Beautiful Distance
An unnamed narrator sits in a cafe overlooking a train station, sipping a green juice and people-watching. A small white butterfly flutters through the air; a calico cat jumps onto a wall; cherry blossom petals fall, softly, to the ground. Life stands still for one moment. He is preparing to visit his terminally ill wife in hospital.
So begins this moving novel exploring the distance between people, places and memories in simple and elegant prose, as Yamazaki raises questions around what family means, how we think about death, and how we express love; particularly in a society where work is often prioritised.
For Whom the Belle Tolls
THEY TOLD HER TO GO TO HELL. SHE WENT ON HER OWN TERMS.
Lily isn't exactly thrilled with her arrival in the Afterlife, but what awaits her there is more fantastical than she ever could have imagined. Deities wait in line at the coffee shop. Fae flit between realms. Souls find ways to make death a beginning.
As she explores the many corners of the Afterlife, Lily finds herself surprisingly drawn to a place most people would avoid at all costs: Hell. Armed with years of customer service experience and pent-up sarcasm, Lily carves a job out for herself amongst Hell's demons, sending souls to their rightful circles with more than a hint of sass.
Lily's expectations are subverted every day in Hell - especially by Bel, a demon general with a distractingly sexy voice. The two meet by chance and form an immediate, deeply healing friendship, but the undeniable heat between them threatens to combust.
Meanwhile, something stirs beyond the boundaries of their world, threatening to destroy everything they've known and everything that could be… unless they fight like Hell to stop it.
Love at First Bite
I mean hey, what's the worst that could happen? Ok fine, the worst that could happen is that I didn't imagine those fangs after all…
Squeaky clean good girl Lucy Partridge is a sucker for heartwarming tales and happy endings. So a weekend reporting on the Whitby Goth Weekend is well outside her comfort zone. As is sharing her tiny annexe accommodation with all six feet three inches of bad boy bar owner Liam Bramwell. And that's before she discovers that he's an actual living - or, er, 'undead' - vampire!
Logically, Lucy knows she should run the other way, but the reporter in her can tell there's more to Bram than his fangs. It's clearly time for this good girl to take a walk on the dark side, and if that path leads her straight into Bram's muscular tattooed arms?
Well, a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do…

Elizabeth II
As daughter, wife, mother and Sovereign, Elizabeth II lived fascinating parallel lives, both in private and in public. But she remained something of a mystery – beloved, even revered, modest yet daunting, naturally shy but globally recognizable, inscrutable and also authentic. She was grand but so familiar that we felt we knew her. Yet we would always be left asking the same question: ‘What’s she really like?’ No one has written more authoritatively on Elizabeth II than Robert Hardman. Who better to answer that question?
The only biographer to have interviewed all the senior members of the Royal Family, some of them several times, Hardman has crafted a gripping story of drama, devotion, triumph, tragedy, humour and conflict; of an outwardly stoical, inwardly complex woman whose love of family, love of country and duty to the Crown might pull her in different directions but never derailed her; a global stateswoman who wielded her great authority with charm and understatement.
Elizabeth II will explain why she was not merely the most famous woman in the world. She was one of history’s all-time greats.

Maverick Miller is the best player in the league, but he's never had a winning record. Team captain and desperate to turn things around, he agrees to play nice with the fiery new left-winger even though they're total opposites.
After a night of explosive tension that ends in bed, Emmy and Maverick swear it'll be a one-time thing - just enough to clear the air so they can focus on their game. It's meaningless, she insists, because she doesn't date hockey players, and he's a notorious playboy who doesn't date at all. But 'just once' quickly becomes again and again, and while they promise their friends-with-benefits setup will end with the season, their chemistry off the ice proves impossible to ignore ...
