About this ebook
He never brings me flowers...
Waiting for your boyfriend to finally come home from work can be hell, especially if it's your anniversary and you suspect he forgot – again. But does the ringing of the doorbell promise roses and sex and the long overdue proposal or something far more sinister?
Lovers' Ridge
A foundling, a newborn, abandoned and left to die. But tonight, he will have his revenge on the parents who deserted him. Tonight, they will pay, at the very place where the story once began, at Lovers' Ridge…
This is a bumper edition containing two short crime stories of 3200 words altogether. Both stories are also available as part of the collection Murder in the Family.

Ted worked long hours. He had to, he said. He couldn’t just go home at five o’clock like other people. After all, he made a lot of money. Much more than other people. So naturally he had to work harder. Harder and longer. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices,
