Synopsis

Upon being arrested for the gruesome murder of her father, all college student Kanna Hijiriyama tells the police is, "It's up to you to find the motive." Amidst the media frenzy about the woman "too beautiful to be a killer," clinical psychologist Yuki Makabe is asked by Kanna's lawyer to counsel the young woman as her trial approaches. Yuki slowly uncovers the dark history behind the relationships in Kanna's life – with her father, her mother, and her "first love" – and discovers shocking inconsistencies in Kanna's defense.
Winner of the prestigious Naoki Prize and a Japanese bestseller, First Love is part psychological drama, part legal thriller.

    STEM gets steamy when a coder takes up sexting to pay the bills in this daring debut novel, perfect for fans of Olivia Dade and Kate Stayman-London. 
     
    As the only woman programmer at her firm, Lark is thrilled to land an account for a huge client. But her dream job quickly becomes a nightmare when she accidentally projects a scandalous (and completely unsolicited) picture from her phone onto the screen during a presentation. Before she  
    can recover, her coworkers jump in to steal the account, leaving Lark jobless and broke. 
     
    When a friend suggests text message–based sex work as a stopgap between jobs, Lark is dubious. She’s all about sex positivity, but carrying out sexual fantasies—even digitally and anonymously—with complete strangers is daunting. How will she explain how she’s earning a living—especially to  
    Toby, her good friend and longtime hopeless crush? 
     
    Still, she needs the money, and after a few (embarrassing and hilarious) false starts, she actually starts to like sexting—especially with one particularly charming and nerdy client who keeps popping up in her DMs. But as Lark and Toby grow closer, she finds herself with a decision to make: tell Toby  
    she’s a sex worker—and try to forget the anonymous client who has her struggling to separate work from real feelings—or keep the secrets that are piling up in her inbox. 
     
    Sure to appeal to readers of Helen Hoang and Jen DeLuca, Amber Roberts’s Text Appeal celebrates women in STEM, friends becoming lovers, and finding lasting love in the digital age.

    Murder Most Foul is a dark, witty and fast-paced novel, from one of Britain’s best-loved screenwriters. 
    It’s 1593, Elizabeth I is Queen and everyone is terrified of the worst outbreak of plague in a generation. Shakespeare has only written six plays and is lagging behind his friend Christopher Marlowe, London’s leading playwright. 
     
    When Marlowe is stabbed to death in mysterious circumstances, rumours abound – but the one that won’t go away is that Shakespeare did it to remove his greatest rival. Will is determined to clear his name, and teams up with his old flame, Marlowe’s sister Ann, who has plenty of secrets of her own. 
     
    In their search to solve the crime, Will and Ann uncover a dark world of treachery, murder, and corruption – which in turn provides Shakespeare with scenes and characters which will appear in his greatest plays.

    Fear spreads faster than panic. And panic can destroy the world. 
     
    In Friday, the Thirteenth, Thomas W. Lawson crafts a chilling psychological thriller centered on greed, manipulation, financial collapse, and mass fear. Long before modern market thrillers became popular, Lawson imagined a world where calculated panic and economic chaos could devastate lives overnight. 
     
    Blending suspense, psychological tension, and speculative intrigue, this gripping novel explores the fragile balance between power, wealth, and public trust. As rumors spread and markets spiral, fear itself becomes the most dangerous force of all. 
     
    Dark, intelligent, and surprisingly modern in its themes, Friday, the Thirteenth remains a fascinating and suspenseful exploration of human behavior under pressure. 
     
    Expertly narrated by Phil Thompson, this audiobook delivers a tense and immersive listening experience filled with paranoia, ambition, and looming catastrophe.

    #1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey returns with an all-new sports rom-com about a burly, surly, single dad who falls head-over-hockey-stick for his quirky live-in nanny... 
    Tallulah is smart, vivacious, and studying to be a marine biologist. She’s also twenty-six and broke. So when Burgess, a battle-scarred hockey veteran and newly single dad, offers her a job as his live-in nanny, she jumps at the opportunity to get paid while living in a super fancy neighborhood and being around Lissa, his cool but introverted tween. 
    Her tween charge isn’t the only one who could use some help fitting in, though. According to…well, everyone except Burgess, he needs to get back on the dating scene, and adventurous Tallulah is just the girl to show him how. But as boundaries are slowly crossed and Burgess finds himself pulled between his daughter, who wants her parents back together, and his insane chemistry with Tallulah, a huge rift is formed, and Tallulah does the “right” thing—breaks her own heart and walks away.  
    Though Burgess knows it’s for the best—he’s too jaded, with too much baggage—a chance meeting, and a new push from his daughter, forces him to put everything on the line and fight to prove he learned his lessons well and is worthy of a happily ever after with Tallulah.
