If I Ruled the World
It is 1999 in New York City where 20-something Nikki Rose has spent the last 3 years working her way up the chain at StyleList, a fashion magazine rivaled only by Vogue. As the only Black editor on staff, Nikki’s never had it easy, but the constant microaggressions turn macro when Nikki pitches Tyisha, supermodel and host of “America’s Next Cover Girl”, for the cover of StyleList’s January issue. Her Editor-in-Chief responds simply: “Black girls don’t sell magazines.” Determined to find a place for young Black women in the magazine world, Nikki hustles her way into a job offer as Editor-in-Chief at Sugar, a floundering hip hop music and lifestyle publication with untapped potential. She’s faced with a difficult decision: say goodbye to her prestigious job (much to the chagrin of her academic parents and investment banker boyfriend) or bet on herself and enter an entirely new world of extreme wealth, decadence, and debauchery. She chooses herself. Now Nikki must deal with a whole new set of challenges as she fights to save Sugar, including facing off with its vindictive former Editor-in-Chief and winning over her skeptical staff, learning to navigate the urban music industry while staving off its influential bad boys and power players—and perhaps the most difficult, evading the Alonzo Griffin: her very married, very powerful ex-boyfriend, former boss, publishing powerhouse, and well-known womaniser, who is on a mission to take Nikki (and Sugar) down. As Nikki struggles to make her way in the media and music industries during one of the most dynamic eras in pop culture history, she needs to game the system to win. But what happens when winning means sacrificing everything you hold dear?
The Bureau
'Some of the most beautiful prose being written in Ireland today' Irish TimesA Harper's most talked-about thriller novel 2025A Irish Times Book of the Year 2025A Critic Book of the Year 2025A Guardian Crime Book of the Year 2025Lorraine would say afterwards that she was smitten straight off with Paddy Farrell. You could tell that he was occupying the room in a different way, he found the spaces that fitted him. She was the kind of girl the papers called vivacious, always a bit of dazzle to her. Could she not see there was death about him? Could he not see there was death about her? Paddy worked the border, a place of road closures, hijackings, sudden death. Everything bootleg and tawdry, nobody is saying that the law is paid off but it is. This is strange terrain, unsolid, ghosted through. There's illicit cash coming across the border and Brendan's backstreet Bureau de Change is the place to launder it. Brendan knows the rogue lawyers, the nerve shot policemen, the alcoholic judges and he doesn't care about getting caught. For the Bureau crew getting caught is only the start of the game. Paddy and his associates were a ragged band and honourless and their worth to themselves was measured in thievery and fraud. But Lorraine was not a girl to be treated lightly. She's cast as a minx, a criminal's moll but she's bought a shotgun. And she's bought a grave.

The Groundbreaker
The Groundbreaker is an inspirational and riveting account of Kanwal Rekhi, who defined a generation of Indian entrepreneurs that changed the world. In many ways, Rekhi’s fascinating and singular journey mirrors the rise of modern India, offering a deeply personal account of US-India relations, both past and present. Dubbed the “Godfather of the Silicon Valley’s Indian Mafia,” by Fortune Magazine, Rekhi rubbed shoulders with luminaries named Gates, Jobs, and Ellison on his meteoric ascent through the tech industry. He went on to advise presidents and prime ministers on culture-shifting policies and is perhaps best known for his work inspiring and launching the careers of thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs, many of whom have become millionaires and even billionaires. Underscoring his own stories as an entrepreneur, investor, and mentor, Rekhi embraces American values, proving that immigrants not only contribute to the economy but often employ thousands of Americans in the process. In The Groundbreaker, Rekhi shares his firsthand account on what it meant to be an American at the dawn of the digital age, what it means to be an American now amidst massive change and uncertainty, and why democracy is crucial to the role entrepreneurs play in moving the world toward a better tomorrow. Drawing on his roles as an advisory board member at Stanford’s Institute of Economic Policy Research and Rand Corporation’s Center for Asian Pacific Policy, Rekhi explores the precarious but interdependent relationships between the US, India, China, and Russia; and how competition and alliances might evolve in the future, especially between America and India; and why the cooperation of the world’s oldest democracy and the world’s largest democracy is crucial to the continued balance of global power. More than just a business memoir, this book is a call to action—for dreamers, doers, and those brave enough to bet on themselves. With lessons on resilience, leadership, innovation, and purpose, it’s at once a deeply personal story of overcoming adversity and an urgent rallying cry for the next generation of changemakers.

Their ordeal forged an unlikely rapport that lasted until Noël died in 1956. Drawing on contemporary sources, personal papers and letters, Angela Young, Noël’s great-granddaughter, brings their incredible story to light – a story of courage in the face of unthinkable tragedy.

Castro
Castro: A Biography by Consent offers the most comprehensive and in-depth life history of one of the most iconic and controversial revolutionary leaders of the modern world. Respected by some, despised by others, Fidel Castro was a force to reckon with. Claudia Furiati spent nine years of intensive research unraveling and chronicling his story through seven decades of Cuban history. Castro granted Furiati his consent to write this biography and gave his assurance that he would not read it until the book was completed and published. He allowed her access to his personal (confidential and secret) archives and official files. Through these and multiple interviews with Castro’s friends and enemies alike, Furiati fills in gaps missing from other biographies and provides, through extensive narrative and photos, a powerful portrayal of this charismatic yet enigmatic head of state.
