Sinopse

RUNNER-UP: Comedy Women in Print Prize
Paris, 1940. The course of Fatiha Bin-Khalid's life is changed forever when she befriends the Muslim feminist Doria Shafik. But after returning to Egypt and dedicating years to the fight for women's rights, she struggles to reconcile her political ideals with the realities of motherhood.
Cairo, 1966. After being publicly shamed when her relationship with a bisexual boyfriend is revealed, Fatiha's daughter is faced with an impossible decision. Should Yasminah accept a life she didn't choose, or will she leave her home and country in pursuit of independence?
Bristol, 2011. British-born Nadia is battling with an identity crisis and a severe case of herpes. Feeling unfulfilled (and after a particularly disastrous one-night stand), she moves in with her old-fashioned Aunt Yasminah and realises that she must discover her purpose in the modern world before it's too late.
Following the lives of three women from the Bin-Khalid family, Daughters of the Nile is an original and darkly funny novel that examines the enduring strength of female bonds. These women are no strangers to adversity, but they must learn from the past and relearn shame and shamelessness to radically change their futures.

    Renegades don't leave jobs half finished. 
    Despite a warning to return home, Cole isn't about to leave his allies before their little slug infestation has been dealt with. This time, he plans to take the fight to them. Of course, when humans make plans, the powers that be just sit back and laugh. 
    While traveling through slip space, a tunnel fractures. Elsewhere, a portal under lock and key mysteriously goes missing. 
    Those two events are only the beginning. As more dominoes begin to fall, Cole and his team are forced to make a choice. Go home, or work alone in a hostile system to finish their task. One thing is painfully clear: someone is working against them. Trying to get them out of the way but hasn't taken a lethal approach. Whoever is responsible sticks to the shadows, and Cole can't focus on them without taking his eye off what's most important. 
    Chaos reigns supreme, but what else is new?

    One street, ten doors, who’s the killer? 
    The street that contains No.4 is a dark place, secrets linger and whispers of a murder haunt it. The residents have learnt to live with its sinister past, but when one of their own returns to hunt for the truth, their welcome is far from warm… 
    Fifteen years ago, 35-year-old Henry Carr vanished outside his parents' house on a run-down street in Manchester. 
    Today, a cold case podcast has brought the disappearance to international attention. 
    Now, a young journalist hopes that she might be able to get the locals to open up. After all, she was one of them. But returning won't be easy; there are many reasons why Ruth fled six years ago. 
    There’s minimal evidence, no body and a street in silence. Yet Henry’s elderly and dementia suffering mother, Marianne, appears haunted. She whispers and screams that her son was killed and buried on the street they call home. 
    With the anniversary of Henry’s disappearance fast approaching, Ruth has just days to uncover the truth of what happened to the man she once knew. The more Ruth learns, the more she comes to understand: 
    It might take a street to keep a secret, but it takes just one woman to set it free… 
    Ruth, the amateur sleuth, is determined to uncover the truth. As she navigates through the top secrets of the street, she realises that the fiction she once believed might be far from reality. 
    For fans of Claire Mcgowan (Blood Tide), Lauren North (My Word Against His), Erin Kinsley (Someone You Know), K.L. Slater (The Girlfriend), and Tm Logan (The Daughter).

    It's not every day you wake up to a stranger getting into your bed. Only, he isn't a stranger at all, he's my best friend's hot older brother . . . and apparently my new roommate. Having him in my space, driving me crazy, isn't a problem at all. Nope. All I need to do is keep control of the situation . . . 
     
     
     
    But that's easier said than done. Shawn Lassiter is the kind of distraction I don't need. First he accidentally gets into my bed, half naked, the night before my first day at my new job. Hello, muscles and tattoos! Then he's there, in nothing but a towel, making me coffee in the morning. It's more than any girl can resist. Right? But Shawn is off-limits, even if his eyes are saying differently. 
     
     
     
    Years ago, back when I still had my crush, he destroyed friendships with his reckless playboy antics. There's no way I'm touching those perfectly formed abs now. I don't care how nice and responsible he's acting. I don't want a boyfriend anyway. That's what my trusty vibrator is for. I'm the smart girl—the glasses-wearing, book-reading workaholic. I can totally do this. After all, it's only for two and a half months. I'll be on my best behavior . . . even if Shawn isn't. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
