The Other Bennet Sister - Janice Hadlow Cover Art

The Other Bennet Sister

The Other Bennet Sister by Janice Hadlow

It is a sad fact of life that if a young woman is unlucky enough to come into the world without expectations, she had better do all she can to ensure she is born beautiful. To be handsome and poor is misfortune enough; but to be both plain and penniless is a hard fate indeed. In Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice , Mary is the middle of the five Bennet girls and the plainest of them all, so what hope does she have? Prim and pious, with no redeeming features, she is unloved and seemingly unlovable. The Other Bennet Sister , though, shows another side to Mary. An introvert in a family of extroverts; a constant disappointment to her mother who values beauty above all else; fearful of her father’s sharp tongue; with little in common with her siblings - is it any wonder she turns to books for both company and guidance? And, if she finds her life lonely or lacking, that she determines to try harder at the one thing she can be: right. One by one, her sisters marry - Jane and Lizzy for love; Lydia for some semblance of respectability - but Mary, it seems, is destined to remain single and live out her life at Longbourn, at least until her father dies and the house is bequeathed to the reviled Mr Collins. But when that fateful day finally comes, she slowly discovers that perhaps there is hope for her, after all. Simultaneously a wonderfully warm homage to Jane Austen and a delightful new story in its own right, Janice Hadlow's The Other Bennet Sister is, at its heart, a life-affirming tale of a young woman finding her place in the world. Witty and uplifting, it will make you feel - and cheer - for Mary as you never have before.

The Fourth Option

The Fourth Option by Jack Carr

When the system fails, there’s one final option. #1 New York Times bestselling author Jack Carr launches a blistering new thriller series co-written with New York Times bestseller M.P. Woodward. Former Navy SEAL and CIA operative Chris Walker has lost faith in everything he once served. On the brink of ending his life, a call pulls him back: the widow of a fallen teammate needs help. Her son is dead – another victim of the opioid crisis – and she wants justice. What Walker uncovers is far bigger than one tragedy. Drawn into a deep-rooted conspiracy, he’s forced to confront the very institutions he once swore to defend. With driven FBI agent Jarrett Stanton closing in, Walker goes off-grid. Traveling with his fiercely loyal Belgian Malinois and a hidden cache of weapons, he becomes judge, jury, and executioner – exposing corruption and delivering a brutal, long-forgotten brand of justice. In the spirit of classic ‘stranger comes to town’ Westerns, this is a modern vigilante story –lean, relentless, and explosive. A new kind of hero is here. Justice is coming. Praise for Jack Carr:  'Jack Carr is the real deal' ANDY MCNAB  'Seriously good' LEE CHILD

She's the one girl he shouldn't want . . . Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there's no logical reason why I'm so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don't usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I'm flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn't help that he's buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we're roommates? I suppose it doesn't matter. Fitzy has made it clear he's not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down. I'm not the kind of girl who chases after a man, though, and I'm not about to start. I've got my hands full dealing with a new school, a sleazy professor, and an uncertain future. So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he's missing? He knows where to find me. *** Why fans love Elle Kennedy ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐! 'Delicious, complicated and drama-filled . . .

Wild Dark Shore - Charlotte McConaghy Cover Art

Wild Dark Shore

Wild Dark Shore Longlisted for the 2026 Stella Prize by Charlotte McConaghy

REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB PICK FOR NOVEMBER 2025! ‘ At once a gripping mystery, an exquisitely written ode to the natural world, and a taut, psychological thriller, Wild Dark Shore is a triumph. Charlotte McConaghy is masterful in her ability to show the intricate connections between place and the human heart, and Wild Dark Shore shows her at the height of her powers. Breathtaking. ’ HANNAH KENT Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world’s largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers. But with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants, packing up the seeds before they are transported to safer ground. Despite the wild beauty of life here, isolation has taken its toll on the Salts. Raff, 18 and suffering his first heartbreak, can only find relief at his punching bag; Fen, 17, has started spending her nights on the beach among the seals; 9-year-old Orly, obsessed with botany, fears the loss of his beloved natural world; and Dominic can’t stop turning back towards the past, and the loss that drove the family to Shearwater in the first place. Then, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman washes up on shore. As the Salts nurse the woman, Rowan, back to life, their suspicion gives way to affection, and they finally begin to feel like a family again. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting her heart, begins to fall for the Salts, too. But Rowan isn’t telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers the sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realises Dominic is keeping his own dark secrets. As the storms on Shearwater gather force, the characters must decide if they can trust each other enough to protect the precious seeds in their care before it’s too late—and if they can finally put the tragedies of the past behind them to create something new, together. A novel of heartstopping twists, dizzying beauty and ferocious love, Wild Dark Shore is a story about the impossible choices we make to protect the people we love, even as the world around us is ending.

