• The Friendly Girl’s Guide to Mating with a Werewolf (Mate Hunted Book 4)

    01
    I brought my friend’s housewarming present to the wrong place. A grumpy werewolf answered the door, and shifted into a massive wolf.

    Apparently, we’re mates.

    And apparently, my mate doesn’t like cake.

    Who doesn’t like cake?

    Sugary goodness aside, he’s bitter and jaded.

    I’m… well, the opposite.

    So when he says he doesn’t want to be with me, I give him space.

    But for some reason, he can’t stay away.

    He wants me more than he wants to, and as long as he’s treating me right, I’m not going to turn him away.

    Because he says he doesn’t want a partner, but honestly?

    I think he’s lying to both of us.

  • The Future of Fraud (The FUTURES Series)

    Fraud is BIG business – in this latest edition to the FUTURES series, find out the new (and old) ways fraudsters are targeting us, what future technological threats await, and how we can protect ourselves.

    Humans have been ripping each other off since they first discovered the concept of lying but in 300 BC, the first ever official record of a fraud case was made. A merchant in Greece took out an insurance policy, borrowed money and planned to sink his boat. Unfortunately for him, things did not go according to plan. Since then, fraud has become more complex and harder to detect, as technology has evolved. So how can we protect ourselves now and in the future, and what new dangers do we need to be looking out for?

    Deeply researched and littered with expert testimony, The Future of Fraud will explore interesting fraud cases past and present, and expose how the technology we depend upon today is also perfectly poised to exploit us: from social media, the dark web and gaming, to cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. And as well as parting us from our money, fraud is eroding the trust between humans and the state, and between each other.

    The only way to tackle the fraud epidemic, argues Holmes, is head on, via education, language, technology and regulation. We need everyone to understand the dangers and have protections in place to stop the bad guys. Are we fighting a losing battle, or can we make the future a safer place for everyone?

  • The Hunger Code: Resetting Your Body’s Fat Thermostat in the Age of Ultra-Processed Food (Audio Download): Dr. Jason Fung, Brian Nishii, Audible Studios: Amazon.co.uk: Books

    THE SEQUEL TO THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLER THE OBESITY CODE

    “Jason Fung nails it again in The Hunger Code. This book clearly and compellingly explains why most Americans are overweight and gives us a concise, evidence-based way to manage our weight with as little hunger as possible.”—Dan Buettner, New York Times bestselling author of The Blue Zones

    The Obesity Code helped thousands of people lose weight naturally.

    The Hunger Code will help thousands more lose weight—and keep it off—in an era of weight-loss drugs and ultra-processed foods…without counting calories.

    For generations, we’ve accepted the story that weight loss can never last—that as soon as we go off the diet or stop taking the medication, we revert to our old habits, regain the weight, and the calorie-counting journey starts all over again. Traditional medicine continues to treat the symptom of weight gain rather than addressing its root causes. Too often, healthcare systems intervene with quick fixes and short-term solutions, ignoring the factors that lead to sustainable weight loss that can last a lifetime.

    What if the secret to long-term weight maintenance and better health isn’t just about what you eat—or even when you eat—but why you eat?

    With the food industry’s reliance on ultra-processed foods and the popularity of Ozempic and Mounjaro, understanding the forces behind why we eat is more important than ever before.

    In The Hunger Code, New York Times bestselling author Dr. Jason Fung reveals the three powerful forces that drive us to eat:

    – Physical Hunger

    – Emotional Hunger

    – Social Hunger

    Dr. Fung also introduces the concept of the body’s “fat thermostat”—a biological “set point” that regulates how much fat your body tries to maintain. Guided by hormones and metabolism, this internal system drives hunger and energy use, explaining why lasting weight loss requires more than just willpower …

    With three Golden Rules and 50 actionable tips, The Hunger Code empowers you to recognize and respond to hunger appropriately. Learn how to slow digestion, break emotional eating cycles, and overcome social pressures to eat constantly, so you can maintain a healthy weight—from scratch, after fasting, or after using weight-loss drugs.

