Rebecca Baxter has killed James Reid multiple times. Well, the fictional version of him anyway. As an astronomer, James likes debunking the “science” in science fiction books. As a romance author, Rebecca is more concerned with happy endings than string theory. After a video he made criticising her best selling sci-fi romance book sparked an online feud, the two of them can’t stand to be in the same room together. Still reeling from the writer’s block (and emotional damage) James’ review caused her, she works out her feelings by writing elaborate death scenes for him and vows to never speak to him again. That is until they’re both selected for an analog Mars mission in Antarctica. They’ll be spending four months locked in a small dome, pretending they’re on another planet. Unfortunately, avoiding someone is extra difficult when you’re stuck on a barren continent and can’t stop daydreaming about kissing them. These two are about to find out just how quickly hate can defrost into love… Love Below Zero is an enemies to lovers STEM rom com with forced proximity, banter, lots of nerdy references, no third act break up, and a happily ever after.

What if you bear an uncanny resemblance to a missing prince? 1533\. Mary Fox agrees to stand in for young Henry Fitzroy, the illegitimate son of Henry VIII. But then she uncovers a treacherous plot behind the prince's disappearance; one that goes right to the very top of the Tudor Court. It's a plot to change the royal line of succession, and will almost certainly make England descend into another bloody civil war. As Mary is pulled deeper and deeper into the deception, she realises she has to seize control and turn the tables on the plot’s mysterious ringleader. But there’s a twist; the man ordered to kidnap the prince is none other than Jacob Cruddon, Mary’s bitterest enemy. Can Mary defeat Cruddon and get out alive, or will he get his own revenge by killing her first? The Tudor Prince is Mary Fox's most dangerous adventure yet. Readers have said: “The Tudor Prince will have you rooting for the swash-buckling Mary from page one.” “I adored the first book but this one surpasses it! It's Mary Fox with a Tudor twist.”

When the ship sails on, death follows in its wake.What if you witness a murder on a cruise ship? How long before the killer tries to silence you too – forever? It’s the 1960s and Margaret Hargreaves is newly on board the SS Ocean Star as a laundry maid. Her nightmare begins when she mistakenly enters the wrong cabin after a party. What she sees could be enough to send the murderer to jail for life. Which means he’ll do whatever it takes to stop her from talking. As the danger increases, Margaret realises that there’s only one man who can help her. But he’s very hard to find, as there are over a thousand passengers and crew on board. Can she get to him before the killer finally succeeds in murdering her? The Ship Sails On is the debut novel from Valerie Lawson – whose own experience of serving on a cruise ship in the 1960s comes through on every page. Not only does she bring us an exciting adventure, but also an extremely colourful cast of characters – with illicit liaisons, wild partying, drag shows, some very coarse language – and plenty of booze. There are even desperate diamond smuggling plots as well! It all makes for a very vibrant backdrop to Margaret’s dangerous adventure.
