    • You want to save your marriage. She wants to destroy it. Paula worries that her marriage to Tommy is hanging by a thread. She loves how safe her husband makes her feel, but lately, it seems like he's pulling away from her, and he keeps avoiding a much-needed conversation about finally having children. When Tommy suggests a cruise getaway for the two of them, Paula is thrilled. He's fighting for this marriage, and he's even promised that they will talk about growing their family. It's Paula's dream come true. Until the couple meets beautiful Anna. From the moment Anna appears in their lives, things start to go wrong for Paula. She finds herself trapped in a sauna. Her hair is destroyed at the salon. Money goes missing from her cabin. At first, Paula thinks she's paranoid in suspecting Anna is turning her dream holiday into a nightmare. But soon, it becomes clear that Paula may not be the only woman fighting for Tommy's affections. How far will Anna go to get what she wants? What lines will Paula cross to protect her marriage? And whose dark past will return to destroy them first?Runtime: 10. 08 hours. Unabridged, 8 library CDs.

    • "I know they think I killed my husband. Because they think I've killed before. Eight years ago, a girl I knew died. I try not to think too much about that time, about the person I used to be when that tragedy happened. It hurts too much. Besides, it's so far in the past. Now, I have a beautiful home and a committed husband. I should be looking to the future. But then one day, my husband is found dead in the home we built together. The police seem convinced that I had something to do with it - it's always the wife, right? And it doesn't help that the police thought I had something to do with that girl's death, eight years ago, too. When things seem like they can't get any worse, I arrive home to find an unwelcome visitor on my doorstep. Even though we were best friends once, it takes a moment for me to recognise her. Because she doesn't look like herself anymore. She looks like... me. She's even wearing my favourite perfume. I can't help but wonder why she's here so soon after my husband's death. Coincidences happen. But in my bones, I know this isn't that."--Provided by publisher

They have found peace since arriving at their new home in the Kielder Forest National Park twelve months ago. That is, unless you count the dark cloud that has settled over them, and the crippling tension behind closed doors. Sara tries to pretend everything is normal, but in reality she is haunted by a devastating truth about one of her children. Travis, a local art teacher with a reputation as a counsellor skilled at helping troubled teens, has been watching Sara. He sees her fragility, and believes that he can fix her, and her eldest son. Like his mother, Scott barely speaks, and has a look in his eye that hints of unimaginable trauma. If he can persuade Sara to trust him, she will see that Travis can take away the pain she is also suffering. But below the surface, Sara is anything but weak. And when she is cornered, she will go to extreme lengths to protect her most precious boy. A good mother will do anything for her child. She may even kill for him..."--Provided by publisher.
