Blurb for Song of the Prairie by Vickie McDonough:

Janie Dunn’s dream of being an opera singer suddenly fades when, at her dying cousin’s request, she flees Boston with her cousin’s newborn son to protect him from his abusive father. She moves to Kansas to live with her brother, but life takes another dire change when he is suddenly killed. Is a marriage of convenience the answer to her problems? Is Kansas far enough away from Boston that they are safe from the baby’s vengeful father?

Murder in Time cover (new)Bio for Veronica Heley:

Blurb for MURDER IN TIME, pub Severn House  May 2014 UK,  August 2014, USA

Ellie opens the door to a man who is a stranger but instantly recognisable as the father of her housekeeper’s brilliant but difficult young son. Mikey was conceived at a party during which his schoolgirl mother, Vera, was drugged and raped – and a man died. Abdi, Mikey’s father, hadn’t wanted anything to do with her – then. Twelve years later, rich and powerful Abdi still lacks a legitimate heir, so he plans to pay off Vera and adopt Mikey; a suggestion that does not go down well. But Abdi’s methods of persuasion don’t stop with money, and Vera is soon faced with a stark choice – hand over her son or face the destruction of everything she holds dear. Ellie is determined to protect Vera and Mikey, is sure the answer lies in the past – but there are many people who were involved on the night of the murder who will go to any lengths not to answer questions about it.
