Ready or not. The truth will come
Keller Baye and Rebecca Brown live on different sides of the Atlantic. Until she falls in love with him, Rebecca knows nothing of Keller. But he’s known about her for a very long time, and now he wants to destroy her.
This is the story of two families. One living under the threat of execution in North Carolina. The other caught up in a dark mystery in the Scottish Highlands. The families’ paths are destined to cross. But why? And can anything save them when that happens?
Grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go until the very last page

Review
As I sit down to write this review, I can still feel the darkness and creepiness of the book. That's how much I was affected and immersed into the story. An author is very good if she could get me so absorbed I can still feel things long after I closed the book. As to the story, I got confused by the different timelines in the beginning, but I soldiered on and once I caught on to the storyline, it became really hard to put down. So, if you've felt like giving up like me, don't. You won't regret it.Rebecca Brown has long wondered about her parent's death. A toddler at that time, she had no recollection of that fateful day nor was anyone willing to fill her in. But now that she's older, she started doing her own research, and what she found out seemed totally different from the little that she had initially known. Enter Keller Baye, a man determined to meet Rebecca. But he has an agenda of his own, something that will make this story even chillier than it already is.
I love the setting of the book and the writing style. It added to the mysterious element. There is definite substance in the story, as every significant part of Rebecca's and Keller's lives were told in detail. I could even see this possibly being made into a movie, and if it were, I'm definitely going to be first in line. Highly recommended.
Rating: 5 stars
Fun Facts
I once fell asleep in a swimming pool. Me and my partner ran away to France to run a business and we built a swimming pool. The evening it was ready to fill, we had been out dining with neighbours and perhaps we had a little too much Cabernet, but we walked down the Roman steps into the swimming pool. The water was just at the deep end for the first few hours. So we lay in the shallow end, chatting, looking at the stars (which are fabulous in Gascony) and inevitably since we worked our socks off all day every day, we fell asleep. At dawn, we felt the water lapping at our toes, and there was a little salamander within arm’s length staring at me, as if to say. ‘Hey, Jen, wakey wakey’ or the French equivalent.I have three nipples. Back in the day, the medieval day, this was quite dangerous. I wouldn’t have been admitting it as a fun fact back then, since it would attract the label, ‘Witch!’ It is just tiny, this third nipple and although I breastfed my baby, I did this just with the regular two. So who knows the capability of this witch-like feature. My brother also has a third nipple. And his makes much more of a public appearance than mine ever does. His is also very small. Our thirdies resemble little birthmarks. Neither of us has ever felt remotely self conscious about this, probably because no-one has actually known, other than our spouses and perhaps our parents (though they have doubtless forgotten). Of course, now you know. I probably won’t mention this confession to my brother.
I like to include all kinds of real facts in my books. I tell my friends or family when I have included them and this brings lots of laughter. I do this because I can. I do it because it is such a pleasure to bump into real life as I travel through the edits. In ‘Hiding’ there is a ton of reality. My mother used to hold my chocolate face up to the mirror. I burned the best playing cards. I had a Duckham’s Oil sticker on my trike. So much about Ralph and Youngest! Even those panda eyes… No need to write a memoir, it’s all there in my book career.
About Jenny Morton Potts
Jenny is a novelist, screenplay writer and playwright. After a series of 'proper jobs', she realised she was living someone else's life and escaped to Gascony to make gîtes. Knee deep in cement and pregnant, Jenny was happy. Then autism and a distracted spine surgeon wiped out the order. Returned to wonderful England, to write her socks off.
Jenny would like to see the Northern Lights but worries that’s the best bit and should be saved till last. Very happily, and gratefully, settled with family.
She tries not to take herself too seriously.
