The Calculated Risk #4
The Heart of The Actuary
His job is to neutralise risk. Hers is to turn a blind eye. But the stakes are too high this time. She needs to get to this risk first. And hide it. After a terrible few months and the collapse of her world, Emma Andreyev is trying.
She's trying to reinvent herself, trying to recover, trying to pretend she isn't devastated. Yet when an acquaintance sends a plea for help, she can't ignore him. He's calling in a debt and she needs to pay. But it's messy, complex, and requires secrecy and deceit, the two things which ruined her marriage to Rohan the first time. When the Actuary accepts a government contract to capture a hacker, he has no idea his competition this time is his wife.

K.T. Bowes
39 books65 followersMarried and bringing up four children during her twenties and thirties, K T Bowes reserved her storytelling for them.
She emigrated to New Zealand in 2006 with her family on a one way ticket. They arrived with just one suitcase each. The international bestselling Hana Du Rose Mysteries began shortly afterwards, hammered out on an old laptop used for Skyping family back home.
Since then, she has published more than twenty five books ranging from women's literature through teen series, to a fantasy trilogy.

After two significant falls, she gave up horse riding but often has a guest horse or two in the paddock. She lives above the city of Hamilton, close to the Waikato River and the Hakarimata Ranges. Many of her novels are based in New Zealand, but some transport the reader back to England and the Midlands where she grew up.

Loved this series…
I’ve never read anything by Ms. Bowes before. The first book was free but the characters and the settings were so well written and organized that I bought the other 3 books in the series so I could finish it. Talk about twists and turns. She went into details about old manors and schools and whatever went into the restoration of them plus the intense plot of the story, I just couldn’t put them down. I’ll be looking for more books by this author. Even though my preference is paranormal, she’s an author I’ve put on my lists of those I enjoy reading.
