Vernice and Annie, two motherless daughters raised in Honeysuckle, Louisiana, have been best friends and neighbors since earliest childhood, but are fated to live starkly different lives. Raised by a fierce aunt determined to give her a stable home in the wake of her mother’s death, Vernice leaves Atlanta at eighteen for Spelman College, where she joins a sisterhood of powerfully connected Black women and marries into an affluent family. Annie, abandoned by her dissolute mother as a child, and fixated on the idea of finding her and filling the bottomless hole left by her absence, sets off on a journey that will take her into a world of peril and adversity, as well as love and adventure, and culminate in a battle for her life.

A Thousand Perfect Lies


Secrets don't die. They just transfer schools. New York native Billie Vale arrives at Wickham Academy, England's most elite boarding school, with a forged identity as Belinda Winters and one mission: clear her sister's name. Isla lies in a coma, accused of killing her best friend. Billie has one shot to uncover the truth in a school built on privilege and deception. Succeed, and her estranged father will finally help her mother. Fail, and it will tear what's left of her family apart. But Wickham's secrets run deep, and not everyone wants them exposed. The school's golden prince and its brooding outcast both seem to know more than they'll admit and both have reasons to keep Billie close. As she digs into the lies that built Wickham's empire, she discovers that loyalty is just another currency, every hallway hides a motive, and everyone here protects their own at any cost. But someone at Wickham knows what really happened… And they'll bury Billie before they let her find out.

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.

What Am I, A Deer?


What does it mean to lose yourself – and is that something you should be aiming for? A young woman with little interest in games takes up a job in Frankfurt at a famous gaming company, naively set on reinvention. On her morning commute, in the familiar clutches of tedium and self-loathing, she encounters a nice-eyed stranger who returns her forgotten umbrella and finds herself catapulted into a dizzying, year-long whirlwind of obsession – not just with this endlessly attractive spectre, but also with the feverish karaoke trips from which she draws the ultimate solace. With astonishing existential acuity, Polly Barton’s formidable debut novel renders the paradoxes of modern life in all its complexity, in deliriously self-conscious prose that is at once propulsive, titillating and bitingly funny. Echoing with the sounds of Whitney Houston and The Cure, reaching for the sublime in dark, sweaty boxes, What Am I, A Deer? is an exhilarating exploration of authenticity, fantasy, romance and intoxication.
