At 17, Nan wants to leave the family farm and go to study. Caught
between her powerful mother and yielding, drunken father, she
absorbs the tensions of their divided household and dotes on her

the horse blind, Nan's mother insists he must be put down,
initiating a power struggle that brings the family's conflicts

astute and morally complex. Written in lush, entrancing prose, it
is the finest work by a significant modernist writer.

Muskan has a great life. She has a job at a prestigious magazine
(though they don't seem totally aware of her presence), a group of
wonderful friends (though it feels their lives have moved on a bit
lately), a loving (if overbearing) family and a string of dates
that are entertaining (if not in any way fulfilling). Fine, then,
Muskan is struggling. And she's annoying everyone around her with
it. Muskan travels from New York to London to Chennai and back
again as she navigates the quietly devastating travails of being a
young Indian woman today, carried by the one thing that has got her
this far - her dark sense of humour. The truth underlying all of
this is that Muskan is carrying a heavy secret, one that has shaped
her view of herself, and been compounded by an America driven on
sexism and racism. Funny, moving and affecting - Ghost Chilli is a
gripping story about the reality of modern relationships, and the
ties that bind.

Before Xaden Riorson, there were the four Fly Boys: a deeply emotional
and angsty New Adult romance series from the No.1 Sunday Times
bestselling author of Fourth Wing.
Be careful what you wish for . . .
Grayson Masters is focused on graduating and the last thing he needs is
his gorgeous new roommate distracting him. And though her smart mouth
is irresistibly irritating, he can't seem to deny their off-the-charts
chemistry.
Samantha Fitzgerald has no business digging for Grayson's secrets while
she's hiding her own, but that doesn't stop her from trying to tear
down his walls. But, she's not prepared for the truth: another woman
laid claim to Grayson's heart long ago.
Falling in love is something neither of them can afford, and when that
line is crossed, they'll learn that sometimes it's the answered prayers
that will put you through hell . . .
