Fame is a performance, and the greatest illusions happen behind the scenes. When Evelyn Hart, a celebrated actress, vanishes from her hotel room without a trace, the world is left grasping for answers. No witnesses. No forced entry. No sign of struggle. Just a few cryptic diary entries, a collection of old photographs, and a past that refuses to stay buried. Detectives Adrian Cole and Madison Lane, once childhood friends turned reluctant partners, are called in to investigate the disappearance. Their reputations precede them-Adrian, known for his calculated approach and sharp intuition, and Madison, relentless in her pursuit of justice.

As they unravel Evelyn's past, they discover a tangled web of deception, power, and betrayal leading straight to Victor Calloway, a renowned director with a talent for crafting perfect illusions-on and off the screen. He was once Evelyn's closest ally, but something dark simmered beneath their friendship. And now, as Adrian and Madison get closer to the truth, they realize someone is erasing every trace of Evelyn's existence, silencing those who dare to speak. With every step forward, the danger intensifies. Someone is watching. Someone is pulling strings. And the deeper they dig, the harder it becomes to tell friend from foe. But in the midst of the chaos, Adrian and Madison find themselves facing another mystery-the one between them. Years of separation couldn't erase the bond they once had, but will this case bring them back together or break them apart for good?

One moment, Emma Scott is in her college room in 2015, and the next she's in 1921 falling in love with an ex-soldier with a charming smile and a secret... Emma's an old hand at time travel: the first time she was pulled backwards she was ten years old. She can sense the memories that stone, fabric and wood have soaked up: usually she just sees them, but sometimes she ends up living them. She knows the drill: (1) avoid getting pulled backwards in the first place; (2) avoid the object that's pulled you backwards; (3) prevent the memory that imprints on the object, or, if all that fails, (4) wait it out until you're back in the right time. The problem is that the object was an old ring that her Granny Alice bequeathed to her, and Emma last saw it on the finger of her great grandmother, fleeing into a crowded London street. Now Emma is trying to find the ring and go back to her own time, but her great grandmother has vanished, and meanwhile there's Charlie Lawrence who's making Emma wonder if she even wants to go back at all...Complete
