With the 2010 Olympics approaching, Valerie settles into her new role, finding solace in her peaceful surroundings and the companionship of Hank, a canine friend she grows to appreciate. However her tranquility is shattered when a chance encounter sets off unforeseen consequences, unwittingly entangling her in a dangerous drug trafficking scheme that has infiltrated the once-serene town.
Soon, a long-hidden murder resurfaces, pulling her into the unravelling of events within the home she's entrusted to care for.

Amid escalating tension, a surprising romance catches Valerie off guard and it slowly eases her through the unfolding mysteries.
Struggling to move on, Valerie can't seem to let go of finding the answers she hopes will serve as her atonement. What concealed truths lie beneath the surface, and will Valerie's pursuit lead her to the answers she seeks or deeper into the shadows of what she was running from?

REVIEWED BY Lukanyo Mbanga
"Alyssa Hall is romance writer of note, and being rather cynical of romances, it’s safe to say that this is a novel that could move even the hardest of hearts. I, myself can’t even blame tears that trickled down my cheek while reading the last page on the dust in my living room… "
WANTING AIDAN
A compelling new mystery set in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
​Wanting Aidan takes place in Yorkshire and Derbyshire, a very beautiful part of England. Join Joe as he tries to solve this shocking mystery. Ann Cleeves has been the inspiration for this story, as I enjoy following her Vera character.
When Joe Parrott, a somewhat disillusioned private investigator, discovers the body of a woman near his home, he is determined to do her justice and find the killer. Haunted by her image, he begins his quest for answers. Joe learns that the deceased, Rita, was a runaway from an abusive home. Not only that but at a young age, she endured a tragic life-changing experience. With the help of an unexpected ally and his friends in the Sheffield Police, Joe begins to unravel the mystery of this young woman, uncovering a shattering revelation that will reverberate through those connected to Rita—and impact his own life as well.
Wanting Aidan is a captivating crime drama that will leave readers wondering about how we each choose the paths we take.

TRUSTING CLAIRE
Claire Perova has always struggled to find the people and places that make up “home.” After a lengthy university adventure in Greece, she returns to Canada where she eventually meets two men. But just as her romantic life starts getting complicated, Claire becomes embroiled in a strange death. Or was it murder? Despite her best efforts, she can’t escape the aftermath of the crime. Every new step gives rise to surprise encounters, risky situations, and all-or-nothing alternatives. Soon, Claire learns that people are not always what they seem, and smiling faces conceal scheming motives. Should she listen to her sensible friend, Kate, and drop the whole thing, or should she follow her gut and chase the truth?
This is a story about love, loss, friendship, and courage. Trusting Claire brings Claire to the point of no return. Along the way, she might just solve the riddles that have followed her since childhood.
Claire's town is actually Newmarket, Ontario, although I preferred to leave it nameless. I had created a fictitious version of Newmarket, as many questionable things take place in my book and I didn't want it to reflect on the town itself. Newmarket is a beautiful town and it holds my heart.
