Relive the sensuality, the romance, and the drama of Fifty Shades Freed - the love story that enthralled millions of readers around the world - through the thoughts, reflections, and dreams of Christian Grey.
Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele have tied the knot - but marriage brings its own challenges. Though their passion burns hotter and deeper than ever, Ana's defiant spirit continues to stir Christian's darkest fears and tests his need for control.
As old rivalries and resentments endanger them both, one misjudgement threatens to tear them apart.
'A wise, intimate tale that is by turns joyful, sorrowful and
explicit' Observer 'The author delves deep into Lottie's psyche,
shying away from nothing, to create a rounded and gripping portrait
of a woman on the edge of change' Daily Mail Lottie Kristin is
independent from the start. Born in the middle of the century to a
middle-class family in the very middle of America, Lottie is set
apart by her smarts and sensuality. A girl who'd rather carry out
dissections on a snowy back porch than join her family for
Christmas dinner is a strange and exotic artifact in the town of
Sleeping Bay. But by her early twenties, Lottie finds herself
trapped in a marriage gone stale, with a daughter she adores but
whose existence jeopardizes her place in the lab and her dream of
becoming a scientist. How can a young woman make her way in a world
determined to contain her brilliance, her will, and her longing to
live? Bravely and wisely written, Artifact is an intimate and
propulsive portrait of a whole woman, a celebration of her refusal
to be defined by others' imaginations, and a meditation on the
glorious chaos of biological life.
You've devoured Fifty Shades . . . Now it's time to lose yourself
in the Haven of Obedience Twenty-something Londoner Natalie Bowen
is envied by many, but her personal life is a disaster. Men can't
cope with her career success and Natalie thinks she'll never find
real happiness. Then she hears about an exclusive weekend retreat
called The Haven, a place that specialises in introducing you to
pleasures you could never have imagined. Shocked at the idea, but
unable to resist finding out more, Natalie decides it's time to put
her fears behind her. Once at The Haven, Natalie meets the
enigmatic and disciplined Simon, a man who is used to getting what
he wants. And Natalie may very well have met her match . . .

brilliant.' SARAH MOSS 'A masterpiece.' DAISY JOHNSON

aspire to.' BENJAMIN MYERS
This early, unusual romance by Georgette Heyer features a young
country gentleman driven by jealousy to transform himself into a
sophisticated dandy to win the lady he loves.
In the glorious days of the mid 18th century, sophisticated men
wore high heels, powdered wigs, and plenty of lace. Philip Jettan,
however, is just a stolid country gentleman, happy with his estate,
plainspoken, and plainly dressed. When a London dandy visits the
neighborhood and attracts entirely too much attention from Philip's
beautiful young neighbor Cleone Charteris, Philip goes to Paris to
learn how to become what he thinks Cleone wants. When he encounters
Cleone again, he is powdered and patched, and Cleone discovers a
preference for the simple, plainspoken gentleman he used to be. Now
that he has transformed for her sake, it's up to her to understand
her own heart

In St Petersburg, Russia, Aneliya is torn between the love of her father and her father's best friend. Her father dreams of becoming a great musician but suffers with a naivete that means he will never be taken seriously. Her father's best friend has a penchant for vodka, strip clubs and moral philosophy.
When an angelic presence named Xstabeth enters their lives - a presence who simultaneously fulfils and disappears those she touches - Aneliya and her father's world is transformed.
Moving from Russia to St Andrews, Scotland, Xstabeth tackles the metaphysics of golf, the mindset of classic Russian novels and the power of art and music to re-wire reality. Charged with a consuming intensity and a torrential rhythm that pulses with music, it is an offering of transcendence and a love letter to the books of Chandler, Nabokov and Dostoevsky, by a writer who is rewriting the rulebook of contemporary fiction.
