Text Appeal

Amber Roberts

STEM gets steamy when a coder takes up sexting to pay the bills in this daring debut novel, perfect for fans of Olivia Dade and Kate Stayman-London.

As the only woman programmer at her firm, Lark is thrilled to land an account for a huge client. But her dream job quickly becomes a nightmare when she accidentally projects a scandalous (and completely unsolicited) picture from her phone onto the screen during a presentation. Before she
can recover, her coworkers jump in to steal the account, leaving Lark jobless and broke.

When a friend suggests text message–based sex work as a stopgap between jobs, Lark is dubious. She’s all about sex positivity, but carrying out sexual fantasies—even digitally and anonymously—with complete strangers is daunting. How will she explain how she’s earning a living—especially to
Toby, her good friend and longtime hopeless crush?

Still, she needs the money, and after a few (embarrassing and hilarious) false starts, she actually starts to like sexting—especially with one particularly charming and nerdy client who keeps popping up in her DMs. But as Lark and Toby grow closer, she finds herself with a decision to make: tell Toby
she’s a sex worker—and try to forget the anonymous client who has her struggling to separate work from real feelings—or keep the secrets that are piling up in her inbox.

Sure to appeal to readers of Helen Hoang and Jen DeLuca, Amber Roberts’s Text Appeal celebrates women in STEM, friends becoming lovers, and finding lasting love in the digital age.

Death on a Gravestone - A...

John F. Wake, M. K. Jones

When the body of well-known and much hated politician Agnes Hunter is found on a gravestone in Wales' largest cemetery, with a gun and a note, her death is ruled suicide. 
 
 
 
However, Trevor Gwyn Jones, senior reporter for The Cardiff Sentinel, is skeptical of the verdict, as is his best friend and confidante Sergeant Gareth Roberts. 
 
 
 
Agnes had made many enemies, both personal and professional, in her relentless pursuit of the top political job in Cardiff and later, Wales. 
 
 
 
Trevor and Gareth have nothing to go on to suggest murder, apart from their long-term knowledge and experience of investigating death, plus a gut instinct telling them something isn't right with this one. Their discovery of another, similar death in 1973 on the same gravestone sends their investigation into an exploration of historical crime. 
 
 
 
Is there a motive that links the two deaths? Is there another agenda at work and what danger will it lead them into?
