HE WALKS PAST MY HOUSE
​Valentine and Hopewell

THE FIRST NOVEL WRITTEN LIVE ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
A psychological suspense drama where love is not always what it seems.

Four lives entwined. A secret that binds them together, with deadly consequences for the future.
How far will they go for revenge?
HE WALKS PAST MY HOUSE EVERY DAY. I WAIT FOR HIM. AND I WATCH. "Today should be my wedding day, the happiest day of my life. But my fiancé decided he had somewhere better to be”.

“I know the fabric of love is fragile and yet I never saw the stitches break”.
When Sandie’s dream man, Garrie, abandons her to move in with Emily across the road, she is heartbroken.
But watching Garrie walk past her house every day, she knows that something isn’t right. Garrie disappears for days, and Emily is far too perfect.
Suspecting they’re both hiding a secret that brought them together, Sandie is determined to find out what lies in their past and what’s going on behind the front door of number 12.
When she discovers a hidden child’s room and an abandoned toybox, she starts to unravel their secret and is horrified to discover it also involves her.
“I don’t know what frightens me the most; the living or the dead”.

“I keep moving, blindly, because I know one thing. When I finally stop running, wherever I am will be better than where I’ve been’.
EVEN THE MOST PERFECT LOVE CAN BE DEADLY.

AND BETRAYAL ALWAYS COMES AT A PRICE.

THE CERBERUS AFFAIR
​Charlotte Valentine

​My debut novel is a contemporary thriller which introduces Catherine Preston, an ex-investigative journalist, who will feature in future novels. 
In The Cerberus Affair, she returns to London and her career following the sudden death of her close friend, a UK junior health minister tipped for Cabinet promotion. His wife believes he was murdered, but officialdom determines he died of natural causes. Suspecting dark forces are at work, Catherine investigates. She finds herself drawn in to a sinister web of government corruption and corporate conspiracy, and into the controversial world of cutting-edge genetics research. 
Can she discover who, or what, lies behind the mysterious Cerberus? How far will she go to protect both a game-changing scientific breakthrough and the life of the man she loves?
