  To thwart her uncle's efforts to take over the farm left to her by her father, Sophia accepts a convenient marriage proposal. Her triumph is brief. Philip Eliot, the man she has loved her whole life, appears on her doorstep after a long, silent absence. 
   
   
   
  Philip Eliot promised his beloved Sophia that they would marry as soon as he turned twenty-one and gained his independence. But his meddlesome mother conspired to end the affair by sending him to France and intercepting their correspondence. Now he is back and doing everything he can to remind Sophia of the love they once shared. 
   
   
   
  Sophia convinces herself that she and Philip are merely friends but is unable to ignore the longing within her. Will she refuse Philip in favor of the stable life she's committed to, or risk her farm, her livelihood, and all those who depend on her to be with the man she truly loves?

  Sherlock Holmes as a sassy vampire and John Watson as a grumpy werewolf. A fun little spinoff to the dynamic detective duo. 
  Vampire detective Serena Holmes works alone—by choice and necessity. Brilliant, unyielding, and haunted by centuries of secrets, she’s the last person who wants a partner. But when the supernatural world’s balance is threatened, the council assigns her Rhys Watson, a stubborn, rule-bound werewolf with a knack for getting under her skin. 
  When a string of supernatural murders points to Moriarty, a rogue network of creatures defying the laws of their world, Serena’s darkest secrets resurface—along with a dangerous figure from her past. As the lines between their case and her history blur, Rhys becomes her unlikely anchor, even as their growing connection threatens to ignite. 
  As their investigation deepens, the pull between them grows harder to deny—something more than attraction, more than circumstance. It’s a bond written by fate, one neither of them can escape, no matter how hard they fight it. The lines between duty and desire blur, and Serena must confront whether trusting Rhys—and what they could become—is worth risking everything. 
  TW/CW Inside! This is a darkish romance book!

  Ravelling: 'A glorious novel' –...

  SET IN DUBLIN'S LIBERTIES, Estelle Birdy's explosively original debut Ravelling channels the energies and agonies of young men let loose in the city, their city, navigating the tumultuous trajectory of youth and young manhood, where they balance their hopes with the harsh realities of their present.
  
  
  Hurtling between friendships, feuds, drug-deals, family and brushes with the law, this is modern Dublin as never before portrayed. Ravelling follows Deano, a weed-smoking hurling star, living with his aunt in an about-to-be-demolished flat; Hamza, a Pakistani Muslim atheist and precocious academic, who sells his ADHD drugs to the kids in a private school; Oisín, empathetic and iron-willed, who has begun to see his dead brother at the end of his bed; Congolese nature lover, Benit, who just wants to relax and hurl with the lads; Karl, a maybe-gay fashionista, dreaming of something better while immersing himself in his art.
  
  
  Bound by friendship, place and the memories of those who've died too soon, these young men grapple with race, class, sex, parties, poverty, violence and Garda harassment, all while wondering what it means to be a man in twenty-first century Ireland.
  
  
  'Ravelling masterfully evokes the fragility and beauty of human relationships. It's funny, bold and bursting with love. There's no moral here, just an ode to community, a burning sense of youth and a plea for a society pushed to the margins.' KARL GEARY
  
  
  'A glorious novel, tough and hilarious and full of heart. What a writer! Every line sings from the page.' DONAL RYAN
  
  
  'Written in fluent, truthful prose, with humour and empathy abounding.' SEBASTIAN BARRY
  
  
  'A brilliantly profane, hilarious ride through the Liberties … Ravelling lays a sparkling new Dublin over the old. A revelation.' LAUREN MACKENZIE
