Maybe Too Late

"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Maybe Too Late is a slow-burn, emotionally rich romance about love that arrives when the heart is no longer sure it can risk breaking again. Juliana fell for a man who never truly let her in. He desired her, needed her, but never chose her. In the silence between promises never made and mornings spent waiting alone, she lost herself trying to belong in someone else's life. Now, with her heart in pieces, she's finally learning to choose the one person who's always been left behind—herself. Vittorio buried his heart the day he lost his wife. He built walls made of grief and guilt, convincing himself that loving again would betray the woman he once vowed to never forget. Then came Juliana—with her fierce honesty and a gentleness he hadn't known he needed. She brought light back into his home, into his soul. But admitting he loves her might mean breaking the one promise he swore to keep. For readers who crave stories about deep emotional healing, impossible choices, and the power of love when it's almost too late, Maybe Too Late delivers a heartfelt journey of passion, pain, and the hope that second chances still exist—even when the timing is all wrong."

Not only that, his muse, Isabella, has inexplicably withdrawn from all performing. During a chance meeting, Orson discovers the extraordinary musical talent of Vira, now passing as Sevastyan, and it gives him the jolt of inspiration he needs. Hoping that Isabella will be as intrigued as he is, Orson sends “Sevastyan” as his emissary to persuade Isabella to sing in his opera. Vira’s deception incites a hilarious myriad of misconceptions, resulting in a tangled love quadrangle which becomes even more convoluted when the real Sevastyan comes looking for his sister."

Graffiti Girls

"A sharp, empowering novel about a group of women who refuse to go quietly when society tells them they’re no longer valuable beyond the age of 40, from the author of Ginger and Me. 'A rebellious and uplifting tale of punkish, middle-aged, feminist defiance' Lucy Ribchester 'A delicious tale of female rebellion and a glorious tribute to female friendship. Warm, funny, and uplifting' Caron McKinlay ★★★ Amy, Carole, Lenore and Susan have been best friends since school. Back then they couldn’t wait for the future, for the amazing lives they’d have. But things haven’t worked out how they expected. Now in their forties, they’re fed up with being taken for granted by their families, being passed over for promotions at work and being told that they’re past their best. And they’re not going to go quietly anymore. Fuelled by female rage and their charismatic leader Amy, the four embark on a campaign of graffiti in their hometown of Hamilton, scrawling feminist slogans on the walls of local buildings. But is Hamilton ready for the feminist revolution the Graffiti Girls have in store? ★★★ Praise for Graffiti Girls: 'Graffiti Girls is a sharply observed and thought-provoking cri de coeur about everyday sexism.
