Three mobsters. Two detectives. An offer they can't refuse.

Smith Dwayne Alexander: Sounds Like
Trouble

Sounds Like Trouble

ONE BED. ONE RULE: DON'T CATCH FEELINGS. With a fun and steamy twist on the only-one-bed trope, this debut contemporary romance will delight fans of THE PARADISE PROBLEM and THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS Chemistry teacher Ashleigh Hutchinson knows better than anyone that love and lust don't mix. The feelings come from different hormones, they trigger different responses, and they demand different reactions. Which is why she doesn't date. She hooks up. No catching feelings required. When Ashleigh is fired from her job without notice, she signs up to participate in a month-long sleep study, which will pay her enough to cover rent while she job hunts. It seems easy enough-until she walks into the clinic and finds herself staring right into the gorgeous eyes of Xander Miller, the only man to have ever tempted her to abandon her no-relationships rule. When Xander and Ashleigh realize the study is only looking for couples, they agree to pretend to be together-which means sleeping in the same bed every night for the next few weeks. How hard can it be to keep their cool under the covers? You can expect... 💖Fake dating (for science) 🛏¿Only one bed (every night) 🙅¿¿¿No feelings (allegedly) 💕Second chance romance 🐶Golden retriever MMC 💋Hot mess FMC 😂Banter as a love language 🧪Undeniable chemistry! 'Incredible. This book glued me to the pages from start to finish. The voice is sharp and sassy, the banter actually crackles, and the chemistry is spectacular, the addictive push-pull that keeps you saying "just one more chapter" until there aren't any left.' ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ 'I almost laughed until I cried from the first night alone. This book is absolutely hilarious!' ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ 'This is one of those books I just LOVED because of the banter, the moments between the FMC and the MMC, the vulnerability, and just the palpable chemistry coming off the pages!' ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ 'Sizzling from the very start!' ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿

Bed Chemistry

A thoroughly enjoyable mystery story with all the tropes and pleasures of a golden age detective story' Observer 'A glamorous recipe of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Agatha Christie' Paula Sutton 'Imbued with luxury and lurking danger' S.J. Bennett 'Murderously fun' Jessica Bull 1922: You are cordially invited to summer at the Gatsby Mansion in West Egg, with the most illustrious - and the deadliest - guest list. Freshly twenty-one and sporting a daring new bob, Greta Gatsby - younger sister to the infamous Jay - is finally free of finishing school. An idyllic summer stretches ahead of her at the Gatsby Mansion, the jewel of West Egg. But when Greta arrives at the secluded white-stone estate bathed in the late-afternoon light, she finds she isn't the only visitor. Jay is hosting an intimate gathering of New York's fashionable set: Daisy and Tom Buchanan, along with his brother Edgar, Nick Carraway and Jordan Baker. That evening, the guests enjoy a candelabra-lit dinner party. That night, they dance to the lilt of the gramophone. The next morning, one of them is missing. Murder has come to West Egg, the warm breeze tainted by scandal, betrayal and secrets. Turning sleuth isn't how Greta meant to spend her summer - but what choice does she have when one of them could be next? The gilded opulence of the Roaring Twenties. A murder that scandalises high society. And a clever young woman of unusual persistence . . . A deliciously unputdownable whodunnit perfect for fans of The Christie Affair and Miss Austen Investigates. 'Compelling and bursting with 1920s flair, this new twist on the iconic tale will delight newcomers and old fans alike' CE McGill, author of Our Hideous Progeny 'Absolutely devoured this glorious romp of a novel. The Gatsby Gambit is pure escapist fun - a pacy, clever, witty mystery that I galloped through with sheer delight' Naomi Kelsey, author of The Burnings 'A glamour-filled, thrilling read that kept me guessing to the end! It was such a treat to be back in the world of Gatsby!' Kate Weston, author of You May Now Kill the Bride 'Claire Anderson-Wheeler brilliantly intertwines the allure of the Jazz Age with a gripping murder mystery in The Gatsby Gambit. A dazzling homage to Fitzgerald's world, this novel captivates from the first page to the last' Joanna Wallace, author of You'd Look Better as a Ghost 'Lively, smart, and fun . . . As charming as Daisy Buchanan herself' Flynn Berry, author of Northern Spy 'With a fiercely defiant female lead and secrets as sharp as the prose, The Gatsby Gambit oozes glamour and intrigue. I loved this bold take on a beloved classic' Trisha Sakhlecha, author of The Inheritance

The Gatsby Gambit

This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me

“Haunting, fast-paced, and unforgettable.” — Karin Slaughter, #1 New York Times bestselling author of We Are All Guilty Here“A lush, moody mystery.

