“
I am sorry for what you endured,” Harry growled when he
finally lifted his head.
“
It’s not your fault,” she whispered.
“
Your dreams were shattered, darling. You have every right to
be angry about what you have been through.”
Tilly
thought about that for a moment.
She had
stepped off the coach several weeks ago expecting a new life in
Tooting Mallow that was everything she had ever dreamt of. Those
dreams had been shattered in the cruellest of ways. It would be
foolish of her to try to deny any of that.
“
It doesn’t matter,” she declared firmly.
He
stared at her in stunned surprise. “How can you say that? Look at
what you have been through.”
“
I may have had those dreams shattered, but I have found
something infinitely more precious. Something delightfully
wonderful, and considerably more than I had ever dreamt possible
for someone like me.”
Harry
lifted his brows. “Oh? What’s that?”
Tilly
smiled at him and kissed his chin. “You.”
The
End.
LIES AND MISDEMEANOURS
Released
28th MAY 2015
Cover by Melody Simmons of ebookindiecovers.com
When
Charles ‘Charlie’ Edward Ryder unwittingly places his trust in the
wrong people, he faces the cruellest of betrayals.
Now,
with the gallows in plain sight, he has to face the harsh reality
that time has just run out, and he won’t get the opportunity to do
something about his abiding love for on the one woman he never knew
he loved before now. With the crowd cheering and jostling to get a
better view of his demise, he catches sight of her amongst the
melee, and is forced to face the final humiliation of having her
witness his death.
Henrietta ‘Hetty’ Jones feels physically sick when the
realisation of what she is about to do sinks in. She knows that if
things go horribly wrong, she will end up the next one at the end
of the hangman’s noose, but she cannot simply stand by and allow
her brother, or his friend, to die for crimes they did not
commit.
When the
hangman steps forward to do his work, Hetty is forced to take
drastic action.
Unfortunately, nobody is prepared for their lives being
thrown into such chaos and confusion that they are left unable to
trust anyone.
For
Hetty and Charlie, it soon becomes evident that the only thing they
can place their faith in is the love that lies between them, but
will that be enough to keep them alive? Or will the hangman’s noose
gain three more victims?
