In 2025, dating is a graveyard. For Bronte, it's about to get literal. Twenty-seven-year-old Bronte is officially over it. She's been ghosted by three guys in a month, her career is stuck in loading mode, and her mother won't stop sending her TikToks about manifesting a soulmate. When she moves into a creaky, charm-filled flat that's suspiciously cheap, she thinks her luck is finally changing. In a world of swipe-lefts and read receipts, she found the only man who stays... even if he's been dead for eighty years.

A cynical HR manager sent to Paris to fire half an office falls for the one employee she absolutely shouldn't: a twenty-two-year-old jazz musician who refuses to behave like an adult. Zelda is having a bad day. Actually, she's been having a string of bad days. After a failed marriage and the loss of a parent, moving to Paris was supposed to be a fresh start. Instead, as the HR manager of a top-tier consulting firm, she's been sent there with one mission: clean up the office. In other words, fire everyone. The last thing she needs is Jake, a twenty-two-year-old intern who seems completely immune to authority, deadlines, and common sense. He thinks she's an obnoxious robot. She thinks he's an infuriating pain in her neck. Unfortunately, they're forced to work together. Even more unfortunately, neither of them is being entirely honest. Set between Parisian cafés, late-night jazz clubs and one very dysfunctional office, How To Let Go is a witty and heartfelt romantic comedy about grief, second chances, and finding love exactly where company policy says you shouldn't. For readers who love Emily Henry, Beth O'Leary and slow-burn workplace romance.

Annabelle hadn't wanted to burn the restaurant down initially. In all honesty, she had been in a good mood. The food smelled great, the weather was perfect, and the boy she had met on Tinder looked like an absolute snack in all his pictures. But then, he rocked up to the date half an hour late, without an apology. Worse yet, he didn't look anything like his Tinder photos. In fact, he looked old enough to be her uncle. Still, she has to admit that, while her date sucks, the food is tasty. Plus, the waiter is also pretty cute. Besides, when that same waiter offers her a hand in serving some revenge to her catfishing date, Annabelle just can't say no. Does this charming waiter spell trouble? Possibly. But, surely, once revenge is served cold, there is always room for dessert, hey?

Frankie's about as far from a 'cougar' as it's possible to get. Sure, she's an older, attractive woman and he's a younger, hot guy but she doesn't own a pair of killer heels, she'd never contemplate Botox and she's definitely not in the market for a toy boy. For goodness sake, he's barely older than her daughter who also, incidentally, happens to be his friend. Sometimes, though, life has a funny way of giving you what you actually need rather than what you think you need!

Everyone has a fear. Fear of spiders? Arachnophobia. Fear of small spaces? Claustrophobia. And of course, the fear of being tickled by feathers: pteronophobia. Sophie Smart fears drowning. No, her fear isn't some made up malarkey like exposedflabophobia (acute paranoia when wearing a swimsuit and baring pasty thighs and a round bottom). Sophie drowned as a child. She died for three minutes. Her childhood trauma is real. Yet Sophie, hot-shot advertising executive, isn't a child anymore. Now Sophie's most important client, handsome Matthew Silver, is insisting she learn how to swim. She can't blame him really - he's the owner of a chain of swimming centers, and Sophie's in charge of his new advertising campaign. The last thing Sophie wants to do is get in the water, in a clingy swimsuit, with a client she's trying to impress. She's not going to win him over flapping around like an idiot, is she? But with a broken heart from her last relationship, maybe getting into the pool is just what Sophie needs. Maybe she can trust Matthew with her fears. Maybe it's time for her to forget about her past and take the plunge?

*** The Wattpad #1 and a Most Read Award Winner *** Hubble, bubble, the witch is in trouble, the ballerina's broken and the vet's in disgrace. Living in the Lakes is going to be murder. When Patrick's photographed in flagrante with a local beauty queen, his father delivers an ultimatum: one more newspaper scandal and Patrick will be disowned - no house and no job at the family veterinary practice. Desperate not to lose his easy life in the country, Patrick needs to avoid trouble - and girls like Libby. Until she moved to the Lakes, Libby hadn't had sex on a first date, let alone indulged in a one-night-stand. But after flings with the local policeman and a married man, her morals unravel causing the local rag to dub her 'The Libertine'. Infamous and still mourning her previous career as a ballerina, Libby casts a Wicca spell to summon a new love. Good-looking, honest, non-brown eyes, English, likes animals... in a nutshell: Patrick, a man she's never met. But fighting Libby's love spell will be the least of Patrick's problems when an old lady dies from a ketamine overdose. The drug was stolen from his surgery and she's the third pensioner to die in as many months. Tongues will wag. ***** Caution ***** While Distraction is rated PG13, it does contain strong language and scenes of a sexual nature. Please don't read it if these things offend you. Cx
