  It’s in the water where she first sees him: a local man almost twenty years her senior. Adrift in the summer after finishing college, a young woman is on holiday with her mother in an isolated Australian coastal town. Finding herself pulled to  
  Jude, the man in the water, she begins losing herself in the simple, seductive rhythms of his everyday life.  
   
  As their relationship deepens, life at Sailors Beach offers her the stability she has been craving as the daughter of two drifters—a loving but impulsive mother and an itinerant father. But the arrival of Maeve, a friend from Jude’s past, threatens  
  to rock their fragile, newfound intimacy. And when she witnesses something she doesn’t fully understand, she finds herself questioning everything—about Jude, about herself, about the life she has and the one she wants. 
   
  A magnetic and unforgettable story of desire and its complexities, and a powerful reckoning with memory, loss, and longing, Madelaine Lucas’s debut novel, Thirst for Salt, reveals with stunning, sensual immediacy the way the past can hold us in  
  its thrall, shaping who we are and what we love.

  Before an empire was forged in legend, a hidden resistance was born. In the shadows of Cyrus the Great’s rise, a secret Median brotherhood prepares to strike. But before they surface, one woman’s choices could alter everything. 
  Previously published as The Oracle of Delphi: That Which is Hidden. 
  Dive into an espionage thriller where the Magi operate in the shadows—not as mystics, but as political power players. 
  Thalia, High Priestess of Delphi, carries a terrible burden—one that could destroy the man she loves and shatter her own soul. Yet as she is drawn into the web of a sinister cabal plotting to assassinate Cyrus the Great, she discovers that her past and the present conflict are inextricably tied. In the face of betrayal, espionage, assassination plots, and ancient vendettas, Thalia must unravel the truth before it’s too late. 
  The Spy of Delphi: That Which is Hidden (Priests and Magi Book 1) is a gripping historical thriller of power struggles, secrecy, and survival. She escaped being High Priestess—but she couldn’t escape the forces controlling her. In a world of spies, political betrayal, and hidden agendas, freedom comes at a cost. Perfect for readers who love cloak-and-dagger intrigue, ancient thrillers, and the complex world of Greece and Persia. 
  I’m a classical archaeologist. This novel is plot- and character-based, with well-developed arcs, combining enigmatic mystery, espionage, and romantic threads against a richly researched historical backdrop. It’s grounded in scholarly work and carefully interweaves real events into the narrative with historical accuracy and depth. 
  Chapter One was originally written in poetic prose when the author was seventeen. Preserved in its original high quality form, it reflects the voice that first gave life to this world—before time, revision, and research deepened the rest.

  Unwrap this gorgeous gift of a book for an escape to the snow-peaked caps of the Scottish Highlands and a romance that will melt your heart… 
  Izzy McBride had never in a million years expected to inherit an actual castle from her great uncle Bill but here she was, in the run up to Christmas, Monarch of her own Glen – a very rundown glen in need of a lot of TLC if her dream of turning it into a boutique bed and breakfast was to come true. 
  But when Izzy’s eccentric mother rents a room to enigmatic thriller author Ross Adair and the Scottish snow starts to settle like the frosting on a Christmas cake, it’s a race to get the castle ready before they’re all snowed in for the holidays.Praise for Julie Caplin: 
  ‘One unputdownable story’ Katie Fforde 
  ‘An irresistible slice of escapism’ Phillipa Ashley 
  ‘Five big fat stars’ Sue Moorcroft 
  Set against the backdrop of Europe's history-rich Scotland, this contemporary romantic comedy is a testament to Julie Caplin's ability to weave fiction at its best. Izzy's unexpected inheritance and her interactions with Ross, a top thriller author, make for a captivating read. 
  For fans of Jessica Redland (Sunshine After the Rain), Alison Sherlock (Winter Magic on Railway Lane), Heidi Swain (Best Summer Ever), Rachael Lucas (Christmas at Applemore), and Mandy Baggot (One Wish in Manhattan).