On the night of the Summer Solstice in 1999, nine-year-old Roisin O’Halloran marched into the Hanging Woods, the mysterious copse that had inspired fear in decades of children in the small Irish town of Bannakilduf. She was never seen again. Twenty years later, two women are drawn together to discover the truth of what happened to Roisin: Roisin’s older sister Deedee, a rookie cop who’s barely hanging on to the appearance of keeping it all together, and Roisin’s childhood best friend Caitlin, a petty criminal who was the last person to see the young girl before she disappeared, now returned to her hometown after her mother’s death. With old wounds made fresh after decades of mistrust, Caitlin and Deedee must reckon with their shadowy pasts, the monsters that still haunt them, and the role they each may have played in Roisin’s disappearance. The secrets of that long-ago summer rise to the surface, and they will expose the truth that many in the small town are desperate to keep buried. The siren of the Hanging Woods rings out once more. After all, nothing can stay hidden forever.

Dandelion is Dead

'Superb ... Witty, assured, energisingly original' GUARDIAN 'Razor-edged and emotionally rich ... Exquisite' LUCY ROSE, AUTHOR OF THE LAMB 'A literary star in the making' MARIE CLAIRE *** Introducing an outstanding new voice in literary fiction: a sensual, sharp, and utterly compelling campus novel about grief, reinvention, and the ripple effects of telling lies If I ever woke up with an ungodly dread - that I could change it all now, turn around, and confess - I ignored it. I had never been good, and there was no point in trying now. On a small liberal arts campus in upstate New York, Charlotte begins her final year with a lie. Her father died over the summer, she says. Heart attack. Very sudden. Charlotte had never been close with her classmates but as she repeats her tale, their expressions soften into kindness. And so she learns there are things worth lying for: attention, affection, and, as she embarks on a relationship with fellow student Katarina, even love. All she needs to do is keep control of the threads that hold her lie - and her life - together. But six thousand miles away, alone in the grey two-up-two-down Staffordshire terrace she grew up in, her father is very much alive, watching television and drinking beer. Charlotte has always kept difficult truths at arm's length, but his resolve to visit his distant daughter might just be the one thing she can't control. 'The kind of interior voice that ensnares you ... The art college campus novel I've always wanted.... Grace Murray is one of those writers who you can devote yourself to' CLAIRE KOHDA, AUTHOR OF WOMAN, EATING

"SCREAMING, CRYING, THROWING UP! Cry Havoc is a fever worth catching, a gloomy and gorgeous pleasure." — Maggie Thrash, author of Rainbow BlackA humorous dark academia novel, set in a failing English girls’ school in the 1980s, in which a teen running from her past becomes immersed in a dangerous and intriguing mystery involving a shady new teacher and a strange contagion afflicting her classmates.Fleeing Scotland after a humiliating family scandal, sixteen-year-old Ida Campbell secures a scholarship at a failing girls’ boarding school situated on the remote south English coast. Her new Headmistress—an eccentric woman obsessed with the Cold War and nuclear annihilation—seems surprised that the young woman accepted her offer, but Ida feels that St. Anne’s could be a refuge—until she discovers that her roommate, the infamous Louise Adler, is a potential arsonist and hardened outcast.Ida barely has time to make a good impression (or figure out what Louise’s deal is) when Matthew Langfield, a new teacher, arrives. While the girls are all desperately intrigued to find out everything about him – after all, who takes a job at&nbsp;St. Anne’s? - the school’s geography teacher, Eleanor Alston, has an uneasy feeling that he is not who he says he is. And things only get worse when a mysterious sickness starts to spread throughout the school, causing strange limb jerks and seizures among the pupils.What is happening to the girls of St Anne's? Are some of the girls faking these fits? Could someone be poisoning them? Is Matthew Langfield a smooth-tongued liar? Will Louise set the school on fire, or push a girl out of a window. . . again? And is Ida’s past going to catch up with her, despite doing everything to keep it secret?Expertly melding the cloying atmosphere and eerie mystery of The Secret History, Ninth House, and The Fever with the sharp wit and delightful absurdity of Derry Girls, Cry Havoc is a dazzling literary introduction to a whip smart, clever, and elegant writer.
