The hostage and the captor; the voyeur and the performer; the teacher and the pupil. Here exists a line that should never be crossed – but what if it were? Three full-length thrillers about the boundary of where shame and love lie.

Note: these novels can now be found within a larger anthology: Eclipse Quartet: 4 Psychological Thrillers.

THE SHUTTERED ROOM

Little do they know their captive holds a deadly secret.

Jess is taken hostage and incarcerated in an upstairs room by three thugs demanding a huge ransom from her rich father. 

In a bid to escape, she cuts a hole in the bedroom floor with a cutlery knife. From there, Jess observes the three of them going about their business. That’s when she starts playing games with them. That’s when her spying pulls her into a treacherous psychological game involving a twisted version of Stockholm syndrome.

If only they knew what their captive was up to. What would they do to her?

FALLING AWAKE

“People would do anything for money,” spits a sinister moneylender, to the distaste of Gemma, a single mother facing homelessness.

Thus begins a menacing tale about the uneasy chemistry between an unseen voyeur and a reluctant exhibitionist. If only she knew the sort of man her voyeur was. She wouldn't perform for him.

Insomnia can have the most sinister causes.

A HARD LESSON

Sarah thought she was teaching a schoolchild a little English.

How wrong she was.

Not only is her subject a full-grown thug, he is dyslexic and part of a criminal clique headed by a psychopath. And this psychopath doesn't like people interfering with his business.

Soon, she will learn the meaning of treachery.

And fear.
