Taming the Alpha
She trained to save lives. But the one she inherited might just save her. Caitlin Spring is laser-focused on her dream: finish pre-med, become a doctor, and build a life on logic—not loss. But when her beloved grandfather dies unexpectedly, everything changes. Instead of a summer of studying, Caitlin finds herself the new owner of the Spring Wildlife Sanctuary deep in the Montana wilderness. And standing between her and the future is Jake Blackwell—the sanctuary’s brooding caretaker and the alpha werewolf her grandfather trusted with everything. Once the childhood protector who helped Caitlin survive her parents’ death, Jake is now all rugged edges and commanding growls. And he’s not exactly thrilled to see her back. To him, Caitlin’s a threat—an outsider who doesn’t understand the delicate balance between humans, shifters, and the land they protect. But Caitlin isn’t the little girl he remembers. She’s determined to honor her grandfather’s legacy… even if it means clashing with the alpha who once made her feel safe. As sanctuary debt mounts and sparks fly, Caitlin must choose between the life she’s planned—or the one she never saw coming, beside a man who guards more than just the land. In the heart of the wild, love might be the most untamed force of all. Taming the Alpha is a gripping paranormal romance with second chances, small-town secrets, age gap, and a sanctuary where hearts—and wolves—run wild.

Rule of Lies
'This book is NUTS! – in the best possible way. A relentless roller coaster ride through the heaven and hell of modern Russia' PETER POMERANZEV 'Written with all the pace and energy of a John Grisham novel … An incredible true story and a great read!' BILL BROWDER 'An astonishing glimpse into a rollercoaster life. A real page-turner' CATHERINE BELTON 'If you want to know how Putin ruined Russia and to understand why it matters, you should read Rule of Lies' OLIVER BULLOUGH 'Jamison Firestone is a legend … his book is a remarkable firsthand account' FIONA HILL An American lawyer’s brilliant, propulsive story of witnessing and playing a part in the transformation of Russia under Yeltsin and Putin. A true tale of fascinating personalities, criminal intrigue, harrowing situations, audacious actions and international politics that combines Bill Browder’s Red Notice with Michael Lewis’s Liar's Poker. Raised by his father, a multimillionaire conman and crack addict who owned Manhattan’s most expensive brothel, twenty-four-year-old Jamison R. Firestone decided to change the channel. He graduated from law school in 1991 and sought his fortune in Gorbachev’s USSR, establishing Russia’s first independent foreign law firm. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, Jamison lived in the maelstrom that was Russia, defending himself and his clients from mafia attacks, dealing with corrupt police officers, having his law office raided by armed commandos, and once having to bug the offices of the Russian police. Jamison was at the centre of some of Russia’s most important events. He employed Sergei Magnitsky who was murdered for uncovering the largest tax theft in Russian history and teamed up with Bill Browder and Alexei Navalny to expose his killers. Along the way he inadvertently taught Navalny to make videos exposing corruption and started a war with the Russian government over passage of the Magnitsky Acts which threatened to sanction Russia’s most powerful people. A real-life story that reads like a spy novel, Rule of Lies goes deep inside contemporary Russia and events that have reshaped the globe. Darkly comic, sometimes horrifying and deeply moving, it is a chilling warning of what can happen when a nascent democracy succumbs to one man’s corrupt iron rule, becoming not only an authoritarian nation but a profoundly criminal one—a true mafia state.
This Immortal Heart
From the #1 bestselling author comes an epic story of love and war as two opposing deities find themselves drawn to each other against all odds.

Though her world is one of beauty, she is the most dangerous god of all, ruled by passion regardless of the consequences.

And yet gods are no more immune to love and loss than anyone else, and soon their lives collide. But even divine love can't protect them from the fates of Mount Olympus, and whilst the God of War may be capable of greater love than anyone else, so may the Goddess of Love be capable of the gravest mistakes . . .

Big Baby
From comedian and TikTok star Kevin James Thornton comes a hilarious and heartfelt story of growing up in a Christian fundamentalist church, turning trauma into comedy, and finding your own way. ‘If you’re an outlier or feel like a total outsider, you’ll find aspects of yourself inside these pages.’ANNIE LENNOXGrowing up in the 90s in a small town in Indiana, Kevin James Thornton had little notion he would one day make a career as a comedian. Like most kids in his deeply Christian town, his free time revolved around his church community—drinking Messiah Macchiatos at the youth group cafe, bedazzling his jacket with the words “Jesus Is Lord,” and evangelizing in the streets of Spanish Harlem dressed as a sin-themed clown. But when he started to question his sexuality, life became complicated. Kevin began to realize that the community that raised him might never truly accept him. What follows is a winding story of self-discovery, following Thornton from a revelatory summer in New York City to the transformative years of college—where he finds like-minded people, a knack for performance, and first loves—all the way to adulthood, where he navigates complicated relationships, finds his way into the comedy scene, and forms a special bond with a black cat named Comet (who might just have the power to travel between dimensions). Through it all, he redefines himself again and again, realizing that few things go as planned, and that “driving off into the sunset” is never really the end of the story. Told in his unique brand of brash but emotionally honest humor, and filled with 90s nostalgia, Big Baby is a coming-of-age tale that speaks to anyone who feels like they don’t fit in.

Render plunges the reader into the vibrant setting of Barcelona in the second half of the twentieth century. A compelling character study, the book is presented as the collected works of a fictional poet: Alberto Cenas, the lonely scion of a wealthy Catalan family. Taken individually, Render's poems offer piercing insights into the exuberance of youth, the disillusionment of early adulthood, inherited trauma, creativity, ageing and finality. Collectively, the book delivers the immersive experience of a concept album or an existentialist film, creating a complex portrait of a strange and sympathetic figure.
