The addictive, savvy and steamy new romcom inspired by My Best Friend's Wedding from bestselling author Meghan Quinn.

Ophelia thought wedding planning would be fun. But with her nightmare of a mother-in-law, she's struggling to adjust to life with a ring on her finger. Thankfully her best friend of over ten years, Breaker, agrees to be her faithful 'man in waiting'.

While nervous to play the part, Breaker takes his title very seriously. That is until he starts to realise that it's not nerves he feels at all. But a weird, butterfly sensation directed at his soon-to-be-married best friend.

From Ronald H. Balson, author of Once We Were Brothers, Saving Sophie is the powerful story of the lengths a father will go through to protect his daughter and an action-packed thriller that will take you on an unforgettable journey of murder and deception, testing the bonds of family and love.

Jack Sommers was just an ordinary accountant from Chicago - that is, until his wife passed away, his young daughter was kidnapped, and he became the main suspect in an $88 million dollar embezzlement case. Now Jack is on the run, hoping to avoid the feds long enough to rescue his daughter, Sophie, from her maternal grandfather, a suspected terrorist in Palestine.

With the help of investigative team Liam and Catherine, and a new CIA operative, a secret mission is launched to not only rescue Sophie but also to thwart a major terrorist attack in Hebron. But will being caught in the crossfires of the Palestine-Israeli conflict keep their team from accomplishing the task at hand, or can they overcome the odds and save countless lives, including their own?

In ’n hiernamaals waar die goeies beloon word en skuldiges moet boete doen, glo hy nie. Almal wat aandadig was, moet in hierdie lewe gestraf word. Dit gaan haar nie terugbring nie, of hom vryspreek nie, maar dit is ten minste iets.

’n Serwiese geheime agent wat ’n dwelmsindikaat ondersoek, word koelbloedig vermoor in Kaapstad se berugte nagklubdistrik. Die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens was hulle hande – dit was ’n gewone straatroof; die skuldiges is onbekend.

Die Serwiese geheime diens, ’n organisasie met ’n reputasie vir vergelding, koop dit nie; hulle stuur die gedugte majoor Viktor Vesić na Suid-Afrika om ondersoek in te stel.

Sy speurwerk lei hom na onverwagse plekke . . . en dan raak dit persoonlik. Nou word die spoor ’n bloedspoor.

“You must be our new neighbors!” Mrs. Lowell gushes and waves across the picket fence. I clutch my daughter’s hand and smile back: but the second Mrs. Lowell sees my husband a strange expression crosses her face. In that moment I make a promise. We finally have a family home. My past is far, far behind us. And I’ll do anything to keep it that way…

I used to clean other people’s houses—now, I can’t believe this home is actually mine. The charming kitchen, the quiet cul-de-sac, the huge yard where my kids can play. My husband and I saved for years to give our children the life they deserve.

Even though I’m wary of our new neighbor Mrs. Lowell, when she invites us over for dinner it’s our chance to make friends. Her maid opens the door wearing a white apron, her hair in a tight bun. I know exactly what it’s like to be in her shoes. But her cold stare gives me chills…

The Lowells’ maid isn’t the only strange thing on our street. I’m sure I see a shadowy figure watching us. My husband leaves the house late at night. And when I meet a woman who lives across the way, her words chill me to the bone: Be careful of your neighbors.

Did I make a terrible mistake moving my family here?

I thought I’d left my darkest secrets behind. But could this quiet suburban street be the most dangerous place of all?

Cornél slaan op die vlug, want hy kan nie sy gebroke ouers in die oë kyk nie. Die koeël het immers uit sy jaggeweer gekom.

In die nasleep van die tragedie moet Ragel meisie-alleen red wat te redde is op Soetkloof. Dan kom daar ’n groot droogte en die Opkomsrivier, hul laaste oorblywende reddingsboei, verdor. Boonop is hul grond in die gedrang, want ’n yslike bewaringsgroep wil al die plase in die distrik op koop.

