Even Beyond Death
'The storytelling is so addictive. This is sexy, witty, tense and touching - a terrific achievement' Patrick Gale'Even Beyond Death is a remarkable achievement - passionate, witty, and moving. A smart, spirited and highly original historical novel, written with tremendous flair, humour and compassion' Antonia Hodgson'Prepare to be seduced. Even Beyond Death is a ravishingly flamboyant, risqué delight of a novel. This liaison dangereuse is an exquisite romance - but beware a broken heart' Essie Fox'A feast of a book. Witty and bright. The tonic I needed with an addictive love story at its heart. Readers will be swept away by it' Molly Aitken'Like the wicked child of Fleabag and Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Knowing, hilarious, tragic and lust-filled - a gripping gay love story with a touchingly tender heart beneath the plumed hats and codpieces' Sofka ZinovieffIt is 1657, and 24-year-old Marquis Jehan de Baudelaire - Avignon's most striking and sought-after bachelor - is in desperate need of a wife, an heir, and, most urgently, a new valet. Enter Jonathan Kryk, a vision of breath-taking beauty. Despite his immense wealth and high status, Jehan finds himself ensnared by the rigid constraints of his era and social rank. His longing for the man who tends to him daily, who dresses and bathes him, remains an impossible dream. Spies lurk everywhere - can he trust anyone in his household, even his own family? The ever-watchful eyes of God and the law put him in immense danger. Lavish and steamy, mischievous and dramatic, Even Beyond Death is the story of a man in love. Not for him a history of military battles and political allegiance, royalty and lineage. With the aid of his disapproving scribe, Jehan wishes to record a memoire of love and tenderness: a 'catalogue of desire'. Fiona Melrose's daring new novel is a passionate and heart-wrenching tale of the sacrifices we make for true love.

We Are Each Other
'This raw and fearless exploration of life, loss and mostly love - it is totally unforgettable.' Elle's Most Hyped Books of 2026'Beautifully written' - Telegraph'Stunning, lyrical and deeply felt.' Clover StroudWe Are Each Other tells Jess' story of becoming a mother while losing her own to a sudden terminal diagnosis. It's about loss, yes, but at its core it's about how we love when we are living on the threshold of life and death with someone central to our being and place in the world. Jess' mother was the beloved Tessa Jowell MP. She lived a public life, but this is not the story of a public person - it's the story of a mother and daughter, walking both sides of life and death together. The writing began as a way to metabolise her own experience, it tells the story of the way they loved, the way Jess grieved, and the way she renewed in that life-defining year. But the long and enduring journey of completing it over several years sharpened and galvanised its ultimate purpose to be about so much more than Jess and Tessa. It is ultimately for anyone who has loved and lost someone at the centre of their world and identity. That is its purpose: to give language and greater articulation to this most universal human experience.

Flesh
Choose yourself. Reclaim your body. Become whole. The deeply personal and uniquely empowering call to arms from author, model and activist, Charli Howard. 'Powerful and incredibly validating' Lily Reinhart'Extraordinary' Glamour 'Fierce and tender' Yrsa Daley-Ward 'Urgent and timely' Emma Louise-BoyntonIn this urgent and powerful series of essays, author and activist Charli Howard explores how society has objectified the female body throughout time. Through analysing her own body, one piece at a time, Charli charts the impact of long-term sexual objectification and misogyny on the female body, and shows how to reclaim it for yourself and, eventually, truly love it as your own. Through personal reflection and social analysis, she reminds us why we must give ourselves grace when assessing our own bodies, as we are so often viewing them through a lens corrupted long before we were born. Flesh is an unmissable exploration of what it means to be a woman in the twenty-first century.
Honoured
'A remarkable book that sees, speaks up and breaks the silence . . . profoundly moving' ELIF SHAFAK, OBSERVER'The most extraordinary and thought-provoking memoir by any MP in recent times' ANDREW MARRThe inspiring and moving story of a young British Muslim woman coming of age against the odds and discovering the power of her own voice. 'The most unusual and shocking story of a standing MP I have ever read . . . Thank the stars for Naz Shah, a true heroine of our times' LEMN SISSAY'An astounding story of courage and resilience. I couldn't put it down' MONICA ALIBy the age of five, Naz Shah was used to the sight of her father beating her mother. At six, her father left the family for a teenage neighbour. At twelve, she was sent to Pakistan for protection from her mother's new abuser, only to be forced into marriage at the age of fifteen. Within a couple of years, her mother would be in prison, jailed for murdering the man who had subjected her to years of physical and sexual torture, and Naz and her two younger siblings would be left to fend for themselves. For years, Naz campaigned alongside Southall Black Sisters for her mother's release and was instrumental in achieving a reduction in her life sentence. Sustained by the ever-increasing strength of her Islamic faith and guided by its values of justice and compassion, she found purpose in the fight for her family and for others who had been silenced. In 2015, she was elected to Parliament, overturning George Galloway's majority to win back Bradford West for the Labour Party in one of the most momentous battles of the campaign. In serving the very community that once turned its back on her, she has transformed betrayal into leadership. In Honoured, Naz reveals how growing up against almost impossible odds lit the fire that still drives her today. This is the unflinching account of a young British Muslim woman coming of age and discovering the power of her own voice. An inspiring story of survival, faith and political awakening, it charts the making of an activist determined to speak out, stand up and claim space in a world that rarely offers it. 'Naz Shah is a brave, bright beacon of hope and her story is a must read. It will stay with you for a very long time' LORRAINE KELLY'A genuinely riveting account of a remarkable life so far. It is sad and shocking, but also inspiring and uplifting' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL

