About this series
An imposition. An insult. And a dead poet.
When the Literary and Historical Society decide to hold their end of year event at Wingate Hall, it's the last thing Emma needs.
With her husband missing in action and the weather worsening, she's forced to face the group alone. They arrive with all their airs and prejudice, a rotten cohort determined to feast on the rumours of her former life.
But an unexpected blizzard traps them at the Hall, and one of the guests will not survive the night.
With no way to summon help, and no one able to leave, it seems the killer is still in the house.
Someone disconnected the internet and cut off their remaining communication.
Others are keeping damaging secrets.
One is burning with fury, another plotting revenge.
Three are not who they pretend to be, and one is a stealer of dreams.
Emma must find the killer.
Because they haven't finished yet.

1
Desperate. Destitute. But no longer alone. She's stayed hidden for six years. What harm could it do to attend her best friend's wedding miles away from home? But the handsome actuary is the last person she expected to find on the dance floor. He knows who she is and the encounter causes an unwelcome reality check. She must protect her son. Emma made a promise, to hide and stay hidden. From him. But the old chemistry is still there. Just his smile is enough to plunge her back into confusion. So, she does the thing that worked last time. She runs. The journey home to her dismal house in the poorest sector of the city is fraught with danger. Even the taxi driver is too afraid to venture onto the housing estate. Emma is now trapped in a prison of her own making, fearful of a knock on the front door. She knows it's coming. She knows he's coming. This time, she has nowhere left to run. And the one who helped her last time is no longer taking her calls. Readers say, "This was impossible to put down." There are 4 books in this series.
