    Funny, romantic and a little bit wicked, this is Mhairi McFarlane… with vampires! 
    I mean hey, what’s the worst that could happen? Ok fine, the worst that could happen is that I didn’t imagine those fangs after all… 
    Squeaky clean good girl Lucy Partridge is a sucker for heartwarming tales and happy endings. So a weekend reporting on the Whitby Goth Weekend is well outside her comfort zone. As is sharing her tiny annexe accommodation with all six feet three inches of bad boy bar owner Liam Bramwell. And that’s before she discovers that he’s an actual living – or, er, ‘undead’ – vampire! 
    Logically, Lucy knows she should run the other way, but the reporter in her can tell there’s more to Bram than his fangs. It’s clearly time for this good girl to take a walk on the dark side, and if that path leads her straight into Bram’s muscular tattooed arms? Well, a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do… 
    For fans of Beth Moran (Have I Told You Lately), Leonie Mack (In Italy for Love), Phoebe Macleod (Love, Accidentally), Laura Carter (In This Together), and Jo Thomas (A Place in the Sun).

    For listeners who gravitate towards the chilling foresight of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and the oppressive state control of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four—prepare for a gripping new voice in dystopian fiction. 
    In a near-future America where an iron-fisted theocracy weaponizes faith, Calvin has spent decades burying his true self, meticulously conforming to a system that demands absolute obedience. But when a profound, devastating encounter shatters his carefully constructed world, this disgraced former minister finds his authentic calling through an unexpected act of rebellion. 
    Cast out and facing ruthless persecution, Calvin witnesses an act of shocking state-sanctioned violence that shatters his apathy. As the propaganda screams louder and the lines between divine truth and tyranny blur, he must choose: remain a victim of a system he despises, or become an unlikely rebel against the very institution he once believed in. 
    Dive into Apostate, the gripping first installment in a dystopian series where a man's broken faith becomes the spark of a resistance, and the fight for true freedom begins with a courageous stand against an unholy empire.
