Book-by-book snapshot

• Sweetpea — Meet Rhiannon Lewis: the seemingly normal girl-next-door whose day job is dull and whose nights hide a chilling secret. Sweetpea introduces the series’ tone — witty, unnerving, and impossible to put down.
• Dead Head — Rhiannon tries to start over on a cruise ship, but life on the high seas with noisy families and the Gammonati complicates her attempts at a fresh start. The tension between new beginnings and old instincts fuels this sequel.
• In Bloom — Returning to ramp up the stakes, Rhiannon is “killing for two” and juggling the consequences of her violent past with unexpected new responsibilities.
• The Bad Seeds — Sweetpea comes home, newly married and facing fresh crises: a husband shot and a daughter in desperate need. This entry heightens emotional stakes and moral ambiguity.
• Thorn In My Side — After the pandemic forces Rhiannon into a quieter life, she finds belonging and love with Rafael’s family — but peace proves fragile when secrets and impulses threaten everything.
