About the book
Beth didn't expect to get pregnant at seventeen.
Nor did she think she'd lose the name and address of the father of her child. Swept up in romance on her French exchange, all she remembers is that his hair smelt like mangoes.
Now, in 2026, at her school reunion, she opens the time capsule she wrote to herself at that time. Inside she finds a letter that alters everything Beth thought she knew about her past, and provides an all important clue for finding the father of her 19-year-old daughter, Maisie.
Hit hard by the difference between the life she hoped for and the one she’s living, Beth is faced with a choice: chase the adventures she once dreamed of, or embrace the new opportunities life presents?

About the book
Six absolutely gripping Scottish crime mysteries. 1800 pages packed with twists and turns. Now in one complete great-value box set.
‘Templeton has become the crime tzar of the Scottish small town.’ Val McDermid.
Detective Kelso Strang hasn’t been sent to Skye to solve a case — he’s been sent there to disappear.
THE SETTING
These six unforgettable mysteries unfold across Scotland's stark, rugged, rural landscapes, where remote villages, desolate moors, rolling hills, and dramatic cliffs conceal a deeper tension.
From the windswept Flow Country to the stillness of the Scottish Borders, to the isolation of the Isle of Skye, each place reflects the secrets its people hide. The silence is broken only by the wind or the cry of a raven, masking an undercurrent of danger. These breathtaking locations are never what they seem — beneath their beauty lies a darkness waiting to be uncovered.
MEET THE DETECTIVE
DI Kelso Strang, once an army sniper and now a senior officer with the Edinburgh police force, is still reeling from the sudden death of his wife. It left him hollow, short-tempered, and increasingly difficult to reach. His job is the only thing that keeps him going. He now lives alone in a harbour cottage, where silence suits him better than small talk and black coffee keeps him steady. He reads old poetry, owns far too many maps and has a scar down one side of his face that people don’t ask about twice.

About the book
In this terrifyingly twisted thriller, a young couple discovers the horror held within their newly purchased dream house.
"Action-packed horror ... Fans of Stephen King and Paul Tremblay will find this a satisfying escape into the woods." ―Kirkus Reviews
“This is classic supernatural horror, made freshly compelling with believable characters and perfect pacing, and almost impossible to put down.” ―The Guardian
It’s the house of their dreams. Former marine Harry and his wife, Sasha, have packed up their life and their golden retriever, Dash, and fled the corporate rat race to live off the land in rural Idaho. Their breathtaking new home sits on more than forty acres of meadow, aspen trees, and pine forest in the Teton Valley. Even if their friends and family think it’s a strange choice for an up-and-coming pair of urban professionals, Harry and Sasha couldn’t be happier about the future they’re building, all by their lonesome.
That is, until their nearest neighbors, Dan and Lucy Steiner, come bearing more than housewarming gifts. Dan and Lucy warn Harry and Sasha of a malevolent spirit that lives in the valley, one that with every season will haunt them in fresh, ever-more-diabolical ways. At first, it seems like an old wives’ tale. But when spring arrives, so does the first evil manifestation, challenging everything Harry and Sasha thought they knew about the world.
As each season passes, the spirit grows stronger, the land more sinister, and each encounter more dangerous. Will Harry and Sasha learn the true meaning of a forever home before it’s too late? Haunting and bone-chilling, Old Country is a spellbinding debut in the horror genre.

About the book
Over 1,700 pages of gripping crime fiction from a former Buffalo PD cold case detective.
Meet a detective who's as relentless as a Lake Erie winter. The complete series in one outstanding-value box set.
Strong female lead. Buffalo cold. Cases everyone else gave up on.
In the freezing grip of upstate New York, Buffalo Cold Case Homicide detective Lauren Riley is as unyielding as the snow that comes howling in off the lake. She's twice divorced, raised two daughters alone, and they're grown now. Her partner Shane Reese has her back. Every cold case on her desk hides a killer who thought time was on their side.
Lauren doesn't break. She digs in. She carries the scars of a career spent inside the room with people who do unspeakable things. She knows the longer a case stays cold, the more comfortable a killer gets, and that's exactly when they make a mistake.
But her latest case isn’t cold — it’s red hot. When a married mother of two is found strangled behind a store, a teenage boy is accused of murder. His DNA is under the victim’s fingernails. His prints are on her car. But for Lauren, dragged into the investigation against her will, something doesn’t add up. And the deeper she digs, the more she suspects that nothing about this case is as it first seems.
These mysteries deliver authentic procedural detail, pitch-perfect dialogue, and a heroine who keeps coming back no matter how hard the case hits. With twenty years inside the Buffalo Police Department behind her, author Lissa Marie Redmond writes from the desk Lauren Riley sits at.
These compelling procedurals are perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner, Kathy Reichs, Tess Gerritsen and J.A. Jance.

About the book
KINDLE DEAL ONLY
Perfect. Privileged. And poisonous . . .
You know them.
The Instagram-influencing, pampered, never-had-a-problem-money couldn’t-fix, heirs of our nation’s elite.
Most people never get any closer to these ‘American royals’ than their social media streams, but not me.
No, I spend my days up close and personal with the famously infamous.
Picking up trash and cleaning their toilets is the opposite of glamorous, but it’s afforded me a few perks—like a scholarship to the exclusive Bryers University.
Thank god the Carlisle heirs, brooding sexy Jude and colder-than-ice Lila, haven’t caught on to the fact that their housekeeper—is also their classmate.
I’m already an outsider in enemy territory, and if the rest of the school finds out, a huge target will be placed on my back.
I’ve been careful and kept my head down. But I screwed up.
Because now, I’ve found myself on Jude’s radar.
Suddenly, our paths are constantly crashing into each other and I can’t escape him or his dark, pensive stare and wicked smile. Deliciously hateful sparks fly with each meeting, and it should push me away, but all it does is draw me in.
But I have to be careful.
Because letting him in, comes at a high price.
And the odds favor one outcome.
This is a dark bully romance intended for readers 18+. This book contains dark themes that some readers might be uncomfortable with.

Our take
Taking over her father’s business comes with one absolute rule: never mix work with pleasure. Then Axel arrives, a skilled distributor whose arrogance and persistence make him impossible to resist. Their secret affair threatens the career she has spent her life earning, but the consequences are even darker for Axel. If her father discovers them, his punishment could cost Axel his life.
Choose your retailer
About the book
My father has chosen me to succeed him in the family business.
But if I want the job, it comes with stipulations. And one of those stipulations is to never mix business with pleasure. AKA, don't sleep with anyone on the job. My father leads by example, and not once have I ever seen him get involved with anyone, not even his beautiful assistant. That was an easy rule to follow...until Axel.
Axel is an expert distributor, someone who knows how to get our product past the ruthless regulations mandated by the government. My father has never had a partner, but he makes an exception for Axel because he's good at what he does.
But the second our eyes meet...there's fire. He's by far the most handsome man I've ever seen, and his I couldn't care less attitude makes me weak. But I put up boundaries and reject his advances.
But this man doesn't stop until he gets what he wants.
One night together becomes the precursor to the most passionate affair of my life. If my father discovers our secret, it'll cost me my career...and it'll cost Axel his life. To make matters worse, I'm falling for this man...and I think he's falling for me too.
