A swoony, speculative and entirely electric YA debut with a humorous
and satirical take on the conventions of the superhero-verse, for fans
of Michelle Quach's Not Here To Be Liked and the Marvel Universe.
Seventeen-year-old Jenna Ray has just been saved by the world's newest
superhero, Blaze. And, in the eyes of the public, that means one thing:
Jenna Ray has been cast as the Love Interest.
No. Not happening. Not if Jenna has anything to say about it (even if
Blaze is actually quite sweet and cute).
But her plans to defy the HPA (the Heroics and Power Authority) and
turn down this new role are thwarted when the Villains begin to take an
interest in her and offer a life-changing proposition; become Blaze's
Love Interest, while avoiding catching feelings for him, to uncover the
HPA's secret plans and find her missing mum.
To make matters even more complicated, just as Jenna starts to embrace
her new-found career, she discovers she might be more on the side of
the superheroes than she ever imagined .
Estelle Laure is a bright new talent with a gorgeous voice -
perfect for fans of John Green and Rainbow Rowell. Eden has always
let her head lead the way. It's why she excels at ballet, at
school, and at life in general. But when she nearly drowns and then
wakes from a month-long coma, everything is different. She's
troubled by dreams that seem more real than waking life, and her
neat cookie-cutter existence is no longer satisfying. Unable to
stifle her passionate heart anymore, she finds herself drawn to a
boy with melting-chocolate eyes, and to a future different to what
she ever imagined. That's when Eden discovers that when it comes to
love, first you fall, then you have to leap. Estelle Laure's debut,
This Raging Light, was a stunning debut with an unforgettable voice
that has captured the hearts of readers around the world.

months to find his One True Love and save his own life. But things

New sparks. Old flames. A mission that's playing with fire.
A year has passed since superstar Winter Young last saw secret agent Sydney Cossette. After barely surviving their first assignment together in London, the two haven't spoken at all. Though they're never far from each other's thoughts, or fantasies.
So when Sydney shows up at Winter's studio one day with a new mission from Panacea, he has no choice but to accept. With the clock ticking, the duo prepares to head to Singapore to rescue an operative in danger, only to learn he's no other thanSydney's ex, a rogue agent known as the Arsonist.
Of course, nothing is ever simple when it comes to Winter and Sydney. Especially not with the glamorous Gavi Gainsburg, a globe-trotting socialite and Winter's one-time girlfriend, in the mix. Is she back for Winter's heart - or does she have her eye on another prize?
The smoldering sequel to New York Times bestselling Stars and Smoke follows Winter and Sydney on yet another treacerous mission that grows more sinister with each twist and turn. To make it out alive, they'll have to figure out how to be partners again ...and perhaps become something more.
