King of Death (Folk Book 3)
Everything should be fine. The Brid is dead. I’m the new seelie king. And Lonan is with me, safe from the unseelie queen—his mother—and terrible brothers.But it’s not fine. Nothing is fine.
I can’t seem to let go of my old life, even as this new one—and my new responsibilities—overwhelm me. Something is wrong with Lonan—he’s closing himself off even more, he’s quiet and distant, and every day the rift between us seems to get bigger, no matter what I do.
I know he wants to go and take his crown. I know he doesn’t feel right here, in this place that’s too hot and too crowded and too different from his home. But I can’t bring myself to let him go. I’ve already lost everything once. I can’t stand the thought of losing him.
But something is happening to me, and I don’t know how to stop it. I can feel myself changing. Becoming something uglier, darker, further and further from who I once was.
Lonan is the only thing stopping me from getting swallowed up completely by whatever now possesses me, but my desperation to keep him close just seems to be driving him further away. And that scares me more than anything.

Christmas on the Farm: Wintry tales from a life spent working with animals
Wrap up warm and retreat to the wintry countryside with farmer and Countryfile presenter Adam Henson, as he recounts his Christmas memories tending to an assorted cast of animals, and celebrates the farmers who make our celebrations possible.
Adam Henson has spent his whole life on Bemborough farm – over 50 winters and Christmases. During that time, the troughs have frozen over, snow has fallen so thickly riding shire horses out to the fields has been the only option, puppies have been found under the Christmas tree – and crises out in the world have almost brought the farm to a close…
Christmas for a farmer takes a different shape to everyone else’s, because the animals always have to come first. So settle down – ideally by a fireside and with a cup of something hot – to hear the tales that have defined festivity for the Henson family, and the turbulent times that have ensured Christmas is now more important than ever for Adam and his loved ones.
Heart-warming and full of Christmas spirit, Christmas on the Farm will give you a new respect for the people who work on them.

How Life Works: A User’s Guide to the New Biology
A cutting-edge new vision of biology that proposes to revise our concept of what life is – from Science Book Prize winner and former Nature editor Philip Ball.
Biology is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. Several aspects of the standard picture of how life works have been exposed as incomplete, misleading, or wrong.
In How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more ingenious affair than we had guessed. With this knowledge come new possibilities. Today we can redesign and reconfigure living systems, tissues, and organisms. We can reprogram cells, for instance, to carry out new tasks and grow into structures not seen in the natural world. Some researchers believe that ultimately we will be able to regenerate limbs and organs, and perhaps even create new life forms that evolution has never imagined.
Incorporating the latest research and insights, How Life Works is a sweeping journey into this new frontier of the nature of life, a realm that will reshape our understanding of life as we know it.

November 1942: An Intimate History of the Turning Point of the Second World War
‘An astonishing achievement’ ANTONY BEEVOR
‘Extraordinary’ JULIA BOYDAn intimate history of the most important month of the Second World War – perhaps the century – as experienced by those who lived through it, completely based on their diaries, letters and memoirs.
At the beginning of November 1942, it looked as if the Axis powers could win the war; at the end of that month, it was obviously just a matter of time before they would lose.
In between came el-Alamein, Guadalcanal, the French North Africa landings, the Japanese retreat in New Guinea, and the Soviet encirclement of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad. In this innovatively kaleidoscopic and riveting historical marvel, Peter Englund reduces these epoch-making events to their basic component: the individual experience.
In thirty memorable days we meet characters including a Soviet infantryman at Stalingrad; an Italian truck driver in the North African desert; a partisan in the Belarussian forests; a machine gunner in a British bomber; a twelve-year-old girl in Shanghai; a university student in Paris; a housewife on Long Island; a prisoner in Treblinka; Albert Camus, Vasily Grossman, and Vera Brittain – forty characters in all. We also witness the launch of SS James Oglethorpe; the fate of U-604, a German submarine; the building of the first nuclear reactor; and the making of Casablanca.
Not since Englund’s own The Beauty and the Sorrow has a book given us one of the most dramatic periods of human history in all its immensity and emotional range.

Jakub: An MM Age Play Christmas Romance
Teddy bears, tea parties, melting hearts… oh my!
Meet Jakub Wade, a little who has only yearned for one thing—a Daddy to call his own. With Christmas in the air, he clings to the hope of miracles. And when a mysterious box arrives, containing a plush brown teddy bear, his life changes in ways he never imagined.
There’s just one catch—it wasn’t meant for him.
Determined to ensure the gift reaches its rightful owner, Jakub embarks on a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns. It takes him to Chester Hanson, a toy-store owner resigned to the belief that love was temporary. In his forty-five years of life, he’d never really found it. At least, not until he witnesses Jakub’s pure joy and the heart-melting smile that accompanies it.
Drawn to Jakub, Chester puts himself on a mission to keep that smile alive, showering him with gift after thoughtful gift. As the holiday season unfolds, they discover a miracle of their own—a teddy bear tea party that sparks a connection deeper than they ever thought possible.
As Christmas approaches, a question looms: Will their newfound miracle fade once the holiday lights dim? Or can their bond grow stronger, and blossom into a love that transcends the season?
Jakub is part of A Daddy for Christmas, a multi-author series. All the books are standalones, but each Daddy has a unique gift for his wonderful boy (or boys). Except all boys know that sometimes Santa gets it wrong, and it’s going to take a very special Daddy to make it right. So why not stay and read them all?

