Every drawing room in England has a story about Lord Lynmouth. The Right Honourable Xavier Julius Devereux, Fourth Earl of Lynmouth. Brilliant, enigmatic and impossibly eligible, he is the man mothers covet, debutantes admire and society cannot stop talking about. At forty, he has become less a gentleman and more a legend. Cordelia Bridgerton has known those stories for years. A broken engagement, persistent illness and seasons spent away from the heart of London left the quiet Bridgerton twin watching society from its edges. So she stitched together whispered conversations, scandal sheets and second-hand tales until she knew Lord Lynmouth without ever having met him. Then the legend walks into her life. The man behind the myth is kinder than the rumours, stranger than the gossip and infinitely more captivating than the fantasy she had built around him. As old expectations crumble beneath glittering ballrooms, impossible conversations and a love neither of them saw coming, Cordelia discovers that the rarest things in life are never adored at first glance. Some people are simply an acquired taste.

Being queer in Nigeria today is complicated. Some of us might say we're lucky, while others would argue we aren't. But whether you think we're lucky or not, there was a time when things were much worse. There was a time when women who loved women believed something was wrong with them. A time when not being attracted to men or remaining unmarried could make society label you a witch. Many lived their entire lives confused, ashamed, and afraid because they had no words for what they felt. The Memory of Us was born from that question: What became of those women? It tells the story of Mara and Nana, two women whose love wasn't just forbidden by family or neighbours, but by an entire system that never gave them the chance to understand, let alone live, the truth of who they were. This is a historical coming-of-age drama, a forbidden romance, a family saga, and a second-chance story spanning nearly fifty years. It's a story about love, sacrifice, heartbreak, resilience, and the memories that stay with us long after people are gone. This is my first novel, and I'd genuinely love for you to read it. If you do, please be honest. Tell me what you loved, what you didn't, and what you think I could improve. Every piece of constructive criticism will help me grow as a writer. I hope Mara and Nana's story stays with you long after you've turned the final page.

The Book of the Common Lot is set in 1908, in the Yorkshire town of Rookstone. Young clerk Anne discovers that the old ledger left by her father allows her to temporarily bear another's pain - and to trace who has secretly been shifting their suffering onto others. She believes this power will help her keep her job and save the workers, only to realise, piece by piece, that the mutual aid society, the factory, and the state itself all tally human fates in the name of "fairness." As Anne and journalist Will investigate side by side - caught between love, power, and sacrifice - she forces everyone to publicly confess a truth that cannot be undone: No one bears winter alone. What one bears, all shall know.

Mia Zhao lives a very modest life on the suburbs of Budapest, hanging on an apathetic quotidian. Until a cool, indecipherable man appears and throws her entire world off its axis.

After surviving a near-fatal plunge into a palace pond, Concubine Seong wakes up a completely changed woman. Gone is the timid, weeping noblewoman who hid in the shadows of the Imperial Court. In her place is a surprisingly sharp, unbothered woman whose only remaining desire in life is to sleep in, enjoy sweet persimmons, and build her dream garden. There's just one problem. Her sudden, dramatic transformation catches the eye of Yi Do-hyeon-the cold, workaholic young Emperor who usually ignores his inner court entirely. She just wanted a peaceful, lazy life doing the absolute bare minimum... so why is the tyrant monarch suddenly so obsessed with her every move?

She was never meant to be wanted by kings. Sera Snow runs White Harbor's fortunes from behind a merchant's ledger, a bastard's name, and a temper she's learned to keep leashed. She has no house, no inheritance, no future that isn't built with her own two hands. What she has is leverage, appetite, and a rage six years in the making, and she intends to spend all three claiming what the world has never given her freely. Jacaerys Velaryon wants her like a secret he's finally allowed to keep. Cregan Stark wants her like a debt he's owed since they were children. Neither of them can offer her what she actually wants, which isn't a crown, or a wolf's den, or anyone's name at all.

A heart carved of stone. A soul born of the wind. A devotion written in the stars.Some souls are born to carry the weight of the world, silenced by duty and locked away behind a flawless armor of absolute stoicism. Others belong entirely to the open sky, wandering through the shadows of life, guided only by wild instincts and an untamed spirit.He is a prisoner to an empire's heavy crown, trapped in a reality as beautiful and cold as white marble.She is a phantom of the desert winds, answering to no one, carrying the fierce loneliness of a solitary existence. They exist in two completely separate universes, divided by boundaries that should never be crossed. Yet, when their paths collide, the silence shatters. In the quiet depth of his isolated life, her wild, unyielding presence awakens a dormant storm. For a man who has only ever known sacrifice, his love for her becomes a fierce, unspoken vow-a desperate, protective urge to shield the wind that brought him back to life, even if it means rewriting his entire destiny. In return, her love transforms into a quiet, absolute devotion-a sacred shield wrapped around his weary, aching heart. She does not ask him to cast away his heavy burdens; she chooses to carry them with him. Bound by a connection that defies everything they have ever known, two opposite worlds must blur their edges to create a sanctuary of their own.
