For the last seven years, Mary O'Connor has waited for her first love. Every evening she arrives at Ealing Broadway station and stands with a sign which simply says: 'Come Home Jim'.
Commuters might pass her by without a second thought, but Mary isn't going anywhere. Until an unexpected call turns her world on its head.

It is late June in Ballylack. Hannah Adger anticipates eight long weeks' reprieve from school, but when her classmate Ross succumbs to a violent and mysterious illness, it marks the beginning of a summer like no other.
As others fall ill, questions about what - or who - is responsible pitch the village into conflict and fearful disarray. Hannah, ever the outsider, is haunted by guilt as she remains healthy while her friends are struck down. Isolated and afraid, she prays for help. What happens next will force her to question everything she believes.
Bursting with Carson's trademark wit, profound empathy and soaring imagination, The Raptures explores how tragedy can unite a small community - and tear it apart. At its heart is the extraordinary resilience of one young girl. As the world crumbles around her, she must find the courage to be different in a place where conforming feels like the only option available.
The Raptures is an unmissable novel of 2022. It will cement Jan Carson's reputation as one of the most exciting and inventive writers of her generation.
Simon Duchesne, były pilot myśliwców, syn kongresmena z ambicjami politycznymi, a dodatkowo bogaty przystojniak o orzechowych oczach, mógłby mieć każdą kobietę. Rodzice od dłuższego czasu zresztą podsuwali mu śliczne laleczki, które powinny idealnie do niego pasować. Żadna z nich jednak nie przykuła uwagi Simona na dłużej. Bardzo się więc zdziwił, gdy poczuł ucisk w żołądku na widok twardej, mocno wytatuowanej dziewczyny z kolorowymi włosami, którą spotkał w salonie tatuażu Voodoo Ink.Charlie miała kremową cerę i niebieskie oczy, tajemnicze jak ocean. Nie chciała kłamać na temat swojej przeszłości, dlatego nikomu o niej nie mówiła. Wszak nie zasługiwała nawet na to, by samej sobie współczuć. Wielu ludzi odarto z marzeń, by ona mogła żyć jak księżniczka. Zakłamana księżniczka. Charlie zrozumiała to dopiero wtedy, gdy została zmuszona do ucieczki, porzucenia dotychczasowego życia i rozpoczęcia wszystkiego od nowa. Nowy Orlean dał jej szansę. Praca, alkohol, tatuaże, seks i przygarnięty pies stały się drogą do zbudowania siebie na nowo.Simon wpadł jej w oko, ale nie dała tego po sobie poznać. Kiedy jednak przyszedł do Voodoo Ink po raz kolejny, nie była w stanie zaprzeczyć swoim uczuciom. Powinna była trzymać się od niego z daleka. Bo przecież za nic nie mogła odkryć przed nikim swojej przeszłości, a jako kobieta przyszłego kongresmena nie miała pewności, że jej tajemnice pozostaną bezpieczne. Poza tym nie była odpowiednią kandydatką dla aspirującego polityka. Jej życie zaczęło się mocno komplikować...Jakie tajemnice ukrywasz, ukochana?
Nie zadzieraj z nią, bo to się może skończyć... miłością! Sue, studentka amerykańskiego college'u, ma za sobą ciężkie dzieciństwo ― koszmar przemocy domowej, od którego odgrodziła się mocnym charakterem i wybuchowym temperamentem. Dawne traumy wykorzystuje konstruktywnie i nagromadzoną w sobie agresję wyładowuje na treningach karate. Trenuje, by zostać mistrzynią i zgarnąć za swoje triumfy niezłe pieniądze. Których bardzo, bardzo potrzebuje. Chris jest kapitanem studenckiej drużyny rugby. Odkąd zobaczył Sue na sali gimnastycznej i usłyszał przydomek, jaki nadali jej koledzy z drużyny ― 'Niedotykalska' ― myśli tylko o tym, by jej dotknąć. Realizacja tego pragnienia sporo go kosztuje, ale to nic, skoro plan Chrisa się powiódł. Nawiązuje kontakt ze śliczną, choć bardzo tajemniczą dziewczyną... Wkrótce sprawy ulegają komplikacji. Chris przyjmuje zakład, który z założenia ma być tylko zabawą. Z czasem jednak własne kłamstwa wymykają mu się spod kontroli. Sytuacja staje się jeszcze trudniejsza, gdy Sue poprosi Chrisa o to, by poskładał ją na nowo.
Z miłości do niej mógłby zabić... i może będzie musiał
Aleksandr Siergiejew nie jest człowiekiem, z którym rozsądnie byłoby zadzierać. Jeszcze mniej rozsądnie byłoby podrywać dziewczynę, na której mu zależy. A już zupełnie nie warto robić tego w złych intencjach... Bo Siergiejewowie mogą być mafijnymi bossami, okrutnymi w gniewie i bezwzględnymi dla wrogów, ale kiedy kochają, dla ukochanej osoby zrobią wszystko. Tak jak ojciec Aleksandra dla swojej żony i syna, i tak jak Aleksandr dla Beatrice - dziewczyny, którą upatrzył sobie, kiedy oboje mieli po kilka lat. I z którą chce spędzić resztę życia.
Wygląda jednak na to, że ktoś chce ją skrzywdzić, ktoś na tyle szalony, że nie boi się zemsty Saszy i jego ludzi. Przed Aleksandrem niełatwe zadanie: trzeba odnaleźć winowajcę, a przy tym zapracować na miłość Beatrice - bo dziewczyna wcale nie sprawia wrażenia zachwyconej jego planami matrymonialnymi...
Pierwszy tom mafijnego romansu - ponad 400 tysięcy odsłon na Wattpadzie!
"- Nie wyjdę za ciebie!!! Nie będę twoją żoną!!! - Nie krzyczałam, tylko wrzeszczałam na całe gardło.
- Wyjdziesz, i to za trzy miesiące. Jesteś moja i będziesz moją żoną - powiedział to stanowczo, podchodząc do mnie, ale ja się odsunęłam. Zaczęłam rzucać w niego czym popadnie.
- Nigdy, rozumiesz?! Nigdy! Będziesz bossem rosyjskiej mafii. Nie mam zamiaru uczestniczyć w tym gównie. Znajdź sobie inną, jest wiele panienek, które tylko czekają, aby wejść ci do łóżka, a już nie wspomnę o małżeństwie z tobą!
- Od zawsze byłaś moja. Czy ci się to podoba, czy nie, zostaniesz moją żoną - odparł spokojnie, aż za spokojnie."
fragment książki
„Lustro pełne zakamarków” to opowieść o tym, co najważniejsze – o miłości i przemijaniu. I o tym, że miłość babci trwa, nawet jeśli czas się skończył.
Bo jesteśmy z kobiet, które były przed nami, dla kobiet, które będą po nas. Prababki dają siłę,wnuczki dają nadzieję.