Stalking Shakespeare: A Memoir of Madness, Murder, and My Search for the Poet Beneath the Paint
“A wickedly entertaining” (The New York Times) detective story that chronicles one Mississippi man’s relentless search for an authentic portrait of William Shakespeare.Following his divorce, down-and-out writer and Mississippi exile Lee Durkee holed himself up in a Vermont fishing shack and fell prey to a decades-long obsession with Shakespearian portraiture. It began with a simple premise: despite the prevalence of popular portraits, no one really knows what Shakespeare looked like. That the Bard of Avon has gotten progressively handsomer in modern depictions seems only to reinforce this point.
“Intensely readable…with bust-out laughing moments” (Garden & Gun), Stalking Shakespeare is Durkee’s fascinating memoir about a hobby gone awry, the 400-year-old myriad portraits attached to the famous playwright, and Durkee’s own unrelenting search for a lost picture of the Bard painted from real life. As Durkee becomes better at beguiling curators into testing their paintings with X-ray and infrared technologies, we get a front-row seat to the captivating mysteries–and unsolved murders–surrounding the various portraits rumored to depict Shakespeare.
Whisking us backward in time through layers of paint and into the pages of obscure books on the Elizabethans, Durkee travels from Vermont to Tokyo to Mississippi to DC and ultimately to London to confront the stuffy curators forever protecting the Bard’s image. For his part, Durkee is the adversary they didn’t know they had–a self-described dilettante with nothing to lose, the “Dan Brown of Elizabethan portraiture.”
A bizarre and surprisingly moving blend of biography, art history, and madness, Stalking Shakespeare is a “gripping, poignant, and enjoyable” (The Washington Post) journey that will forever change the way you look at one of history’s greatest cultural and literary icons.

Sunshine (Trident Agency Book 1)
There’s a fine line between hate and fated mates…
Jeremiah has better things to do than babysit the bratty crown prince of the Sirens. His personal protection agency is the best though and the king and queen won’t settle for less.
Being a practically invulnerable Hellhound doesn’t hurt either.
Remi’s selfish and uncaring attitude drives him crazy and confirms his suspicions about the prince being nothing more than a spoiled man-child. He doesn’t care that the more time they spend together, the more possessive his Hellhound becomes of the little princeling.
Or that it turns out first impressions might be misleading…
Falling for a client is the last thing he can let happen. His name and his company’s reputation are on the line. He won’t be led around by his… instincts.
When things begin to heat up between them though, he can’t deny their connection might just be destiny. One thing he knows for sure?

‘Quietly profound, beautifully written, Hare is now lodged in my heart’ – TRACY CHEVALIER
__Imagine you could hold a baby hare and bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and lolloped around your bedroom at night, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that, over two years later, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and snoozed in your house for hours on end. This happened to me.
When Chloe, a city-dwelling professional with a high-pressure job, finds a newly born hare, endangered, alone and no bigger than her palm, she is compelled to give it a chance at survival – despite being the least likely caregiver to this wild animal.
Raising Hare is the story of their journey together. It chronicles an extraordinary relationship between human and animal, rekindling our sense of awe towards nature and wildlife. Their improbable bond of trust reminds us that the most remarkable experiences, inspiring the most hope, often arise when we least expect them.

Death Slides and Cheese Pies (Max’s Campervan Case Files Book 13)
Who Knew Cheese Pies Could be so Deadly?
What could be more fun for an ex-chef and vanlifer than a festival combining pies and vans? Not much, apart from being joined by your ex-wife and best friend besides Anxious, the smartest Jack Russell known to man.
Max Effort was in his element. The sun was shining, the food was delicious, and the campervan show was a real success. The death slide was, as its name suggested, terrifying.
Max would do anything for Min, though, so took the plunge, literally, and shot down the slide into the lake, surprised and quite pleased to survive. But this was only the beginning of his brush with death.
No sooner had they dried off than a corpse was discovered under Vee, his beloved VW Campervan. Hurrying to get help, events spiralled as a pie vendor was found dead, face-planted into his own pie. That was just the beginning of a truly surreal day having to deal with utterly inept detectives, giant pie competitions, and more cheese pies than even Anxious could consume.
As more bodies dropped, and the list of suspects grew, the gang uncovered clues that nobody seemed to take seriously but them.
How did the pie makers meet such an untimely and undignified demise? Why on earth would somebody try to sneak into the festival under their campervan? Most concerning of all was who would be next?
For the first time in his life, even Anxious lost his appetite.
Contains a stunning one-pot recipe at the end. Perfect for those on the road, or anyone who wants a great meal without all the washing up!
A journey of freedom, friendship, and murder mystery on the open road.
