'NHL hot shot, Nick Hawkeye Hawke has 4 months to recuperate from a potentially career ending injury. All he has to do is take it easy and keep things low key. So, looking after his grandmother's beloved second hand romance bookshop and working very closely with the ruthlessly efficient Samantha Evans is just what he needs right? Wrong!

'Career driven Sam has impulsively decided to swap her highly stressful corporate job for a slower pace in her favourite bookshop at the exact time her biological clock has started to tick. And she wants absolutely none of that. But when your boss is a hot hockey superstar and you can’t stop daydreaming of him being your baby daddy, forced proximity takes on a whole new meaning.

'With temptation around every book shelf, Nick and Sam find themselves skating on thin ice until they put themselves firmly in the friend zone. But the more they try to resist their slow burn, the more they want each other. How long can they stay in the zone until one of them breaks the ice?' (Publication summary)

'From acclaimed Australian author Lyndall Clipstone comes a spellbinding, darkly romantic YA fantasy, perfect for fans of Lynette Noni and Sarah J. Maas.

'Everline Blackthorn has devoted her life to the wardens - warriors who guard against monsters known as the vespertine. When a series of strange omens occur, Everline disobeys orders to investigate and uncovers a startling truth in the form of Ravel Severin- a rogue vespertine who reveals the monsters have secrets of their own.

'Ravel promises the help she needs - for a price. Vespertine magic requires blood, but it's a sin for a warden to feed a vespertine - let alone fall in love with one - and as Everline and Ravel travel farther across the moorland, she realises the question isn't whether she will survive the journey, but if she will return unchanged.' (Publication summary)
