Even a Diamond can be shattered...

After the owner of a security company is murdered, his sharp-edged wife goes on the run. Forced to abandon everything she holds dear-her home, her friends, her job in special ops-she builds a new life for herself in England. As Ashlyn Hale, she meets Luke, a handsome local who makes her realise just how lonely she is.

Yet, even in the sleepy village of Lower Foxford, the dark side of life dogs Diamond's trail when the unthinkable strikes. Forced out of hiding, she races against time to save those she cares about. But is it too little, too late?

Pitch Black is a romantic thriller with a morally grey heroine and plenty of dark humour. Please be aware that while one mystery is resolved in this novel, Diamond's story continues in books two and three of the Blackwood Security series.
