She crossed the sea to become Henry VIII’s queen. Instead, she became something far more dangerous: a woman who refused to die for a king.

When Anne of Cleves arrives in England to marry the notorious Henry VIII, she expects duty, obedience, and a crown. What she does not expect is the king’s immediate revulsion toward her - or the deadly atmosphere of the Tudor court, where queens who fail are discarded, disgraced, or destroyed.

Surrounded by whispers of execution and haunted by the fates of the women who came before her, Anne quickly understands the peril she faces. To fight for the crown is to risk her life. To surrender it may cost her everything she was raised to believe she must be.

In a court where survival is never accidental, Anne of Cleves makes an unthinkable choice: she agrees to her own annulment. But this is not defeat. It is strategy. By becoming the king’s “beloved sister,” Anne secures wealth, independence, and the one thing no other wife of Henry VIII achieved - her freedom.

From the treacherous splendor of the Tudor court to the quiet power of a life reclaimed, this intimate historical novel restores the voice of a woman history dismissed as merely “lucky.” Anne of Cleves was not lucky. She was brilliant. And she won by knowing when to walk away.

Perfect for readers who love Tudor historical fiction, strong heroines, and clean, character-driven stories about women who survived history on their own terms. Meant to be a short escape, this book is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone.

'Flays the political moment. At all levels, it is a blast' Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby

'Brimming with acidic humour . . . perfect for fans of A Certain Hunger and Boy Parts. Murder Bimbo is surely going to be the book everyone is talking about in 2026' Jessie Elland, The Ladie Upstairs

I'm a 32-year-old sex worker who just killed a politician. Please, please, please turn me into a feminist anti-hero . . .

A 32-year-old sex worker has just killed extremist political hopeful Meat Neck. Holed up in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods, she now has only two days, her wits and a high-speed internet connection to save her own life.

Her best bet is to reach out to the wildly popular feminist investigative podcast Justice for Bimbos. In a hastily-typed series of emails, the newly-minted "Murder Bimbo" explains how she was recruited and then trained by a cabal of code-named US agents to take out Meat Neck.

But, when she starts a new set of emails, this time addressed to her ex-girlfriend, we begin to realize that Murder Bimbo might not be the unsuspecting cog she claims to be.

In a time where 'truth' is more flexible than ever before - who really is Murder Bimbo? And what will she do next?

Introducing an unforgettable character for our times: hyper-articulate, totally untrustworthy, politically murky, charmingly petty, and wholly egotistical - this is . . . MURDER BIMBO.

*Featured in Stylist 2026 fiction: books everyone will be talking about next year*

'Murder Bimbo is Gone Girl for the Luigi Mangione era, and Rebecca Novack is one of our funniest and most acerbic new writers' Catherine Lacey, author of Biography of X

'Fun, layered, and loaded with wit. Murder Bimbo is a romp through the American political landscape, infused with a propulsive plot and a voice that shouts right from the page. Impossible to put down' Jodie Matthews, author of Meet Me at the Surface

'I devoured this sharp and acidic romp of a thriller, with its deliciously dark and unreliable narrator. Intriguing, compelling, beguiling - I was completely at the mercy of our slippery heroine, and loved every minute of it. Gloriously, riotously unhinged' Emma van Straaten, author of This Immaculate Body

'What a ride! A self-mythologizing, feminist heroine for our awful age, a political assassination, and lesbian longing - I did not want this bloody clever and acerbic novel to end' Charlotte Vassell, author of The Other Half

'Refreshing, raw and radically funny' Christine Anne Foley, Kate O'Brien Award shortlisted author of Bodies

Perhaps one reason not enough people kill billionaires is it’s actually quite tricky...

An electrifying, ultra-contemporary heist, a wild and hilarious story that is also dangerously prescient.

When her home is destroyed in wildfires, fourteen-year-old Australian outback genius Kayla Connolly decides to hunt down the culprits of climate change: billionaires.

She teams up with Mr P, a giant ex-soldier from Tuvalu whose home is being flooded by rising sea levels. Together, they find ingenious ways to kill a property developer building on protected wetlands and a mining company CEO poisoning the earth with toxic chemicals. They also find an unexpected ally in Nancy, a wealthy elderly woman with a shocking past.

The trio’s mission soon develops a life of its own, taking them first to California to crack billionaire tech bros and then to London for superrich oil executives, spawning a global movement along the way. In pursuit are the FBI and Detective Sergeant Kate Anderson of Scotland Yard, but Kate is having doubts about whether Kayla is even in the wrong. Will Kayla be able to stay ahead of the game and pull off one final, remarkable hit?

Preorder the BRAND NEW laugh-out-loud, feel-good read for ladies of a certain age! 👓 📚🍷

'Uplifting, funny, poignant, resonant, this is a pacy tale of friendship, frolics and solidarity.' Judy Leigh

Welcome to the Widows’ Book Club, where the wine flows freely and the gossip is irresistible…

Janet, Viv and Zelda’s monthly meet-ups have been a safe haven over the past few years: a chance to share life’s ups and downs and laugh their way through widowhood with a glass of wine in hand. But when Janet’s old flame Lewis walks back into her life – still charming, still handsome, and still very much married to his formidable wife Christobel – the widows find themselves caught up in unexpected drama.

Keen to show they are as cultured as Lewis and Christobel’s other friends, Janet fibs that the widows have a book club. So they set one up. But when Christobel demands she join and then promptly starts to take over, real life becomes much messier (and more exciting) than fiction…

What will this next chapter bring for them all?

A warm and witty tale of friendship, rivalry, love and second chances – perfect for anyone who knows a book club is about so much more than just the books!

A BRAND-NEW romantic, Spring getaway read from bestseller Jennifer Bohnet ❤️✨ Perfect for the fans of Jill Mansell and Fern Britton.☀️🏝️

Can a grieving chef and a group of writers find their own happy endings?

Eight months after his wife Jacqueline died in a tragic car accident, Michelin stared chef and proprietor of Villa Celestia, Guy Lyon’s life has been in freefall. Consumed by grief and plagued by questions as to why she was in a taxi that fateful day, the doors to Villa Celestia have remained closed.

When a good friend, Sandy Thoreau, asks to rent the villa on the French Riviera for a fortnight to hold a women’s writers retreat after being let down, Guy reluctantly agrees.

All the women at the retreat are looking forward to being inspired. Helena and her friend Mandy are writing debut novels, Isobel is editing a cosy crime story, Liz is desperate to kickstart a new book, self-published author Lorraine is looking for advice and Becky, well Becky is a law unto herself.

Over the course of the next fortnight, two of these women will change the course of Guy’s life forever and new chapters - hopefully with happy endings - will begin for all of them.
