It is often said the past is an unstoppable current, flowing relentlessly into the present and forever shifting the contours of the shores that might have once constituted the future. This is no less true in small villages where memories are long and the effects of both good and evil dwell in the minds and hearts of its residents for generation after generation.

David Hutchings and Clare Edwards arrive at the Tudor Arms in the village of St. Milborn-Under-the-Hill for ostensibly different purposes: he for an historical investigation, she for a first holiday following many years of putting it off and being forced to take one. They soon discover they have a connection to each other, but it is not that which brings them into closer proximity, more than either of them wishes. No, it is the death of one of the villagers. Even before that event, even before they arrive in St. Milborns, they discover there are secrets within the precincts of the village, secrets despite its bucolic and peaceful setting that speak of long-held animosities, secrets that have obscured the truth behind other deaths.

Yet it is David's and Clare's own pasts, the actions they undertook years earlier, the sins they committed which they believe impossible of forgiveness or redemption, that goad them along the path that will ultimately solve not only the most recent murder but the uncovering of the evil which links them all together.All Rights Reserved

Deceased Estate by Geoff Shearer by GeoffShearer

ANTIQUE dealer Joshua McAdams at first believes he has purchased the most important deceased estate so far in his young career. The estate of Elizabeth Crowe, the former headmistress of the local girls college who shot herself dead after attending her companion's funeral, is rich with treasures, but even richer in sinister, and what will prove deadly, secrets. When the Crowe mansion is being prepared for removal to make way for a housing estate, a hidden pit is found near the rear of the historic building. Inside are the skeletal remains of an infant and two girls who went missing two decades earlier - one of them, Josh's beloved little sister Sophie. As Elizabeth Crowe's possessions are scattered wide and far through Josh's shopfront and online auctions, via charity shops and secondhand stores, a coronial inquiry finds Crowe guilty of the three deaths. But the findings are flawed and from beyond her grave, a furious, murderous Crowe becomes intent on avenging the false accusations. Via her possessions, her now repositioned house, even through the very soil where the mansion once stood, Crowe's horrific haunting will see her once beloved coastal town become shrouded in terror, insanity and bloods, lots of blood. It is up to Joshua to not only find some way of appeasing Crowe but to uncover the mystery of the burial pit and the real person responsible for the killings. It will test his stamina, his mental strength and what he thought were the principles behind guilt and innocence.

The Haunted Memories (Forgotten Series, #4) by AMLKoski

Life is full of ups and downs. Sorrel Lamar knows this very well. Five years ago she was happy at home with her parents, the beloved niece of a childless Alpha who had been grooming her to take his position since she first shifted. She was surrounded by incredible friends and loving family. Her twin sister, Magdalene, the most loving of them all. Then it all changed. They came in the night, a group of illegal rogues attacked the pack territory and when the pack was still reeling from the suddenness of the attack and the deaths that followed. The pack's greatest enemy struck at them viciously and without mercy until there was nothing left. Sorrel escaped with only her life intact. Everything else was simply... gone. Five years after she is now the Alpha of a territory she never asked for and is trying to put the pieces of the gutted pack together again. She is trying to bring the lost pack members together so the pack can once again be stable and have unity. It's a harsh battle to bring the pack from silence into truth but Sorrel is trying her best. She isn't sure which is more difficult though. The pack she is attempting to fix with limited knowledge. The vampire she saved three years previous. Her Beta who breaks the bones of males without provocation. Her Delta who snaps and snarls at anyone who attempts to approach him and his mate. Or the very fact of when she closed her eyes to sleep, she is bombarded with memories that are not her own and that she is always surprised to find she is still alive in the morning. That's because those haunted memories belong to someone who was killed, murdered to be exact. Sorrel doesn't know why she views these images while she sleep and she isn't sure how much longer she can take it. After all, in the memories she is forced to witness the last of her family dying over and over again and Sorrel knows one thing for certain. She can never change the past, no matter how badly she wants to save Magdalene.

