It’s agreed that I’ll help him into the city. And he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden.

The power that may just be the key to my survival.

Secrets that could tear this kingdom – and perhaps even this world – apart . . .

Family secrets, a brother's best friend's romance, and scandalous mystery combine in this delightfully witty historical rom-com—perfect for fans of Evie Dunmore, Enola Holmes, and Netflix's Bridgerton!

Lady Charlotte Lovett should have never run away upon discovering her betrothal. But when one has been promised to a man who, rumor has it, killed his previous two wives, one does what one must. The only thing that can get her out of this engagement is proving that Viscount Hawley is as sinister as she thinks he is. And the person who would know best is his very own brother.

In many ways, Dr. Matthew Talbot is the exact opposite of his sibling—scholarly, shy, and shunned by society. But like his brother, he has secrets, and he doesn’t need Charlotte exposing them in her quest to take down the viscount. It only seems prudent to help her while keeping her from poking her nose in all the wrong places. But as they put their hearts at risk to grow closer to each other, they are also getting closer to a dangerous confrontation with Hawley.

A story of love and astronomy told over the course of twenty years through the lives of two improbable best friends.

Thomas Hart and Grace Macauley are fellow worshippers at the Bethesda Baptist chapel in the small Essex town of Aldleigh. Though separated in age by three decades, the pair are kindred spirits – torn between their commitment to religion and their desire for more. But their friendship is threatened by the arrival of love.

Thomas falls for James Bower, who runs the local museum. Together they develop an obsession with the vanished nineteenth-century female astronomer Maria Veduva, said to haunt a nearby manor, and whose startling astronomical discoveries may never have been acknowledged. Inspired by Maria, and the dawning realisation James may not reciprocate his feelings, Thomas finds solace studying the night skies. Could astronomy offer as much wonder as divine or earthly love?

Meanwhile Grace meets Nathan, a fellow sixth former who represents a different, wilder kind of life. They are drawn passionately together, but quickly pulled apart, casting Grace into the wider world and far away from Thomas.

In time, the mysteries of Aldleigh are revealed, bringing Thomas and Grace back to each other and to a richer understanding of love, of the nature of the world, and the sheer miracle of being alive.

A ground-breaking book that reveals why our human biases affect the way we receive and interpret information

Our lives are minefields of misinformation. Stories, statistics and studies lie to us on a daily basis. Not only this but, as Professor Alex Edmans reveals, our brains lie to us too. He argues that we need to acknowledge and understand the role that our own human biases play in interpreting and digesting the information that we consume. It's only when we do, that we can actively resist being manipulated, and make informed decisions that improve our lives.

Dan kom haar pa, ’n bekende dokter van die Noord-Kaap, skielik tot sterwe. Asof sy ná ’n skeepsramp alleen in ’n reddingsboot sit, reik alle hande na haar vir hulp: haar verloofde, haar stiefma, haar stiefbroer en ’n gesondheidskliniek wat oorstroom ...

Op haar erfgrond, Koepelplaas, is daar boonop ’n vreemdeling wat volgens haar wederregtelik op die oewer van die rivier uitkamp. Hy lyk soos ’n boemelaar en word haar grootste probleem.

Net vriende. Dis al wat hulle is, sweer Karabo en Will. En dis waar.

Karabo het immers twee beloftes wat soos die Sondag-blues oor haar kop hang. Haar belofte aan haar tannie: dat sy nie eensaam en sonder liefde sou sterf soos sy nie. En haar belofte aan haarself: dat sy “die een” sal kry voor haar haar internskap by die hospitaal volgende jaar verby is. En Will, met sy motorfiets en leerbaadjies, is te wild om vir ewig aan iemand vasgeketting te wees, veral nie iemand soos sy nie. Hy slaan dan in kolle uit as iemand net “langtermynverhouding” noem.

So hulle is net pelle. Regtig. En pelle mag nie vryers word nie – dis algemene kennis.

Behalwe vir die klein feitjie dat Will heeltemal Karabo se hart gesteel het ... en sy het nie ’n idee hoe om dit terug te kry voor haar selfopgelegde sperdatum nie.

Twee mense.
Drie skote.

Kan Inneke ongeskonde van haar verlede ontsnap of is dit ’n sneller wat wag om af te gaan?

Toe ’n klein bakoorjakkals deur ’n vreeslose, brawe ratel gered word, besluit hy om by hom te bly vir beskerming. Die ratel dink eers glad nie dis oulik nie ... maar dalk het die jakkalsie ook ’n paar nuttige vaardighede!

’n Prettige en pragtige prenteboek oor vriendskap.
