Do you secretly dream of whirling across the dance floor in a dress more glamour personified than Joan Collins circa 1955? Are you still waiting for the love of your life to materialise (your boyfriend just doesn't know it yet)? Do you love Strictly Come Dancing? Ava Dunne is trapped in a floundering relationship with Salisbury's most unromantic boyfriend. Her domineering sister Lauren's plans for a grand wedding are threatening to take over her existence, and thoughts of the hideous dress Lauren's chosen for her to wear on the big day offer little distraction from monotonous village life. Until she joins a local dance class. OK, so it's not exactly Strictly, her number one favourite TV show, but it's a start. But then a handsome stranger from the neighbouring village joins the class and Ava's life gets a whole lot more exciting. Will she finally get the Big Romance that has so far eluded her with this charming dance partner, or should she just count her blessings and settle with pragmatic Rob? As the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing draws closer, her boyfriend becomes ever more tedious and the dance classes become an increasingly alluring diversion, Ava must make a decision that will change the direction of her life forever. Prepare to be whisked off your feet with the second long-awaited Strictly Come Dancing novel.

Away games, back seats, and the locker room after hours... Get ready for a new girl-girl bully romance!

CLAY
Marymount girls are good girls. We're chaste, we're untouched, and even if we weren't, no one would know, because we keep our mouths shut. Not that I have anything to share anyway. I never let guys go too far. I'm behaved.


Beautiful, smart, talented, popular, my skirt's always pressed, and I never have a hair out of place. I own the hallways, walking tall on Monday and dropping to my knees like the good Catholic girl I am on Sunday. That's me. Always in control.

Or so they think.

The truth is that it's easy for me to resist them, because what I truly want, they can never be. Something soft and smooth. Someone dangerous and wild.

Unfortunately, what I want I have to hide. In the locker room after hours. In the bathroom stall between classes. In the showers after practice

For me, life is a web of secrets. No one can find out mine.

OLIVIA
I cross the tracks every day for one reason—to graduate from this school and get into the Ivy League. I'm not ashamed of where I come from, my family, or how everyone at Marymount thinks my skirts are too short and my lipstick is too red.

Clay Collins and her friends have always turned up their noses at me. The witch with her beautiful skin, clean shoes, and rich parents who torments me daily and thinks I won't fight back.

At least not until I get her alone and find out she's hiding so much more than just what's underneath those pretty clothes.

The princess thinks I'll scratch her itch. She thinks she's still pure as long as it's not a guy touching her.

I told her to stay on her side of town. I told her not to cross the tracks. But one night, she did.

And when I'm done with her, she'll never be pure again.

*TRYST SIX VENOM is a standalone, new adult, bully romance suitable for readers 18+.

Powerfully sensual and sublimely stylish, Mrs S is a tale of queer love that smoulders with the heat of summer. In an elite English boarding school where the girls kiss the marble statue of the famous dead author who used to walk the halls, a young Australian woman arrives to take up the antiquated role of 'matron'. Within this landscape of immense privilege, in which the girls can sense the slightest weakness in those around them, she finds herself unsure of her role, her accent and her body. That is until she meets Mrs S, the headmaster's wife, a woman who is her polar opposite: assured, sophisticated, a paragon of femininity. Over the course of a long, restless heatwave, the matron finds herself irresistibly drawn ever closer into Mrs S's world and their unspoken desire blooms into an illicit affair of electric intensity. But, as the summer begins to fade, both women know that a choice must be made. K Patrick's portrait of the butch experience is revelatory; exploring the contested terrain of our bodies, our desires and the constraints society places around both. Mrs S marks the arrival of a major new literary talent, unlike any other.

Soledad Barnes has her life all planned out. She plans everything. She designs everything. She fixes everything. But none of her varied talents can save her when catastrophe strikes, and the life she built with the man who was supposed to be her forever, goes poof in a cloud of betrayal and disillusion.

But there is no time to pout or sulk, or even grieve the life she lost. She's too busy keeping a roof over her daughters' heads and food on the table. And in the process of saving them all, Soledad rediscovers herself. From the ashes of a life burned to the ground, something bold and new can rise.

But then an unlikely man enters the picture - the forbidden one, the one she shouldn't want but can't seem to resist. She's lost it all before and refuses to repeat her mistakes. Can she trust him? Can she trust herself?

After all she's lost . . . and found . . . can she be brave enough to make room for what could be?

Skye has been with Tim forever and the last thing she's thinking about is saying 'I do'. It's Tim that enters the dream wedding competition - he's longing to win an all-expenses-paid trip to romantic Montenello. An escape to a beautiful Italian hill town might be just what they need to find love again...

Ana definitely isn't interested in getting married - she doesn't need a man to make her happy. But when she loses her job at a glossy food magazine, she jumps at the chance of a new life, renovating a crumbling Italian farmhouse. Her handsome (and very distracting) neighbour definitely isn't part of the plan.

One thing's for sure, this summer has surprises in store!
