In this twisty thriller from New York Times bestselling author Colleen
Hoover, a frustrated author looks for her muse in a remote hideaway,
but what she finds defies all expectations…and reality.
Her words used to set the page on fire. But a viral backlash over her
latest film adaptation forced Petra Rose to take a hiatus, resulting in
missed deadlines and an overdue mortgage. Branded a fraud and
fame-hungry opportunist, she learned the hard way what happens when the
internet turns on you. And she’s been uninspired to write ever since.
Now, with her next suspense novel outlined and savings nearly gone, she
retreats to a secluded lakeside cabin, hoping to find inspiration. It’s
Petra’s last-ditch attempt to save her career―and herself.
Then he shows up.
Detective Nathaniel Saint arrives with disturbing news, his presence
igniting a creativity in her she thought long since burned out. Petra’s
words return in a rush, and her fictional cop character begins to
mirror the very real cop who’s becoming her muse.
Their “research” sessions blur the lines between fantasy and reality.
Each glance, every touch pulls Petra deeper into a world she thought
she’d never lose herself in again. She’s never felt more alive. But
inspiration this powerful comes at a cost.
When Saint starts taking his role in her career a little too seriously,
Petra’s forced to confront the chaos she created. But doing so could
cost her more than the reputation she’s been trying to salvage. The
reputation the world wrote for her―the reputation only she can reclaim.

Jess needs a fresh start. She's broke and alone, and she's just left
her job under less than ideal circumstances. Her half-brother Ben
didn't sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a
bit, but he didn't say no, and surely everything will look better from
Paris. Only when she shows up - to find a very nice apartment, could
Ben really have afforded this? - he's not there.
The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her
brother's situation, and the more questions she has. Ben's neighbors
are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. Jess may have
come to Paris to escape her past, but it's starting to look like it's
Ben's future that's in question.
The socialite - The nice guy - The alcoholic - The girl on the verge -
The concierge

The newlyweds off to their tropical honeymoon .

few words, she will make a prediction, tying herself to them all. And,
in being bound to her, these disparate strangers will be drawn together
. . .
Who is this woman? Is she a clairvoyant? A charlatan? The answer to
prayers, or a harbinger of nightmares?
They are about to find out – here one moment . . .
Moord aan boord van die Leonardo
Forensiese patoloog Madelein Blignaut het al te veel dood in haar

Daar ontmoet sy ’n groep fassinerende Suid-Afrikaners: Die bekroonde
pianis Tibor Lindeque wat kort-kort bekommerd vir haar kyk en ’n
aantreklike kulkunstenaar Helmut Coleman wat gou vir haar
onweer-staanbaar raak.
Wanneer hulle op Okinawa afklim, vertel Tibor vir haar die inwoners van
hierdie eiland word oeroud. “Daar is nie dood op Okinawa nie.”
Maar hy is verkeerd. Kort voor lank tref hulle die een na die ander
medepassasier se lyk aan. ’n Storm dwing hulle na dieper waters toe, en
dan besef Madelein daar is ’n moordenaar op die Leonardo. Wie is dit?
Wat wil hulle hê? En, meer belangrik, wie’s volgende?