    Deep beneath the sprawling streets of LA, in forgotten storm drains and abandoned subway tunnels, something ancient and monstrous is breeding. The homeless are disappearing without a trace, dragged screaming into the dark by huge, carnivorous nutria rats that have evolved into a perfect killing swarm.

    At first, the authorities dismiss the reports, but they realise it’s happening again. It’s the nightmares from New York and London on their doorstep. Body parts begin surfacing in flood channels. CCTV captures shadows moving too fast to be real. Until the first attack happens above ground… in broad daylight.

    As the nest swells into the millions, the city becomes a feeding ground.

    Hospitals, malls, underground car parks, movie theatres, nowhere is safe. The rats are no longer hiding. They are hunting.

    With Los Angeles teetering on the brink of collapse, a small, desperate task force races to uncover the nest behind the infestation. But the deeper they dig, the more horrific the answers become. The Covenant of the Nest are back and it’s a disaster.

    This is weaponised evolution.

    Relentless, brutal, and terrifyingly fast-paced, The Nest: Los Angeles plunges readers into a nightmare where survival is measured in seconds, and the darkness beneath the city is alive with teeth.

    Millions of rats. One city. No escape.

  • The Next World War: The new age of global conflict and the fight to stop it

    “Incredibly well sourced… One of the most plugged-in voices in modern warfare” – THE TELEGRAPH

    “Reads like a real-life geopolitical thriller … The fact it doesn’t feel like scaremongering says a lot about the state of the world” – Jonn Elledge, author of A History of the World in 47 Borders

    The Next World War takes readers behind the scenes of the most dangerous era of international tensions since the end of the Cold War, as countries and military forces prepare for potential large-scale combat on a scale unseen since 1945.

    From the corridors of power in Washington, Whitehall, Moscow and Beijing to the new frontlines of conflict in Ukraine, Taiwan, cyberspace and even the far side of the moon, Peter Apps unflinchingly explores the fault lines where global peace is already starting to unravel.

    Featuring the voices of the commanders, diplomats and technologists already shaping history, as well as the nervous conscripts and ordinary people directly caught up in events, The Next World War examines the real-world effects of this new era of global confrontation. For some – including millions of citizens told to stockpile food and water and prepare for potential mass disruption – it still may not feel entirely real. But for Russia, China and their growing ‘axis of upheaval’, today’s conflicts represent a growing opportunity to reshape the world as they would like it – leading to potential disaster for the West if it cannot heed the warnings in time.

    From the return of Cold War-style atomic threats to new forms of sabotage and ‘hybrid warfare’, the battle for global dominance is already firmly underway. The Next World War is the book you need to understand the growing precariousness of our current situation – and the unending battle to stop it escalating past the point of no return.

    An unlikely team investigate a string of sinister murders. The only consistent detail? The killer wears a beret and is always accompanied by their own soundtrack—a slow, slinking tune that has been coined, The Creeping Jazz. Some say it’s cursed. Others say it’s catchy but everyone agrees it’s terrifying. The team must go up against a killer who can strike anywhere throughout time and make people dance to death.

    In their way will be an unreliable narrator, a Welsh busybody, the magic of hip-hop and the horror of never having enough stationary.

    For Dale Allen, a radio presenter with a low chat show survival rate, this is his breakthrough interview, with a band pushing a dangerous cultural phenomenon.

    For Lead Detective Michaels, it’s the case that could finally earn him that long-overdue promotion, assuming he can survive his meeting with the notorious surgeon and serial killer, Dr Karlous Kennedious.

    And for Charlie Blunderwedge, ex-erotic novelist turned reluctant consultant, it’s a chance to move away from writing naughty titivation and enter the big league of police procedure true crime fiction.

    Somewhere in the fogbound city, the truth waits in the shadows—wearing a beret and humming a tune that makes your bones itch.

  • The Official We Do Not Care Club Handbook: The funny, bold and empowering 2026 menopause book for those hot, hormonal and officially over it this New Year.

