Tess: My shotgun marriage was over and done with in the blink of an eye. It’s kind of embarrassing, but Rolly and I were never really a *thing* even though he put a ring on my finger. Yet the craziest part of this is that I’m still visiting my ex’s dad in prison after the divorce … while putting the “conjugal” in “conjugal visit.” Is that bad? But I can’t help it because the older man is dark, demanding, and dangerous … with a massive tool that has me completely obsessed. Roland: Tess is young and innocent, and the other prisoners literally drool when they see the curvy girl arrive for our “family reunifications.” But does that stop me? Hell no. I’m a ruthless m*therf*cker making the bed springs squeak as I instruct the innocent young girl on the intricacies of being a woman … and I don’t care how wrong it is because I’m already behind bars! Holy smokes, call the fire department! Actually, call the NYPD, the Coast Guard, and the Air Force too while you’re at it because this story is beyond the pale when it comes to taboo. After all, Tess and Roland are pulling out the stops, and they’re not going to let something so inconvenient as a prison term get in their way. Let’s just hope that the guards are ready for action because our couple is raunchy, inventive, and utterly uncompromising in a deliciously dirty way! This is a follow-up to My Not-So-Innocent Babysitter where the heat is dialed up to SCALDING. However, be forewarned because there are questionable scenes inside, so do not purchase if you’re faint of heart.

Paul Verhoeven's father, John, is a cop. Well, an ex-cop. Long since retired, John spent years embroiled in some of the seediest, scariest intrigue and escapades imaginable. Paul, however, is something of an artsy, sensitive soul who can’t understand why he doesn’t have the same heroism and courage as his dad. One day, John offers Paul the chance of a lifetime: he'll spill his guts, on tape, for the first time ever, and try to get to the bottom of this difference between them. What unfolds is a goldmine of true-crime stories, showing John’s dramatic (and sometimes dodgy) experience of policing in Sydney in the 1980s. The crims, the car chases, the frequent brushes with death and violence, and the grey zone between what’s ethical and what’s effective: finally Paul gets real insight into what’s formed his father’s character. Thrilling, fascinating and often laugh-out-loud funny, Loose Units is a high-octane adventure in policing, integrity and learning what your father is really all about.

ISBN: 006249922X

Inspired by the website that the New York Times hailed as "redefining mourning," this book is a fresh and irreverent examination into navigating grief and resilience in the age of social media, offering comfort and community for coping with the mess of loss through candid original essays from a variety of voices, accompanied by gorgeous two-color illustrations and wry infographics. At a time when we mourn public figures and national tragedies with hashtags, where intimate posts about loss go viral and we receive automated birthday reminders for dead friends, it’s clear we are navigating new terrain without a road map. Let’s face it: most of us have always had a difficult time talking about death and sharing our grief. We’re awkward and uncertain; we avoid, ignore, or even deny feelings of sadness; we offer platitudes; we send sympathy bouquets whittled out of fruit. Enter Rebecca Soffer and Gabrielle Birkner, who can help us do better. Each having lost parents as young adults, they co-founded Modern Loss, responding to a need to change the dialogue around the messy experience of grief. Now, in this wise and often funny book, they offer the insights of the Modern Loss community to help us cry, laugh, grieve, identify, and—above all—empathize. Soffer and Birkner, along with forty guest contributors including Lucy Kalanithi, singer Amanda Palmer, and CNN’s Brian Stelter, reveal their own stories on a wide range of topics including triggers, sex, secrets, and inheritance. Accompanied by beautiful hand-drawn illustrations and witty "how to" cartoons, each contribution provides a unique perspective on loss as well as a remarkable life-affirming message. Brutally honest and inspiring, Modern Loss invites us to talk intimately and humorously about grief, helping us confront the humanity (and mortality) we all share. Beginners welcome.

They’re rich, they’re famous, and they’re about to fall apart… From Kristina Adams, author of the bestselling What Happens in… series comes the first book in the prequel companion series Hollywood Gossip. Jump back in time to when Tate and Jack were in their late teens, trying to transition from child stars to megastars. Follow them on their journey as they become friends, enemies, and lovers alongside familiar faces from the What Happens in Hollywood Universe and new ones you’re going to love. Hollywood Gossip Jack I never had anything, growing up. I was a homeless orphan doing what I could to survive. One night, I got lucky DJing and a record label hired me. My first album took off, but I can’t seem to replicate its success. So instead, I drink. And I party. And I do whatever else I can to avoid my problems. Until she walked in. Tate’s like no one else I’ve ever met. She’s obsessed with her work. But that’s not why I’m drawn to her. She’s funny, she’s sexy, and she’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. And I think she hates me. I mean, I don’t blame her. We couldn’t be more different. But what if…she didn’t hate me? Could our workplace collaboration turn into something more, or am I living in a romantic fantasy? Tate What’s it really like to grow up rich and famous? Pressure. So much pressure. Unbelievable, inescapable pressure. My whole life has been about building my brand as an actor and singer. Reaching the top of the Hollywood ladder. I will not let anyone screw it up. Not even Jack. He’s talented, sure, but his work ethic is practically non-existent. I have no time for people like him. Yet I’m weirdly drawn to him and I can’t work out why. He’s so different to anyone else I’ve ever met, so completely outside of my celebrity bubble. It’s refreshing. But it’s also dangerous. He could completely ruin everything I’ve spent my whole life building. Am I about to screw up my whole life for one guy? For one chance at love? Hollywood Parents Tate My parents are divorcing after 30 years of marriage. Oh, and I just accidentally found out I’m adopted. Cue identity crisis. With parents who won’t stop arguing, an ex-boyfriend I can’t stop thinking about, a sexy Texan model I’ve treated terribly, and a career on the rocks, it’s no understatement to say that my chipper demeanour is under threat. But I can totally handle it. Can’t I?! Jack Life isn’t nearly as fun as I wait to be. I think my best friend might be turning into my best frenemies. But how can I be sure? It’s hard to work out when I’m also battling a gruelling touring schedule and might lose my house. All things considered, I think I’m handling everything pretty well. Aren’t I? Hollywood Drama Tate I’m so sick of everyone seeing me as—and treating me like—a child star. I’m in my twenties! I’m not a child anymore. So I’m leaving. My management company. My record label. And the country. It’s time for a fresh start. If only the rest of the world agreed… Jack I’ve officially made it as a DJ—I’m doing a residency in Ibiza! It doesn’t get much better than spending the summer surrounded by music, sunshine, and parties. But can I resist the never-ending supply of drink and drugs in the clubbing capital of Europe? And what does spending the summer away from Tate mean for our relationship? If you’re looking for a serial will they/won’t they romantic drama about love, hate, and the pressures of fame, you won’t find one that’s more of a rollercoaster read than this. For fans of Marian Keyes or Paige Toon, this is the first book in an on/off love story featuring strong language, detailed descriptions of mental health conditions, and found family.
