Troy Nanson, a bicycle messenger, awakens in a hospital with no memory of how she got there or how long she lay unconscious. When her calls for help go unanswered, Troy dials 911, but no one answers. As Troy explores a silent city, her suspicions are confirmed - the rest of the world has fallen asleep, and nothing she does will wake them. Fear and desperation cause Troy's tenuous grip on reality to slip. She's ready to give up, until then she finds Emma.

Believing they are the only people awake in the entire world, two women who are as different from each other as they could possibly be, come to depend on one another for safety and sanity—and eventually, much more.

Emma Webster is the victim of a brutal assault. Because of the resulting terror, she spends two years as a self-sentenced prisoner locked inside her condo, living a lonely but safe existence—at least she thought it was safe until the world outside her window goes silent.

Troy Nanson, a bicycle messenger, awakens in a hospital with an excruciating headache, but she has no memory of how she was injured or how long she has been there. When her calls for help go unanswered, Troy leaves her bed to search for hospital staff members, only to find them unconscious in the hospital lounge. They have pulses and are breathing, but she cannot rouse them. Are they comatose, drugged? In a trance-induced sleep? She calls 911, but no one answers. As she explores downtown Portland, Oregon, Troy’s suspicions are confirmed—the rest of the world has fallen asleep, and nothing she does will wake them. Fear and desperation cause Troy’s tenuous grip on reality to slip. She’s ready to give up, but then she finds Emma.

Believing they are the only people awake in the entire world, these two women who are as different from each other as they could possibly be, come to depend on one another to find their way through the insanity that surrounds them. Their initial need for simple companionship turns into an attraction that they are just beginning to explore when Troy stumbles across evidence that results in some startling realizations.

There are at least two other people still awake in Portland, but one of them is a murderer. Can Troy and Emma find a way to outsmart the killer, or will they, too, become those who NEVER WAKE?

Amidst the backdrop of a nineteenth century English country estate, two women struggle to find love--and the truth that could either bind them together or tear them apart.

When Brontë agreed to marry John Baptiste, she did not have any of the idealism of most new brides. Theirs was a marriage of convenience. Lord John Baptiste needed an heir, and Brontë’s family needed a quick answer to their financial woes. Unfortunately, the marriage was not the answer to the problems that they had hoped for. Instead, it becomes the catalyst for a chain of events that could prove nearly fatal. The day following the wedding, Lord John is almost killed by a gunman, leaving Brontë to run Markby Estate on her own.

Almost immediately, Brontë realizes there are many strange happenings at Markby Estate, the least of which are the actions of its servants. Addison Le Claire is the enigmatic and volatile caretaker’s daughter. Through a series of incidents and deductions on Brontë’s part, she is able to coerce Addison's secrets from her. In a startling admission, Brontë learns that not only is Addison illiterate, but she has been single handedly running Markby Estate since her father’s death months before. Addison discloses to Brontë that she has stayed at Markby because she wants to make extra money for a trip to Paris to study art. In truth, she is looking for clues to her mother’s disappearance 22 years before. Clues, Addison is positive, she will find behind the walls of Markby Estate.

The Caretaker’s Daughter delves into the budding relationship of two women born into different backgrounds. As the story progresses, Addison and Brontë explore the bright possibilities of love and the dark truths of greed. In the end, the lies of the past are uncovered and serve to break the chains for future happiness.