Vile | H.S | by narcissistiches

In a town where death remains a mystery, and burial is an utter secret. Those who walk along the wrong path, shall feel his presence. An angry presence. He's gone, but he's everywhere. - "Somebody's out there!" "How do you know it's a person?" "Because nature doesn't commit these vile acts." The scene's tension lingered. The rain tapped along the raincoats of those who stood beneath the oak tree in the middle of Norwich, Pennsylvania. They were at a secluded park. Nothing but trees and rain. The rain and soft breathing from the other individuals were all that could be heard. The occasional pounding of one's heart could be heard by the human ear. The squishing dirt beneath the weight of another was heard from a couple miles away. The mud oozed upward in between the toes of whomever the person had been. The rain poured along the grass, creating a mist that was difficult to see past. A dark figure appeared beyond the mist. The figure of a man. He stood there, menacingly. He wanted something. The itching look of his fingertips provided a clear answer that this man didn't come to play a game of hide 'n' seek, but came to play manhunt. - She didn't want to believe he was capable of these vile acts, for she had been blinded by his love. - **WARNING** Contains sexual/mature scenes, strong language, extreme graphic violence and some self harm.

The Rogue Mate by RocketK

"- Have you figured it out? He asks me as he manages to place one of his hands on my face before he traces it down my neck, past my chest and down towards my hips where he grabs a solid hold of my thigh. - Yes, I have... I answer as I move my head slightly closer to his, my hands still around his neck. - What have you discovered? He asks as he moves closer to me in return, our eyes burying into each other. - That I want you, and that I need you. The tip of his nose barely touches mine, but the tension between us causes our skin to be ten times as sensitive as it normally is. - And...? He goes on. - I want you to claim me, Blake. I need you to claim me...now." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Three years ago, Blake and Kate's destinies were intertwined by an event that caused them both losses they found hard to cope with.

Duby's Doctor by IrisChacon2

Winner The Crystal Awards 2016, Best Multimedia Story (3d Place). A spinster doctor rents her spare room to a brain-damaged patient who doesn't know he is a former undercover agent targeted for execution by a powerful criminal. ~o~ ~o~ ~o~ John Doe remembers nothing of his life before waking up in the hospital. He doesn't know he was a dangerous man, and he somehow has survived assassination by even more dangerous men. He doesn't even know how to speak English, or read, or count. Even after his body heals, he will need long-term supervision and care to re-learn how to live. Dr. Mitchell Oberon has been married to her surgical work for too long. So, she resists being attracted to a brain-damaged patient with the body of Adonis and the mind of a child. Agent Frank Stone, of Homeland Security, forces the doctor to take John Doe into her own home while he recovers. Stone, who knows John Doe's past history well, says it's not safe to send him back to the place he lived before he was "killed" by his enemies. If it ever becomes known that John survives, his foes will make sure he doesn't live long. Mitchell tries to protect her heart while she protects the innocent John from a hostile world. As they live together, the two begin to teach one another how to live. Hopefully, they'll also learn how not to die -- because they'll soon be betrayed into the hands of murderers.

The Edge of Misery: The Mitchel Brothers Series Book Two by BritCYancey

** Picks up where The Edge of Hell (Mitchell Brothers Series Book One) left off** If there's one thing Declan Mitchell learned from watching his mama almost die from the heartbreak of losing his daddy to a war nineteen years ago, it was that a great and powerful love delivered an equally devastating heartbreak and suffering-the kind he had every intention of avoiding like the bubonic plague. And until traveling west to Idaho Territory and coming face to face with the mismatch-eyed, auburn-haired beauty, Wren McCrawdon, he believed he might succeed in carrying out his plans of never marrying. Molded by her traumatic journey west when she was twelve, twenty-four-year-old, accident-prone Wren McCrawdon's life on her family's ranch in Falcon Ridge, Idaho, is full of back-breaking work, beginning as dawn's first rays peek across the mountains and ending long after the sun sets when she can barely drag her weary bones up the stairs to her bedroom. But from the morning Declan Mitchell and his family arrive, her miserable existence becomes more bearable until tragedy strikes when all she sees are the harsh realities of loss and suffering. Concerned for Wren's safety and remembering how bitter the edge of misery was after his daddy died-Declan discovers he's willing to do anything he can to take it away from her... even if it means a marriage of convenience is the only suitable solution. There are only two problems: first, it's already apparent he's following in his mama's footsteps toward eventual heartbreak, and second he somehow has to convince Wren to agree.
