New Website
Hang on tight—for what could be a bit of a wild ride. My website is set for a glow up when I migrate to a new platform. I’m hoping the transition will be smooth, but if not, it will be up and running as soon as possible. My URL www.annetteleigh.com will remain the same.
New Covers
I’ve received the covers for my two novellas coming out soon. The Raging Fire is the prequel to my two novels in the Bayswater Series—so, if you’ve ever wondered how Andie and Mac met, this one is for you. The digital version will be available free for my newsletter subscribers.
A Valentine’s Wish is the last novella in the Three Wishes series and is set in Venice during the excitement of Carnivale. It’s about second chances, and discovering that the worst moments in life can sometimes lead to the best.
THE RAGING FIRE
The case was closed. But she won’t back down.
Detective Andie Yates is no stranger to tough calls—but when her supervisor shuts down the investigation into a string of cold case murders in St Kilda, she can’t let it go. Even if it means going against orders. Even if it means losing her job.
Transferred, side-lined and under pressure from her partner to quit the force, Andie takes matters into her own hands. Teaming up with private investigator, Mac Turner and an old friend-turned-journalist, she launches a true crime podcast to reignite interest in the case—and unearths new evidence.
But someone is watching. Someone who wants the past to stay buried.
With her career in tatters and her life on the line, Andie must decide— how far is she willing to go for justice?
A VALENTINE’S WISH
When Stephie Leyton’s partner vanishes—along with her savings—she’s left drowning in debt and scrambling to save her dream B&B. Forced to return to work, her new boss offers her a position leading a team to turn his family palazzo in Venice into short stay accommodation.
But excitement turns to frustration when she clashes with Marco Barbarini, her boss’s brother, who has other intentions for the palazzo. As mysterious setbacks threaten the project, Stephie must prove herself—or risk losing everything.
With Venice and Carnivale as her battleground, can she outmanoeuvre those working against her, protect her reputation, and build a new future for herself? As Valentine’s Day approaches, will her growing attraction to Marco lead to the fresh start she craves—or a mistake from which her heart won’t recover?
