'Vivid, memorable and beautifully crafted' - Sarah Moss, author of
Summerwater 'A brilliant collection, from a remarkable talent' -
Joseph O'Connor, author of Shadowplay Hearts and Bones is a book
about relationships. It explores what love does to us, and how we
survive it. A young woman learns to wield her power, leaving
casualties in her wake, while a man from a small town finds solace
in a strange new hobby. A watchful child feels a breaking point
approach as her mother struggles to keep her life on track, and
another daughter steps onto a stage while her family in the
audience hope that she is strong enough now to take on the world.
First-time lovers make mistakes, brothers and sisters try to
forgive one another, and parents struggle and fail and struggle
again. Teenage souls are swayed by euphoric faith in a higher power
and then by devotion to desire, trapped between different notions
of what might be true. Quiet revolutions happen in living rooms, on
river banks, in packed pubs and empty churches, and years later we
wonder why we ever did the things we did. Set between Ireland and
London in the first two decades of this millennium, the stories in
Hearts and Bones, Niamh Mulvey's debut collection, look at the
changes that have torn through these times and ask who we are now
that we've brought the old gods down. Witty, sharply observed and
deeply moving, these ten stories announce an extraordinary new
Irish literary talent. 'Astute, surprising and wholly entertaining'
- Irish Independent 'Showcases Mulvey's strenths as a writer: the
strangeness, the originality, the perfect pacing . . . highly
accomplished' - Irish Times 'Honest, daringly fresh and stunningly
written, these stories cut right to the very essence of what it
means to be young' - Jan Carson, author of The Raptures
A steamy and swoonworthy fourth and final standalone novel in the
iconic Formula 1 romance series from the bestselling author of The Fine
Print and Love Redesigned.
Features an exclusive bonus chapter, limited to this paperback edition!
SANTIAGO
One mistake destroys my career and I go from the most eligible Formula
1 driver to a grumpy recluse. I'm committed to staying away from
everyone, until Chloe Carter breaks into my house and accuses me of
stealing her phone. I should have her arrested, but I decided to
pretend she's my girlfriend instead.
My plan is risky, but fake dating Chloe could solve all my problems
with my family. Or so I think until our act transforms into something
more, and I'm left wondering what could happen if we drop it
altogether. The only problem? Chloe hates liars, and I happen to be the
biggest one of all.
CHLOE
My whole life changes after an ancestry kit matches me with a long-lost
father in Italy who has no idea I exist. Next thing I know, I'm in a
fake relationship with a local who happens to be my father's favourite
Formula 1 driver.
The catch? I had no idea who Santiago Alatorre was when I agreed to be
his girlfriend, so I'm stuck continuing the ruse. Fulfilling our
arrangement in one thing, but falling in love in the process? Never
going to happen. Even if Santiago is determined to prove me wrong.
"What a pretty flower to keep locked in a big, rocky tower."
Nineteen years ago, I was plucked from the heart of a bloody massacre
that spared nobody else. Small. Fragile. An enigma.
Now ward to a powerful High Master who knows too much and says too
little, I lead a simple life, never straying from the confines of an
imaginary line I've drawn around the castle grounds. Stay within. Never
leave.
Out there, the monsters lurk. Inside, I'm safe … though at a cost far
greater than the blood I drip into a goblet daily.
Toxic, unreciprocated love for a man who's utterly unavailable. My
savior. My protector. My almost executioner. I can't help but be
enamored with the arcane man who holds the power to pull my roots from
the ground.
When voracious beasts spill across the land and threaten to fray the
fabric of my tailored existence, the petals of reality will peel back
to reveal an ugly truth. But in a castle puddled with secrets, none are
greater than the one I've kept from myself.
No tower is tall enough to protect me from the horror that tore my life
to shreds.
Book one in the Crystal Bloom series.
Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros and Jennifer L.
Armentrout.

He is righteousness. She is sin.
Father Cade Frédéric is a holy man. Brought up in the streets of Paris, he has dedicated his life to the church. But there's a monster that lingers just beneath the surface. A sickness. One that bleeds darkness and feeds on the damned. When he's tasked to become the priest in Festivalé, Vermont-a town both beautiful in architecture and riddled with despair-his sickness sings, demanding he rid the place of evil.
Amaya Paquette is Festivalé's beautiful mystery. She spends her days caring for her younger brother and her nights transforming into Esmeralda, dancing for greedy eyes and shameless lips. Although she longs for love, she shies away from companionship, afraid of being abandoned again.
When Father Cade lays eyes on Amaya, he finds himself ensnared, convinced she's using witchcraft to lure him to her. He can't eat. Can't breathe. Can't think unless it's of her.
Temptation is a devastating mistress.
She's his weakness, so he decides he'll be her demise...even if it means killing the only woman he might ever love.
To find their soulmates, all they need is four dates, a kiss and a
breakup . . .
Justin has a curse, and thanks to a Reddit thread, it's now all over
the internet. Every woman he dates goes on to find their soul mate the
second they break up. When a woman slides into his DMs with the same
problem, they come up with a plan: They'll date each other and break
up. Their curses will cancel each other's out, and they'll both go on
to find the love of their lives. It's a bonkers idea . . . and it just
might work.
Emma hadn't planned that her next assignment as a traveling nurse would
be in Minnesota, but she and her best friend agree that dating Justin
is too good of an opportunity to pass up, especially when they get to
rent an adorable cottage on a private island on Lake Minnetonka.
It's supposed to be a quick fling, just for the summer. But when Emma's
toxic mother shows up and Justin has to assume guardianship of his
three siblings, they're suddenly navigating a lot more than they
expected - including catching real feelings for each other. What if
this time Fate has actually brought the perfect pair together?
A sharp and scintillating summer novel that will make readers laugh out
loud and cry happy tears from the New York Times bestselling author of
Yours Truly.
