All Of Us are Broken by Fiona Cummins~ Every one of them has a dark secret. The Family. After a year they want to forget, the Hardwicke family set out to the Scottish Highlands for a much needed holiday. The Crimes. They are about to cross paths with Missy and Fox, a violent and dangerous young couple hell-bent on infamy, their love story etched in blood and a dark past which must be uncovered. The Detective. As the clock ticks down, Detective Saul Anguish is on the hunt to find the couple before more lives are lost. The Mother - who will be forced to make an impossible decision.
Marriage Act by John Marrs~ What if marriage was the law? Dare you disobey? Britain. The near future. A right-wing government believes it has the answer to society's ills - the Sanctity of Marriage Act, which actively encourages marriage as the norm, punishing those who choose to remain single. But four couples are about to discover just how impossible relationships can be when the government is supervising every aspect of our personal lives, monitoring every word, every minor disagreement . . . and will use every tool in its arsenal to ensure everyone will love, honour and obey.
Keep Her Secret by Mark Edwards~ After twenty years apart, Matthew and Helena have rekindled their college romance and are away in Iceland on their first holiday together. Swept up in the romance on a mountain hike, one moment they are taking the perfect photo, the next Helena is hanging from the cliff edge... Terrified, Matthew almost misses Helena's sudden and shocking confession-but what he hears chills him to the bone. And when Helena reveals the full truth Matthew is horrified, not only by what she's done, but why she did it. Does he really know her at all? His shock turns to horror when, back in England, they discover that someone not only overheard Helena's confession but plans to blackmail her. Now Matthew must decide whether to go to the police or help Helena keep her secret-and as events spiral out of control, how far is Matthew willing to go to protect his 'perfect' girlfriend?
