So when Damiano and Sofia decide to work together—they are playing with the devil himself, blurring the lines between duty and temptation. What begins as trouble soon teeters on the edge of something far more perilous.

Will they destroy each other as fate intended?

Or will they surrender to the intoxicating pull of sin, changing the course of their lives forever?

The Advice Columnist

You’re your own best friend. Nobody knows you better than you. Talk to yourself like you would talk to someone you love.

These are all cliches advice columnist Joannie Simmons shied away from—until a ghost of her younger self confronts her via email.

Joannie always thought that advice was timeless. The devices and the lingo may change, but the problems remain the same. But Joannie’s in for a rude shock when she’s unceremoniously dumped from The Valley News where she worked for over 30 years as an advice columnist.

Joannie doesn’t know what to do with herself anymore. What advice would she give herself? Move on, go with the flow, reconnect with the things you love. But is her advice as obsolete as she seems to have become?

Joannie’s family certainly thinks so. Her older daughter is planning a major life change and doesn’t bother consulting her; her younger daughter only calls her for babysitting; and Joannie is sure her husband is hiding something huge.

Nobody knows the right words to help Joannie—except herself from over thirty years ago. When she’s bombarded with texts, emails and calls from the young Joansie, will she answer her younger self? And after shelling out advice to others for years on end, will Joannie be able to follow her own advice?

For fans of Sarah Addison Allen, Jodi Picoult & Jojo Moyes, Janie Emaus’ The Advice Columnist is going to be the next favourite read!

A first date at their local favorite café Out of This World sounds perfect—but when Sonja shows up at the decided time and day, she finds Jonas missing from the café. Did they get their wires crossed? Was it a different location? Or worse…did he just not show up?

Little does she know, Jonas is experiencing a similar fate at his local Laurelville café.

The two assume they’ve been stood up, and although it may be the trend of the times, it hurts nonetheless. However, a quick video call turns their despair into confusion. As Jonas shows he is indeed in the café, so does Sonja…so who’s in the wrong? If it’s the same time, date and place…what’s different?

Are there forces beyond their understanding lurking in their universe, wreaking havoc on their dating life? And are they the only ones affected?

This accessible, up-to-date book charts Al’s rise from its origins in the Cold War to its increasing impact on us today and in the coming years.

This is a pithy ‘start here’ guide for anyone who wants to know more about the next big technology that will govern our lives, whether we like it or not.

Three women. Three irresistible temptations. One very heated cuffing season.

This seductive collection brings together three unlikely heroines, each craving a man who’s supposed to be off-limits—or entirely out of reach. Supposedly.

There’s the secretary who can’t help but notice how dangerously good her boss looks in those perfectly fitted shirts—and how hard it is to keep things professional.

An erotica writer desperately searching for inspiration, only to find it far closer (and hotter) than expected.

They have nothing in common—except their undeniable thirst for the men complicating their lives.

As winter nights grow colder and loneliness sets in, desire takes over, rules blur, and fantasies demand to be explored. Because sometimes, all a girl really needs is a little escapism—and a lot of steam.

Turn the lights down, get comfortable, and settle in for a wild, wicked ride.

Peculiar Occurrences in the 18th Century Town of Sillyshire

Set in the windswept coastal town of Goodwood, Peculiar Occurrences in the 18th Century Town of Sillyshire begins with a romance that was never meant to survive.

Henrietta, dreamy and misunderstood, falls for the troubled and obsessive Burton. In 1742, their story ends in horror when she plunges from a cliff into the roaring sea—her body never recovered, her death transforming instantly into myth.

A year later, Henrietta returns. Alive. Unchanged. And yet entirely other.

Drawn from the ocean with an eerie calm and impossible beauty, she mesmerizes the townspeople who once pitied or mocked her. Soon, fear gives way to devotion. Whispers of miracles spread. Offerings are made. And then the sacrifices begin. Those given to the sea do not simply die—they transform, joining Henrietta in a strange underwater kingdom that grows stronger with each passing week.

As Goodwood empties and the line between hysteria and faith dissolves, the town must confront an unsettling truth: is Henrietta a monster born of tragedy, or a queen forged by collective guilt and longing?

Blending gothic folklore, dark humour, and creeping cosmic horror, this novel explores how easily communities surrender to legend—and how quickly love can evolve into worship.

Gather round. This is a story worth hearing.
