Sinopsis

From the author of The Inland Sea comes a stunning new novel about a couple's road trip through the American desert for fans of Valeria Luiselli's The Lost Children Archive and Rachel Cusk.
'Tremendously moving' Leslie Jamison
'Enormously impressive' Guardian
Eloise has known two great loves: her husband, Lewis, and the desert. Together, they set off on an unforgettable road trip through the American Southwest, passing vast canyons, glittering casinos and motels fallen into decay.
As Eloise documents the disappearing Colorado River, Lewis grieves his mother in the prickly terrain of his upbringing. Surrounded by loss, they cherish the miracle of having found each other, but each harbours a secret, driving them towards a destination neither is ready to face.
Haunting and richly atmospheric, this is a story about whether it's ever possible to truly know those closest to us, and an elegy for a land running dry.

    Veronika 
    I crashed the double wedding of two of the scariest Irish Kings to get information. Information to help me find my best friend’s sister, who was abducted. All I had to do was hack the phone of one of the mafia members. 
    He was the perfect target. A disinterested enforcer playing with fire, probably not too bright. Someone I could manipulate. 
    Instead, while I’m upstairs in his hotel room pressing past the security shield on his phone, he’s pressing into me, igniting a hot, liquid desire that I’d never before experienced. 
    I had to flee before this deadly, dazzling man killed me or what was left of my resolve with his toe-curling kisses. 
    But when the Red Hill mafia comes after me, the sinful enforcer is the only one who can protect me. 
    Or destroy me. 
    Darren 
    When a waitress at my best friends’ double wedding rematerializes at my table as a seductress in a slinky, red cocktail dress, I can’t keep my eyes—or my hands—off her. 
    But the next morning she’s gone. Along with the data from my phone. I don’t know what game she’s playing, but I intend to win it. 
    Except our game turns deadly when the Kings’ biggest rival tries to kill her. Now we’re locked in a safehouse together until I can figure out who she is and what she wants. 
    I’m the family’s chaos agent. I destroy and break things. I don’t protect anyone outside of the Kings. Especially not a total stranger I can’t trust. 
    But after a single night with her, my convictions start to crumble. 
    *Sweet Deception is a full-length mafia romance novel with no cheating and a guaranteed HEA.

With independent actors and state-of-the-art SFX, this audiobook will take you on a journey through the cosmos that will leave you breathless. 
    The never-before-seen story of the origin of the human kingdoms and their decline in the universe of the Great Universal Crusade, with pages of new content for those who wish to know the true origin of all things. About this new instalment of the SAGA we can say that: "All the accumulated knowledge, all the scholarly theories and all the accumulation of popular tales, Judaic and Christian legends, are gathered here in a chronicle that begins with the Antediluvian Age and continues through the Age of the Age of Giants, Nephilim, Titans, and the appearance of the first hybrid men, the coming of the Flood and judgement, the punishment of the hybrid beings, establishment of the Kingdom of Israel, the Rebellion of Man and the repeated incursions of supernatural beings into human history". Furthermore, we can assert that "All of these events are described as major triggers for the decay of human nature, which was once created to rule over all creation".

    She's the Queen of Mean, until one chaotic Christmas Eve night threatens to blow her life and budget wide apart! 
    Caroline’s got frugality down to a fine art. She can make a tin of soup stretch for days, considers “reduced to clear” her love language, and thinks Christmas is just a daft excuse for people to throw their money away on tinsel trimmed tat. 
    But Christmas Eve night takes a turn when her best mate, Marlene, drops in for a chat. Lovely, right? Except Marlene’s been dead for seven years and she’s got a message for Caroline, she will be visited by three spirits and if she doesn’t pay attention, her future’s looking bleaker than the contents of her fridge freezer. 
    Caroline’s convinced she’s having a hallucination. Ghosts? Surely not! But as the night goes on, she starts to wonder if she might just learn something worth more than her latest discount voucher. And for someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing, this might be the wake-up call she didn’t see coming. 
    Perfect for fans of Anstey Harris, Dawn French and The Thursday Murder Club – A Christmas Caroline is a hilarious, heartwarming festive tale about second chances, eccentric family ties and learning that some things in life are worth the splurge. 
    Laugh-out-loud funny, delightfully quirky, and full of Christmas cheer – this is the holiday novel you didn’t know you needed.
