The quiet life Rachel and Ryan Law so crave in Devon is still eluding them. As well as a shock attack they also have to contend with a surprise visitor. On top of all that they're also trying to quietly sort out any problems the local residents come to them with, problems that can't be solved by the police and require their own special brand of brutal justice. Meanwhile one of their enemies is working in the background in an attempt to bring them down once and for all.
Neither is life any more peaceful for Mikey and Jez, who are still recovering from the recent war with Jared Slattery. When they are approached for help by Toni McVay they find themselves caught up in another war, this time in Glasgow. This brings them into contact with Brodie MacBride, a private investigator whose language is as colourful as his personality.
Jules is also struggling with a secret of her own, one that turns her life on its head and could potentially expose the entire family to danger.

Contains sex, violence, strong language and scenes of torture.

Please note this book is part of a series and is not a stand-alone novel.

Author of over seventy books so far. Living on the beautiful west coast of Scotland with my husband, twin daughters and a cat called Mavis, although I am originally from Lancashire in the north of England.

My tastes in all things are eclectic, which extends to my writing. Although I primarily write crime books - especially gangland thrillers - I also write gothic historical romance and fantasy. I publish on Amazon Kindle and some of my novels are available in paperback too. I also have a traditional publishing contract with Boldwood Books.

When I'm not writing - which isn't very often - I enjoy reading Daphne Du Maurier, Edgar Allan Poe, Shirley Jackson, MR James and the Brontes, among many others. I also enjoy swimming, walking and spending time with my family.

WOW!!!!!!!

I can't believe I've just finished book 9 in the series and I'm still totally hooked. I love getting lost in the characters lives and can't wait to read more. I sure hope Beth gets to the bottom of Alfie's anger because she really can't carry on the way she has been with his aggression, he's only a child now but as he grows up it'll only get worse if it's not dealt with.

A mother Great book

I have tried to read this one slowly as I did not want it to finish; am extremely enjoying this series by Heather. I read the last 8 books on holiday last year and have since almost read all her other books also. This is far my favourite series. The first few chapters was like catching up with old friends. Am totally hooked and can't wait for the next one to come out. Although this one did not have as much violence as the others I could not put it down.
