THE CHILD UPSTAIRS
She has no memory of her sisters. One of them would stop at nothing to protect her. The other has vowed to destroy her. Which one will find her first?
Steffi knows she's lucky. She lives in a gorgeous house in Edinburgh with her fiancé, Tom, his adorable daughter and the new baby she has always longed for.
But she hasn’t told anybody that there have been several near-misses involving the children. That she’s terrified of going upstairs in her own house. Or that her childhood imaginary friend has come back, whispering instructions on how to look after the baby. Worst of all, she can’t confide in Tom. Not after what happened to his first wife.
Miles away in Yorkshire, Joanne’s life couldn’t be more different. Nobody would call her a ‘people person’ and she’s managed without them for years, devoting her life to caring for abandoned cats. But now she has decided to embark on a search that could change everything. A beloved family member was taken from her long ago, and now she intends to find her, whatever it takes.
But there is someone else out there too, playing a deadly game. Someone who is consumed with the desire for revenge, and is waiting for the right time to strike.
Escape into this gripping and emotional psychological thriller, full of heart-stopping twists and family secrets.

THE CHILD IN MY HOUSE
A family riddled with lies. A little girl who won't speak. What if keeping her safe means losing her forever?
Juliet only wanted to see her childhood home one more time – to look at it from the street. She never intended to meet the new owners, let alone inveigle herself into a position as their new live-in nanny. But it’s too late now to tell the truth about who she really is.
Six-year-old Kitty has progressive mutism and cannot speak. Nobody knows why she keeps making silent phone calls to the police. Juliet makes it her mission to find out.
As Juliet settles into the house, nostalgia for her childhood gives way to uneasiness, as troubling memories surface. She grows increasingly concerned for Kitty’s welfare, and realises that her new employers have a connection to her own past, and family secrets she has tried hard to forget.
And she is horrified to learn that they have a secret too – one that could blow their world apart.
Juliet faces an impossible choice. Keeping Kitty safe will cost more than she could ever have imagined.
Escape into this stunning psychological thriller with unforgettable characters and an ending you won't see coming.

When lonely single mum Janey stumbles into an art workshop, she can't believe her eyes when her left hand mysteriously scribbles a picture of two little girls and a strange message from someone called 'Hattie': Janey's childhood best friend. But they lost touch after Hattie's family suddenly moved away in mysterious circumstances.

And when writing appears on the walls of her flat and Pip starts playing with an invisible friend, Janey fears she's losing her mind.
Is it really a good idea to go digging up the past? As dark secrets come to light, she can't be sure what's real any more - or who to trust....

TINY ACTS OF LOVE
Surviving motherhood? It's all about having the right support network. Lawyer and new mum Cassie has a husband who converses mainly through jokes, a best friend on the other side of the world, and a taskforce of Babycraft mothers who make her feel she has about as much maternal aptitude as a jellyfish.
Husband Jonathan dismisses Cassie’s maternal anxieties, but is he really paying attention to his struggling wife? He’s started sleep talking and it seems there’s more on his mind than he’s letting on. Then sexy, swaggering ex-boyfriend Malkie saunters into Cassie’s life again. Unlike Jonathan, he ‘gets’ her. He’d like to get her into bed again, too…
And on top of all her emotional turmoil, she also finds herself advising a funeral director on ghost protocol and becomes involved in an act of hotel spa fraud, never mind hiding cans of wasp spray all over the house to deal with the stalker who seems to be lurking everywhere she looks. Marriage and motherhood isn’t the fairytale Cassie thought it would be. Will her strange new world fall apart around her or will tiny acts of love be enough to get her through?
Funny, perceptive and real, Tiny Acts of Love portrays the rawness of motherhood, the flipside of love and the powerful lure of paths not taken.
