The Man In The Microwave Oven

Fleeing from a murder and family tragedy in her native England, where she was the scandal du jour for the tabloid press, Theo Boart has built an undercover life in a close-knit San Francisco neighborhood. She didn’t expect to find love and friendship there and now she doesn’t know how—or if—to reveal the truth.

When the woman who threatens to expose her is murdered, Theo is plunged into the kind of jeopardy she crossed an ocean to escape. Worse yet, dangerous family secrets have followed her. Theo’s grandfather brings an even bigger breed of trouble to Theo’s doorstep by lifting a veil on the shadowy world he once inhabited as an agent for the British Secret Service, and her best friend discovers evidence of a grisly crime in the local coffee shop.


The Man on the Washing Machine

Former party girl and society photographer Theophania Bogart flees from London to San Francisco to escape a high-profile family tragedy. But sudden death shines a light on her hiding place. Her apartment is burgled, she starts to fall for an untrustworthy stranger, and she’s knocked out, tied up and imprisoned. The police are sure she’s lying. The smugglers are sure she knows too much. Her friends? They aren’t sure what to believe.
