Not Theirs To Take

Some secrets are best left buried.

Empty nester Sally Tate lives her life for everyone else. Things need to change.

 

After decades of working in a Michelin starred restaurant, promised then denied an equity stake, Sally is incandescent with rage. 

 

She didn’t plan to create a scandal. To embarrass her boss in front of a restaurant packed with diners paying exorbitant prices for a menu that would barely fill the belly of a toddler. 

 

But he pushed her buttons once too often that day… And well… It’s done now! No point crying over spilt milk…

 

Returning home to an empty apartment, she hits the bottle. After a furious row with her husband, Sally resolves it’s time to put her own needs first, and follow her dream to open a restaurant on the picturesque Cornish coast. With her husband stubbornly refusing to join her, for reasons she can’t fathom, Sally leaves London without him.

 

Alone in a creepy, dilapidated boathouse, strange things happen.

 

Haunted by her past, with unfriendly locals closing ranks around her, and with the fine line between what’s real and imagined blurred, Sally’s new life is a waking nightmare.

 

Compelled to unlock the dark secrets of the nearby town, Sally investigates and rapidly finds herself entangled in a mysterious conspiracy of kidnap, rape and murder.

 

Can Sally solve the mystery before she too becomes a victim? Will she achieve her dream? Will she save her marriage?

Jenny's sister is missing. And so is her secret.

Jenny Payne lives in the shadow of her sisters. 

After years of caring for her chronically ill mother, having put her own life on hold, Jenny feels invisible. 

Late one night after a long shift at work, angry after an altercation with their boss, Jenny and her younger sister are involved in a hit-and-run.

When Jenny comes to, her sister has mysteriously disappeared, and she has a vague recollection of a whispered secret. From her hospital bed, she pieces together her sister’s secret life and wonders if the hit-and-run was an accident, or a deliberate act? 

Returning home to her overbearing mother, unsure whether her younger sister is still alive, Jenny succumbs to debilitating depression.

Weeks later, after another family tragedy, Jenny’s older sister returns – like the ‘prodigal daughter’ – and plans to find their missing sister without Jenny’s help. 

Having lost her job, ostracised and alone, with her older sister searching for their missing sister, Jenny retreats within herself. When their landlord’s wife shows a sudden unhealthy interest in the family, Jenny suspects some wider conspiracy. 

 

Will her missing sister be found alive? Will her secrets be revealed? Is her older sister here to stay? Will Jenny ever be free to live the life she craves?
