'An act of such breath-taking imagination, daring and detail that the journey we are on is believable and the debate in the mind non-stop. There are elements of Doris Lessing in the writing - a huge emerging talent here' Fiona Shaw
'A towering literary achievement' Ruth Hogan, author of The Keeper of Lost Things

Love Theoretically
From the author of tiktok sensations and global bestsellers The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain.
Rival physicists collide in a vortex of academic feuds and fake dating shenanigans in this delightfully STEMinist romcom.
The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she's an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people-pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs.
Honestly, it's a pretty sweet gig - until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down. Because Jack Smith, the annoyingly attractive and arrogant older brother of her favourite client, turns out to be the cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined her mentor's career and undermined the reputation of theorists everywhere. And he's the same Jack Smith who rules over the physics department at MIT, standing right between Elsie and her dream job.
Elsie is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly sabotage but... those long, penetrating looks? Not having to be anything other than her true self when she's with him? Will falling into an experimentalist's orbit finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into practice?

Beautifully illustrated by Donald Sammut, this is an indispensable companion on the lover's journey.

Csinos játék babák 2: Pretty Lost Dolls - Elveszett babácskák
Ragadtad már meg más lelkét valaha a saját lényeddel,
magadba szívva őt, hogy a részeddé váljon?
Én igen.
Végre elkezdtem élni, érezni és szerelembe esni
- ebben a nagy káoszban, ami körülvesz.
Kibújtam a védőpáncélomból, és beengedtem valakit a szívembe.
Nyitva hagytam a lelkemet.
Nyitva hagytam a szívemet.
Nyitva hagytam az ajtót.
Ő pedig elrabolt.
Dillon... sajnálom.
Bennynek volt egy beteg babácskája, hajjajaj.
Aki pont úgy vágyott a sötétségre, mint ő maga, hajjajaj.
Úgyhogy közösen gyötörtek, vadásztak, játszadoztak, hajjajaj.
Bűneik halálos eleggyé összeálltak, ajjajaj.
Ám Bennynek hiányozni kezdett az elveszett babája, hajjajaj.
Bármi áron meg kellett találnia, hogy szerethesse, hajjajaj.
Nem akart kettesben maradni a beteg babájával, hajjajaj.
Terveket szőtt, hogy hazahozza a mocskos babácskáját, ajjajaj.
Egy különleges szerzőpáros páratlanul sötét kötete.
Csak erős lelkeknek!
"K Webster és Ker Dukey újabb sötét és felzaklató körre visz minket.
Nem tudom, miért kerültem valaha is
az ilyesfajta történeteket, mert ÚRISTEN, annyira imádom
ezt a sorozatot! Piszkosul TÖKÉLETES!!!"
