"The Chilterns are at their best in May and The Old Forge Cafe is flourishing, which makes Charlie think about furniture that lives up to the standards her menu sets. Which is what persuades her to take on a job for a wealthy local businessman who suspects his daughter has fallen for a man who is not only a gold-digger but also a murderer.
To Charlie's surprise, she knows him - he's the Maitre d' at the Michelin-starred restaurant at the other end of the village. Does his charm conceal a killer?"
"Repulsion is the surest test of magnetism...
The rivalry between Dr Erin Monaghan and Dr Ethan Meyer is legendary in their prestigious physics lab. Each at the forefront of their opposing fields, they compete for everything: grant money, research time, government backing - and use of the office coffee machine.
But it's a basic law of nature that opposites attract, and sparks fly after a science fiction magazine pairs their work and they meet online as their creative alter egos.
Back at the lab, and forced to collaborate on a high-profile government contract, Erin and Ethan's sizzling virtual chemistry spills over into real life, threatening the project's success.
With their careers and hearts on the line, can the law of attraction finally win out?"
"Charlie Hunter does not like Christmas, especially the lead into it -- cooking endless servings of Christmas dinner. So when she is asked by Graeme Strickland, Michelin-starred chef, egomaniac and friend, to help out in a hotel restaurant in Edinburgh’s New Town, for a fortnight, she accepts with alacrity. The Head Chef, David Jenkins, is a very old friend of Strickland’s, and the job entails covering temporarily for a sous chef position, while Strickland provides cover for Charlie, gratis, in the Old Forge Café.
She is scheduled to be there for a fortnight. But Charlie arrives in Edinburgh just in time to discover David Jenkins being stretchered out. An autopsy reveals the Chef has been poisoned with mushrooms. Was it an accident or a murder attempt? It looks like Charlie may be doing a rather different job…"
"He’s the rugged brother of my boss.
A grumpy rancher who cares more for horses than people.
Not this city girl’s cup of tea. At all.
After my twin sister’s betrayal, I started fresh in America working on a dude ranch in the middle of nowhere. The last thing I need is a cantankerous rancher with an attitude looking at me with disapproval in his eyes.
My chattiness and optimism clearly irritate him, so I take the high road and choose to ignore him.
But when Soren Moon offers to rent me a room in his house, I can’t refuse. A broke English girl doesn’t have that many options in Bluefern, Montana. Even though that leaves me alone with him way too often.
When my past comes knocking on my door, everything I’ve worked to rebuild comes crashing down around me. Strangely enough, it’s Soren who offers to help. Even stranger? It’s him I turn to, and the sparks between us are impossible to ignore.
Will Finley’s past destroy her newfound peace, or can Soren’s unexpected support save her heart?
From USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson comes a grumpy/sunshine romance about a rancher and a city girl with a tragic past.

"While her starfaring people are being hunted by an implacable enemy, a young caver discovers a traitor in their ranks and must undertake a transformative journey across the galaxy to save everything she has ever known.
Persecuted for their worship of the Endless—an ancient, galactic-spanning race of god-like power, who disappeared long ago—the Pilgrims escaped the world of Raia almost a century ago, fleeing the despotic rule of the United Empire in a dozen space-faring fleets. The Pilgrims of the Horizon of Light fleet have spent two long years being hunted by an especially determined Empire foe. Now though, it appears they've finally caught a break, laying low on a non-descript comet that's hurtling into deep space.
Young Pilgrim Sewa Eze wants to become a caver—and head into the depths on deserted moons, asteroids, and worlds to secure whatever the fleet needs: precious resources, Endless relics, even Dust. However, a strange device is discovered deep in the ice of the comet they shelter on—suggesting dark forces are afoot—and Sewa is instead selected for a leadership role at the Ceremony of Duties and must reassess her life, beginning with finding the traitor in their ranks who threatens her entire fleet's existence.
The course of Sewa's life changes forever as she is forced to confront treachery, discover the secrets of the ancient past and travel to the very heart of the tyrannical United Empire."

"First published in 1872, Poor Miss Finch tells the story of Lucilla Finch, a young woman who is blind due to an accident. Lucilla lives with her devoted companion, Madame Pratolungo, and fiancé, Oscar Dubourg. However, experimental surgery offers Lucilla the possibility of regaining her sight. Over time a love triangle emerges between Lucilla, Oscar and Oscar’s identical twin, Nugent.
Poor Miss Finch is particularly compelling because of Collins’s exploration of themes such as identity, perception and the consequences of societal expectations. The novel delves into the complexities of human relationships, shedding light on the limitations of superficial appearances. It masterfully weaves together mystery, romance and social commentary."
"Lewis Romayne returns to the family home, Vange Abbey, after a fatal duel in France – the memory of which still haunts him. In an attempt to put the experience behind him, he visits London where he meets Stella Eynecourt, who will become his wife. However, Romayne also comes across the cunning Father Benwell, who is determined to convert him to Catholicism and to regain Vange Abbey for the Church. Father Benwell stops at nothing to achieve his end, including the revelation of a dark secret from the past. His scheming and malevolence recalls the better-known villain Count Fosco, from Collins’s The Woman in White. Published in 1881, The Black Robe is one of Collins’s later novels and is here presented in a multi-voice production featuring a host of popular audiobook actors."
"Twenty years ago, someone stole my sister.
They say Leonie got into a man’s car. She was never seen again. It was the day before her fifteenth birthday.
But what if she was never taken? What if the truth is right here, all along, in the house where we grew up? The house I’ve come back to, trying to piece the past together.
A notification flashes on my phone. Photos on social media. I stare, chilled, at old pictures of my childhood home. Our front door, the gardens outside the window where I sit now. They’re tagged: #leonieshouse.
A shiver of unease runs down my spine.
Who knows?
What do they know?
I keep saying that I don’t remember.
But I do.
This utterly gripping psychological suspense with a twist that will take your breath away is perfect for fans of Dandy Smith, C.R. Howell, Claire McGowan, K.L. Slater, C.L. Taylor, and Claire Douglas."
