"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

You can travel the world together and still feel the distance. A Canadian man returns to Greece with his Greek wife, hoping that time away-ancient ruins, mountain roads, olive groves warmed by sun-might soften what years of responsibility have tightened. They are not broken. But they are no longer certain they are moving in the same direction. As they travel, old myths surface alongside newer doubts. Symbols recur-the owl, the olive, the laurel-quiet reminders that love, like history, survives through attention and care, not grand gestures. What begins as a shared journey becomes an intimate reckoning with marriage, desire, aging, and the fear of losing the person who knows you best. This is not a story about falling in love. It is about choosing each other-again. For readers who love slow-burn relationships, emotionally intelligent storytelling, second-chance love, and romances where connection deepens through honesty rather than spectacle.

The coffee mug was orange. Dr. Sarah Leroux noticed it the morning of November the eighteenth, reaching for it the way you reach for things that belong to you. She did not buy orange things. She had never bought orange things. The mug was hers anyway, with a chip on the rim that her thumb knew without looking. It was the first thing she noticed. The book on the shelf she did not remember buying was the second. The partner at his desk, present and not present, was the third. The hydrogen emission line in her overnight astronomy data, fractionally shifted at exactly 03:14 that morning, was the fourth. By lunchtime she had confirmed it across four observatories on three continents. The fundamental electromagnetic constant of the universe had shifted overnight while she slept. Every record on Earth said it had always been this way. Only she seemed to remember it being different, and even she could not say what different felt like, only that the morning was wrong in a way that fit too perfectly to fight. By dinnertime she had found a paper that predicted exactly this, published eighteen months ago by a physicist on research leave with no return date. The paper's acknowledgements thanked four colleagues for their feedback. The third name on the list was her partner. He had never mentioned it. Now she is driving east on the autoroute toward Sherbrooke to find the woman who collapsed the universe, with a presence in the passenger seat she cannot see and cannot name, and a text on her phone from someone who knew she was about to pull over before she knew. A literary sci-fi serial in the same universe as I'm the Last Person Who Remembers the Original Timeline. I Have Four Days. Same event. Different perspective. Reads alone. Hits harder together.

A novel of love, loss, and honour amidst the horrors of war and its aftermath. In the summer of 1916, Private Daniel Baker marches into battle with the boys of Nova Scotia’s 25th Battalion. Out of brutal necessity, Danny has steeled himself against the trials and horrors of war, but he is completely unprepared to meet the love of his life in war-torn France. Audrey Poulin has the soul of an artist. She lives alone with her grandmother in the quiet French countryside, where her only joy is in her brush and palette. When, by chance, she encounters Danny, the handsome young soldier captures her heart and inspires her painting. The young lovers believe that only together can they face the hardships the war brings. But love is just the beginning. Mere months later, Danny is gravely wounded at the Battle of the Somme, and his future is thrown into uncertainty. Soon, he and Audrey find themselves struggling to build a new life in Halifax, a city grieving its lost men. As the grey winter of 1917 sets in, Danny’s lack of purpose and Audrey’s isolation continue to mount, pulling the two apart just as a new catastrophe threatens their existence. Heartrending and enthralling, Tides of Honour is a novel of love and second chances set against Halifax’s most devastating moment of the First World War.

When a single scratch means death, it is paramount you find someone to watch your back. Unfortunately, survivor Caroline Wolfe has never had this privilege. When the plague began to ravage the world as she knew it, she was left to fend for herself, forcing her into positions she never wished upon anyone. The plague broke out five years before, killing over 90% of the world's population. It turned those she thought she could trust into mindless, undead, monsters and creatures controlled by survival, not loyalty. Caroline was lucky to have made it out of Ottawa alive, thanks to the help of her childhood in the Yukon, learning how to fight and survive with more traditional weapons. When she finds herself trapped within the confines of an abandoned apartment complex in what was Caledon, she has to make a choice. Either face the undead alone or help the mysterious, accented, skull faced man she finds within and tether herself to him for the foreseeable future. What she isn't expecting is to find someone she can lean on and, even, learn to love. The idea of a cure and the promise of answers loom on the horizon, but the question is if she can find it in herself to trust another. .｡❅*⋆⍋*∞*｡*∞*⍋⋆*❅｡.
