Jerico is about to meet two figures from his
past. One filled with love, the other consumed with vengeance.
The coastal town of Nyemouth is the perfect location
for celebrity chef Jerico Osman to fulfil a lifetime ambition. With it’s
stunning harbour and brisk holiday trade, there’s no better place for him to
open his first restaurant. It’s a dream that has been a decade in the making. But
there’s another attraction in Nyemouth, one Jerico was completely unaware of.
Andy Quinn is content with his life. He has a great
job managing Quay House, the popular waterfront hotel, and a peaceful home with
a cat called Patches. Andy spent his twenties working in the cruise industry, exploring
the world and has finally settled in his home town of Nyemouth. Those years at
sea were a time of adventure and discovery, including a ship bound romance with
a young Jerico. After fifteen years, Andy doubts the famous chef will even
remember him, but from the moment they reconnect, the time they spent apart
falls away.
Andy isn’t the only figure from Jerico’s past. A week
before the restaurant is due to open, an act of reckless sabotage puts
everything he cares about in danger, including Andy. Jerico has made an enemy,
someone who will stop at nothing to see his long-realised dream become a
nightmare. As a plan for vengeance is played out, who will survive until the
end?

Book 4: COLD DAY DAWNING
Danger comes with the cold of morning.
It
should be the perfect weekend away. Dalton Caine makes the long journey to
Nyemouth to attend a party hosted by his sister. Catherine is estranged from
most of the family, but Dalton feels the time has come to build bridges between
them. Things don’t turn out how he wants when Catherine gives him a cold
reception at the party, but the evening is not a complete waste of time when he
meets local photographer Antoni.
Following
a near fatal attack six months earlier, Antoni has struggled with his physical
and mental recovery. Catherine’s party is the first time he had been out at
night since and he’s ready for an early exit when he meets Dalton. The stranger
is warm, friendly and incredibly handsome. When Antoni overcomes his
reservations and accepts a drink at Dalton’s hotel, it could be the start of
something new for both of them.
Despite
the joy of fresh romance, things soon take a darker turn. The morning after the
party, Catherine’s boyfriend reports her missing. Dalton isn’t initially
concerned. Catherine has disappeared of her own will before and he’s more
interested in getting to know Antoni, but the men soon find themselves at the
centre of a twisted mystery, one that puts both of their lives in danger.

Matt arrives in the seaside town of Nyemouth for a much-needed vacation. As a successful lawyer, Matt has a hectic career, and with an ex-husband still pestering him for money, he is long overdue a break. A holiday home perched above the town and its breath-taking harbour seems like the perfect place to unwind. Matt can’t wait to explore the beautiful, jagged shorelines and lose himself for a couple of weeks.
Jake has made a home in Nyemouth. After growing up in the city, living on the coast is everything to him. Running a business with his sister and volunteering on the crew of the local lifeboat, he is exactly where he wants to be. But Jake’s life is far from peaceful. Though he left his domineering husband Vince a year ago, Vince refuses to consent to a divorce or loosen his controlling hold on Jake.
On Matt’s first night in town, he encounters the couple having a blazing row. When Vince turns violent, Matt intervenes and takes Jake inside to escape his angry ex. Despite what happened, Matt feels a powerful attraction to the younger man. Jake is bright, endearing and unbelievably attractive, but the young man’s life is complicated. Matt already has enough problems of his own. He came away looking for an escape, not a starry-eyed distraction. As Matt and Jake get to know each other better, the gamble on a holiday romance becomes hard for either of them to resist. They have both been unlucky in love before. Maybe this time will be different.
Vince will not be shaken off so easily. He has no intention of letting Jake go…ever. As Matt’s and Jake’s emotions deepen, they do not understand how far Vince will take things to keep his husband. As far as Vince is concerned, they made a vow to each other… “till death do us part.”
