got what she wanted - the good-looking man, the beautiful baby, the perfect
home. But she's just been accused of the most terrible thing of all. She can't
be around her new family until she has come to terms with something that
happened a long time ago. And to do that, she needs to track down her twin
sister. But Sarah isn't the only person looking for Robin. As their paths
intersect, something dangerous is set in motion, leading Robin and Sarah to
fight for much more than their relationship...

after her best friend, Corinne, disappeared without trace. Then a letter from
her father arrives - 'I need to talk to you. That girl. I saw that girl.' Has
her father's dementia worsened, or has he really seen Corinne? Returning home,
Nicolette must finally face what happened on that terrible night all those
years ago. Then, another young woman goes missing, almost to the day of the
anniversary of when Corinne vanished. And like ten years ago, the whole town is
a suspect. Told backwards - Day 15 to Day 1 - Nicolette works to unravel the

really happened to Corinne.
Karin
knew what she was getting herself into when she fell for John, the high-flying
criminal and love of her life. But she never imagined things would turn out
like this: John is now gone and the coke-filled parties, seemingly endless flow
of money and high social status she previously enjoyed have been replaced by
cut telephone lines, cut heat and cut cash. All that remains of Karin's former
life is the big house he bought for her - and his daughter, the child Karin
once swore she would never bring into their dangerous world. Now Karin is alone
with the baby, and the old promise of 'the family' has proved alarmingly empty.
With the authorities zeroing in on organized crime, John's shady legacy is
catching up with her, and the house is about to be seized. Over the course of a
few nerve-wracking days, Karin is forced to take drastic measures in order to
claim what she considers rightfully hers.
