His Voice
One voice can be a muse. It can also be a cage.
In His Voice, Sophie Penhaligon explores the terrifying thin line where passion and peril intertwine. Emily Chen thought she found the ultimate inspiration in Dr. Alex McDonald’s “honey-rough” Scottish lilt. She didn’t realize that by letting his voice in, she was letting the world out.
A masterpiece of psychological suspense that proves some secrets are better left unheard.

Sophie Penhaligon
8 novels about finding love. 1 novel about finding out who’s listening in the dark.
Sophie Penhaligon has always been fascinated by the complexities of the human heart—whether she’s exploring the sun-drenched shores of a budding romance or the chilling shadows of a psychological obsession.
After publishing eight novels about finding love, Sophie realized that her characters were beginning to whisper darker secrets. Her transition into psychological suspense wasn’t a departure, but an evolution—a chance to look more closely at what happens when the “perfect” connection turns into a “perfect” trap.
Now, Sophie splits her time between writing the sweet, sexy romances her readers adore and crafting atmospheric, slow-burn suspense like her latest release, His Voice. Whether she’s writing about a first kiss on the coast or a terrifying intimacy in the dark streets of Edinburgh, Sophie’s goal remains the same: to tell stories that stay with you long after the final page is turned.
When she isn’t at her typewriter—or listening for the “honey-rough” lilt of her next antagonist—Sophie can be found walking the beach with her dog.
