Named after burning up in flames in 1854, Arsoncliff is known as the strangest town in Australia. Filled with the strangest people, some of the most gruesome murders, and unsolvable mysteries, Arsoncliff is not your average family holiday location.
Reporter Curtis Joals, from Sydney, has been set on the case. Curtis starts interviewing individuals, some part of the mystery, others bystanders, about events and problems, as he digs to not only expose the town, but unlock the case to his past.
But if bringing back up his past is bringing his alcohol and drug issues, then Curtis is in for a lot of shit, and not just remembering all the bad stuff he's done, but hiding from the towns murderer, Lou Sipher.

All Yours
"Please," I whisper, my voice trembling as tears prick the corners of my eyes. "Please don't hurt me." The words barely escape my throat, fragile and desperate. He studies me for a moment, tilting his head slightly, almost as if he's amused by my plea. Then he scoffs, the sound sharp and mocking. "Why would I want to do that?" he murmurs, his voice smooth but carrying a dark undertone that chills me. He takes a step forward, and instinctively, I step back. "I've just found you..." He pauses, his gaze dragging over my face like a predator sizing up its prey. "And now you're mine." Aurora Evans leads a life of simplicity. Eat, work, sleep-her unchanging regimen is her sanctuary, and she has no intention of altering it. But what unfolds when a shadowy figure, lurking beyond her windows, takes an insidious interest in her? One glance at her in a café ensnares him, rendering him captivated, his singular ambition becoming clear: to claim her as his own. Aurora's attempts to escape his shadowy games are futile, especially in the cloak of night when he emerges, weaving his spell under the cover of darkness. He teases, entices, and pushes her perilously close to her breaking point. Her resolve is to distance herself as much as possible. Yet, fate has a cruel sense of irony. When she is abruptly dismissed from her previous job, she unwittingly lands a position working for him-as his assistant-entangling her in a web she can no longer evade. *A STALKER ROMANCE* #1 in "assistant" 12/23/24 #1 in "criminal" 3/8/25Complete
