From the Broken Pieces

Why couldn’t the past just stay … in the past? Where it belonged. Locked up in its cage in a bricked over vault where she’d thrown it when she’d arrived in London all those years ago.

Matilda Elizabeth Wentworth, the somewhat shy, craven teenager boarded the train in St Leonards-on-Sea. By the time it arrived in London, she emerged as Mattie Sutherland, a woman that refused to be told what to do, how to live, or who to love. Over the last decade, she’s built a new life, created a new family, and she was happy.

Or was she?

A chance encounter with a travel vlogger has her questioning not just what it means to be happy, but what a good relationship looks like. And then she questions everything when she finds out she has a stalker. Is her new friend tied to this man that’s following her around? The winter hols are bad enough, she doesn’t need all this on top of it! And just when she thinks everything is going to be alright, her stalker shows up at the annual New Year’s Eve do she and her best mate Ash have – and he isn’t alone.

Inheritance

Evelyn Brody thought that inheriting her uncle’s home in the northwest coast of British Columbia would let her start over. Newly divorced from her alcoholic husband and with two boys in tow, she throws herself into the chance to clear her head in the wild beauty of the coast.

But the house is in need of repair and there are strange rooms that spook her children and make her start to think that leaving her home on the south coast was a bad idea

Never mind the handsome lawyer from Prince Rupert who seems a trifle too concerned with her well being. Or the weird and yet strangely compelling groundskeeper who refuses to answer any questions about himself.

What happened at the old house in the forest and why does her oldest son in particular seem both oddly fascinated and repulsed by it?

There’s something deeply wrong with her summer home and if she doesn’t work with her allies to figure it out, her boys’ lives may be on the line…