Gaan Ragel aanhou om vir haar erfgrond te baklei of gaan die noodlot die oorhand kry? Kan die luiperdman die jong, taai vrou weer ’n proesel van lewensvreugde gee? En gaan Cornél ooit lewend na Soetkloof terugkeer?

Solank as die aarde, Lucia Prinsloo se derde roman, is uiteindelik ’n verhaal van oorwinning en hoop. Want solank as die aarde bly staan, sal saaityd en oestyd nie ophou nie, sal koue weer warm word, winter weer somer en nag weer dag.

Kan jy vlug van wie jy regtig is?

Wisani Maluleke is a studying Sociology at Wits, juggling three jobs while caring for her bedridden mother and her younger, allergy-prone brother. Life in Soweto has made her tough, but she’s stretched to breaking point, until her university thesis leads her straight into the
path of the Bafokeng brothers, heirs to the feared and legendary Marashea underworld.

At the heart of this brotherhood is Mohapi Mofokeng: silent, commanding, and dangerous. When Wisani crosses his path, what begins as a desperate attempt to her research pulls her into a world of secrets, blood loyalty, and shadows that never die. Between survival, love, and the weight of her family’s struggles, Wisani must decide whether to walk away, or stand with the brothers who could destroy her or save her.

A story of resilience, a clash between survival and desire. Set in Soweto and Lesotho.

In the vein of Naomi Novik’s New York Times bestseller Spinning Silver and Katherine Arden’s national bestseller The Bear and the Nightingale, this unforgettable debut— inspired by Hungarian history and Jewish mythology—follows a young pagan woman with hidden powers and a one-eyed captain of the Woodsmen as they form an unlikely alliance to thwart a tyrant.

In her forest-veiled pagan village, Évike is the only woman without power, making her an outcast clearly abandoned by the gods. The villagers blame her corrupted bloodline—her father was a Yehuli man, one of the much-loathed servants of the fanatical king. When soldiers arrive from the Holy Order of Woodsmen to claim a pagan girl for the king’s blood sacrifice, Évike is betrayed by her fellow villagers and surrendered.

But when monsters attack the Woodsmen and their captive en route, slaughtering everyone but Évike and the cold, one-eyed captain, they have no choice but to rely on each other. Except he’s no ordinary Woodsman—he’s the disgraced prince, Gáspár Bárány, whose father needs pagan magic to consolidate his power. Gáspár fears that his cruelly zealous brother plans to seize the throne and instigate a violent reign that would damn the pagans and the Yehuli alike. As the son of a reviled foreign queen, Gáspár understands what it’s like to be an outcast, and he and Évike make a tenuous pact to stop his brother.

As their mission takes them from the bitter northern tundra to the smog-choked capital, their mutual loathing slowly turns to affection, bound by a shared history of alienation and oppression. However, trust can easily turn to betrayal, and as Évike reconnects with her estranged father and discovers her own hidden magic, she and Gáspár need to decide whose side they’re on, and what they’re willing to give up for a nation that never cared for them at all.

'My name is Natalie Heller Mills, and I was perfect at being alive…'

Natalie lives a traditional lifestyle – and has the social media accounts to prove it. Her charming farmhouse on her working ranch is artfully cluttered, her husband is a handsome cowboy, her homemade sourdough boules are each more beautiful than the last. So what if there are nannies and producers and industrial-grade ovens behind the scenes? What Natalie’s followers don’t know won’t hurt them.

Then, one morning, Natalie wakes up in a strange, horrible version of reality. Her home, her husband, her children―they’re all familiar, but something’s off. Is this a hoax? A reality show? A test from God? Natalie knows just two things for sure: this isn't her perfect life, and she must escape, by any means possible.

NOW BEING ADAPTED INTO A MAJOR FILM STARRING ANNE HATHAWAY.

Ella Olivia is ’n kranige lysiemaker wat haar hele lewe fyn probeer beplan, want sy glo alle slegte dinge gebeur op Vrydae.