Crosby - Sawyer Bennett Cover Art

Crosby

Crosby A Portland Wildfire Hockey Romance by Sawyer Bennett

She’s here to expose hockey’s biggest flaws. He’s the complication she never planned on. Neither one is prepared for the sparks that fly every time they collide. Juno Paxton has built her award-winning documentary career dismantling institutions people blindly worship. Her latest assignment is her most high-profile yet: immerse herself in the league’s newest hockey expansion team—the Portland Wildfire—for an entire season and create a behind-the-scenes film the league can parade around as “authentic.” Juno doesn’t buy it. Not the hype, not the hero worship, and definitely not the polished personas of pro athletes. She expects egos, theatrics, and plenty of manufactured grit. What she doesn’t expect is Crosby Hale. The Wildfire’s starting goalie is stoic, meticulously focused, and infuriatingly camera-shy. He wants nothing to do with her film, her questions, or her insistence that he “show some personality.” Unfortunately for him, the league wants Juno’s documentary to center on the enigmatic goaltender who refuses to cooperate. But the more time Juno spends with Crosby, the more she glimpses the steady, thoughtful man beneath his guarded exterior. He isn’t the stereotype she’s built her name exposing—he’s better. The more she learns about him, the harder it becomes to keep her documentary, and her heart, objective. And for Crosby, letting Juno in feels less like a mistake and more like the beginning of something worth fighting for. Warm, witty, and unexpectedly emotional, CROSBY launches the Portland Wildfire series with a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance between a skeptical filmmaker and the goalie determined to stay out of her spotlight… until she becomes the one thing he can’t turn away from.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Empire of Pain and Say Nothing - a stunning story of corruption and tragedy in one of the world's great cities: London. "A new book by Keefe means drop everything and close the blinds; you'll be turning pages for hours" Los Angeles Times 'Patrick Radden Keefe [is] one of the top narrative nonfiction authors of his generation' TIME In 2019, a London teenager, Zac Brettler, mysteriously fell to his death from a luxury apartment building on the banks of the Thames.

In his inimitably gripping and forensic prose, Baillie Gifford Prize winner and New Yorker writer Patrick Radden Keefe follows Zac's parents on a dark journey to find out what brought Zac to the balcony that night - and how a teenager's world of make-believe drew him into the city's terrifying underworld. London Falling is at once a devastating family tragedy, a riveting story of greed, power and deception, and an indictment of the culture that has transformed London into a haven for the malignant forces that have come to influence us all.

RUTH HOGAN, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Keeper of Lost Things 'Charming and comical with a sardonic raised eyebrow. Very Tom Allen!' JO BRAND 'Tom writes with a perfect comic voice, about a place no one knows better, suburbia. A beautiful book about a much ignored area of British life' JOSH WIDDICOMBE It may be quiet in the suburbs, but it's far from peaceful . . . Oak Drive can be found nestled tidily in an unassuming English town. Its uniform front gardens overlook a midsized common which the street's residents survey with quiet, some might say smug, pride. This is the sort of place where it pays to sweat the small stuff, and let the big things look after themselves. Bins should be placed back in their right positions in a timely fashion and paintwork should share the same tasteful but muted palette. Sometimes, however, the big things do not look after themselves - and all hell can break loose in sleepy suburbia. Common Decency chronicles the lives and interactions of the street's residents as they band together to save a beloved oak tree from destruction at the hands of ruthless developers. As tensions rise and repressed neuroses and resentments seep out, the secrets of Oak Drive threaten to shatter the well-ordered veneer, revealing some rather more surprising truths. . . Tom Allen brings his trademark dark comedy to the page in this brilliant novel about what it truly means to be a neighbourhood.

