  • Rules for the Summer

    £10.99

    Renley Gossage has one shot to prove she’s more than Cape Meril’s favourite cautionary tale: restore her favourite candy shop before the town writes her off like they did her father. No help, no shortcuts, and definitely no rich men wielding engagement rings and making things messy. Theo Williams never planned on ending up in Cape Meril. A drunken game of truth or dare turned into a botched online engagement, and now he’s across the ocean, escaping his father’s control with nothing but designer shoes, misplaced confidence, and a rental next door to Renley. She’s practical, stubborn, and covered in paint. He’s posh, persistent, and willing to use a sander if it means earning her trust. Between collapsing drywall, gossiping neighbours, and the chaotic schemes of Renley’s aunt, their forced proximity turns into something dangerously close to real.

    Fehmi and Sener have been together forty years-no small feat for any pair, but especially admirable for a gay couple in Turkey. Behind closed doors, their life on Buyukada, an idyllic island near Istanbul, is like a powder keg that needs only one spark to blow. That spark soon comes in the form of Deniz, the wildly handsome and troubled teenager next door, who immediately catches Fehmi’s eye. This ‘harmless’ crush immediately raises Sener’s hackles; although he doesn’t think Deniz would ever reciprocate Fehmi’s feelings, it’s not a risk he’s willing to take. But when one betrayal leads to another, Deniz hatches a plan, and the sultry summer takes a dark turn as the couple’s relationship is put to the test like never before. Will lust or love win the day? One thing’s for sure: not everyone will be getting out of this love triangle alive. Dishy, suspenseful, and boiling over with black humor, Yigit Karaahmet’s debut makes a fierce politic

When Juno meets Owen Wilson223 – or, to use his real name, Benu – she senses an immediate connection between them, even though they’re separated by thousands of miles. Gradually, they reveal more and more about themselves to each other: about their real selves, and about who they really want to be.

  • ESCAPE!

    £11.99

    Everyone gets the story arc they deserve. Kent Duvall, a faded reality show winner, just wants another chance at glory-to find his way out of his depressing life and back to his highlight reel. When a scandal is captured on camera at a charity event, he gets his shot, on a new jungle survival show with seven other contestants. Each of them has been cast as a type-Ruddy the bully, Miriam the nerd, Ashley the love interest-but everyone is more than they appear. The contestants’ goals seem simple-survive the wild, build a raft, win treasure. But Beck Bermann, a reality producer who suffered her own public shaming, sees them as characters in her redemption arc. As the schemes and strategies spiral out, breakout camps sabotage each other and rival producers struggle to control the storyline. Soon the question becomes less about who will win than who will make it out in one piece.

  • The Raven Scholar

    £10.99

    She might win the throne. She might destroy an empire. Either way, it begins with murder.

Trained at rival monasteries, each contender is inspired by a sacred animal – Fox, Raven, Tiger, Ox, Bear, Monkey, and Hound. An eighth – the Dragon proxy – will be revealed only once the trials have begun. Eight exceptional warriors, thinkers, strategists – the best of the best. Then one of them is murdered. It falls to the brilliant but idiosyncratic Neema Kraa to investigate. But as she hunts for a killer, darker forces are gathering. If Neema succeeds, she could win the throne – whether she wants it or not. But if she fails, she will sentence herself to death and set in motion a sequence of events that could doom the empire.
