Sinopsis

In this sophisticated novel of suspense, a killer with a taste for literature lurks in the shadows of Oxford University . . . After a student is found decapitated in the cupola of the Sheldonian Theatre and a cryptic note in an unknown language is discovered, DS Kate Stewart and her partner turn to medievalist Dr. Jonathan Reynolds. He identifies the note as a passage from Beowulf and explains that the murder replicates a killing in the epic poem. Then a second, equally grisly murder escalates the situation. The victim is Tom, Jonathan’s former student and stalker. Horrified, Jonathan identifies the crime’s literary connection to another early English poem. Is the killer obsessed with medieval times—or with Jonathan? When another death suggests that a serial killer is working his way through the English Literature syllabus, both the police and the scholar are drawn into a baffling mystery . . .

    In Arab culture, tradition often dictates an individual's role in a family, with personal desires subsumed in favour of unity. So, what happens when Queer Arabs challenge and re-imagine these expectations?
    
    This Queer Arab Family celebrates the beauty of chosen kin and the everyday acts of care and survival that bind Queer Arabs to each other. Here, ten LGBTQ+ writers from across the Arab world and diaspora redefine what family looks like. From raising children with mum and mum, to becoming an OnlyFans star and building a non-binary belly dancing robot, these writers illuminate, through their own lived experiences, how queer joy and community can be found in the most unexpected places.
    
    
    Fierce, vibrant and unapologetic, This Queer Arab Family honours the spirit of those who, despite challenges, build community and family on their own terms.

    I’m such a cliché. Rich, successful…and bored out of my mind. 
    A classic case of a midlife crisis probably, but instead of buying an expensive sports car, I go on a long business trip to Australia. 
    Alone. I haven’t trusted myself to be with anyone since my best friend betrayed me, leaving me bleeding and heartbroken. 
    Until a gorgeous surfer dude named Ocean falls into my lap. Literally. 
    He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met. Bossy, carefree, and somehow, he reads me like an open book. 
    I agree to him staying with me in Melbourne so we can have a fling. With me in charge, obviously. He is half my age, after all. 
    But Ocean changes the rules on me, becoming what I never knew I needed. 
    A Daddy. 
    Oh, and did I mention he’s my ex-best friend’s son? 
    Daddy Down Under is a full-length, standalone MM romance with a Daddy who’s younger and an older boy who happens to be a billionaire. That doesn’t make him any less needy though. No age play.

But Shane quickly discovers that banishing Gabriel from his heart and his head is easier said than done.
