All 20-year-old Daisy Haites has ever wanted is a normal life, but
as the heiress to London's most notorious criminal empire, it's
just not on the cards for her. Raised by her older brother Julian
since their parents were murdered, Daisy has never been able to
escape the watchful gaze of her gang-lord brother. But Julian's
line of work means that Daisy's life is... complicated. And things
don't become any easier when she falls hard for the beautiful and
emotionally unavailable Christian Hemmes, who also happens to be
one of the few men in London who doesn't answer to Julian.
Christian's life is no walk in the park either, since he's in love
with his best friend's girlfriend, Magnolia Parks. He's happy
enough to use Daisy to throw off the scent of his true affections -
until she starts to infiltrate those too. As their romance blossoms
into something neither were anticipating, Daisy, Christian, and
Julian must come to terms with the fact that in this life
everything comes at a price. As their relationships intersect and
tangle, they all learn that sometimes life's most worthwhile
pursuits can only be paid in blood. READER REVIEWS 'I will never

An exiled princess teams up with the last man she thought she could
trust in the start of an immersive debut fantasy series filled with a
sizzling reluctant allies-to-lovers romance, a world to get lost in,
dangerous quests, and dragon bonds.
She is vengeance. He will be her sword.
No one in Imirath had ever seen a dragon, until five eggs long thought
fossils hatched in the presence of their young princess, Elowen Atarah.
Fearing the power his daughter would wield through her soul-bond with
the creatures, King Garrick imprisoned her for many years, desperately
trying to break the bond that united them, until a daring rescue saved
Elowen from his clutches - but left her five precious dragons at his
mercy.
Years later, Elowen is now a woman determined to free her dragons.
Having established a queendom of her own, she is ready to do whatever
is necessary to save her people from starvation and seek vengeance
against her father. Even if that means leaving the home she built for
herself. Or having to align herself with the Commander of Vareveth,
Cayden Veles, the most feared and dangerous man in all the kingdoms of
Ravaryn and her father's sworn enemy.
Cayden promises to help Elowen if she will stand with him and all of
Vareveth in the pending war against Imirath. Despite their contrasting
motives, Elowen can't ignore their undeniable attraction as together
they plot to infiltrate her father's impenetrable castle to steal back
her dragons and seek revenge on their common enemy.
The pull between Elowen and Cayden becomes impossible to resist, even
when trusting each other seems both reckless and essential. But with
the threat of war looming over them, the imminent heist will be their
most dangerous adventure yet.
If you've ever found yourself waiting for a call that didn't come, The Man Who Didn't Call by Rosie Walsh is the book for you.
Imagine you meet a man, spend six glorious days together, and fall in love. And it's mutual: you've never been so certain of anything. So when he leaves for a long-booked holiday and promises to call from the airport, you have no cause to doubt him. But he doesn't call.
Your friends tell you to forget him, but you know they're wrong: something must have happened; there must be a reason for his silence. What do you do when you finally discover you're right?
That there is a reason -- and that reason is the one thing you didn't share with each other? The truth.
