The dark side of love is no fairy tale.... And while we may like to believe that crimes of the heart only victimize those who aren't careful, this page-turning collection of must-read accounts will convince you otherwise. America's #1 true-crime writer, Ann Rule reveals how lovers become predators, how sex and lust can push ordinary people to desperate acts, and how investigators and forensics experts work to unravel the most entangled crimes of passion. Extracting behind-the-scenes details, Rule makes these volatile relationships utterly real, and masterfully re-creates the ill-fated chains of events in such cases as the ex-Marine and martial arts master who seduced vulnerable women and then destroyed their lives...the killer whose calling card was a single bloodred rose...the faithless wife who manipulated and murdered without conscience...the blind date that set the stage for a killer's brutality...and more. In every case, the victim -- young and innocent or older and experienced -- unknowingly trusted a stranger with the sociopathic skill to hide their dark motives, until it was too late to escape a web of deadly lies, fatal promises, and homicidal possession.

Secrets don’t stay secret… Carrie Overton’s personal miracle came on the side of a deserted country road sixteen years ago. On her way to her new life, she helped a young woman deliver to a baby boy.

But the dead don’t stay buried… Sixteen years later, the secret Carrie has kept all this time returns to haunt her. The teenagers of Shadow Falls are being preyed upon, taken one by one, and she can’t help but believe it’s all tangled up with her son’s birth mother and her tragic, violent end. You should never trust a stranger… There’s a handsome stranger in town who’s getting too close and asking too many questions. Carrie doesn’t trust him, sensing that he’s keeping secrets of his own. Secrets she’s going to have to uncover if she wants to protect the life she has built and keep her son safe from a killer. From a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling, RITA® Award-winning author

I practise my shock-horror face in the mirror for the seventh time. 'My husband, he's . . . dead.' Bethan Phillips has only one thing on her mind: killing her rich and elderly husband for his fortune. But after several thwarted attempts, it is a horrific accident while holidaying together in Snowdonia that takes Humphrey down. Now she must pretend he's alive, continuing social gatherings alone under the guise he is undertaking business abroad. Because someone witnessed her leaving Humphrey to die, and should the police investigate his death they'll discover the series of 'accidents' he's survived in the previous few days... and it won't take them long to connect the dots.
