Growing up with a parent’s addiction leaves ripple effects that can be felt well into adulthood. The trauma of familial dysfunction can weave into the fabric of your life, affecting relationships, parenting and work, and even leading to you questioning your own worth, mistrusting intimacy and feeling disconnected from yourself. But it doesn’t have to stay this way. In this nurturing book, clinical psychologist Dr Tian Dayton draws on expertise from decades working with adult children of alcoholics, as well as her own personal experience, to empower you to embrace recovery and break the chain of intergenerational dysfunction. She will guide you as you examine how addiction shaped your family, understand the imprint it left on your childhood and discover tools to heal and thrive. You will learn to process attachment wounds, reconnect with your body, regulate emotions and move towards post-traumatic growth. Grounded in research, enriched by client narratives and filled with practical exercises based on Dr Dayton's own Relational Trauma Repair (RTR) model, this book will allow you to recover from buried hurt and give your inner child a voice, illuminating the path towards a better future for yourself and your loved ones.

I was bleeding out and halfway to Hell when God sent me an angel. He had no business sending her to a man like me. She was sunshine wrapped in pink glitter - soft where I was jagged, and gentle enough to hurt. Under the sick glow of a streetlamp, I was delirious enough to tell her she was beautiful. And when she smiled and asked me to say it again, I almost believed I could be saved. But then she asked me something else. Something that stole the air from my lungs. “Can you keep a secret?” Turns out, even angels have sins. And this one should’ve left me to die before my world destroyed us both….
No good ever comes from a redhead in a stolen dress with her whole life packed at her feet. I should’ve known Penny Price was trouble the moment smoke and sin followed her into my bar and she challenged me to a game. I thought the only thing she stole was my watch. Little did I know, she also started a war. Because the second her muddy boots stomped down the stairs of the club, my empire began to crack. My cashmere charm is fraying. My gentleman’s mask is slipping. My enemies can smell the weakness. Penny Price thinks she’s dragging me to hell. But she doesn’t realise - hell’s exactly where I belong. After all, it’s wonderfully warm among the flames…

My name is Rory Carter, and I do bad things. I might smile like an angel, but underneath, my soul is far from clean. Not even my weekly calls to the Sinners Anonymous hotline can change that. Marrying the seventy-year-old head of the Cosa Nostra to save my father was the closest I’ve come to doing good. And I was surviving - one lie, one smile, one silk dress at a time - until his nephew showed up uninvited. Angelo “Vicious” Visconti. A beautiful monster with a sharper tongue than conscience. They say he went straight years ago, but I don’t believe it. Because Angelo is danger wrapped in desire - and when he looks at me, I can’t tell if he wants to ruin me or save me.

KILLING IS PART OF JASON BOURNE'S JOB. BUT THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL.
From California Governor Gavin Newsom (and a possible contender in the race for Democratic candidate in the 2028 Presidential election) comes an intimate and poignant account of identity, belonging, and the defining moments that inspired a life in politics. ‘Go slow,’ his political elders advised him, but Gavin Newsom has never known such a speed. For Newsom, the California Dream is what lured his father’s family from Ireland, six generations ago. His great-great-grandfather, a cop, walked a beat in San Francisco, where almost 150 years later Newsom would be elected as mayor. Newsom has never lived anywhere but California. His childhood was spent being tugged between two worlds: his mother worked three jobs in order to care for her children while his father, a close friend of the Getty family, brought Newsom into a world of wealth and connections. But the vantage point was valuable: he inherited his mother’s perseverance and his father’s reverence of California – not only its wildness, but its opportunity. In Young Man in a Hurry, Newsom traces the forces that have defined his ambitions as a politician. As mayor of San Francisco, he made waves when he violated state law in order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. He launched bold efforts to counter climate change, improve mental health care, and enhance gun safety. Elected as governor and entering office into immediate hyper-partisan headwinds from Washington, DC, Newsom has constantly and consistently stuck his neck out. Here, he reflects on the long journey that ultimately shaped him into one of the most recognizable and accomplished elected officials in America.
