Life is falling into place for National Park Ranger Erin Taylor. She has a job she loves, she's falling for her colleague, Simon - and is finally leaving her past behind. Until a woman is murdered. A part-time commando in the Army reserve, it is Simon who finds the body, on his return from a deployment. It's in his house and the victim is not just any woman - she's Simon's wife, Hayley. The wife he's not mentioned to Erin. The wife he's not seen in fourteen years. In search of the truth about Hayley, Simon and Erin go out to the edge of the Park to visit the alternative-lifestyle 'Community of Bliss'. The members claim to know nothing of Hayley but when Simon puts them under surveillance, he learns they're not telling him everything. Erin is determined to find out what is going on but the only way to gain the trust of the community is to use the skills from her old life - deception, lying and cheating. She soon uncovers a dark web of lies, some decades old - and finds that the clever, manipulative leader is preparing his followers for their final step. Award-winning, romantic suspense author Brownyn Parry's STORM CLOUDS will have you reading late into the night, because the leader of this isolated community is clever enough to know that Erin will ruin his plans - if she is allowed... PRAISE for Bronwyn Parry's novels: 'There is a strong romantic plotline even while the suspense is so well maintained the novels [AS DARKNESS FALLS and DARK COUNTRY] qualify as rattlingly good crime reads.' The Australian 'Bronwyn Parry proves once again that crime is not just the provenance of cityscapes in her genuinely chilling third romantic suspense novel [DEAD HEAT]. Fans of Parry's previous novels will notice a darker tone ... a willingness on Parry's part to push deeper into the crime aspect and the most sinister side of humanity. New readers should enjoy the extra layer of suspense that the growing emotional connection between the main characters provides ... A plot so successfully suspenseful that I stopped reading it before bed!' Australian Bookseller & Publisher, 4 Stars
