It is the First World War and Susan Nell stands before the door of a private ward in a British military hospital. On the door she reads a single name. She knows that name. Sixteen years ago, during the Anglo-Boer War, she encountered that name in a concentration camp in Winburg. She lifts her hand to open the door. Her hand shakes uncontrollably. But she is a psychiatric nurse and this is what she has to do, bring traumatised soldiers back to the light. However, if this soldier is the one who sixteen years ago thrust all light out of you with his hips, it is not that obvious. Susan Nell hesitates before she opens the door, desperately uncertain – teetering on the threshold between life and death.

In The Camp Whore the resilience of the human spirit is weighed up against the equally persistent influence of trauma. It is a psychological thriller that will hold you in its icy grip till the very last page.

Hallie Welch fell hard for Julian Vos at fourteen, after they almost kissed in the dark vineyards of his family's winery. Now the prodigal hottie has returned to their small Napa town.

On sabbatical from his ivy league job, Julian plans write a novel. But having Hallie gardening right outside his window is the ultimate distraction.

Even as Julian wonders about this admirer, he's sucked further into Hallie's orbit. Like the flowers she plants all over town, Hallie is a burst of color in Julian's grey-scale life. For a man who irons his socks and runs on tight schedules, her sunny chaotic energy makes zero sense. But there's something so familiar about her... and her very presence is turning his world upside down.

Sal Alan sy kop volg en aanhou soek na die vrou wat netjies by sy planne inpas of sal hy swig voor dít wat sy hart wil hê?

Ongelukkig spook Stella se verlede nog te veel by haar om die toekoms met albei hande aan te gryp. Sy voel ook nie gereed om te deel wat vyf jaar gelede op Ridgeway gebeur het nie – al vertel die tatoes op haar liggaam ʼn groot deel van die storie.

Op die oog af lyk dit of daar niks is wat Stella Smith nie kan doen nie. Sy kan dans met ʼn skinkbord vol drankies, haar stempel afdruk as sy saam met ’n gewilde country groep sing, ʼn lekkende kraan en stukkende pyp regmaak, blomme rangskik en selfs kerkorrel speel. Daar is egter iets wat sy nie kan doen nie: om normaal op te tree as Kyle White in die vertrek is.

Kyle het sy toekoms en sy loopbaan deeglik beplan. Hy is op pad San Francisco toe. Daar sal hy nie net die seun van ’n goewerneur wees nie, maar ʼn talentvolle argitek in eie reg.

Ridgeway is net ʼn vinnige stop voor dan, maar die ongelooflike sexy kroegmeisie Stella maak gevoelens in hom wakker en krap sy planne deurmekaar.

Hy trap tydens die sessie só klei dat Lulu eerder op die rak sal bly sit as in sy kamtige spreekkamer. Dit neem nie lank nie voordat sy besef dat die einste Kobus baie beter vaar in die liefde se praktiese sy as met die teorie. Kobus se vriende maak die lewe ook nie vir hom makliker wanneer dit kom by sy verhouding met Lulu nie.

Sy word Kobus se grootste uitdaging en hy werp alles in die stryd tot geluk. Maar is dit genoeg om Lulu se hart te wen?

Amelia besef haar besluit om te gaan kyk waar haar wortels tussen die Rooiberge in die Noord-Oos-Vrystaat begrawe lê, is onverstaanbaar vir haar aangenome familie. Sy wil egter antwoorde gaan soek. Wie was haar biologiese ma regtig en waarom het geen familie haar probeer opspoor na haar ma se skielike dood toe sy nog ‘n baba was nie?

Tussen die stofstrate van Clarens vind sy egter meer as waarop sy gereken het en verloor haar hart onverwags in die proses. Dirk word daardie iemand êrens wat sy so heldhaftig in haar dagboek aangeteken het, maar nooit gedink het sy eendag gaan ontmoet nie.

Net jammer sy is nie seker waar “klitsgras Christie” in sy lewe pas nie.

The thrilling sequel to the instant Sunday Times bestseller and number one global phenomenon, Fourth Wing!

