A Scottish Island
When Tracey and her husband Rob travel to a remote island off Scotland's west coast to view it as a possible new home, it feels like the beginning of a dream. Blackwater Island has everything they have ever wanted: a lighthouse, a cosy cottage, breathtaking cliffs and complete escape from the pressures of everyday life.
But from the moment Tracey first sets foot on the island, she is haunted by an unsettling feeling.
The lighthouse seems familiar. The paths feel known.
And places she has never visited awaken memories she cannot explain. As Tracey settles into island life, she begins to uncover fragments of a forgotten past.
A faded photograph. An old guest book. Hidden letters.
A name that refuses to be forgotten.
At the same time, twenty years earlier, a young woman arrives on Blackwater Island for what is supposed to be a short holiday. What begins as a carefree week in paradise slowly turns into something far more complicated, as hidden secrets and unanswered questions begin to emerge. Separated by two decades, the lives of two women become intertwined in ways neither could ever have imagined.
Set against the dramatic beauty of Scotland's rugged coastline,
A Scottish Island is a gripping psychological mystery about love, identity and the secrets that refuse to stay buried.
Because some places never let you go.
A Scottish Secret
Some places never let you go.
Emily thought Blackwater Island had finally given up its secrets.
Together with her husband Rob, she has begun to build a new life on the remote Scottish island. With Daniel's unexpected return, the past no longer seems quite so frightening, and for the first time, the future feels full of hope.
But as Emily and Daniel continue to uncover the hidden history of Blackwater Island, they discover that the island has claimed more than memories. Forgotten photographs, mysterious keepsakes and decades-old clues reveal a disturbing pattern surrounding a series of women who disappeared without explanation.
With every answer comes another question.
And some secrets refuse to stay buried.
A Scottish Secret is the gripping second novel in the Blackwater Island series—a psychological mystery of lost identities, hidden truths and the secrets that survive long after people disappear.

Now, the truth is finally beginning to surface.
When a visitor from the past arrives unexpectedly on the island, Emily, Rob and Daniel realise that the story they thought they understood is far from over. There are still questions that have never been answered. Names hidden in old letters. Women whose stories were never told. And memories that someone has carried in silence for more than two decades.
As the past slowly unfolds, they begin to discover what really happened on Blackwater Island all those years ago — and the truth about the man at the centre of it all.
But some secrets are harder to uncover than others.
And some shadows never truly disappear.
A Scottish Shadow is the third novel in the Blackwater Island Mysteries series, a story of hidden truths, lost lives, love, guilt and the lasting consequences of the past.
