To plant a garden is to believe in the future, that's what Dove Hallam's grandmother always told her. But at twenty-two, Dove has neither. Stuck in a dead-end relationship and a job she hates, her life is going nowhere until she meets Marlene Grande. Although Marlene is in her seventies, her appetite for hot men and spending money knows no bounds, even if her matchmaking skills leave a bit to be desired. But as Dove embraces her new life, someone isn't so keen on her having fun. Marlene's solution? Hire a private investigator with a nice ass. Now Dove has two problems to deal with-the monster wreaking havoc on the Arndale estate and Zander Graves, a smart-mouthed womaniser she really doesn't want to like. Will there be anything left of her heart by the time they've finished with it? Shallow Graves is a standalone romantic suspense novel in the Blackwood UK series - no cliffhanger!
