Will needed Lou as much as she needed him, but will her love be enough to save his life? 
 
Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun teashop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. 
 
What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane. 
 
Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that. 
 
What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time. 
 
If you fell in love with Lou Clark, find out what she does next in After You and Still Me - out now!

Me Before You

Sinéad Moriarty

Three couples. One therapist's couch ... 
 
Alice and Niall used to be lovers, best friends and parents, in that order. Now they're no longer on the same page or even reading from the same book. 
 
Ann thought when she and Ken retired, it would be their second spring. Instead, it feels more like an icy winter. 
 
Orla is falling in love with boyfriend Paul, but her complicated past makes her unsure if she can ever be intimate with anyone. 
 
Three couples find themselves telling a stranger about the most private part of their lives - their hopes, their disappointments, their awkward realisations. 
 
Can they learn to be honest with each other? And what life-changing decisions will be made when they do?

About Us

Evie Hamilton has a secret . . . one she doesn't even know about. Yet . . . 
 
Evie's an Oxfordshire wife and mum whose biggest worry in life is whether or not she can fit in a manicure on her way to fetch her daughter from clarinet lessons. But she's blissfully unaware that her charmed and happy life is about to be turned upside-down. 
For one sunny morning a letter lands on Evie's immaculate doormat. It's a bombshell, knocking her carefully arranged and managed world completely askew and it threatening to sabotage all she holds dear. 
What will be left and what will change forever? Is Evie strong enough to fight for what she loves? Can her entire world really be as fragile as her best china?

The Ends of the Earth

Marian Keyes

'How did it end up like this? Twenty-seven, unemployed, mistaken for a drug addict, in a treatment centre in the back arse of nowhere with an empty Valium bottle in my knickers . . .' 
 
Meet Rachel Walsh. She has a pair of size 8 feet and such a fondness for recreational drugs that her family has forked out the cash for a spell in Cloisters - Dublin's answer to the Betty Ford Clinic. She's only agreed to her incarceration because she's heard that rehab is wall-to-wall jacuzzis, gymnasiums and rock stars going tepid turkey - and it's about time she had a holiday. 
 
But what Rachel doesn't count on are the toe-curling embarrassments heaped on her by family and group therapy, the dearth of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll - and missing Luke, her ex. What kind of a new start in life is this?

Rachel's Holiday

Emily Bell

Norah Jones is known for two things, sharing a name with a famous musician and always being single. 
After another year of heartbreak Norah fears spending Christmas alone. Before she remembers Andrew, who she fell for ten years earlier. 
Fate pulled them apart, but not before they made a promise: 
If they're both still single on Christmas Eve 2019 they must stand under the clock at Bewley's Café on Grafton Street, Dublin. 
So that's where Norah decides to go. To Dublin. To that clock. And, hopefully, to Andrew. 
But it wouldn't be Christmas without a few surprises . . .

Foul Play

DICK FRANCIS was one of the most successful post-war National Hunt jockeys and author of forty-three bestselling novels, a volume of short stories (Field of 13), the biography of Lester Piggott and his own autobiography (The Sport of Queens). He was rightly acclaimed as one of the greatest thriller writers in the world. 
 
 Since his death, his son FELIX FRANCIS has taken over the literary reigns from his father and Dick's legacy lives on through the Dick Francis novels. The Francis flair is clear for all to see in these national treasure thrillers, and readers will appreciate the sporadic reappearance of beloved series characters Sid Halley and Jeff Hinkley.