    Welcome to the We Do Not Care Club: where the bras are optional, the chin hairs are thriving, and the menopause meltdown is mutual.

    Do you wake up with night sweats at 3:26 am, overstimulated, furious at anything breathing (including yourself), wondering how you’re going to get through the next day without losing it at your kids/partner/co-workers?

    If you wish everyone would leave you alone, no longer care about bras that fit, clothes with buttons (elastic forever, baby), or cellulite anywhere then welcome to the We Do Not Care (WDNC) Club. You’re now a card-carrying member with an exclusive invite to the biggest hormonal party in town.

    This Club is for anyone in perimenopause and menopause who are over it. Here is a list* of things We Do Not Care about:

    • Shaved legs.
    • Half-painted big toenails.
    • Unplucked chin hair.
    • Wearing the same bra all week. Or wearing bras – full stop.
    • Wearing PJs all day. At least we have something on.
    • Being on time. Be happy that I showed up.
    • People who think we have a sh*tty attitude. That’s on them.
    • Cancelled plans. We didn’t want to go anywhere anyway.
    • What’s for dinner. If you’re hungry, do something about it yourself.
    • If you’re cold – don’t even think about touching the air conditioning.

    Melani Sanders, Founding Member of the We Do Not Care Club, is here to tell you that it’s ok – in fact welcomed – not to care. You’re not alone. We are all in the same boat, just out here trying to survive.

    This book is your life raft, girls. Let’s hold on for dear life – and get through this together.

  • The Other Side of Change: Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans (Audio Download): Maya Shankar, Maya Shankar, Penguin Audio: Amazon.co.uk: Books

    Brought to you by Penguin.

    An unexpected diagnosis.
    A breakup.
    A redundancy.

    When life throws a curveball, it can feel like we’re free-falling into the unknown. But what if upheaval was a chance to reimagine ourselves, rather than something to just endure?

    Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist, has spent decades researching the mind after an incident in her own life left her reeling. In this book, she shares the riveting stories of others who have gone through remarkable change, and weaves in scientific insights to illuminate universal lessons hidden within them.

    We see how the unique stresses and demands of being thrust into a new reality can lead us to uncover new abilities, perspectives and values, transforming us in extraordinary ways. Exploring our complex reactions to change, we’re invited to rethink our relationship with it altogether, and offered a deep well of wisdom we can draw from during these experiences.

    Whether you’re processing a past change, grappling with a present one, or bracing for a future one, this will help you discover who you can become on the other side of change.

  • The Other Side: Barzakh and Beyond

    People sometimes say, “I will see you on the other side.” But how certain can one be of this other plane of existence? Where exactly is that “other side”, and how can you be sure you will reach it? Everything begins with a fundamental truth: those whom we have buried from our loved ones are not truly dead. They have merely passed into a special realm known as the Barzakh, a stage of existence between this life and the Hereafter. In that world, the souls of the deceased continue to live: some in peace, others in torment. The souls of martyrs may dwell in the bodies of green birds, flying freely in Paradise, while others may suffer and drown in rivers of blood. Some are reunited with long-deceased loved ones in beautiful homes, while others are subject to terrifying punishment at the hand of the Angels. What is this realm? Who resides within it? And how does knowledge of this world affect the understanding of our current location? To reflect on the Barzakh is to reflect on our ultimate return to Allah and to reconsider the spiritual path we are on today in a world that is plagued with injustice and confusion.

  • The Parent’s Guide to Exam Stress: Practical, positive ways to support and motivate your child (Year 7 to GCSEs, A levels & more)

    ‘Written beautifully and, at its heart, very wise’ – Sam Wallace, the Daily Telegraph

    The ultimate guide to understanding why so many children experience problematic levels of stress at school today, and what we – as parents – can do to support them at home.

    Katharine Radice draws on her training in child and adolescent development and 20+ years teaching in the classroom to provide you with practical advice, valuable insights and effective strategies to support your child through exams and assessments from KS3 to A level.

