The guiltiest people aren't always the ones behind bars… As a new nurse practitioner at a maximum-security prison, Brooke Sullivan is taught three crucial rules: Treat all prisoners with respect. Never reveal any personal information. Never EVER become too friendly with the inmates. But nobody knows that Brooke has already broken the rules. Nobody knows about her intimate connection to Shane Nelson, one of the penitentiary's most notorious & dangerous inmates.

The delightful tale of a young couple who in the late 1970s, on impulse, became the new landlords of the most remote, bleak & lonely pub
- The Tan Hill Inn
- located in the bleak landscape of the Yorkshire Dales. Having seen an article in the newspaper about the pub's search for a new manager, they arrived just three weeks later as the new landlords of the The Tan Hill Inn. It is a wild, wind-swept place, set alone in a sea of peat bog & heather moorland that stretches unbroken as far as the eye can see. With only sheep & grouse for company, their closest neighbour was four miles away & the nearest town twelve. They had no experience of licensed trade or running a pub, no knowledge of farming & a complete inability to understand the dialect of the sheep farmers who were their local customers. Eager, well-meaning, but in over their heads, our two heroes embarked on a disaster-strewn career that somehow also turned into a lifelong love affair with the Dales. The Inn at the Top is an entertaining ramble around the Inn, the breath-taking Dales countryside & a remarkable array of local characters, giving an insight into life in a very different different time & place.