Your Friend and Mine - Jessica Dettmann Cover Art

Your Friend and Mine

Your Friend and Mine by Jessica Dettmann

A warm, witty and wise novel about second chances, friendship and romance for readers of Marian Keyes and Liane Moriarty. 'Dettmann at her hilarious and heartwarming best.' Tim Minchin   When Margot receives an email from her best friend it comes as a shock ... seeing as Tess died twenty years ago. Margot is catapulted back to 2000, meeting the confident English backpacker visiting Sydney, where their intense friendship led to plans to travel back to Europe together. But then Margot fell in love with Johnny, and she never made it to London. Margot still feels guilty for letting Tess down.  Now Tess is providing Margot with the means to fly to London and have the trip they never got to do together. But there are stipulations to Tess's beyond-the-grave generosity Margot must scatter her ashes and carry out 'tasks' in the company of Leo, Tess's stepbrother.  Margot can't help but compare the dreams and aspirations of the girl who partied with Tess to the bored, exhausted woman she has become. How could Tess have predicted that Margot would need a second chance to get on that plane? 'If you're looking to break a reading drought, this book is for you.' Australian Women's Weekly   'This is Dettmann's breakout book. No question. Your Friend and Mine is witty, insightful, and full of heart a layered exploration of love, friendship, grief, and second chances. With her keen, often obscure and downright perfect observations on life, Dettmann delivers a novel that is as thought-provoking as it is joyous.' Sally Hepworth, author of Darling Girls   'Funny, tender and adventurous, this story had me alternating between laughter and tears throughout. Your Friend and Mine is a touching homage to love - between lovers and friends - and a beautiful exploration of the nuances of grief, all wrapped up in Jess' signature humour. I'm such a huge fan of Jess' books and this was my favourite of them all. I absolutely adored it.' - Ali Lowe, author of The Private Island   'Thoughtful, funny, touching, smart. Your Friend And Mine sparkles with Jess Dettmann's trademark wit, and charms with its sharp insights into friendship, long-term love and detoured dreams. An absolute pleasure.' - Holly Wainwright, author of He Would Never 'A joyful, wise and deeply moving story about friendship, desire and unmet needs that delivers delight on every page. Funny, authentic and profound, I absolutely loved it.' - Anna Downes, author of Red River Road 'A witty, relatable and huge-hearted novel about friendship, long-term love and the surprisingly difficult mid-life challenge of seeing your own life clearly. I absolutely loved it.' - Emily Maguire, author of Rapture   'A compelling and astutely observed tale of past regrets, complex love and friendships lost and found. Movingly and wittily told, it draws you in from its first sentence and keeps you guessing till the last. Dettmann is a storyteller at the top of her game which is a high bar indeed.' - Ben Elton   'Dettmann confidently covers vast emotional ground while maintaining a light, accessible style. Your Friend and Mine is for readers of Marian Keyes.' - Australian Bookseller & Publisher 'A novel that manages to keep a laugh-per-page quotient hovering somewhere between that of Toni Jordan and P.G. Wodehouse, while embedding that humour in stories that speak to the lived reality of women's experience...a call to adventure Dettmann renders with trademark charm, black humour, and a neat grasp of human foible. The voice of Margot is one of the novel's chief pleasures. She's a narrator after Helen Garner's own heart: sardonic yet self-effacing observant to a fault. Dettmann's prose is generous, however, even when her observational acuity is of Lorrie Moore or Anne Tyler-degree sharpness because she notices things democratically.' - Geordie Williamson, The Australian 'The premise of Jessica Dettmann's fourth novel is delicious...This at-times wistful and tender romp is a hoot.' Jason Steger, The Age 'A thoughtful exploration of long-term relationships, personal growth, and how our values shift over time. This book is a heartfelt, beautifully crafted story, offering a much-needed escape and a poignant reminder of the ways friendship, love, and loss shape us. A lovely antidote for our troubled times.' - Good Reading Magazine 'A rising star for smart, warm and witty fiction, Jessica Dettmann explores paths not taken, second chances, friendship and love.'