    The teenage years are a swirl of trying to find an identity surrounded by other people’s expectations, so it’s no wonder pupils are feeling the pressure. It’s well known that teenage anxiety seems to be on the rise and it’s visibly present in classrooms today, especially during exams and assessments.

    As parents, the challenge is this: is the pressure on your child healthy or not? And if it’s not healthy, what can we do about it?

    The Parent’s Guide to Exam Stress includes voices of students, teachers and mental health professionals, all giving their take on what the exam experience can be like for teenagers today. You will learn how to open up the difficult conversations, how to understand where your child is coming from, and how to help pave the way for your child to feel motivated, prepared and ready for their exams.

  • The Queen Who Walked Away: A Tudor Tale Of Anne Of Cleves (Women Of The Tudor Court Book 3)

    01

    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.

  • The Score: How to Stop Playing Someone Else’s Game

    ‘Lucid, entertaining and precise… a brilliant warning about the gamification of everyday life’ Time Clare, Guardian

    Is this the game you want to be playing?

    Scoring systems are everywhere. Underpinning our daily lives – whether it’s the fit bits on our wrists, likes on social media, and even school rankings – they have become pervasive and increasingly dangerous, warping our desires and outsourcing our values to external institutions. Instead of encouraging us to be more playful, to take pleasure in the journey of striving towards a goal, institutions, corporations and bureaucracies weaponize scoring systems to impose their own interests. No matter what, we always seem to be playing by someone else’s rules.

    In The Score, philosopher C. Thi Nguyen shows us how this newly ‘gamified’ world has fundamentally captured our value systems, turning what might be moral or personal life choices into numerical data, and forcing us to prioritise what can be measured and monetized over what is truly meaningful to us.

    A life-long lover of online and board games himself, Nguyen argues that we should not stop playing games but rather take a step back and become more aware of their immersive and profound power, so that we might chart a way towards more creative and joyful lives. To start playing our own game.

  • The Secret Garden Murders (A Yorkshire Murder Mystery Book 13)

    A murder in a locked garden. A village full of secrets. Can DCI Oldroyd find a killer who has vanished into thin air?

    When elderly Clarissa Morden is found strangled in the locked garden of historic Bishop Hewick Hall in Yorkshire, DCI Jim Oldroyd needs to solve a seemingly impossible murder. The only door was bolted from the inside, the kitchen garden walls are too high to climb, and there is no sign of how the killer escaped. If no one could enter or leave, how did the killer commit the crime and escape?

    But as Oldroyd and his team uncover more evidence, they discover Clarissa wasn’t the kindly neighbour she appeared; a blackmailer, she was keeping coded records of the villagers’ darkest secrets. Suddenly it seems as if half the village has a motive for murder.

    In this puzzling case, Oldroyd must unravel not only how the culprit vanished from a locked garden, but also which of Clarissa’s blackmail victims was driven to stop her. The tranquil beauty of Bishop Hewick conceals deadly secrets—and someone is willing to kill again to keep theirs hidden…

    Being shy sucks. Being shy and having a crush sucks even more. But I can’t get the grouchy werewolf out of my head, so I need to do something… as long as it doesn’t include talking…

    Step One: Leave my crush a gift. Check.

    Step Two: Wait for him to open it. Check.

    Step Three: Try to convince him we’re meant to be. Ugh, I definitely have my work cut out for me.

    Dain caught my attention the moment I walked into the bookstore. Tall. Broody. Growly in that definitely-a-werewolf way. The more time I spend near him, the more certain I become of one impossible truth:

    He’s my viramore. My soulmate.

    Too bad I can barely string two words together in his presence.

    When I finally tell him about our connection, he doesn’t believe me. But he does agree to a date. Hopefully I can turn one date into two, then three, and then maybe, just maybe, he’ll see that I’m right. We’re viramores, and no matter what trouble comes our way, nothing will change that.

    The Snow Yeti’s Grouchy Werewolf is Book 3 in Brinnswick: Tales From Gauhala, an MM urban fantasy romance filled with grumpy/sweet energy, fated mates, gentle humor, and cozy found-family vibes.