She does everything right. So what could go wrong?
Mackenzie ‘Mac’ Cabot is a people pleaser. It’s exhausting, really, always following the rules. Mac has dreams of her own but to please her parents she moves to the beachside town of Avalon Bay to get her college degree.
Twenty-year-old Mac has had plenty of practice suppressing her wilder impulses, but when she meets local bad boy Cooper Hartley, that ability is suddenly tested. Cooper is rough around the edges. Raw. Candid. A threat to her ordered existence. Their friendship soon becomes the realest thing in her life.
Despite his disdain for the trust-fund kids he sees coming and going from his town, Cooper soon realizes Mac isn’t just another rich clone and falls for her. Hard. But as Mac finally starts feeling accepted by Cooper and his friends, the secret he’s been keeping from her threatens the only place she’s ever felt at home.

In this blinding debut, Robert Jones Jr. blends the lyricism of Toni Morrison with the vivid prose of Zora Neale Hurston to characterise the forceful, enduring bond of love, and what happens when brutality threatens the purest form of serenity.
The Halifax plantation is known as Empty by the slaves who work it under the pitiless gaze of its overseers and its owner, Massa Paul. Two young enslaved men, Samuel and Isaiah dwell among the animals they keep in the barn, helping out in the fields when their day is done. But the barn is their haven, a space of radiance and love – away from the blistering sun and the cruelty of the toubabs – where they can be alone together.
But, Amos – a fellow slave – has begun to direct suspicion towards the two men and their refusal to bend. Their flickering glances, unspoken words and wilful intention, revealing a truth that threatens to rock the stability of the plantation. And preaching the words of Massa Paul’s gospel, he betrays them.
The culminating pages of The Prophets summon a choral voice of those who have suffered in silence, with blistering humanity, as the day of reckoning arrives at the Halifax plantation. Love, in all its permutations, is the discovery at the heart of Robert Jones Jr’s breathtaking debut, The Prophets.
On the day of their estranged father’s wedding, half-sisters Cheyenne and Livy set off to claim their inheritance. It’s been years since the two have seen each other – Cheyenne is newly back in Seattle after a failed marriage, Livy works refinishing boats – but the promise of a shot at financial security brings the two together to claim what’s theirs.
Except: instead of money, their father gives them information – a name – that reveals a stunning family secret. In the face of their new reality, the sisters each set out on journeys that will test their faith in each other, as well as their definitions of freedom.
Moving from Seattle’s underground to the docks of the Far North, from the hideaways of the southern swamps to the storied reaches of the Great Offshore Grounds, this is an epic tale told with boundless verve, linguistic vitality and undeniable tenderness – a book that fearlessly reimagines what the ‘great American novel’ can do.

‘Insatiable is a story about loneliness and trying to fit in, about our desire to be loved and included, how it’s easy to confuse being wanted with being used. It’ll draw people in with the shagging, but people will stay because they’re rooting for Violet.’ Evening Standard
Stuck in a dead-end job, broken-hearted, broke and estranged from her best friend: Violet’s life is nothing like she thought it would be. She wants more – better friends, better sex, a better job – and she wants it now.
So, when Lottie – who looks like the woman Violet wants to be when she grows up – offers Violet the chance to join her exciting start-up, she bites. Only it soon becomes clear that Lottie and her husband Simon are not only inviting Violet into their company, they are also inviting her into their lives.
Seduced by their townhouse, their expensive candles and their Friday-night sex parties, Violet cannot tear herself away from Lottie, Simon or their friends. But is this really the more Violet yearns for? Will it grant her the satisfaction she is so desperately seeking?
Insatiable is about women and desire – lust, longing and the need to be loved. It is a story about being unable to tell whether you are running towards your future or simply running away from your past. The result is at once tender and sad, funny and hopeful.
