Claire Stanhope returns to the English Lake District after a five-year absence to resolve her past. Instead she meets two American men, one who'll kill her without remorse and the other who'll do his best to save her. Which can she trust? If she makes the wrong choice, she dies. This is the sequel to Clues to Love.
"Stop him.! Stop him!" Claire Stanhope had been waiting for a train in a small Devon station near Exeter. She turned and saw a woman running down the platform in her direction, in pursuit of a small boy. The child darted by Claire and reached the front of the platform where he tottered on the edge then fell onto the tracks. Mindless of her own safety, Claire leaped from the platform onto the tracks below. She grabbed the child. Holding him tightly in her arms, she rolled away from the tracks. Seconds later, the express train roared past them, missing Claire and the child by mere inches.
Excerpt
"No one had ever kissed her like the Bugle man. Claire became so absorbed in the sheer pleasure of kissing him, she almost fell over when he released her.
"Are you all right?" His voice sounded amused.
Claire blushed, too embarrassed to look him in the eye. "Ah, I'm fine, thank you." She smoothed her hair.
"You don't have to thank me. It was my pleasure, Miss. I always enjoy kissing a pretty girl." When she raised her eyes and gazed in his direction, he grinned like a naughty boy caught doing God knows what."