Na ’n belaglike insident waarin sy ’n meme geword het (natuurlik op ’n Vrydag), is haar laaste minuut aanvaarding by Kovsies om medies te studeer ’n nuwe begin vir haar. Maar na nóg ’n belaglike verwarring, bevind sy haarself in die laaste situasie waarin sy wil wees: die kollig. Sy moet Con Trubleau, gewilde kitaarspeler en hoofsanger van die boyband Vuurvreter, se fake meisie wees.

Hierdie is só nie deel van haar plan nie.

Ronke, Simi and Boo are inseparable mixed-race friends living in London. They have the gift of two cultures, Nigerian and English, though not all of them choose to see it that way.

Everyday racism has never held them back, but now in their thirties, they question their future. Ronke wants a husband (he must be Nigerian); Boo enjoys (correction: endures) stay-at-home motherhood; while Simi, full of fashion career dreams, rolls her eyes as her boss refers to her urban vibe yet again.

When Isobel, a lethally glamorous friend from their past arrives in town, she is determined to fix their futures for them. Cracks in their friendship begin to appear, and it is soon obvious Isobel is not sorting but wrecking. When she is driven to a terrible act, the women are forced to reckon with a crime in their past that may just have repeated itself.

A darkly comic and bitingly subversive take on love, race and family, Wahala will have you laughing, crying and gasping in horror. Boldly political about class, colorism and clothes, here is a truly inclusive tale that will speak to anyone who has ever cherished friendship, in all its form.

The searing second volume in a new series set in the #1 global bestselling Shatter Me universe ten years after the fall of The Reestablishment.

Rosabelle Wolff had a plan. Now she wants revenge. To save her sister she needs to get back home and destroy the system that created her. Rosabelle’s greatest strength is her ability to deaden her mind and body; it’s the only way to survive the surveillance state of Ark Island. But lately her heart has been beating harder; her thoughts are spiraling; her defenses are coming undone. And there’s only one person to blame.

James Anderson had a plan. Now he has nothing but problems. Rosabelle might be the ally they need in a fight against The Reestablishment, but no one wants to trust an enemy assassin. It doesn’t help that Rosabelle’s not much of a talker, doesn’t work well in groups, and kills people on instinct. Taking her side has cost James nearly everything—but keeping her alive might help save his world. If only he could convince his older brother.

Aaron Warner Anderson has a headache. Something dark is coming, and Rosabelle’s arrival is just a prelude. In her, he sees shades of himself he can’t trust, and worse: he can no longer get a read on the girl. She’s a dead battery, emanating no emotional feedback. At least not until James walks into a room…

Volcanic tension, breathless reveals, breakneck action—and a dystopian world that never stops raising the stakes:

Die klooster, geleë in wat eens die vrugbare mieliedriehoek in die Vrystaat was, bied jaarliks ’n Passiespel aan waarop hulle alle hoop vestig vir oorlewing. Maar JC van Schouwenburg, wat die hoofrol vertolk, het onverklaarbaar verdwyn en Dapper is desperaat om hom
op te spoor. Die moederowerste is ontwykend, die personeel onbehulpsaam en Broeder P, die newelagtige leier van die klooster, is ontoeganklik.

It’s a dangerous – but crucial – sortie with the odds heavily stacked against Jack and his men.

Denver Brady claims to be the most successful serial killer of our time – and that’s precisely why you’ve never heard of him. But with the publication of How to Get Away With Murder, his manual for aspiring serial killers, that’s about to change.

When a copy of Denver's book is found at a crime scene, DI Samantha Hansen is given the job of tracking down the elusive author. As Denver and Sam’s stories unfold and converge, it becomes clear that there’s more to both than meets the eye.

But in this dark and twisted tale, who is hunting whom?

The pulse-racing, bingeable thriller about love, marriage and obsession.

It's Ife's dream wedding - until her new husband Ade is arrested for murder.

His missing ex, Cynthia, has been found dead on the Dorset coast.

Case closed: it's always the ex, right?

But did Ade kiss, marry - and kill? One person hopes the truth never comes out.

One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, "New York Times" bestseller Gillian Flynn takes that statement to its darkest place in this unputdownable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong.

On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media--as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents--the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter--but is he really a killer?

As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn't do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?

With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.
