Hiding Rose by Rebecca King

Having witnessed another of his colleagues marry, Barnaby Stephenson is left to ponder the wisdom of his own choices in life. The last thing he needs is to have to babysit the Star Elite’s primary witness of the murders of two of London’s most hardened criminals. Tasked with hiding Rosemary ‘Rose’ Higginbotham, Barnaby quickly realises that this seemingly delicate flower has a hidden side to her, especially when their lives are threatened. When they find themselves hunted, their fight to keep Rose free of Sayers’ clutches takes them from the south of the country to the north.

With each move, Barnaby finds himself losing another piece of his heart. This time, though, not even the safe houses and the support of his colleagues from the Star Elite can keep them safe. When they are cornered, Barnaby and Rose find themselves fighting for more than their lives. They battle for a future together. Left with no alternative but to put into action the Star Elite’s most audacious plan yet, Barnaby’s determination to keep Rose hidden may well lead him to capture not only London’s most notorious criminal mastermind but his very own bride.
