All of London believes Evie's husband is one of the world's greatest inventors, rivaled only by the reclusive Earl of Westmorland. Nobody knows that Evie, not her husband, is the real mastermind behind his genius inventions. When Evie's husband is brutally murdered, she is forced to seek out a new partner through whom to sell her creations. Desperation leads her to seek out the earl, a man her late husband despised and returned the sentiment. Though he neither likes nor trusts her, he can't help but feel that her husband's murder is more than it seems. And when Evie's name is added to the suspect list, he has to intervene. Striking a reluctant partnership, Evie and the earl search for the man--or woman--who killed her husband, and uncover a much larger threat--one that threatens all of England.

In the small country town of Flame Tree Bay, everyone knows Sarah Attwell. The older folk remember her when she was barely knee high. Her teachers know Sarah as a dedicated student, and her friends will tell you she is the quintessential girl next door. There isn't much to not like about Sarah. That is until you meet her twin brother, Danny. Danny had always been an outcast. He just never managed to fit in. At school he hung around the misfits and troublemakers; smoking behind the sports shed and skipping classes. People used to say he'd grow out of it; that it was just a phase, only he never did. Every family has a black sheep, and for the Attwell's that's Danny. Problem with that is, he isn't a sheep at all. ---- Warning: contains violence, adult themes and undoubtedly a few grammatical errors. {unedited} ©2014 ellarose12

Jade Matherson didn't really do reality. For one thing, she spent every day on the train imagining lives for the passengers she travelled with. Yeah maybe it made her a little creepy, but it sure passed the time well. Then one afternoon, as Jade was quietly minding her own business and semi-stalking people, one of her 'characters' received The Phone Call. You know the one. It sucks all the air out of your body and leaves you drowning in a sea of your own panic, your own colossal helplessness. You can't see, you can't hear, you can't breathe. All you can think is, No, this isn't happening. Suddenly Jade's faced with a very real dilemma. Help him or run? Seems like a no brainer right? Thing is, Jade's been swimming in De Nile, and she's been swimming there a long time. Like we said, Jade didn't really do reality, and with Nick Evans, things were about as real as it got.

The agency mold her into the perfect killing machine, and at 19 she is no longer the shy girl that was snatched away from her uncomplicated life, but a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to complete whatever mission she is on.

What will happen once Faith comes face to face with Jace?
