Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people.
So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: her dashing and insufferably handsome academic rival Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, muddle Emily’s research, and utterly confound and frustrate her.
But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones—the most elusive of all faeries—lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery: Who is Wendell Bambleby, and what does he really want? To find the answer, she’ll have to unlock the greatest mystery of all—her own heart.
Epic, sizzling enemies-to-lovers romantasy, set in a world of dark magic, assassins and war, Iron & Embers by Helen Scheuerer is perfect for fans of The Witcher and The Bridge Kingdom.
Wren Embervale, alchemist-turned-assassin, finds solace in only one thing: seeking vengeance for the death of her friends from wars past. But when she is offered a place at the ancient alchemy academy of Drevenor, she must claim her spot by conquering the Gauntlet – a gruelling series of deadly trials that could cost her sanity, or her life.
Yet the biggest threat of all might come from the man assigned to protect her – Torj Elderbrock, the silver-haired war hero who has hated her since she assassinated his last charge.
Their shared history ignites a simmering tension that threatens to consume them both. With peace between the kingdoms as fragile as ever, and enemies lurking around every corner, Wren will discover whether love can truly heal all wounds – or if it is in fact the most lethal poison of all . . .

November 9 is a standalone contemporary romance novel.
You’ll never be able to find yourself if you’re lost in someone else.
Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon’s last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.
Can Ben’s relationship with Fallon – and simultaneously his novel – be considered a love story if it ends in heartbreak?
From the author of Station Eleven, Emily St. John Mandel, The Glass
Hotel is the story of the lives caught up in two very different
tragedies: a woman disappearing from a container ship, and a
massive Ponzi scheme imploding in New York. 'A perfect
post-lockdown read' - Sunday Times 'Elegant, haunting' - The Times
'A damn fine novel . . . evocative and immersive' - George R. R.
Martin Vincent is the beautiful bartender at the exclusive Hotel
Caiette. When New York financier Jonathan Alkaitis walks into the
hotel and hands her his card, it is the beginning of their life
together. That same night, a hooded figure scrawls a note on the
windowed wall of the hotel: 'Why don't you swallow broken glass.'
Leon Prevant, a shipping executive, sees the note from the hotel
bar and is shaken to his core. When Alkaitis's investment fund is
revealed to be a Ponzi scheme, Leon loses his retirement savings in
the fallout, but Vincent seemingly walks away unscathed. Until, a
decade later, she disappears from the deck of one of Leon's ships .
. .
Some secrets should stay behind closed doors…
Gemma’s got it all figured out: she has her amazing best friends April
and Anna, a high-flying job, and a dating life that’s strictly
no-strings-attached. Men fall at her feet – and she walks away from
them without a backwards glance.
Max is a jet-setter with zero interest in settling down. Between London
and New York City, he’s in a position of power, working at a luxury
hotelier. But when he meets Gemma in a high-stakes hotel pitch, their
chemistry is instant, electric…and completely off limits. Why? Because
Max is Anna’s brother. And Anna has just one rule: don’t even think
about her brother.
But the danger zone is Gemma’s favorite place to be. And some things
are worth bending the rules for…
Tisaanah bargained away her own freedom to save those she left behind
in slavery. Now, bound by her blood pact, she must fight the Orders’
war – and Max is determined to protect her at all costs.
But when a betrayal tears apart the land of Ara, Max and Tisaanah are
pushed into an even bloodier conflict. Tisaanah must gamble with
Reshaye’s power to claim an impossible victory. And Max, forced into
leadership, must confront everything he hoped to forget: his past, and
his own mysterious magic.
All the while, darker forces loom – far darker, even, than the Orders’
secrets. As Tisaanah and Max become ensnared in a web of ancient magic
and twisted secrets, one question remains: what are they willing to
sacrifice for victory, for power and for love?
They say life is made up of moments.
So is a relationship.
From the moment he sets his eyes on Ashley Oliver at sixth form on the
cusp of the new millennium, Charlie falls in love. It isn’t all
sunshine and roses though and it takes several years and more than one
chance meeting before they begin their relationship.
Will they survive everything the world has to throw at them or will the
pressure of life, love, and London be too much for them?
Told through moments big and small, trivial and significant, this is
the moving and uplifting story of a relationship - the ups, the downs,
and everything in between.
