‘Yes, let’s hope not.’ Jack studied his fingers. ‘Rose, would you let me take you out to celebrate? Just dinner. No strings attached.’
‘Thank you, I’d like that.’ She took in his handsome face, his large, well-formed body and his strong hands, recalling how they had felt on her own body, and was sad that, although for her it was over, Jack still wished it was otherwise. But they would probably end up killing each other if they lived under the same roof. ‘Jack?’
‘What is it?’ He smiled kindly at the look of concern on her face.
‘Thank you for being my friend.’
‘I’ll always be that, Rose. Always.’
She nodded. ‘I know. And me yours.’ There were a few beats of thoughtful silence before Rose looked up, excitement in her eyes. ‘Anyway, did I tell you what Geoff said?’
Jack groaned and put his head in his hands. Without meeting Rose’s eyes he asked, ‘And who the hell is Geoff?’
Rose grinned. She wasn’t quite ready to answer that yet, but she had had the impression that he had winked as well as smiled when he had paused at her kitchen door.

KILLED IN CORNWALL
DI Jack Pearce is investigating a series of burglaries and brutal attacks on young women which have broken out in Cornwall. Once again his on-off girlfriend Rose Trevelyan finds herself at the heart of the investigation.
With her intimate knowledge of the private lives of those connected to the case, Rose must work hard not to jump to conclusions about the innocence of those she knows. As the crimes become more serious, both newcomers to the area and familiar faces become suspects. But who should Rose – and Jack – believe?
CAUGHT OUT IN CORNWALL
When Rose Trevelyan sees a young girl being carried away by someone who appears to be her father, she thinks nothing of it. Until, that is, the appearance of a frantic mother who cannot find her child. Beth Jones is only four years old, and her mother is adamant that the man Rose saw taking her away must be a stranger.
Wracked with guilt for not intervening, Rose once again finds herself entangled in a criminal investigation. As time passes, it becomes clear that the chances of getting Beth back unharmed are very bleak indeed …