The Nervous System Reset

The Nervous System Reset Heal Trauma, Resolve Chronic Stress and Pain, and Regulate Your Emotions with the Power of the Vagus Nerve by Jessica Maguire

'A must-read for anyone seeking to understand and nurture their nervous system.' Dr Kelly Vincent, clinical psychologist 'A profoundly significant ground-breaking book that explores authentic healing.' Maggie Dent, bestselling author The vagus nerve is the superhighway between our bodies and brains, our emotions and behaviour. However, chronic stress and trauma impair the vagus nerve's functions, which can lead to stress-related illnesses such as anxiety and depression, chronic back pain, headaches, addictive cravings, IBS and insomnia. As a physiotherapist, Jessica Maguire saw hundreds of patients who were spending a fortune on multiple treatments that did not work to heal conditions which were seemingly resistant to every kind of intervention. Jessica's subsequent years of extensive study, thousands of interactions with patients and a dedicated online audience have led her to develop a series of simple but highly effective techniques for re-toning the vagus nerve and restoring mental and physical health. In The Nervous System Reset , Jessica provides detailed information on the foundational science and body practices that can alleviate chronic symptoms, allowing us to better cope with the impact of past traumas and live with more comfort, pleasure and optimism. Compassionate, accessible and authoritative, The Nervous System Reset is your complete guide to the transformative power of the mighty vagus nerve.

This Is Me - Hayden Panettiere Cover Art

This Is Me

This Is Me A Reckoning: A remarkably candid memoir from the star of HEROES and NASHVILLE by Hayden Panettiere

'Hayden Panettiere holds nothing back: From child stardom to crushing loss, this is her truth' US Weekly 'There's no easy way to share your story with the world, but I'm an optimist to the core and refuse to be defined by my tragedies. Life can shake you up and tear you down, but even when you're at your worst, there's hope, and you have an opportunity to rebuild.' Heroes and Nashville star Hayden Panettiere reclaims her story in a remarkably candid memoir. Hayden Panettiere's career in entertainment began before she was old enough to walk. From early commercials to film and television roles in hits like Remember the Titans , her career unfolded in the public eye resulting in tremendous success by her early teens. She had become a fixture of early-2000s pop culture, earning acclaim for performances in Heroes , Nashville (which earned her two Golden Globe nominations) and beyond-while quietly carrying the weight of expectations that came with being Hollywood's "It girl." Behind the image was a far more complicated reality. As Hayden entered adulthood, the industry that once felt playful grew unforgiving. The pressure placed on young performers, the hefty price that often comes with fame, and how quickly someone else can take control of your story. She recounts being scrutinized by tabloids, watching her body and private pain become public property, and performing storylines on-screen that echoed trauma she was living through off camera. In this memoir, Hayden shares a rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, trauma, domestic abuse, and loss. She holds nothing back as she reflects on the moments she calls "lifequakes"- experiences that fractured her sense of self and forced her to rebuild it from the inside out. In This Is Me: A Reckoning Hayden showcases her most vulnerable role yet . . . this is her story on her terms.

The Golden Jackal - Bianca D'Arc Cover Art

The Golden Jackal

The Golden Jackal by Bianca D'Arc

When darkness calls, the jackal answers. Petra Haas had a perfectly ordinary life - cataloging medieval manuscripts at the British Library, avoiding her neighbor's passive-aggressive notes, and pretending she didn't have strange intuitions she couldn't explain. Then a phone call changed everything. A distant cousin she'd never met had died and left her a fortune, a German castle, and a legacy of darkness she never could have imagined. The moment she arrived at Kettering Castle, Petra knew something was very wrong. The silver in the underground workshop made her skin crawl. The staff watched her every move. And the mysterious stranger who emerged from the shadows insisted that magic was real, dark mages were coming for her, and she'd just inherited a war along with the castle. Seth Taren had spent decades fighting as a mercenary. As a golden jackal shifter nobody quite knew which side of the eternal battle of good vs. evil he stood on. He was working for the jaguar and lion Alphas and was supposed to gather intelligence on Kettering's operations, not protect an innocent librarian who had no idea she'd stumbled into a supernatural battleground. But from the moment Petra squared her small shoulders and decided to fight back instead of run, Seth knew she was different. She was brave. She was his. Now, with dark forces closing in and an ancient evil stirring, Seth and Petra must learn to trust each other, and the impossible connection growing between them, before the Venifucus destroys everything. Some secrets are worth protecting. Some loves are worth fighting for. And some mates are destined to change the world. Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series and Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling world, The Golden Jackal delivers heart-pounding action, sizzling chemistry, and a love story that will keep you reading long into the night.