Pán Masters
Je mocný, starší a je to môj šéf. Vražedná kombinácia.
Výraz spokojnosť v práci pri ňom nadobúda úplne nový význam.
Keď som klamala vo svojom životopise, nečakala som, že na tom bude záležať.
Veď každé dieťa ma jednoducho musí milovať. Narodila som sa pre to, aby som bola opatrovateľkou. Navyše, keď som sa uchádzala o miesto, myslela som si, že budem pracovať pre ženu. Lenže Julian Masters je poriadny kus chlapa... presne ten typ, o ktorom snívate, že z neho zlížete čokoládu.
Prvý deň bol zlý.
Deti boli ako sto čertov a ja som ho prichytila, ako robí niečo obscénne... a zároveň fascinujúce.
Druhý deň bol ešte horší.
Prichytil ma, ako snorím v jeho kúpeľňovej skrinke v krátkom pyžamku a rozpútalo sa peklo.
Na tretí deň...
... som ho prešla golfovým vozíkom.
No a na štvrtý deň...
... som sa rozhodla, že mám chuť na čokoládu... horúcu a roztopenú... na ňom.
Lenže inteligentní, ovdovení sudcovia sa nezvyknú zamilovať do bláznivých opatrovateliek. Alebo žeby predsa?
Krvavý erb, 2. vydanie
Obľúbená autorka historických romancí Jana Pronská nám vo svojom ôsmom románe približuje dramatické obdobie našich stredovekých dejín a na jeho pozadí rozohráva strhujúci príbeh o úkladoch, pomste a neľútostnom zápase o moc, ale predovšetkým o sile pravej lásky, za ktorú sa oplatí bojovať.
Eliz Zachovej, dcére veľmoža Feliciána Zacha, život doprial milujúcu rodinu, bohatého ctiteľa, privilegované postavenie, bohatstvo. Za jeden deň však prišla o všetko. Keď v kráľovskom paláci znásilnili jej sestru, zúfalý otec s mečom v ruke zaútočil na kráľa. Feliciána, ktorého pri útoku zabili, kráľ vyhlásil za vlastizradcu a jeho zneuctenú dcéru i ostatných príbuzných dal popraviť. Pre Eliz, ktorá len vďaka šťastnej náhode zostala nažive, sa začal boj o holý život.
Dominika Omodeja stihol podobný osud. Pred rokmi sa zachránil ako jediný mužský potomok kedysi mocného rodu, ktorý sa kráľ rozhodol vyhubiť, a stal sa vyvrheľom -- zbojníkom Zoranom. Zmariť kráľovu pomstu voči Zachovcom je preňho vecou cti, no keď sa podujme Eliz zachrániť, neráta s tým, že odvážnej dievčine sa podarí obmäkčiť jeho zatvrdnuté srdce, v ktorom dovtedy nebolo miesto pre lásku...

Profesionálny vyjednávač
Vyjednávanie je súčasťou nášho každodenného života – v priemere vyjednávame osemkrát denne, aj keď si to
často ani neuvedomujeme. A zvyčajne pri tom platí jednoduché pravidlo: ak nevyjednávame my, niekto iný vy-
jednáva za nás – a ak niekto iný vyjednáva za nás, šanca, že dostaneme to, čo skutočne chceme a potrebujeme,
dramaticky klesá.
Autor v knihe odhaľuje, ako preniesť princípy krízového policajného vyjednávania do každodenného bežného
života, či do sveta obchodu a podnikania, kde sú v hre peniaze, reputácia a udržateľné, dlhodobé vzťahy.
Zároveň ukazuje, že precízne použitie mäkkých zručností prináša rukolapné a merateľné výsledky.
Kniha je jedinečná v tom, že spája svet policajného „miesta činu“ s realitou biznis rokovaní. Odhaľuje stratégie,
mentálne protokoly a psychologické princípy, ktoré zvyšujú pravdepodobnosť dosiahnutia dohody aj tam, kde by
sa zdalo, že dohoda už nie je možná. V centre pozornosti stojí rešpektujúci mentálny koučing – disciplína, ktorá
mení vyjednávanie z taktického súboja na produktívnu sociálnu interakciu plnú empatie a racionálnej stratégie.
Profesionálny vyjednávač však nie je iba kniha o technikách. Je to aj pozvánka do sveta, kde sa z rokovaní stáva
umenie – umenie, ktoré mení nielen výsledky, ale aj človeka, ktorý ich dosahuje.

Malé mesto, v ktorom každoročne zmizne tucet ľudí.

Miesto na perfektný zločin.
VITAJTE NA LUXUSNEJ VÝLETNEJ LODI!
Policajný psychológ Martin Schwartz prišiel pred piatimi rokmi za mysterióznych okolností o ženu a syna. Stalo sa to počas ich dovolenky na luxusnej zaoceánskej lodi Sultan of the Seas – nikto z posádky mu však nevedel vysvetliť, ako k tomu došlo. Martin je odvtedy psychicky na dne a vrhá sa ako utajený vyšetrovateľ do najnebezpečnejších policajných akcií, kde mu neraz ide o holý život.
Uprostred zásahu mu zatelefonuje čudácka stará dáma, ktorá sa predstaví ako autorka trilerov. Presviedča ho, že sa bezpodmienečne musí nalodiť na Sultána, pretože našla dôkaz, čo sa asi prihodilo jeho rodine. Martin sa zaprisahal, že nikdy nevkročí na loď.
Keď sa dozvie, že na lodi sa objavilo dievčatko s medvedíkom jeho syna v náručí, ktoré zmizlo pred niekoľkými mesiacmi, neváha a vyberie sa na loď.
