  Grand Theft Giro is a raw, funny and deeply human Scottish memoir written and narrated by Frankie Gault. Set across the streets, schemes and shorelines of Inverclyde, these true stories move between chaos and tenderness, addiction and recovery, trouble and survival. Frankie tells of growing up on the west coast of Scotland in a world of giro days, dodgy decisions, near-disasters and second chances, where the line between comedy and catastrophe is always thin. 
  From time in prison and nights that spiralled out of control, to the unexpected kindness of strangers and the quiet loyalty of friends, each story reveals another side of working-class life in Scotland. Some chapters are laugh-out-loud funny; others are hard to listen to. All are told with unflinching honesty, sharp observation and a deep affection for the people and places that made him. 
  Told in Frankie’s own voice, this unabridged audiobook offers an unfiltered portrait of a man who has lived through darkness, stumbled towards recovery and found meaning in telling the truth about where he came from. 
  For listeners who enjoy real Scottish stories, working-class memoirs and humour drawn from lived experience, Grand Theft Giro is a powerful, unforgettable journey through one man’s life in Inverclyde.

  All Naya and Jake want is their own home. That's not too much to ask, right? 
  ‘A wildly original, darkly funny love story about desperation, house prices, and making terrible decisions together. Most Wanted is criminally good’ Steve Jones 
  ‘Fresh, original and absolutely brimming with energy. One of the very best crime capers I’ve read in a LONG time’ Jonathan Whitelaw 
  'The protagonists' desperation for affordable housing is completely relatable for anyone who has tried to buy a house this century. This book was quick, funny, and captured the very real financial struggles of the moment' Tasha Coryell 
  ‘A brilliantly funny and twisty thriller. As dark as it is hilarious, with relatable characters that you really care about, this book really delves into the dark world of gentrification and property while still being a wonderfully entertaining ride of a book’ Kate Weston 
  ‘I tore through this hilarious, twisty and poignant story of two people desperate for a home of their own. It's a must read for anyone who's ever bought a property… or dreamt about doing so. A fabulous takedown of our national obsession with home ownership.’ Lauren Schott 
  'A deliciously fresh take on the housing market, terrific fun' Ian Moore 
  'Most Wanted somehow makes the headache of first-time home ownership a gripping, pacy and funny story, loaded with twists and turns that keep you guessing right up to that gut punch ending. I loved it' Dawn O'Porter 
  *** 
  All Naya and Jake want is their own home. An island in the kitchen. A wine cooler, maybe… Nothing fancy really. 
  With artisanal coffee shops and microbreweries popping up on every corner, prices are skyrocketing. And as Jake and Naya tour property after property, one thing becomes clear: unless they want to share their home with black mould, they need to find a way to make the market crash. And fast. 
  There’s only one thing for it: they're going to have to take matters into their own hands. But how far are they willing to go? 
  For fans of Talia Hibbert (Act Your Age, Eve Brown), Charish Reid (Mickey Chambers Shakes It Up), Kennedy Ryan (Can’t Get Enough), Beth O'Leary (Swept Away), and Ruth Kelly (The Ice Retreat).

  My name is Natalie Archer, and I confess to loving nothing more than scheduling my life. And by scheduling, I mean every aspect. So why not schedule my wedding? Do I have a groom? No. Am I dating anyone? Also no. But I have a plan. A good plan, even, to find a Mr. Right who fits all my criteria. The biggest one being he MUST not be famous. Been there, and never doing that again. I’m just about ready to put my plan into action when my famous ex reenters the picture—Josh Keller, the hottest stand-up comedian around, otherwise known as the thorn in my side and the love of my life. With him comes a major embarrassing moment, caught on video no less. It only proves exactly how incompatible we truly are and that I made the right choice leaving him three years ago. Unfortunately, Josh doesn’t think so, and he’s doing everything in his power to prove that you can’t schedule love. Well, I’ll show him. Maybe. Possibly. Why does the dang man have to be so annoyingly charming? And how can we make it work when his famous life is way out of my comfort zone? Is there any way for us to save the date?
