[18+] When Sasha strikes up a friendship with her gorgeous boss, the lines between professional and personal start to blur. ***** Sasha Henshaw can't believe her luck when she lands a job at Montgomery's, one of London's most prestigious companies. Working for 24-year-old Alastair Montgomery isn't easy, though, especially when he acts more like a friend than a boss. Assuming the role of his right-hand woman, Sasha finds herself deeply involved in Alastair's life, witnessing everything from his struggle to make his father proud, to his heartbreak over a relationship that ended three years ago. But when the company is thrown into the spotlight, the lines between professional and personal relationships become blurred, and Sasha realises she's close to being wrapped up in an office affair that doesn't stop when the clock strikes five.

Isobel encounters many challenges when she moves to Italy, but managing a long-distance relationship is the biggest one. *** Italy: home of pizza, pasta and prosecco. It will also be Isobel's home for the next year as she embarks on her Erasmus placement in Bologna. However, she soon discovers that life in Italy isn't just about enjoying the local cuisine. Language barriers, culture shocks and an unfamiliar city are just some of the obstacles she'll have to contend with during her time there. Then there's the added challenge of a long-distance relationship. Living 1000 miles away from each other, Nathan and Isobel find their chemistry more explosive than ever when together, but struggle to maintain the same level of emotional intimacy when apart. With the help of her flatmate, Isobel creates a list of ideas to prevent the distance from having an impact on her relationship. From romantic love letters to racy Skype sessions, Isobel hopes that her list will contain everything she needs to help her--and Nathan--get through Italy.

The time apart threatens to take its toll, while their time together burns hotter than ever. Can they balance work, studying, and romance--or will outside forces get under their skin?

Isobel's world is turned upside down when she meets a mysterious guy who reveals a devastating secret about her boyfriend. *** Isobel and Matt had been best friends for most of their school life when they decided to start dating. Comfortable around each other and knowing everything there was to know, a relationship seemed like a natural--and exciting--step for them.

When Nathan arrives on the scene and secrets from the past become exposed, Isobel's world is set to change. Mysterious, dangerous and infuriatingly persistent, Nathan is the opposite of everything she's known. But maybe that's just what she needs to get over Matt.

[18+] Sophia has to ignore her steamy chemistry with British popstar Teddy Stone in order to get revenge on him for upsetting her best friend. *** Pop sensation Teddy Stone has millions of devoted fans, a squeaky-clean reputation, and a craving for some normality in his fast-paced life. Travel blogger Sophia Palmer has a dwindling bank balance, a fear of crowds, and no interest in Teddy Stone's music. Nevertheless, when her best friend Becca-a self-proclaimed fangirl-scores VIP tickets to his concert, Sophia agrees to go with her. During a meet-and-greet with the popstar afterwards, he shows his true colours. With Becca heartbroken, the girls are ready to delete all existence of Teddy Stone from their lives... until he slides into Sophia's DMs. A plan is hatched: if Teddy wants to date Sophia, then she will play along, secretly gathering dirt to sell to the media to crush his immaculate image. An invitation to join his press tour around Europe provides a perfect excuse to get close to him through late-night chats in hotel rooms, cosy dinners, and dancing in exclusive clubs. But with sexual tension sizzling between the pair, loyalties are put to the test, and Sophia begins to suspect she's not the only one hiding a secret.

{WATTY'S 2020 WINNER & EDITOR'S PICK.} Hopeless romantic and aspiring writer Mare Atwood has fallen madly in love with her childhood correspondent. There's only one catch-she doesn't know who he is. When the beaus of Star's Crossing return from boarding school to begin the courting season, Mare is determined to uncover the identity of her writer, flout her family's intentions of orchestrating an advantageous marriage, and procure the life of writing and romance she's always sought. But as in the tales she so adores, it won't be easy. Galas, masquerades, picnics, and hunts-alongside an old friend, a former teacher, and an unlikely ally, Mare delves into an investigation that leaves her torn between three clever, deceptive, and wealthy young bachelors. If Mare can confirm which is her writer and claim his hand before the courting season ends, she'll have her wish: the love of her life, a valuable marriage, and a future of writing romance. But with the eyes of Star's Crossing upon her, a business plot forcing invisible hands, and the unwillingness of her writer to come forward-Mare's future may not end in triumph, but tragedy. Set against the gilded Victorian backdrop of coastal Connecticut and lush with pre-war luxury, fans of Jane Austen, Margaret Mitchell, and Louisa May Alcott are sure to enjoy this lighthearted, lyrical novel of young love, independence, and identity. #1 Literary #1 YA Romance #1 Victorian #1 Lyrical #8 General Fiction
