  A Poetry Book Society Recommendation
  Inheritance is a profoundly moving exploration of what is passed down by our forebearers, what is left behind when we lose someone, and what we learn from being loved. Jasmine Cooray holds our most fiercely-guarded myths to the light, refracted through second-generation diaspora, family legend and life-changing loss. Her poems embrace both the quiet and the storms within. They sing of self-belief rising to the surface as drowning feels imminent, of desire and how it can cultivate hope. This is a timeless debut: wise, wild and empowering, a lodestar for survival.
  "A strident, playful language dance through life's more challenging parts, always towards something transcendent." Anthony Joseph, Sonnets for Albert, Winner of the 2022 T.S. Eliot Prize
  "Intimate, vulnerable, poignant and provocative. Inheritance is a stunning debut brimming with tenderness, authenticity and heart."  Salena Godden, Mrs Death Misses Death

  Texas cowboy Shea Montgomery has plans. Big plans. Still mourning the loss of his beloved father, he’s finally ready to sell the Forget Me Not ranch. He’s dusting off his boots, packing up his cowboy hat, and moving to New York City to make his dreams come true. So what if he won’t have his horse to ride or a place to call home? He’ll make it work. Somehow. First, he has to deal with a bunch of corporate types who don’t know the front end of a horse from the back. Especially this one guy who can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Or out of Shea’s mind. 
  Jake Axelrod’s perfect family is shattered when his daughter stops speaking and his husband ends their marriage. Two years later, she remains locked in silence, and Jake has closed himself off. His life is structured to the minute, and Jake is convinced he’ll be alone forever, until he’s forced to attend a company retreat at a dude ranch in Texas, where he meets a cowboy who sends him spinning out of control. 
  Jake can’t help falling...off his horse, out of a rowboat, and into Shea’s arms. 
  And Shea is more than willing to catch him. 
  Neither man wants to let go, and the time they spend together only makes it harder to be apart. A decision needs to be made: work it out or say good-bye. Jake’s life is in New York, but he can’t walk away from Shea or the ranch, and Shea must decide if the dream of a lifetime will lead him right back to the place where he started - where his heart belongs.

  Major Tor Savan has built his career on one fundamental principle – protect planet Earth, whatever the personal cost. To a certain degree, he’s succeeded, warning Earth about a deadly missile strike from Mars and then being injured as his own ship fought in the battle. 
  But as the dust settles after the attack, Tor learns that a new crisis is threatening the planet. As a result of the missile strike, the laboratories that manufacture omegas’ hormonal suppressants have been destroyed, which means that every single omega on Earth will soon be forced to go through a heat. 
  Tor is unwilling to abandon his fellow soldiers to twelve hours of agony. But fortunately, he has a level of knowledge about the heats that few alphas could match. With the powers-that-be turning their backs on omegas, Tor puts together a plan to help them through their heats – a plan so risky and unlawful it could not only end his career, but also destroy the reputations of every single person involved. 
  But only a fool expects such daring plans to go smoothly, and when Azure, Tor’s omega lover, gets dragged into the middle of the storm, Tor finds himself having to re-evaluate every social custom and moral value he believes in. 
  Tor and Azure's story began in Hurricane, and continues in Lava. Books are best enjoyed in order.
