The Highland Retreat

She’s run as far as she can.But danger is closer than ever… ––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Callie is on a winter writing retreat in the wilds of Scotland – a chance to let her creativity flow and heal from the horrifying event that ripped her life apart six months ago. But just as the restorative effects of the retreat start to make an impact, Callie discovers the course tutor dead from an apparent overdose.

She wants to believe his death is an unfortunate event – just like the sobbing she hears at night, the deer carcass left outside the cottage, and the minibus brakes failing when their host goes for help. But when the accidents, and the bodies, start piling up, it becomes difficult to dismiss them as coincidences. Because she’s had a brush with death before, and her ex-boyfriend’s lies in the past could now cost Callie her life…
