'If you're girding your loins for Bridgerton, you may want to indulge in this Regency romp' - THE TIMES London, 1813 As a daughter of the notorious Wyverne family, Lady Amelia is used to being the subject of gossip. But while she has accepted her marred reputation - however unfair it is - she hates the horrible men it attracts. Amelia decides she needs a suitor of impeccable repute to save her from the attentions of ungentlemanly gentlemen, and who better than the handsome and famously moral Lord Thornfalcon? Since coming into his title, 'Thorn' has been besieged by women who want to marry him, or have an affair with him, or both - so perhaps a pretend relationship might suit him too? There's just one small catch. Thorn's childhood sweetheart Lavinia has also set her sights on him again, and rallied half the ton behind her. But what does that matter to Amelia - it's only a fake engagement, isn't it? Except, as Lavinia and her friends try to tear Amelia and Thorn apart, she starts to realise that her feelings may not be quite so fake after all. Because the trouble with brave and handsome Lords is... they might just steal your heart.

A Little Princess is a children's novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The novella appears to have been inspired in part by Charlotte Brontë's unfinished novel, Emma, featuring a rich heiress with a mysterious past who is apparently abandoned at a boarding school. The thread of the book is evident in the novella, in which Sara Crewe is left at Miss Minchin's, loses her father, is worked as a drudge, and is surprised with the kindness of an Indian gentleman who turns out to be Captain Crewe's friend. However, at just over one-third the length of the later book, the novella is much less detailed. Generally, the novel expanded on things in the novella; Captain Crewe's "investments" are only referred to briefly and generally, and much of the information revealed in conversations in the novel is simply summarised. However, there are details in the novella which were dropped for the novel. While a drudge, Sara is said to have frequented a library, in which she read books about women in rough circumstances being rescued by princes and other powerful men. In addition, Mr. Carrisford's illness is specified as liver trouble.

"Compassionate, insightful and incredibly practical. Anna Mathur transforms the way we understand anger" - Abby Rawlinson, author of Reclaiming You Your rage isn't a character flaw. It's a message. You didn't used to be like this, did you? The sharp words, the slammed drawer, the guilt that follows. I've been there too - wondering how I became someone who snaps at the people I love the most. What if I told you that your anger isn't bad and it isn't something you need to hide? For too long we've been taught to bottle it up, to keep smiling, to push it down. But anger is normal. Anger is necessary. And when you understand it, anger can become one of your greatest allies. In this book, I'll help you to see rage differently, not as something shameful, but as a signal of what you need. We'll explore where it comes from, how to catch it sooner, to repair faster, and to use its energy to create change rather than damage. Your anger doesn't make you broken, it makes you human. And when you learn to listen to it, rage can become one of your greatest sources of power, protection and connection. "Essential reading for all recovering people-pleasers!" - Emma Reed Turrell, author of What Am I Missing? "A compassionate and insightful book that brings understanding to a subject so often misunderstood and wrapped in shame" - Simon Gilham, author of Stop Lying to Yourself

"Compassionate, insightful and incredibly practical. Anna Mathur transforms the way we understand anger" - Abby Rawlinson, author of Reclaiming You Your rage isn't a character flaw. It's a message. You didn't used to be like this, did you? The sharp words, the slammed drawer, the guilt that follows. I've been there too - wondering how I became someone who snaps at the people I love the most. What if I told you that your anger isn't bad and it isn't something you need to hide? For too long we've been taught to bottle it up, to keep smiling, to push it down. But anger is normal. Anger is necessary. And when you understand it, anger can become one of your greatest allies. In this book, I'll help you to see rage differently, not as something shameful, but as a signal of what you need. We'll explore where it comes from, how to catch it sooner, to repair faster, and to use its energy to create change rather than damage. Your anger doesn't make you broken, it makes you human. And when you learn to listen to it, rage can become one of your greatest sources of power, protection and connection. "Essential reading for all recovering people-pleasers!" - Emma Reed Turrell, author of What Am I Missing? "A compassionate and insightful book that brings understanding to a subject so often misunderstood and wrapped in shame" - Simon Gilham, author of Stop Lying to Yourself

For fans of We Are the Brennans by Tracey Lange and All Adults Here by Emma Straub, Cat Shook's debut novel If We're Being Honest is the snappy, smart, heartwarming story of the Williams family, and the sweltering summer that rewrote their history. When Gerry, the beloved Williams patriarch, dies suddenly, his grandchildren flock from across the country to the family home in Eulalia, Georgia. But when Gerry's best friend steps up to the microphone to deliver his eulogy, the funeral turns out unlike anyone expected. The cousins, left reeling and confused, cope with their fresh grief and various private dramas. Delia, recently heartbroken, refuses to shut up about her ex. Her sister Alice, usually confident, flusters when she spots her high school sweetheart, hiding a secret that will change both of their lives. Outspoken, affable Grant is preening in the afterglow of his recent appearance on The Bachelorette and looking to reignite an old flame with the least available person in town. Meanwhile, his younger brother Red, unsure of himself and easily embarrassed, desperately searches for a place in the boisterous family. The cousins' eccentric parents are in tow, too, and equally lost-in love and in life. Watching over them all is Ellen, Gerry's sweet and proper widow, who does her best to keep her composure in front of the leering small town. Clever and completely original, If We're Being Honest reminds you that while no one can break your heart like your family can, there's really no one better to put you back together.
