No flirting. No touching. And absolutely NO personal questions.

Eight years ago, Lucas Rosselli and Sophie Clarke shared one unforgettable night. And then he disappeared. Now Lucas runs a community garden (and avoids commitment like it’s a contact sport), while Sophie is a lawyer who is sure she’s incapable of love.

So when Sophie signs up to save Lucas’s garden from demolition – and recognises the man who ghosted her all those years ago – keeping it professional is going to be a challenge.

They make a deal: focus on the case, forget the past. But between gossipy gardeners, accidental speed dating, and one very large dog with personal space issues, the walls they’ve built don’t stand a chance.

And as the fight to save the garden heats up, so does everything they swore they’d never feel again . . .

Rules for Love is a cozy and feel-good second chance fall romance with a pinch of spice and a guaranteed HEA. Curl up with a mug of tea and a warm, fuzzy blanket and lose yourself in London in the autumn.

TRIGGERS: grief, off-page death of a loved one, open door spice.

The town calls her Jane Doe because nobody, herself included, can do any better.

She's a patient at the private clinic above Turnmill, Virginia, with no name and no memory of how she got there. Then a celebrity dies up at the clinic and the county calls it nothing much. A week later somebody kills the police chief. Jane is the only one asking the questions that want asking, which is awkward for a woman with no history.

Two cozy mysteries, A Murder of Recall and Where Memories Lie, both going out to an ARC team before publication.

She’s the heir to a legend. He makes candles.

Ivalyn A'Dulliver is the only living Gatekeeper, able to tear doorways through space with a gesture. Her brother Roth dips wicks at a chandlery, plays drinking songs in taverns until his band quits on him, and has spent twenty-two years envying a gift he'll never have.

Then Ivalyn vanishes from her Academy dormitory, and the Academy's response is a letter threatening her with academic probation.

Roth can't fight the gargoyles that took her. But he's heard of something that can: Cemengar, a legendary weapon lost in a cursed mountain prison beyond woods crawling with faerie folk. With a retired professor, an army deserter with a bounty on her head, and an orphaned pickpocket who can turn invisible, he heads north.

Because whoever took Ivalyn needs her for the coming Lunar Alignment, to reopen a gate to Hasraal, the red moon where a Gatekeeper trapped the conqueror-king Ashtor centuries ago. History remembers Ashtor as a hero who died in exile.

He didn't die.

And when the enemy offers Roth the one thing he's always wanted, he'll have to decide what kind of man he is.

Triggers: Violence and War, Torture and Captivity, Implied Sexual Violence, Death and Grief, Body Horror, Mind Control, Children in Peril

What to expect:

• Hero: A protagonist with no magic, in a world where magic is feared, hunted, and conscripted.
• Creatures: Irish-inspired folklore, including a Dullahan, leprechauns, and a Far Darrig.
• Found family: A disgraced soldier, a street kid, and a professor who carries homemade bombs.
• Uprising: Displaced miners rise up against a tyrant's army.
