The Separation by Dinah Jeffries – Available from Amazon >>
Book Synopsis
I write about loss.
I write about how hard it is to move on when the past won’t let you go. I write about families torn apart. I write about slices of 20th Century history with all its intrigue and social upheaval. I sometimes have fun with a little dash of romantic love. But above all I write about the unbreakable bonds of love.
“I have three words to describe this book: Captivating, Powerful and Passionate.” Deborah Rodriguez, bestselling author of The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul.
“A powerful story of love and loss that is utterly captivating”.Kate Furnivall, bestselling author of The Russian Concubine.
“A tense and steamy 1950s Malaya, beautifully described. I loved it,”Lucinda Riley, bestselling author of The Midnight Rose.

She comes looking for excitement and she finds it in the dashing form of Captain Bay Middleton, the only man in Europe who can outride her. Ten years younger than her and engaged to the rich and devoted Charlotte, Bay has everything to lose by falling for a woman who can never be his.

The Devils in the Marshalsea – Available from Amazon >>
Book Synopsis
London, 1727 – and Tom Hawkins is about to fall from his heaven of card games, brothels and coffee-houses into the hell of a debtors’ prison. The Marshalsea is a savage world of its own, with simple rules: those with family or friends who can lend them a little money may survive in relative comfort. Those with none will starve in squalor and disease. And those who try to escape will suffer a gruesome fate at the hands of the gaol’s rutheless governor and his cronies. The trouble is, Tom Hawkins has never been good at following rules – even simple ones. And the recent grisly murder of a debtor, Captain Roberts, has brought further terror to the gaol. While the Captain’s beautiful widow cries for justice, the finger of suspicion points only one way: to the sly, enigmatic figure of Samuel Fleet. Some call Fleet a devil, a man to avoid at all costs. But Tom Hawkins is sharing his cell. Soon, Tom’s choice is clear: get to the truth of the murder – or be the next to die.
