About the book
THE COMPLETE SIX BOOK SERIES.
Nothing will stop this father from finding his daughter.
Not even the end of the world.
Detective Elijah Wade is on the trail of a serial killer when the skies above Los Angeles erupt into the most spectacular light show humanity has ever seen. And the most deadly. His daughter is in a hospital bed on the other side of the continent, but where does his duty lie now? To her, to justice or to his species?
Astronomer Hannah Redman watches as her colleagues die one by one, victims of a lethal dose of radiation. Can she survive long enough to discover what’s caused the catastrophe and whether it will happen again?
Two sisters arrive at the family cabin deep in the woods for a gathering that never happens. An old woman finds she’s not quite as prepared for the end of the world as she thought and a Mennonite couple remain true to their faith even as the Great Tribulation unfolds around them.
Each of these unique viewpoints has a part to play as the series unfolds.
This series focuses on the individual stories of a range of ordinary people as they struggle to cope with the most deadly event since the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs. Themes include EMP, preparedness and an examination of the true nature of humanity when the veneer of civilization is suddenly stripped away.
Mankind is on its knees, and the clock is ticking.

About the book
A USA TODAY and New York Times bestseller
Perfect for fans of Kasie West and Jenn Bennett, this “sweet and funny” (Kerry Winfrey, author of Waiting for Tom Hanks) teen rom-com follows a hopelessly romantic teen girl and her cute yet obnoxious neighbor as they scheme to get her noticed by her untouchable crush.
Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. Now that he’s back in town, Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar—and maybe snag him as a prom date—even befriend Wes Bennet.
The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbor might seem like a prime candidate for romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Liz’s butt since they were kids. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz’s in.
But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment, she’s shocked to discover that she likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must reexamine everything she thought she knew about love—and rethink her own ideas of what Happily Ever After should look like.

About the book
One year. His body. His blood. His surrender.
Investigative journalist Alex Carter has nothing left to lose—until he breaks into the wrong mansion and comes face to face with a centuries-old vampire with blood on his hands and murder in his eyes.
Lucien Beaumont should kill him. Instead, he makes an offer: one year as his companion—living in his penthouse, warming his bed, providing blood on demand—and the killing stops.
Alex accepts. He tells himself it's to save lives. That he's playing the hero.
He's lying.
Because with every feeding, every dark promise whispered against his skin, every moment of excruciating pleasure, Alex is falling for his beautiful captor. And Lucien—lonely, lethal, desperate for connection after centuries of isolation—is falling just as hard.
But their year is running out. And Lucien is offering something far more permanent than captivity.
He's offering forever.
A dark M/M vampire romance featuring captivity, dubious consent that becomes enthusiastic consent, blood play, possessive obsession, and a happily ever after that transcends mortality. For readers who like their vampires dangerous and their love stories intense.

About the book
‘Witty and knowing.’ Diamond Dagger Award-winner Simon Brett OBE
Five fiendishly twisty whodunnits. One sleepy seaside town. And a gang of sassy senior sleuths who like their mysteries as they like their tea: strong, complex and sweet enough without the sugar . . .
Welcome to Southbourne: the charming little coastal town that has it all — golden sands, tea shops galore . . . and an alarmingly high body count!
For Fiona, Daisy and Partial Sue — the trio of retired ladies who volunteer at Dogs Need Nice Homes charity shop — this place has always been a peaceful sanctuary. They won’t stand by and let it go to the dogs. (Though better the dogs than the cats.)
When their favourite customer is murdered in cold blood, the ladies decide enough is enough. Sarah Brown was a harmless eighty-something who loved bingo and rummaging for bargains. Who on earth would want her dead?
And so, the Charity Shop Detective Agency is born. Some may call them busybodies. But armed with sharp wits, sharper tongues, and an endless supply of tea and cake, this unlikely gang of sleuths are determined to uncover the truth — whether the police like it or not.
Wherever the ladies go, trouble is sure to follow! Whether they’re shopping for suspiciously sweet treats or spectating at a dog show, dipping their toes into wild swimming or strolling by the beach huts. But if anyone can sniff out a killer — between solving jigsaws and scoffing lemon drizzle — it’s Fiona, Daisy, Partial Sue . . . and one very scruffy terrier named Simon Le Bon.
Settle in with a cuppa — and prepare to binge five utterly delightful mysteries in one unbeatable-value box set!
Fans of Richard Osman, Robert Thorogood, Janice Hallett, Simon Brett, Ian Moore and Sarah Yarwood-Lovett are sure to be enchanted from the first page to the final twist!

About the book
The true crime story of how the nice guy next door became one of America's most wanted serial killers, by the author of Written in Blood and Bitter Remains.
She was young, terrified, and still bound in handcuffs when she was found on the street screaming for help . . .
To authorities she spilled the shocking details of a night of horror. It was the lead they'd been desperate for in a multi-state manhunt for an elusive serial killer. Where the witness took them was to the last man anyone would have suspected.
Richard Marc Evonitz was beloved by friends and family. He was handsome, intelligent, and compassionate. Serving a spotless eight years in the U.S. Navy, he was a town hero who lived in harmony in an exclusive South Carolina neighborhood. The only ones who saw Evonitz's dark side were his victims. They were helpless teenage girls who, one by one, were subjected to his twisted sexual fantasies of kidnap, rape, and murder—until his double life came undone by the brave cunning of his last young victim. But as authorities and the media descended upon him, Evonitz had one more shocking surprise in store for everyone—a stunning final act of violence and reckoning that would turn a bright sunlit morning blood red.
