"A troubled woman seeking a fresh start in the Scottish countryside believes her neighbour may be behind the strange disturbances in her home in this psychological horror debut for fans of The Lamb and We Used to Live Here.
“The symmetry should have tipped me off.”
After a violent incident at work, Tamsin goes looking for a fresh start in a remote cottage far away from her old life. Here she could make real friends, find a job she loves, become a whole new person, even.
But the solitary cottage is actually a semi-detached, with only a thin wall separating her from a total stranger. Her neighbour is an enigma. Dowdy one moment, vivacious the next, but always wearing an unnerving smile. Tamsin can’t shake the feeling that there’s something wrong with her, especially when she starts experiencing disturbances in her own home.
As the locals share strange stories about her house, and her barely contained paranoia spirals out of control, Tamsin begins to suspect that the past she was so desperate to escape might never let her go.
“Masterful … a wild spiral of madness and magic, and the brutal truth of our darkest shadows.”—Megan Bontrager, author of The Sea Hides Its Dead"
"A chilling Gothic horror novel set at a coed boarding school in Scotland, where a teen girl must not only fight against her monstrous male classmates but the monster growing within her after being cursed.
Every wish granted comes with strings attached. That's how Catriona Cameron ends up with a scholarship to Floodbane Academy-an elite boarding school on the Isle of Skye she never applied to-where she'll be one of only six girls to enter the castle's unwelcoming halls.
She's not looking for trouble. But after a few male students violently attack and make cruel wishes about her, Catriona is cursed with devastatingly good looks, unpredictable new powers, and an insatiable hunger to devour anyone who preys upon women.
As the cravings mount, so does the carnage. With every new taste, Catriona faces the possibility that she is becoming as monstrous as those she hunts. Is slaying the wicked truly worth the loss of her humanity?"
"The small Scottish town of Auchenmullan is dead, and has been for years. It sits in the shadow of a mountain, forgotten and atrophying in the perpetual gloom.

MAGGIE WALL BURIED HERE AS A WITCH reads the faded inscription.
But sometimes the dead don't stay buried. Especially when they have unfinished business.
Contains mature themes."

"One snowy village. Two guarded hearts. A Christmas they’ll never forget.
After a year of burying her heartbreak in endless work, Jessica Stewart returns to her childhood home in the Scottish village of Rowan Bay. She hopes the Christmas lights and familiar faces will help her rediscover the woman she used to be.
She doesn’t expect Reuben Campbell.
Once her brother’s infuriating best friend, and the boy who teased her endlessly, Reuben is now a ruggedly handsome architect with an easy charm. And he’s suddenly everywhere Jessica turns.
As the village prepares for Christmas, Jessica and Reuben find themselves picking out the perfect Christmas tree, attending the festive light switch-on and avoiding gingerbread house disasters. The spark between them is undeniable, and Reuben’s steady, warm presence slowly begins to melt the walls Jessica has spent so long building.
But Jessica came home to escape complications — and Reuben, for all his warmth, is hiding heartbreak and secrets of his own.
As Christmas approaches can two people with every reason to resist each other finally give in to a second chance neither saw coming?"
"After losing the career she built her life around, Flora Fraser retreats to her grandmother’s lochside cottage in Rowan Bay for the summer.
Rowan Bay offers peace, kindness . . . and Brodie Robertson. Brodie is infuriatingly self-assured, impossibly charming, and far too rooted in village life to fit into Flora’s temporary plans. Their first encounters spark with friction—and he always seems to be around when things go wrong. For Flora, it can’t get worse—until she and Brodie find themselves working together. What begins as a battle of wills slowly deepens into attraction, one that becomes harder to resist with every day.
As summer unfolds, mornings spent swimming in the loch, evenings filled with laughter and long walks under starry skies, begin to heal parts of Flora she thought she’d lost. Rowan Bay feels less like a refuge—and more like home. But Flora has always believed her stay to be temporary. And Brodie belongs here. When the time comes for Flora to leave, both must decide whether this was simply a fleeting escape—or the beginning of something that could last beyond one perfect summer.
A warm, uplifting, small-town romance about fresh starts, unexpected connections, and the courage to choose happiness. Perfect for fans of feel-good summer love stories from Sarah Morgan, Cressida McLaughlin, Phillipa Ashley, Cathy Bramley, Mandy Baggot, Emma Bennet, and Heidi Swain."
"Lady Isla Kinsey knows that the animosity between her family, the Dukedom of Grayburn, and their distant kinsmen, the Earldom of Northcairn, is the stuff of legends. Therefore, falling in love with a son of the enemy house would be apocalyptic. So when Captain Tavish Balfour, second son of the Earl of Northcairn, returns home after Waterloo, Lady Isla is determined to resist his allure. Granted, the not-falling-in-love part would be easier if Isla and Tavish weren't already married.
Captain Tavish Balfour has cashed out of his military commission and is ready to start a new life. But there is the pesky matter of his marriage. As teenagers, they tied the knot of their handfasting—an ill-advised decision he has regretted ever since. Thankfully, Scottish law allows for divorce.
Unfortunately for Tavish, Isla is as captivating and lovely as his memories recall. As for Isla, she fears Tavish will reawaken the unconventional woman she was becoming all those years ago.
Yet even if they were to fall in love again, what could come of it? The history of acrimony between their families still casts a long shadow, and the forces that shredded their love in the past have not changed."