A Family for Cash

A Family for Cash by Cynthia Dees

She’s spent her whole life being left behind. He’s spent his whole life leaving.   Natalie Pringle doesn’t do helpless. She’s been raising her five-year-old niece on her own since the fire that took her brother, teaching first grade and holding everything together by sheer stubborn will. The last thing she needs is Cash Crawford—rodeo stock manager, professional drifter, and the most infuriating man she’s ever met—camped out in her living room playing nursemaid. But her broken ankle and a five-year-old who adores “Uncuh Cash” don’t leave her much choice. Cash Crawford doesn’t do roots. He’s spent a decade on the road, outrunning the heartbreak that sent him there, and he’s got a world rodeo championship to win to in three weeks. Looking after one stubborn, contrary schoolteacher and her horse-crazy niece is a temporary detour. That’s all. Except somewhere between soothing Natalie’s nightmares and making Katie’s breakfast, between bedtime stories and bickering that feels a lot like flirting, temporary starts feeling permanent. And Natalie—who knows exactly what it costs to love someone who won’t stay—finds herself leaning on a man who carries a handkerchief for her tears, makes her adopted daughter laugh, and looks at her and Katie like they’re the home he never knew he was missing. But the rodeo is calling. Cash has never been a staying kind of cowboy, and Natalie knows better than anyone what comes after good-bye. A clean, heartwarming cowboy romance with a caretaker hero, a fiery heroine and her adorable niece, forced proximity, instant family, and all the witty small-town banter your heart can hold. Perfect for readers who love romances with emotional depth and a guaranteed happily ever after.   Cynthia Dees is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over 100 romances.

Taiwan Travelogue

Taiwan Travelogue winner of the International Booker Prize 2026 by Shuang-zi Yang

A bittersweet story of love between two women, nested in an artful exploration of language, history, and power. May 1938. The young novelist Aoyama Chizuko has sailed from her home in Nagasaki, Japan, and arrived in Taiwan. She’s been invited there by the Japanese government ruling the island, though she has no interest in their official banquets or imperialist agenda. Instead, Chizuko longs to experience real island life and to taste as much of its authentic cuisine as her famously monstrous appetite can bear. Soon a Taiwanese woman is hired as her interpreter and makes her dreams come true. The charming, erudite, meticulous Chizuru arranges Chizuko’s travels all over the Land of the South and also proves to be an exceptional cook. Over scenic train rides and braised pork rice, lively banter and winter melon tea, Chizuko grows infatuated with her companion and intent on drawing her closer. But something causes Chizuru to keep her distance. It’s only after a heartbreaking separation that Chizuko begins to grasp what the ‘something’ is. Disguised as a translation of a rediscovered text by a Japanese writer, this novel was a sensation on its first publication in Mandarin Chinese in 2020 and won Taiwan’s highest literary honour, the Golden Tripod Award. Taiwan Travelogue unburies lost colonial histories and deftly reveals how power dynamics inflect our most intimate relationships.

Liar's Kingdom

Liar's Kingdom How To Stop Trump's Deceit and Save Democracy by Andrew Weissmann

"The 2020 election was a total FRAUD!" "I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally." "There is NO WAY Biden got 80,000,000 votes!!!" These and other lies by Donald Trump sparked a historic insurrection to topple US democracy and undermined the public's faith in elections. The Trump administration's deceit has enabled the use of law enforcement and the military against the people, the unlawful deportation of immigrants, and the disregard of international rules meant to promote a civilized and peaceful world. Other politicians, inspired by the success of the political lie, have flooded the public square with falsehoods of their own. As Andrew Weissmann reveals, our vulnerability to politicians' lies stems from a flaw in America's legal system - one that can be fixed. But it will take courage, creativity, and a willingness to look to other countries, including Brazil, France, Germany, and the UK, that have already confronted this crisis. A slim, elegant treatise, Liar's Kingdom is a playbook for stopping politicians like Trump from holding office in the future - and for saving democracy. We are entitled to more from our governments, and Weissmann shows us how we can get it.
