  Old passions have cooled . . .  
   
   
   
  It was desire at first sight when Lady Katherine "Kitty" Holden and William Colborne, Earl of Radcliffe, met. The stars aligned in their favor for a brief, shining moment before tragedy struck and the heavens came crashing down. Now Kitty is desperate to escape her loveless marriage to William and she's willing to do anything, even divorce, to free herself from the cold, handsome husband who refuses to let her go. 
   
   
   
  But even a single ember can ignite a blaze . . .  
   
   
   
  William has never met a woman that infuriates him more than Kitty . . . or makes his blood burn as hot. He knows that he doesn't deserve her, but he'll be damned before he gives her up. Surely there's something in their marriage worth saving. Her beautiful blue eyes might flash with fury whenever she looks at him, but when they kiss—when they kiss, her lips are pure passion. 
   
   
   
  Long-held secrets rise to the surface in a battle of wills that threatens to tear apart everything Kitty and William thought they knew about each other and about love. Because sometimes, happily-ever-afters aren't just granted . . . sometimes, they must be fought for. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  The Lost World

  So accustomed are we to numerous cinematic films depicting Dinosaurs (resurrected from their extinction through various dramatic devices) running amok amongst the human race, from King Kong to Jurassic Park, that we forget that it was the creator of Sherlock Holmes who was amongst the first to imagine such a scenario. 
   After so many years of the cerebral Holmes, Conan Doyle must have revelled in his colourful new character of Professor Challenger. He is a bear of a man with an appetite for self-advancement, adventure and controversy who leads an expedition into the forests of South America to vindicate his claim that a lost world lay hidden in that vast continent. 
  This is Conan Doyle away from the constraints of Baker Street and one gets the feeling that the author makes the most of the possibilities, pitting his heroes against dinosaurs, treacherous guides, inhospitable terrain and not least a race of vicious ape men. 
  Conan tells his rip-roaring adventure with all his usual descriptive skill and verve. 
  Head Stories presents Conan Doyle's "The Lost World" narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.

  “While I’m young, (somewhat) free and single, time is – by Bengali standards – marching on. I’ve got to meet my dream man, or at least someone I can grow to like, and get married. The trouble is, I don’t really know what – or who – I’m looking for. 
  Luckily (or not) for me, arranged marriages are still a thing. So alongside my own dating efforts, it’s everyone’s business – from my adorable yet overbearing mum, to pretend aunties and profiteering opportunists – to find me a match. With all this help, I’m pretty sure I’ll land a husband, but will he be ‘The One’?” 
  The Secret Diary of an Arranged Marriage lifts the lid on the intriguing world of British-Bengali matrimony. The debut novel from former journalist Halima Khatun explores family, identity and belonging with acerbic humour. 
  It’ll change your view of matchmaking for good…

  Description：
  Seven years ago, Bianca made the ultimate choice: five million dollars over Vincent, the man who loved her. As the villainess in a classic CEO romance, she knew the script—Vincent was destined for the sweet, kind-hearted Tanya. So Bianca took the money and vanished. Now, she's back, a successful artist, ready to play her part again. But Vincent isn't the heartbroken boy she left behind. He's a ruthless, powerful CEO, and his obsession with her has only grown. When Bianca dares to take another five million from his mother and run, Vincent captures her, his eyes burning with a dangerous mix of fury and desire. 'You really dared to betray me a second time,' he whispers, his grip tightening. Bianca remains defiant. She's not the heroine; she's the gold-digging villainess who chooses wealth over love. Yet, as Vincent's relentless pursuit blurs the lines between hatred and passion, and the fated heroine Tanya enters the scene, Bianca must question her own heart. Can she escape the story written for her, or is she destined to be the prize in Vincent's vengeful game of love? A steamy, twist-filled enemies-to-lovers romance where the villainess fights for her own happy ending

  Mercedes Harrigan, novice landlord, is a pro at cleaning up messy apartments but cleaning up after an elderly tenant dies presents a different dilemma. It’s not the dead body lying on the kitchen floor that has Sadie freaked out—she grew up playing among the caskets at her grandmother’s mortuary—it’s thecoroner’s  
  suspicion that the wiring in Sadie's vintage apartments could be the culprit. Add a threatened lawsuit by the family of the deceased, along with bizarre clues that pop up but don’t add up, and Sadie’s morale dips lower than the meager balance in her bank account. 
   
  When none of the authorities will listen to Sadie’s suspicions about the supposedly accidental death, Sadie enlists the help of her BFF Rebbie Russell. As the duo digs into the tenant's life the sweet-old-lady facade crumbles and a nastier profile emerges, providing plenty of suspects. Threats against Sadie escalate as they come to the conclusion that her death was not due to old age and a three-pack-a-day habit but rather a cleverly planned murder. When a second murder is made to look like a random mugging, Sadie knows she’s on the right track. But can she expose the murderer before she winds up in one of her grandmother’s caskets?
