Book Description
A gripping contemporary novel from a magnificent new talent that tackles the almost unbreakable loyalty of female friendships, the generosity of community and the lengths we will go to save a child. Ren will do anything for her best friend, Anna. The news that Anna's daughter Charlotte has terminal brain cancer sends them on a desperate hunt for a cure and their only hope lies in an expensive European drug trial. Ren jumps on board Anna's fundraising efforts, willing to put everything on the line - her reputation in their close-knit community and all the money she can beg or borrow - to secure Charlotte's place. When the local charity drive quickly becomes a nationwide campaign, townspeople start asking questions about the trial. Questions Ren can't answer. The more she uncovers, the more Ren realises the truth is darker than she could ever imagine. Are there any lines that won't be crossed in their fight for Charlotte?

"When quiet, unassuming Jessica Hilyard mysteriously disappears, Kylie Hatfield promises Jessica's sister she'll find her. So what if she's technically just the office assistant at Starr Investigations? It's the perfect opportunity to prove to her boss she has what it takes to become a real private investigator. But when the evidence starts to link Jessica's disappearance to a dangerous serial killer, everyone warns Kylie to back off the case--the police, her boss, and Linc Coulter, the maddeningly sexy ex-soldier who's training (or trying to train) her nutty Newfoundland dog, Vader, and making Kylie crazy in the process. But nothing's going to stop Kylie from becoming a full-fledged private investigator...not even the threat of an unexpected murderer, who wants to take more than just her life."--Amazon.
