From the bestselling author of Everything Is Beautiful, comes an utterly heartwarming new novel, about what it truly means to belong to those you love.

When unexpected circumstances bring Grace's estranged daughter Amelia and granddaughter Charlotte to live in her home, complicated feelings start to emerge, revealing a messy and emotional past which drove this family apart.

It will take a school mystery, an exquisite miniature railway and some brave decisions to help them each find not only themselves, but also each other - and to appreciate what it truly means to belong together.

A woman falls to her death from a London bank's twenty-fifth-floor roof terrace. Tate Kinsella, a single out-of-work actor who's been temping at the bank, is arrested for her murder.

Tate confesses to having been alone with the victim minutes before she died, but insists she had nothing to do with the tragedy. She's been framed, she tells her lawyer, who agrees to help prove her innocence. But it soon becomes clear that Tate's story is not wholly consistent, and that she may indeed be lying.

Whose secrets is she keeping? And why? As the mystery unfolds it becomes apparent that the key to the truth lies in the past, and nothing about the woman on the ledge is as straightforward as it first appears.

Obsession. Intrigue. Revenge. The Woman on the Ledge is a psychological thriller and a powerful story of female friendship that won't let you go until the final gripping page.

An electrifying wild ride of a debut novel from award-winning playwright Anders Lustgarten

Meet Cherry, a bandit queen on the run, driving a pink soft-top convertible through the badlands of South-East England. She's never felt more Thelma & Louise in her life - except there are three of them in the car and one of them is dead.

How did a head nurse and mother of two end up driving a handcuffed policeman and the corpse of a murdered refugee on a journey to find justice? Pursued by a racist, roid-raged, shaven-headed officer of the law - not to mention by her husband and daughter - what else can a woman with a conscience do in modern Britain?

Thrilling, radical and darkly comedic, Anders Lustgarten's open-hearted storm of a book explores pressing political concerns with clear-sightedness and holds a mirror up to contemporary Britain.

Edward is living in a world he can't afford and to which he doesn't belong. To camouflage himself, he has catered to his friends' needs: fetching drycleaning, sorting flowers for premieres. It's a noble effort, really - anything to keep his perfectly awful 'best pals' Robert and Stanza happy. In return, his proximity to their abundance might sponge the shame of his birth and violent past cleanly away.

But Edward has - secretly - been in love with Stanza since their Cambridge days. The shattering discovery that Stanza and Robert are an item pushes him too far. His little acts of kindness take a sinister turn, giving way to the unspeakable brutality Edward fears is at his core.

Are there limits to what he will do for his friends? Are there limits to what he will do to them?

OAKLEY

I have one goal. To be drafted into the NHL and make my father proud. I've never been interested in dating, not when all of my spare time is spent at the rink perfecting my craft. There's no time for distractions. I can't afford them.

But she came out of nowhere. Octavia Layton, the girl with the pretty smile and the broken heart. One night spent talking beneath the stars and now she won't get out of my head.

I never expected to see her again, but now she's here in this new city, with ties to my new team, and I don't think I'm strong enough to fight against her pull.

AVA
I hate hockey players. After a nasty breakup, I've sworn them all off for good. Or so I thought.

We met when I had puffy eyes and a broken heart, but I didn't know who he was until he shows up in my city months later as a new member of our local hockey team. The sweet guy who so easily made the ache in my chest go away with lame jokes and a swoon-worthy smile is here, and he wants me.

Despite everything I said I wouldn't do, I can't seem to stay away from him. But dating a future NHL player isn't the life I imagined for myself, and as things keep going wrong, I'm starting to wonder if maybe the best-made plans aren't always the ones you expect.
