The Last Resortby Jenny Stallard

The trip had been part of Jackie’s grand plan.

Jackie and her boyfriend, the perfect Jack with his handsome looks, wealth and charm, would spend one season working in the slopes. A final blow-out before they finally settled down.

Jack and Jackie, Jackie and Jack. Childhood sweethearts, they would escape their small town and experience the romance of La France.

But at the airport, poised to buy their two tickets, Jack shatters her dreams of the perfect Christmas. He’s been seeing someone else. Not just anyone, their lodger.

With her last ounce of resolve, Jackie boards the plane and sets off on an Alpine adventure of her own.

When she’s not cleaning up fondue, carving the early morning snow, or nursing a Genepi-induced hangover, Jackie tortures herself with the smug Facebook updates of Jack and his new girl.

But as Christmas approaches, Jack is given an ultimatum by his father: settle down or lose your inheritance. His best option? Reliable Jackie, with her grand plans for a steady future.

Will Jack be able to win back Jackie, in time for the New Year?

Can Jackie embrace life as a single girl seasonnaire?

And what of the quiet and mysterious Jacques who is always there to pick her up and dust her down?

It will take a special kind of romance to teach Jackie to let it go…

‘The Last Resort’ is a wickedly funny contemporary romance, set in the snowy slopes of the Alps. It is a festive read that is perfect for fans of Helen Fielding and Wendy Holden.

But the more time they spend together, the more Gideon wants to be there for Lucy–not just for hire but full-time, forever.

Read Between the Linesby Ali Parker

Talented. Successful. Wealthy.

That’s me, and I look damn good in a three-piece suit or in nothing at all.

Nudity is my jam.

I’m an artist and my favorite inspiration is the female figure. Curvy. Beautiful. Lush.

My life is perfect. Fast cars. Big luxurious home.

And we’re opening more galleries across the country.

The only thing I don’t have is inconsequential: love.

Then a beautiful curvy woman shows up on my gallery floor and her wise ways and sexy sway make me think differently.

Maybe the life I have isn’t what I want after all.

I thought I knew what living was, but after her, I’m not so sure.

She’s challenging. Fickle. Flighty.

She wants to travel abroad and she never saw a man like me fitting into her life. Poor thing doesn’t know what she’s missing.

She’s mine. Period. Now I just need to be subtle, cool, collected.

And she needs to read between the lines.

Half a Soulby Olivia Atwater

It’s difficult to find a husband in Regency England when you’re a young lady with only half a soul.
Ever since a faerie cursed her, Theodora Ettings has had no sense of fear, embarrassment, or even happiness–a condition which makes her sadly prone to accidental scandal. Dora’s only goal for the London Season this year is to stay quiet and avoid upsetting her cousin’s chances at a husband… but when the Lord Sorcier of England learns of her condition, she finds herself drawn ever more deeply into the tumultuous concerns of magicians and faeries.

Lord Elias Wilder is handsome, strange, and utterly uncouth–but gossip says that he regularly performs three impossible things before breakfast, and he is willing to help Dora restore her missing half. If Dora’s reputation can survive both her ongoing curse and her sudden connection with the least-liked man in all of high society, then she may yet reclaim her normal place in the world… but the longer Dora spends with Elias Wilder, the more she begins to suspect that one may indeed fall in love, even with only half a soul.

Pride and Prejudice meets Howl’s Moving Castle in this enthralling historical fantasy romance, where the only thing more meddlesome than faeries is a marriage-minded mama. Pick up Half a Soul, and be stolen away into debut author Olivia Atwater’s charming, magical version of Regency England!
