My Last Brother

How far away will you run from the ghosts of your past?

 

Rule No. 1: Rent’s due on the first of every month.

 

Rule No. 2: No loud noises or partying.

 

Rule No. 3 and the most important one: Never, ever go to the west side of the house.

 

Those are the only three rules that Rohit has set for his newly acquired tenant, Darsh. Fiercely protective of his privacy, Rohit would have never gotten a tenant if not for his financial situation. His life is in tatters, he’s become a shell of a man and after losing his entire family in a car crash, he’s still learning how to function. Now, Rohit spends his days tormented and alone in the bleak mansion. When Darsh moves into the dreary house, he begins to notice that the cheap rent was too good to be true. On top of that, Rohit’s rules might be alluding to much darker secrets. As Darsh begins to uncover the web of half-truths and lies, he starts giving into the small town’s rumours and gossip. Now he has a choice–get out safe and alive or…let curiosity kill the cat.

Carrying On

Nadia has to start over. But will characters from her past—and the dead body at the beach house—let her?

 

From accomplished author Jonita Davis comes a witty and vivid murder mystery, Carrying On. A perfect match for fans of the Stephanie Plum novels and Dial A for Aunties (winner of the Comedy Women In Print prize 2021), this book packs a punch!

 

Nadia sits, tied to a chair, watching curiously as three so-called “gangsters” fret about a ferret. The only thing she can think about at the moment is her life before all of this. At what point did it all go wrong?

 

Well, to understand that, we have to take a trip that started a few weeks and 600 miles back.

 

Before the darned pink Caddy showed up.

Before the seriously sexy paramedic rescued her.

Before a respected local politician was accused of a heinous crime.

 

We have to start on the day when Nadia went about her business, thinking that she had life all put together.

 

She did, until it broke.

Turtle A

Boy meets girl. Girl rips to shreds boy’s idea of the Universe.

 

Binge read Neil Gaiman and Matt Haig till you had an existential crisis? From debut author Ellie Martin-McKinsey comes an equally thought-provoking philosophical fiction book, Turtle A.

 

Turtle A chews on Strawberry B, which causes a string to pull the platform up, releasing Coin C to…you know what? I don’t think I am going to tell you much more than that…

 

Here’s the thing though: one event leads to another until you have a chain of events completing a set goal; at least that’s how The Girl believes The Universe works. Following The Universe’s instructions to set in motion a series of events, The Girl believes that to be her purpose…until she finds Nico, who staunchly believes that The Universe’s grand cosmic plans are a load of horseshit.

 

Which one of them is right? The Girl, who has no identity or place in the world, or Nico, who has worked so hard on his sense of self that somewhere along the way he lost his purpose. How will these two come together to resolve the mysteries of The Universe?

 

When the Universe calls, will you answer?

The Séance That Never Dies

A grieving mother. A séance that went wrong.

 

Binged all of Shirley Jackson’s books and the Netflix sensation The Haunting of Hill House? Looking for your next supernatural obsession? Look no further!

 

Debut author M.Q. Nguyen pens an eerie and emotional tale of a mother and daughter, bound beyond life and death.

 

When Maggie steals a shard of bone from her daughter Carrie’s urn during the ash-scattering ceremony, she is unaware what forces she is allowing into her new home.

 

Strange little happenings around the house leave Maggie hopeful that her daughter is back, but little does she know this comes at a price. Along with her daughter’s gentle spirit, she senses a malevolent one—one that is out to get her! If she brings in an exorcist, they will most likely purge the house of all ghosts, and Maggie cannot bear to lose Carrie so soon, all over again.

 

As the hauntings grow more violent, Maggie has to face the fact that she has a choice to make—it’s her life or Carrie.

 

When the good forces intermingle with the evil, what will a desperate Maggie feel compelled to do to bring her daughter back? What would you?

Freeing Madame X

Escape has never felt like an option. Until him.

 

For years, she has lived under the control of Dave Compton—the arrogant, possessive son of the man who owns the town as surely as he owns its people. To Dave, she is obedience personified, a body to claim and a will to break.

 

Until…

 

Raphael is the magnetic artist who has it all, fame, charm, money—everything except her. An artist who sees more than what Shanaya’s been reduced to. With him, she begins to imagine a life beyond survival. A self beyond submission—showered with passionate love.

 

Desire, for the first time, feels like a choice rather than a demand. Lust takes the centre stage as they are both drawn to each other, knowing very well about the risks involved. 

 

But Dave is not a man who releases what he believes belongs to him. As control tightens and lines are drawn, she is forced to confront what freedom truly costs—and whether she’s brave enough to take what is rightfully hers. Between possession and passion, fear and ecstasy—a reckoning awaits.

 

Will Madame X finally claim her own pleasure?
 

Or will Dave refuse to let her go?

Ishqiya

A woman as intoxicating as the flower she’s named after.

 

A man on a journey to put his loved one to rest.

 

A life-changing train ride during the Bombay monsoons.

Ishqiya is a collection of eight bold and heartwarming stories about love, lust, and everything in between.

After; Life

Death, it turns out, is anything but peaceful.

 

Tetra never imagined the afterlife would involve dodging overeager humans, especially two self-proclaimed “ghostbusters” convinced she doesn’t belong. 

 

Somewhere else, a placement demon in hell faces an unprecedented problem: Calia, an undeniably good person, patiently waiting to be punished for sins that don’t quite exist.

 

Aspen reflects on the strange irony of existence—on being human once, long before becoming something else entirely. 

 

Anis, trapped in a maze of endless twists and turns, wrestles with a dilemma that even death hasn’t resolved. 

 

And these are only a few of the souls navigating what comes next.

 

With centuries of theories about what happens after we die, one truth stands firm: your beliefs shape your afterlife. Heaven, hell, purgatory, and everything in between take form through the minds of those who enter them.

 

Told through nine unforgettable voices—most of them no longer living—this collection brings the afterlife to life in unexpected, darkly humorous, and deeply human ways. 

 

Because death isn’t an ending here. It’s a beginning shaped by belief.

Famous In Love

Dating a K-pop idol is a sweet kind of chaos — all glitter, secrecy, and missed flights wrapped in late-night confessions.

 

It means loving someone whose life belongs to schedules and spotlights, where dates happen backstage, kisses are stolen between performances, and privacy is a luxury. Yet behind the perfect smiles are people who hoard snacks, make impulsive confessions, and fall in love just as messily as anyone else.

 

In Famous in Love, secret dressing-room romances, loophole proposals, and chaotic meet-cutes unfold across the industry—from idols hiding relationships from managers to long-distance fiancés navigating exhaustion, fame, and longing. Some love stories begin with shared fandom obsessions, others with midnight convenience-store encounters, but all are shaped by one truth: love in the spotlight is fragile, funny, and fiercely protected. 

 

Because loving a K-pop idol isn’t just about glamour.

 

It’s about choosing each other through distance, scandal, and silence — again and again, until the stage lights fade and what remains is simply love.

As Hugo struggles to wrap his head around his new, impossible situation named Basil—he’s forced to confront a truth even more unsettling: the stranger is charming, dangerous, and impossible to resist.

Hugo and Basil are falling head over heels for each other and they are loving every moment of it—Basil is ready to go all the way for Hugo. Their college life is more than what Hugo could have ever dreamed of. But as they start to explore this life together, cracks soon begin to appear as their different personalities steer them into different directions. 

 

Will they find their way back to each other?
