BENEATH THE CEIBA TREE
Coming Soon…
A shooting in Africa. A secret buried for decades. Beneath the Ceiba Tree is a compelling psychological mystery about friendship, loyalty, and the enduring power of the past. As long-hidden truths begin to surface, those connected to the event must confront the consequences of a secret that has shaped their lives for more than twenty years.
GILDING THE LILY
A gripping mystery of jealousy, murder and lies.
An invitation to her estranged, wealthy father’s surprise 75th birthday party in New York, sees London-based Amelia and her husband, Jack, set off across the pond to meet a whole new world of family politics.
Amelia, now a successful businesswoman, feels guilty about never liking her father’s women, so does her utmost to give his new socialite partner, Evelyn, the benefit of the doubt. Wouldn’t it be nice if they could just all get along? But there’s something very dark, determined and dangerous about her…
When Amelia’s father, Roger, becomes ill, Jack grows suspicious that there is more to it. Amelia understands why, but no one else will believe them. They travel back to America to piece together the puzzle, but when Roger goes missing, the couple are driven to their wits’ end. It takes a DEA officer and a secret assassin to bring them answers, but the ruthless truth is something no one expected…
