A Dance with the Fae Prince
Cinderella meets THE CRUEL PRINCE in this standalone fantasy romance about a human girl and her marriage to the prince of the fae.
She knew her hand in marriage would be sold. She had no idea a fae prince was the buyer.
Katria swore she'd never fall in love. She's seen what 'love' means through the cruelty of her family. So when she's married off to the mysterious Lord Fenwood for a handsome price, all Katria wants is a better life than the one she's leaving. Feelings are off the table.
But her new husband makes not falling in love difficult.
As their attraction begins to grow, so too do the oddities within her new life: strange rules, screams in the night, and attacks by fae that Katria never thought were real. When she witnesses a ritual not meant for human eyes, Katria finds herself spirited away to the land of Midscape.
Surviving the fae wilds as a human is hard enough. Katria must survive as a human who accidently pilfered the magic of ancient kings - magic a bloodthirsty king is ready to kill her for in order to keep his stolen throne - and her new husband is the rightful heir in hiding.
The power to save the fae is in her hands. But who will save her from a love she vowed never to feel?
A Dance with the Fae Prince is a *standalone novel* inspired by the tales of Psyche and Eros, as well as Cinderella, with a happily ever after ending. It's perfect for romantic fantasy readers who enjoyed of A Court of Silver Flames and An Enchantment of Ravens. A Dance with the Fae Prince features a slow-burn romance, swoon-worthy couple, and steaminess that ranges from simmering to sizzling.

The Burnout
Number One bestselling author Sophie Kinsella returns with an irresistible new standalone in which opposites most certainly attract...
Our heroine is exhausted, burned out and has been sent off by her mum to do some R&R, off-season, in the picturesque Devon holiday resort they always went to as a family. The first day, she is practically the only guest at the hotel and has the beach to herself.
But then another professional turns up. He is also burned out, has also come back to his childhood holiday haunt, and, like her, has rented one of the hotel's decrepit beach huts for use during the day.
Neither is pleased to have company and they insist on being placed at opposite ends of the row of empty huts.
However, they can't avoid each other - even when they're the only two people on the beach - and disagree on their methods of overcoming burnout. (Her- wild swimming / yoga / manifesting/secretly stuffing her face with chocolates. Him- drinking whisky.)
They ignore/spar with each other - until one day a message appears on the sand overnight. It reads- 'To the couple on the beach- thank you.' The following night another message appears- 'To the couple on the beach- thank you'. And a date.
It dawns on them that they are the 'couple'. But who is thanking them and why? They are drawn together to find out.

Humphrey anxiously heeds their advice until the day he bumps into Princess Jean (PJ) in the park. An adventurer through and through, PJ tells him tales of all her antics and mishaps.

Nespoutaná Aljaška
Když byly Calle dva roky, odstěhovala se do Toronta se svou matkou, která si nedokázala zvyknout na způsob života na Aljašce. Od té doby Calla svého otce neviděla. Dnes je jí dvacet šest let a žije typický velkoměstský život. Jednoho dne ji kontaktuje otcova kamarádka a sdělí jí, že je otec vážně nemocný. Calla se rozhodne po letech vrátit do rodného města.
Vydává se na cestu, která jí v mnoha ohledech otevře oči – na Aljašce pozná úplně jiný život, než na jaký byla zvyklá. Život, který je svým způsobem velmi prostý, ale rozhodně ne jednoduchý.
Jonah, talentovaný bush pilot a pravá ruka jejího otce, si neumí představit, že by se z Aljašky odstěhoval. O Calle, dívce z města, nemá vysoké mínění. Je přesvědčený, že je tak rozmazlená a zhýčkaná pohodlím, že se s životem v divočině nedokáže vypořádat. Přesto mezi nimi navzdory původním antipatiím postupem času vzniká přátelství. Nebo se snad jedná o nějaký hlubší cit?

Protože nemá co ztratit a netouží po návratu na Zemi, rozhodne se se svým týmem prozkoumat situaci.
Jejich objev je šokující: Aurora, slavná luxusní kosmická loď, která před více než dvaceti lety zmizela při své první cestě sluneční soustavou. Takové nálezné by mohlo Claire a její posádku zajistit na celý život. Rychlá prohlídka lodi však odhalí, že něco není v pořádku.
Šepot ve tmě. Záblesky pohybu. Vzkazy načmárané krví. Claire musí bojovat, aby si udržela zdravý rozum a zjistila, co se na Auroře skutečně stalo, než ji a její posádku potká stejně strašidelný osud.

Turkiye
On the eve of its centenary year and elections that will shape the coming generations, Julian Emre Sayarer sets out to cycle across Türkiye, from the Aegean coast to the Armenian border.
Meeting Turkish farmers and workers, Syrian refugees and Russians avoiding conscription, the journey brings to life a living, breathing, cultural tapestry of the place where Asia, Africa and Europe converge. The result is a love letter to a country and its neighbours - one that offers a clear-eyed view of Türkiye and its place in a changing world. Yet the route is also marked by tragedy, as Sayarer cycles along a major fault line just months before one of the most devastating earthquakes in the region's modern history.
Always engaged with the big historical and political questions that inform so much of his writing, Sayarer uses his bicycle and the roadside encounters it allows to bring everything back to the human level. At the end of his journey we are left with a deeper understanding of the country, as well as the essential and universal nature of political power, both in Türkiye and closer to home.
Hauntings
For longer than recorded history there have been tales of spirits and of places where our hackles rise and our skin turns cold.
Bestselling historian Neil Oliver travels the British Isles on a deliciously spine-chilling tour that spans several centuries and explores more than 20 sites - castles, vicarages and towers, lonely shorelines and forgotten battlefields - to unpick their stories..
Oliver invokes his family's history alongside that of kings and queens past as he probes why our emotions and senses are heightened in certain locations where the separation between dimensions seems gossamer thin. Our landscape is riven with these places, creaking from the weight of the secrets they hold, the echoes of tragedy and dark deeds . From Inverness to Devon, Co Dublin to Norfolk, Hauntings casts an enjoyably eerie glow with stories that, told generation after generation, are inextricable from place - and considers why they matter.
