  An ambitious ex-motorcyclist and heir to billions fakes an engagement to claim his inheritance. But with a single kiss, everything changes. 
   
  Alex Jenkins has a reputation: he's Atlanta's most eligible bachelor, a former competitive motorcycle racer, and a man who isn't afraid of a bit of a challenge. But when the off-limits marketing intern Evie Cooper catches his attention, self-control has a whole new meaning. 
   
  Then Evie is drawn into an engagement-for-show with Alex so that he can secure his place as the company's successor. His reputation as a bad boy is not exactly on brand and a serious commitment could prove to his family that he is mature enough to take over. 
   
  As Evie becomes immersed in the Jerkins clan, her humble origins come into stark contrast with the snobbery of the billionaire lifestyle. Awash in new-found lust and overwhelmed by a world of luxury, Evie struggles to decipher what is a ruse and what is real. 
   
  Can Alex exchange his love of the chase for real love? Can Evie's spunk and personality win over Alex's family? Can their raw passion transform their fauxmance into a meaningful relationship?

  Are you sure you know what loss truly means? What about guilt that gnaws at you from the inside, day after day, year after year? Kyle Rain knows. He saw the world shatter, witnessed the abyss of the Rift consume everything he held dear. His family vanished, leaving only an echo in his tormented soul. 
  But the Echo is not just the past. It's a key. A key to saving what's left of the world. A key hidden in the heart of the most dangerous Rift – "Echo-7." 
  Embark with Kyle and his desperate team on a journey beyond the veil of reality. Into the Wasteland, where every step is a fight for survival, where the air trembles with anomalies, and shadows whisper your deepest fears. Come face to face with an entity that feeds on pain and loneliness, one that knows you better than you know yourself. 
  "Echo of the Rift" is not just another post-apocalyptic story. It's a deep dive into the human psyche, an exploration of the limits of the mind and the desperate struggle for redemption. It's a book that will make you question reality, your own memories, the very definition of humanity. 
  Forget everything you've read about the post-apocalypse. There are no tired clichés here. There is only scorched earth, roaring Rifts, the shadows of the past, and a desperate hope for the future that may prove to be nothing but a cruel illusion. 
  Are you ready to peer into the abyss? Are you ready to hear the Echo of the Rift?

  From Far Around They Saw Us Burn is the eagerly awaited first short story collection from Alice Jolly, one of the most exciting and accomplished voices in British fiction today.
  The extraordinary range of work gathered here is united by a fascination with how everyday interactions can transform our lives in unpredictable ways. These are stories of lonely people, outcasts and misfits, and the ghosts that inhabit our intimate spaces. The result is a compelling, arresting and, at times, devastating collection – not least in the title story, which was inspired by the tragic true events of the 1943 Cavan orphanage fire.
  Written with an exemplary eye for detail and an intimate understanding of the complexities of human nature, Jolly's collection builds up towards the ultimate question: what is revealed of us when we peel away the surfaces, and is it enough?

  Can a nerdy loner perform the 12 Labors of Hercules? 
   Nick hates high school and everyone in it. He's always been "different," but thought it was due to his dark skin... 
   ...not because his father is Chiron, the immortal centaur. 
   Now, Chiron's back in his life for the first time in Nick's memory, but instead of bringing an Xbox, all his dad does is deliver Nick to the wacked-out world of Mýthos and present a quest: 
   Complete the 12 Labors of Hercules and rid the world of monsters before the titan Typhon breaks out of Tartarus...or Mýthos will be destroyed. 
   Nck is more than aware he's not cut out to be a hero. Can't he just go home and get bullied like a normal teenager? That would hurt a lot less than his current suicide mission. 
   But there's one little catch - if he doesn't succeed, Earth will be destroyed, too! 
   Can Nick complete his 12 Labors before our world is destroyed? Or has everyone been right about him all along?  
   Find out in The Twelve Labors of Nick, the first book in the action-packed Mýthos fantasy series. 
   If you like courageous heroes, page-turning tension, and a new fun twist on Greek myths, then you'll love this fast-paced tale.
