A heartwarming, healing debut that instantly captured the hearts of Korean readers, this is a novel about the preciousness of human relationships and the power of solidarity in a world that is increasingly cold, fast-paced and virtual.

'I just loved reading it. It's exceptional' Fearne Cotton, Happy Place
'An empowering project' Stylist
'Extremely sexy . . . Want is the horny manifesto your TBR list will thank you for' Cosmopolitan
What do you want when no one is watching?
What do you want, when the lights are off?
What do you want, when you are anonymous?
When we talk about sex, we talk about womanhood and motherhood, infidelity and exploitation, consent and respect, fairness and egalitarianism, love and hate, pleasure and pain. And yet so many of us don't talk about it at all.
In this groundbreaking book, Gillian Anderson collects and introduces the anonymous sexual fantasies of women from around the world (along with her own anonymous submission). They are all extraordinary: full of desire, fear, intimacy, shame, satisfaction and, ultimately, liberation. From dreaming about someone off-limits to conjuring a scene with multiple partners, from sex that is gentle and tender to passionate and playful, from women who have never had sex to women who have had more sex than they can remember, these fantasies provide a window into the most secret part of our minds.
Want reveals how women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally themselves.
Almost Nothing Happened
Paris. August. One long summer of nothing. 48 hours of everything. From the inimitable Meg Rosoff comes a chaotic and irresistible new YA.
17-year-old Callum is facing an unfortunate truth: his summer exchange in rural France was a failure. No epic adventure, no summer fling, and his French is still rubbish. Just as he should be boarding the Eurostar home, without even a hint of a plan, Callum impulsively decides to stay (and doesn't bother telling his parents).
He only knows one person in Paris: his long-lost cousin, Harrison, an oboist. As night falls on the hottest weekend of the year, an adventure begins - involving a motorbike, a curfew, a stolen oboe, a priceless Matisse painting, at least one police chase, a climate protest and the enigmatic, alluring, irresistible Lilou …
A completely delicious, funny, fast-paced summer read from the multi-award-winning author of How I Live Now, The Great Godden and Friends Like These.

Not Part of the Plan - Blue Moon 4
Welcome back to the quirky, romantic small town of Blue Moon Bend: home to this enticing romantic comedy series from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over and the fan-favourite Riley Thorn books.
***
A sexy and adorable romantic comedy between a steadfast LA girl turned small-town sweetheart and the bad boy photographer who's nothing but trouble...until he isn't.
"He's the kind of man who would talk you into dropping your panties in a coat closet at a party, dole out orgasms like after-dinner mints, and then never call you again."
Photographer Nikolai Vulkov is a love 'em and leave 'em bad boy with a leather jacket, motorcycle, and sexy-as-sin grin.
He is not Emma Merrill's type. The feisty brewery manager isn't impressed by Niko's charm or his "no strings attached" offer. She's the kind of girl a man settles down with. And the small town of Blue Moon is where she and her sisters have decided to put down roots.
In Niko's experience, relationships only lead to heartache. Besides, he's only in town until he finds a way to get his creative mojo back. He and Emma are completely wrong for each other. Even the matchmaking Beautification Committee agrees. They should definitely stay in the friend zone.
Okay. So maybe they gave in to their attraction that one time. Fine. Five times. Who's counting? But once Emma's ex-boyfriend shows up in town, she'll come to her senses, and Niko will go back to New York. Right?
Lucy Score brings to life the "nosiest small town in upstate New York" in this charming and compelling romantic comedy - the fourth in a series of romcom romps through the small but lively town of Blue Moon Bend.

She deserved more. They all did. A gripping and emotional new suspense novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of This is Where it Ends.
A terrible accident. A horrible loss. A regrettable tragedy. That's all anyone in Fenix can talk about when a fire consumes the local high school, taking the life of a student. The town mourns, except who really knew-let alone cared about-Eden when she was alive? And why was she in the building that night?
Five teens each hold a piece of the truth about what happened. They also have their own secrets, secrets they will fight to protect with the same fury as the blaze that killed Eden. But silence is meant to be broken, and this story can't be extinguished…
All In - Full Tilt 2
From USA Today bestselling author Emma Scott comes the second book in the Full Tilt Duet - a poignant, angsty friends to lovers romance about love, loss and the moments of searing passion between.
***
"Love has no limits."
Reeling from her loss, Kacey Dawson is grieving and heartbroken, her addictive demons hauling her back into the alcohol-soaked abyss she worked so hard to crawl out of. Kacey teeters on the edge of oblivion, and must fight her way through the pain, build a new life for herself with her music, and somehow fulfil the promise she made to Jonah…one she feels is impossible to keep.
Theo Fletcher has a secret burning in his heart, one that he holds close, while he struggles to keep strong for his family that is falling apart. His mother's health is fragile and his father's disapproval is breaking him down. Theo is afraid if he follows his heart, he'll fail, and not just himself, but his brother who believed in him when no one else did.
Drawn together by their pain, Theo and Kacey slowly build a friendship, re-forge old ties, help each other to heal, and give one another the courage to reach for their dreams. Together, from the depths of grief and guilt, they learn to laugh again, to trust again, and quite possibly find something beautiful and lasting amid the shattered pieces of their broken hearts.
Part two of the Full Tilt Duet is a beautiful and angsty contemporary romance story about what it takes to mend a broken heart - the grief, the acceptance, and ultimately the joy at the newfound love that takes the place of earth-shattering loss.

The Curse That Binds - The Bewitched Series 3
Before there was Selene, there was Roxilana. Her love fated, her life doomed, and her story forgotten – until now.
When Roxilana hears a voice inside her head, she believes she’s gone mad. This voice, Memnon, claims he is her god-touched soul mate, one who has the ability to wield magic. Not only that, but he believes Roxilana possesses magic, too.
Wild though his claims are, Roxilana realises Memnon speaks the truth. First, her power Awakens. Then, Memnon, King of the Sarmatians, shows up at her door in Rome, proclaims her as his wife, and takes her to his homeland.
Roxilana’s fate is everything she hoped for. But there are things Memnon didn’t tell her – about his magic, life as a Sarmatian, and what she, as queen, will have to endure. And as she soon learns, nothing is as dangerous as love and power. While the combination can build empires and legacies, it is capable of destroying everything and everyone in its path. And if Roxilana and Memnon are not careful, it could destroy them along with it.
The Curse That Binds offers a rich and steamy romantasy tale set before Bewitched and Bespelled, making it perfect for long-time series fans and newcomers alike.
