Despite continued public and legislative concern about sex
trafficking across international borders, the actual lives of the
individuals involved--and, more importantly, the decisions that led
them to sex work--are too often overlooked. With Mobile
Orientations, Nicola Mai shows that, far from being victims of a
system beyond their control, many contemporary sex workers choose
their profession as a means to forge a path toward fulfillment.
Using a bold blend of personal narrative and autoethnography, Mai
provides intimate portrayals of sex workers from sites including
the Balkans, the Maghreb, and West Africa who decided to sell sex
as the means to achieve a better life. Mai explores the contrast
between how migrants understand themselves and their work and how
humanitarian and governmental agencies conceal their stories, often
unwittingly, by addressing them all as helpless victims. The
culmination of two decades of research, Mobile Orientations sheds
new light on the desires and ambitions of migrant sex workers
across the world.

"I strongly believe that this book will soon become a 'standard
reference' in studies of Albanian society, Albanian migration,
immigration to Italy (and possibly to Greece)." . Panos
Hatziprokopiou
Analysing the dynamics of the post-1990 Albanian migration to
Italy, this book is the first major study of one of Europe's
newest, most dramatic yet least understood migrations. It takes a
close look at migrants' employment, housing and social exclusion in
Italy, as well as the process of return migration to Albania. The
research described in the book challenges the pervasive stereotype
of the "bad Albanian" and, through in-depth fieldwork on Albanian
communities in Italy and back in Albania, provides rich insights
into the Albanian experience of migration, settlement and return in
both their positive and their negative aspects."

ONE TURKEY FARM, FIVE WILD COLLEAGUES AND A BARN FULL OF MYSTERY
When jilted crime writer August Saunders returns from London to her
roots in rural Wiltshire, she feels lost and lacking in
inspiration. Determined to reignite her writing mojo, she responds
to an advert for a shared workspace in a converted barn. At the
Hub, with its ill-equipped gym, inedible catering and motley array
of fellow users, including a matchmaker more interested in her own
conquests and a TikToker with a dodgy nocturnal sideline, August is
confronted with a real-life mystery to solve. Why is Max Ronson,
the handsome but volatile owner of the Hub, so evasive about his
past? And who or what is he hiding on the premises? She is
determined to find out - but will her curiosity snuff out the spark
of romance? Nicola May mixes mischief with mystery in a fast-paced
rural romp which will make Futtingbrook Farm as beloved a location
as Ferry Lane Market or Cockleberry Bay. Perfect for fans of Beth
O'Leary, Sarah Morgan, Jill Mansell and Cathy Bramley.
The cast of the runaway bestseller, The Corner Shop in Cockleberry
Bay, are back - including Rosa, Josh, Mary, Jacob, Sheila, new mum
Titch and, last but by no means least, Hot, the adorable dachshund.
Newly wed, and with her inherited corner shop successfully up and
running, Rosa Smith seems to have all that anyone could wish for.
But the course of true love never did run smooth and Rosa's
suspicions that her husband is having an affair have dire
consequences. Reaching rock bottom before she can climb back up to
the top, fragile Rosa is forced to face her fears, addiction and
jealousy head on. With a selection of meddling locals still at
large, a mystery fire and Titch's frantic search for the real
father of her sick baby, the second book in this enchanting series
takes us on a further unpredictable journey.
WINNER OF BEST AUTHOR READ AWARD - FESTIVAL OF ROMANCE. They all
meet at the school gates but their kids are the last thing on their
minds. At 3.10pm every weekday, parents gather at Featherstone
Primary in Denbury to collect their children. For a special few,
the friendships forged at the school gates will see them through
lives filled with drama, secrets and sorrows. When Yummy Mummy
Alana reveals the identity of her love-child's father, she doesn't
expect the consequences to be quite so extreme. Earth Mummy (and
former au pair) Dana finds happiness in her secret sideline, but
really all she longs for is another child. Slummy Mummy Mo's
wife-beating husband leads her down a path she never thought
possible, and Super Mummy Joan has to cope when life deals her a
devastating blow. And what of Gay Daddy Gordon? Will he be able to
juggle parenthood and cope with his broken heart at the same time?
Four very different mothers. One adorable dad. And the intertwining
trials and tribulations that a year at the primary school gates
brings.
After an unexpected redundancy, Ruby begins to question her
priorities. Inspired by a quote from Kahlil Gibran about loving
your work, she launches her mission to find the ideal job. Her year
of gainful (and sometimes painful) employment includes: nannying
for clients in the South of France; dealing with embarrassing
ailments in a Harley Street Clinic; waiting tables in a buzzy Soho
cafe; and meeting the celebs of years gone by in a home for retired
actors. And, even though love is no longer top of her list,
relationships just seem to start happening along the way - which
sees her handing out some P45s of her own. Will any of the jobs -
or men she meets - see her dreams come true? Or will Ruby just end
up back where she started?

Cali Summers is faced with this decision and hits the world of fast

All our favourite characters from Cockleberry Bay are back,
including Hot, Rosa Smith's adorable dachshund, and his new-born
puppies. Now successfully running the Cockleberry Cafe and wishing

important legal proviso: that the shop cannot be sold, only passed
on to somebody who really deserves it. Rosa is torn. How can she
make such a huge decision? And will it be the right one? Once the
news gets out, untrustworthy newcomers appear in the Bay, their
motives uncertain. With the revelation of more secrets from Rosa's
family heritage, a new series of unpredictable and life-changing
events begins to unfold. The Gift of Cockleberry Bay concludes this
phenomenally successful series in typically brisk and bolshy style
and will delight Rosa's many thousands of fans.
Book Three in bestselling sensation Nicola May's gorgeous new
series - catch up with Book One, WELCOME TO FERRY LANE MARKET, and
Book Two, STARRY SKIES IN FERRY LANE MARKET, now! 39-year-old
Glanna Pascoe - also known as 'the Rainbow Painter' - runs the
Hartmouth Gallery in Ferry Lane Market in Cornwall. She is just
getting her head and broken heart around being single, childless,
and sober when Cupid flies in, shooting arrows all over the place.
Meeting the mysterious and fascinating Isaac Benson, famous local
artist, and recluse, allows Glanna's disillusioned heart and
attitude to soften, and she begins to learn more about herself than
she ever thought possible. Confused by her growing feelings for
Isaac, Glanna throws herself into organising a life-drawing class
at her gallery, using both male and female nudes - and setting
local tongues wagging. A theft from her gallery and the return of
ex-love Oliver Trueman cause Glanna to wonder if a pot of gold will
be appearing at the end of her rainbow. And will it bring her the
happiness, she has sought for so long? Praise for Nicola May! 'This

Bestselling sensation Nicola May is back with a brand new series!
'Delightful and witty with a heroine you'll be rooting for . . .
joyful escapism' Milly Johnson 'Spirited, adventurous and full of
heart!' Heidi Swain Although thirty-three-year-old Kara Moon loves
her hometown of Hartmouth in Cornwall, she has always wondered if
she should have followed her dream of going off to study floristry.
But she couldn't bring herself to abandon her emotionally delicate
single father, and has worked on Ferry Lane Market's flower stall
ever since leaving school. When her good-for-nothing boyfriend
cheats on her and steals her life savings, she finally dumps him
and rents out her spare room as an Airbnb. Gossip flies around the
town as Kara welcomes a series of foreign guests to her flat
overlooking the estuary. Then an anonymous postcard arrives, along
with a plane ticket to New York. And there begins the first of
three trips of a lifetime, during which she will learn important
lessons about herself, her life and what she wants from it - and
perhaps find love along the way. More praise for Nicola May! 'This
