  Charlotte Fraser takes a leap out of her comfort zone when she meets handsome, charming Rob in the city. It's not exactly likely she'll bump into him in her tiny village in the Scottish Highlands . . . Back home—with her business hat firmly back on—she's determined to get her hands on Midsummer House, a beautiful old Victorian mansion and the perfect flagship property for her holiday business. She'll do whatever it takes, even if it means giving in to the owner's eccentric request that she house-sit for three months before she'll agree to the sale. 
   
   
   
  High-flying city trader Rob Jones is at an unexpected loose end when his long-lost aunt Frances calls looking for some advice about selling her property. He hasn't visited since the tragedy which cut the threads that bound his family together, but deciding to make amends, he heads to the Highlands to stay at Midsummer and help out with some repairs. 
   
   
   
  It's a battle of wills to see who'll give in and move out first. Rob realizes that Charlotte is determined nobody should know what happened between them in the city—but with the undeniable attraction between them, how easy will it be? As the village of Applemore casts a welcoming spell on Rob, he starts to wonder if he's got his priorities in life all wrong . . . but if he stays, where does that leave Charlotte's plans for Midsummer House?

  1850: A sea-chest full of books arrives for Antonio Mateus Carvalho Cabral, the younger son of a family of whalers on the small volcanic island of Pico ...  
    
  The Carvalho brothers - handsome Marcelinho and clever Antonio - are destined to spend their lives hunting whales. But the arrival of an unexpected gift changes both their lives forever. As the younger Carvalho discovers the fascinating world of the whale, a chasm opens between the two brothers, made all the more perilous by their shared passion for the alluring and wilful Margarida Machado. 
  From the Azores to Lisbon, from Newfoundland to Australia, our hero travels in search of love, fortune and his very soul. It is in Eden, a small whaling port on the south coast of New South Wales, that he finally finds salvation in the shape of Alice Binney, fellow lost soul and impostor, in flight from her dark past. An enduring bond forms between the two, culminating in a final, dazzling act of atonement. 
  Gloriously dark, delightful, witty and moving, Mr Carver's Whale is a novel of our many crimes against nature and the human heart, and the price we have to pay for our sins. But can love ever really be a crime? 
  'A vast and generous novel ... Author Lyn Hughes's love for her characters is evident, and while wonderfully poignant and whimsical, they are not without depth. Their rich inner lives are exquisitely rendered. Mr Carver's Whale is a delightful, almost mythical novel filled with books, ghosts, poetry, oceans, whales, love, desire and death. It is recommended for fans of Captain Corelli's Mandolin and A Gentleman in Moscow.' Books+Publishing 
  'This novel is one of the most captivating, unusual and gripping pieces of historical fiction I've read this year. From the very start I was swept up ... If you are a fan of historical fiction from Isabel Allende, you are sure to love Mr Carver's Whale. Hughes has written a sumptuous and gripping novel, with a unique setting and storyline that sets it apart.' Better Reading

  A cat and a mouse, contrary to the custom of their kinds, become friends, such good friends that they decide to share a home. That they might have something to fall back on in time of need, they buy a pot of fat and hide it away in a nook of a church for safekeeping. After a short time, the cat tells her housemate that one of her relations has given birth and that the mouse's friend has been asked to be godmother. Instead of going to a christening, though, the cat goes to the nook of the church and eats the top layer of the fat in the pot. When the cat returns home, the mouse asks the name of the kitten. The cat replies, "Top-off." The mouse remarks that she has never heard such a name.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Elias Thorne, a celebrated expert in forensic psychology, believes his life is a model of structure and truth—until his architect wife, Vivian Sterling, vanishes. Her only clue is a cryptic note: "The Only Lie That Matters Is the One You Tell Yourself." 
  Elias initially suspects infidelity, but his investigation leads him to a terrifying discovery: his perfect life, his esteemed career, and even his own memories were meticulously engineered by a clandestine organization known as The Cadre. Elias is Subject 404, a puppet designed to forget the trauma of his past and serve as an anchor for a massive, global psychological operation run by his own mentor, Dr. Alistair Finch. 
  Driven by a desperate need to reclaim his identity, Elias must follow the trail Vivian left behind—a complex, brilliant map hidden within architectural blueprints and coded messages. He soon realizes Vivian did not run from him; she ran for him, sacrificing her own safety to expose the ultimate deception and lead him to the one person he was programmed to forget: his sister, Phoenix. 
  Now, Elias must race across continents to evade The Cadre, decipher Vivian’s final, devastating secrets, and confront his creator to save the family he never knew he had. The Last Thing She Said is a high-stakes psychological thriller that asks: If the foundation of your life is built on a lie, how far would you go to reclaim the truth? 
  Discover the Masterpiece of Deception That Will Make You Question the Reality of Your Own Memories.
