Something darker...

Jill Steeples — Wed, 28 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

If you're familiar with my books then you'll know I write heart-warming feelgood stories set in cosy English villages. I love writing about families, friendship and, of course, romance and my stories always have a happy ending. Watch this space for news of a new heartwarming series coming soon!

As much as I love my uplifting fiction, it might surprise you to learn that I do have a dark side! Well, only fictionally, and I'm delighted to share that my debut domestic thriller, I Let You In, is out tomorrow!

If you like page-turning suspense then you might enjoy this read which has been described as compelling, enthralling and with a wild ending.

Here's the details to whet your appetite.

"A single mother struggles to keep a roof over her head, but has no idea of the trouble she invites into her life when she rents out her spare room."

In the aftermath of a bitter marriage breakdown, Mandy Jennings is struggling to survive. While her ex is playing happy families with a new partner, Mandy is fighting to keep a roof over her head. Faced with the prospect of losing her home, she has no other option but to rent out the spare room.

It should be the answer to all her problems, but Mandy has no idea of the trouble that’s about to come knocking at her door. The new lodger isn’t all they seem and, with a demanding new love interest, a teenage son kicking up a fuss, and an ex who’s determined to get back inside the house, Mandy has to wonder if this is the worst decision she’s ever made.
