Summary

Lyndon is running on empty when he makes his last courier pickup of the day at a strange business. He's definitely not ready for the shy and attractive man who's supposed to sign off on the delivery to jump into his van and order him to drive as fast as he can. But acting on instinct is sort of Lyndon's thing, so before he knows it he's in a cross-country chase with danger hot on his heels.
Curtis had his doubts about working for his employers, but he deeply appreciated the routine of it. When he discovers that he might have unwittingly helped create a bug that could spread like a deadly fire through the country, though, he knows he has to act, and he's only glad that the brash courier who picks him up is willing to go all the way to make sure what Curtis is carrying reaches its final destination.

I can’t believe I’m calling Kentbury home. When I first arrived, I wasn’t planning on staying, but I’ve found my place here with Damian Harris. Our arrangement started off as some no-strings-attached fun, but somewhere between midnight kisses and secret touches, my heart got involved.
 
Now it’s almost New Year’s Eve, and I’m done being invisible. I’ve discovered how to love in Kentbury, learned who I really am—and I refuse to keep hiding behind locked doors. Damian may be tied to his powerful family name, but if he wants me by his side, he has to face the truth of who we are together.
 
If he won’t stand with me in the open, then I’ll have to ring in the new year on my own—because I can’t keep being his secret anymore.
 
From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a brand-new Kentbury novella where the reclusive small-town heir might finally meet his match…except he’s been hiding who he is—and who he’s with—all this time.

Freya's always been sensitive. Difficult, some say. Funny how those words have started to mean the same thing.
It's September 2018, and everyone's living in a new, more inclusive Ireland after two referendums and one hot summer. We're all redefining ourselves. And so is Freya. She got dumped. But when her ex shows up at her parents' door along with unexpected news, it feels like anything is possible again. Can sensitive, difficult Freya learn to see herself anew?
The personal becomes political in David Horan's funny and fascinating play exploring identity and family. Sandpaper on Sunburn was first performed at Smock Alley Theatre in 2024 as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival.

It was just another routine flight from Hong Kong to Manchester for Flight attendant Nigel Grimond until he spied sexy bodybuilder Phil Wilson crammed in seat 12E. Upgrading Phil to business class, Nigel spent as much time as possible talking with the man as well as admiring his muscles and his eagle tattoo.


As a thank you for the upgrade, Phil asks Nigel out to dinner at a village pub. Pessimistic at his chances of scoring with such a hunk, Nigel's hopes are lifted by his psychic friend Tracy who is convinced this is Nigel's big chance at finding love.


Nigel waits at the pub for Phil, who is running late. Through a series of text messages, Phil assures Nigel he won't be long. But after two hours of waiting, Nigel goes home alone.


Phil begs for a second chance, so Nigel is back at the pub the next night, but the excellent food and friendly bar staff will be little consolation if Nigel is stood up a second time.


What if Phil doesn't show? Why is Tracy so insistent that all signs point to love? Shouldn't Nigel just go home, get drunk, and forget all about strong muscles and tattooed eagle wings?

A reluctant ghost at best, Quinn doesn't like the haunts to which Liam takes him, always fearful of encountering a true medium in the paranormal groups investigating the houses, bent on seeing a ghost.


When Liam sets him up for such a meeting, Quinn breaks from him, not fully understanding the apparition's cruelty. He'd thought they were friends. But despite his anger, when he believes Liam will go to the manor house without him, a house known to be haunted by a fearsome ghost, Quinn joins him, hoping to keep him from danger.


But it is Quinn himself who is in danger, not only from Betterford's ghost and the mediums stalking him, but also from a secret Liam's been keeping, making Quinn wonder if he'll survive the longest haunt of his life.

Longlisted for the 2024 Fred Cogswell Award For Excellence In Poetry

Finalist for the 2023 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards

In these peculiar times, we are thrust back into ourselves in a kind of suspension: one in which only private life exists yet threatens to become trivial through a sense of mutual, overarching dread.
Lent from award-winning writer Kate Cayley is built from this tension, exploring domestic and artistic life amidst the environmental crisis and the surprising ways that every philosophical quandary—large and small—converges in the home, in small objects, conversations, and moments. The grotesque and the tedious, the baroque and the banal, intertwine in the first three sections. Meticulous depictions of spectacle run into the repetition of daily domestic life: trying to explain time to children, day trips to the planetarium, and the warnings of strangers; these are interspersed with depictions such as Mary Shelley recalling the monster, the inner life of a seventeenth century portrait sitter, and Ted Hughes's second wife telling her story to the dead Sylvia Plath. The title section explores religious faith; how belief is itself a repetition, a slow accumulation over time, just like love or forgiveness.
Lent is an exquisite work of our era, asking us to contemplate what it means to live in a broken world—and why we still find it beautiful.
