Sinopsis

1883–1946
As the child lay huddled in the bed, her face streaked with tears, she listened to the sound of voices from below as neighbours comforted her father. Tomorrow was to be her mother’s funeral and Anne felt very small and frightened. Life was to change immeasurably over the following years from shattered family bonds to the joy and excitement of the Music Hall and falling in love.Over the next decades as the nation battled against a world where loyalties would be tested in two World Wars, Anne would find the strength to move forward, gathering the fragments of her broken family on a journey of resilience and love.

    There are two sacred rules in the Montagalo household: 
    Family comes first.Don't date my brother's teammates. 
     
    Of course I went and broke both . . . 
    It started with a little banter on a dating app. A teeny, tiny secret: flirty messages with Luca Babineaux, the sweet, charming—and stupidly attractive forward on the Houston Baddies—who makes sweat and bruises look so f'ing hot. One spark turns into a secret first date. A few kisses become way more.Now I'm tangled in a full-blown secret romance and every time Gio walks into the room, I have a full-blown anxiety attack. Dating in secret? Thrilling. Lying to my brother? Exhausting. 
    Falling for Luca Babineaux obviously wasn't part of the game plan. It never is, is it? He wants to go public with our relationship. I'd rather not. Now I have to decide what matters more: keeping my promises to my dumb, overprotective brother . . . or choose myself for once. All's fair in love and hockey. Right?

    Three alphas. One omega. Five deadly trials. 
    You’d think I was already there, but when three alphas pulled me from a brothel, they sealed my fate in hell. 
    Fighting for re-entry into the elite Echelon secret society, they need a noble omega to survive the Trial’s five deadly tests. 
    Instead, they get me. 
    I’ve never manifested and–as far as they know–don’t have a drop of noble blood. 
    As we're trapped together in the clutches of the dark and dangerous Echeloln, my very presence is an insult. One they never hesitate to remind me of. 
    Even when I manifest as the omega they need, their hatred only grows stronger. 
    But so does mine. I won’t stop until they burn right alongside me. 
    And in a world where lies and secrets are more abundant than truths. . . anything can happen. 
    The Omega Trials is a dark, why-choose romance set in a contemporary omegaverse. The characters of this book will be irredeemable in many peoples’ eyes. Their love story will be bloody and hard-fought, but it’s guaranteed they will find their HEA by the end. All content warnings can be found on author's website.

    The follow-up to Booker-listed literary sensation Solar Bones is a terse metaphysical thriller, named a most anticipated book of the year by The Guardian, The Irish Times, and The New Statesman. 
     
    Nealon returns from prison to his house in the West of Ireland to find it empty. No heat or light, no sign of his wife or child. It is as if the world has forgotten or erased him. Then he starts getting calls from a man who claims to know what’s happened to his family—a man who’ll tell Nealon all he needs to know in return for a single meeting. 
     
    In a hotel lobby, in the shadow of an unfolding terrorist attack, Nealon and the man embark on a conversation shot through with secrets and evasions, a verbal game of cat and mouse that leaps from Nealon’s past and childhood to the motives driving a series of international crimes launched against “a world so wretched it can only be redeemed by an act of revenge.” McCormack’s existential noir is a terse and brooding exploration of the connections between rural Ireland and the globalized cruelties of the twenty-first century. It is also an incisive portrait of a young and struggling family, and a ruthless interrogation of what we owe to those nearest to us, and to the world at large.

    Topsy-Turvy… or Right-Side Up? 
    Green Acres newcomer Chelsea Riehl is annoyed. After all, she signed on as an event planner, not to pit plums alongside the mission-minded hippie Keanan Welsh, the only other single on the farm. 
    Discouraged by Chelsea’s lack of spiritual depth, Keanan is confused when she offers to arrange meals for the church Alpha program he is co-hosting. Maybe he misjudged her, after all. 
    When fake it ’til you make it gives way to a leap of faith, both Chelsea and Keanan have some soul-searching to do. Will getting on the same page spiritually be enough to flip their budding romance right-side up?

    He can successfully throw a precision pass, but he's dead in the water in matters of the heart... 
    Quarterback Maine Fitzgerald has struck out with more women than he'd like to admit—and he doesn't even play baseball. Armed with a plan to get out of his comfort zone onboard a singles cruise, he joins the very first event: a mix and mingle. 
    Too bad he's almost completely deaf in one ear and doesn't hear the beautiful blonde tell him her name. 
    Orchid Stone doesn't want to be on the singles cruise. She has an eight-year-old daughter to tend to, and a job to do, and a husband to mourn. But her sisters think eight years is long enough to mourn, and she promises them she'll at least try to meet someone on the cruise. 
    She can't help it if the meathead quarterback isn't interested. 
    When a tsunami strikes their ship, she's forced overboard with Maine and a security guard, and they make their way to a deserted island. Desperate to get back to her daughter, Orchid will do anything to survive. She climbs rock walls, escapes from wild boars, and plucks chickens. 
    She knows she's lucky to be washed up on an old World War II outpost, complete with an overgrown garden and a herd of wild chickens, but she needs to get home. Maine does too—but he's scared of the man he'll have to be once he leaves the island. 
    He's sure Orchid won't want to be with him once he has to go back to the public persona of Perfect Quarterback Maine Fitzgerald. Can Orchid and Maine make things work between them when they're so different? Or will their time stranded together be all they get?