She survived her first year at Basgiath War College . . . but the danger is only beginning.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College, Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.

Now the real training begins, and Violet's already wondering how she'll get through. It's not just that it's grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it's designed to stretch the riders' capacity for pain beyond endurance. It's the new vice commandant, who's made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is - unless she betrays the man she loves.

Although Violet's body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else's, she still has her wits, and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.

But a determination to survive won't be enough this year.

Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College - and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.

Making sure the end of the world never happens again – that is Enver Eleven’s task. A spy for the Historical Agency, Enver is based in Johannesburg, the only city to survive – thanks to its mining tunnels – when a supernova hit.

In Enver’s Joburg, time-travelling agents jump between the past and future, searching for an elusive enemy plotting against the Agency. Enver’s mission starts off on shaky ground: when his mentor Shanumi Six disappears, Enver must prove that he is no double agent, an allegation as frightening as a white skin in a world where it has become vanishingly rare.

But if you could go back and change the past, would the future turn out the way you want it to? Imraan Coovadia’s dazzlingly original A Spy In Time is an extraordinary tale for extraordinary times.

From the number one bestselling author, Peter James, comes I Follow You, a nerve-shredding standalone thriller.

But there’s something missing, there always has been. . . . or rather, someone. Driving to work one morning, his mind elsewhere and not on the road, he almost mows down a female jogger on a crossing. As she runs on, Marcus is transfixed. Infatuated. She is the spitting image of a girl he was crazy about in his teens. A girl he has never been able to get out of his mind.

Lynette had dumped him harshly. For years he has fantasized about seeing her again and rekindling their flame. Might that jogger possibly be her all these years later? Could this be the most incredible coincidence?

Despite all his attempts to resist, he is consumed by cravings for this woman. And when events take a tragically unexpected turn, his obsession threatens to destroy both their worlds. But still he won’t stop. Can’t stop.

This should be the story of Hercules: his twelve labours, his endless adventures…everyone’s favourite hero, right?

Well, it’s not. This is the story of everyone else:

Alcmene: Herc’s mother (She has knives everywhere)

Hylas: Herc’s first friend (They were more than friends)

Megara: Herc’s wife (She’ll tell you about their marriage)

Eurystheus: Oversaw Herc’s labours (He never asked for the job)

His friends, his enemies, his wives, his children, his lovers, his rivals, his gods, his victims. It’s time to hear their stories.

Told with humour and heart, Herc gives voice to the silenced characters, in this feminist, queer (and sometimes shocking) retelling of classic Hercules myth.

Perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and Joanne M. Harris

The guiltiest people aren't always the ones behind bars…

As a new nurse practitioner at a maximum-security prison, Brooke Sullivan is taught three crucial rules:

1. Treat all prisoners with respect.
2. Never reveal any personal information.
3. Never EVER become too friendly with the inmates.

But nobody knows that Brooke has already broken the rules. Nobody knows about her intimate connection to Shane Nelson, one of the penitentiary's most notorious and dangerous inmates. They certainly don't know that Shane was Brooke's high school sweetheart―the star quarterback, the golden boy who's serving a life sentence for a series of grisly murders. Or that Brooke's testimony was what put him there.

But Shane knows. He knows more than anyone. And he will never forget.

The Inmate is a propulsive, mind-bending thriller about how we define guilt―and who has to pay for it, from New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden.

In his investigation, Colonel Vaughn De Vries of the Special Crimes Unit discovers a frightening back story and developing pattern of criminality, and comes to believe that there is more than one killer on the loose, each with a connection to a man who, as a child, drowned his sister and destroyed his family. Newly promoted investigator Lieutenant Mike Solarin, working with De Vries, discovers a trail to the perpetrators of the bomb in the city but, when he is recalled and the incident branded the work of extremists, he pursues an alternative route, calling into question the role of the political elite, the media, and the police themselves.

Now sharing the single belief that there must be justice at any cost as they struggle to represent victims of so many atrocities, De Vries and Solarin fight - against gathering forces - to save their city and their country.
