Synopsis

'In a life full of books and not enough time to read them, I never read a novel twice. This one I will' Clo CareyWinner of the Irish Novel Fair 2021 
A compelling story of family, secrets, identity, and a reminder that love and life can surprise you… right until the very end. 
When Alina’s son, Fin, traces his long-absent birthfather, it’s the catalyst for decades of secrets to implode in Alina’s neatly ordered life. 
With the sudden appearance of Rory, and the ever-present pull of a very different life in Bangladesh, she’s left reeling. 
Three relationships, all of them built on half-truths. All Alina can truly be sure of, is that you can choose your family, you just can’t choose who they will turn out to be.

    Here’s a riddle for you. What has dark hair, two souls, and a really bad attitude? 
    Good question. Whatever it is, Neveah Lane is currently trapped in a motel room with it. 
    No one should be able to escape from Hell. No one should be able to wriggle out of a contractual soul-bond with a demon. Apparently, the creature that was once Mab, Queen of the Fae, has done both. 
    As the last angel on Earth, Neveah is determined to rescue the human whose body Mab hijacked during her rampage. Meanwhile, everyone else seems committed to capturing an innocent woman and dragging her off for summary execution to kill the thing inside her. 
    Briefly, Neveah thought she’d found an ally in Nigellus, the suave demon spymaster tasked with returning Mab to Hell. But everyone knows angels and demons don’t mix. To avert an all-out war between the realms, both Nigellus and Neveah will go to extreme lengths to achieve what they think is right. 
    Neither of them needs another enemy. On the contrary, both of them need all the friends they can get—but the ugly history between Heaven and Hell looms large. 
    Shared adversity might be good for building a bridge. Unfortunately, a flaming sword is better for burning it to ashes.

    A heartwarming holiday tale that will fill you with hope and love. 
      
    Faith Sterling relishes experiencing the great outdoors in style, so her job at Silver Bells Luxury Tours in Christmas Mountain, Montana is ideal. Sure, business has been slow of late, but hopefully the influx of tourists for the holiday season will give them the much-needed boost in sales they need. 
      
    Adam Kline is a city-boy who inherited Silver Bells Luxury Tours when his dad passed away. Adam regrets not spending more time with his dad due to his busy work schedule heading a PR firm in Manhattan. Since the store is a painful reminder of that fact, he wants nothing more than to sell it. 
      
    But Adam doesn’t count on Faith, who’s determined to show him how fantastic her small mountain town is, and convince him to keep the store and his dad’s dream alive. Soon, Adam is thinking about more than the future of the store—he’s thinking of a future with Faith. 
      
    Will the enchanting outdoor excursions be enough to convince Adam to take a chance on keeping the store open? More importantly, will a little Christmas magic help Faith and Adam remember that business is business, but love is what matters most of all?

    At the end of his working life, a vicar in the City of London thinks of himself as a failure: no one now seems to treasure the beliefs and religious practices of his youth; the church hierarchy is seemingly obsessed only with modern marketing and business methods which he doesn’t appreciate; and any love between him and his wife has long since vanished. Lacking any personal ambition, he takes on a rundown church and conducts his ministry there in the only way he knows: with understanding, compassion and Christian forgiveness. But in a few short months, the very building and its circumstances change him and his wife forever.
