Twisted & Collateral
Summary
Twisted. Sloane. How many times can a person fall down and still get back up? How many times can things go wrong before you just give up? I’ve lost everything. My home, my job, my purpose in life - everything has been turned upside down. But while life hasn’t exactly turned out the way I would have liked it to, I wouldn’t change a thing. If things were different, I wouldn’t have Lacey. I wouldn’t have Michael. But most importantly, I wouldn’t have him. I’ve realised what I feel. He knew it before I did. Only one question remains: is he capable of feeling the same way? Zeth. Secrets are a prison, and I have been behind bars for years. Sloane Romera has been turning keys in all of my locks, throwing light on corners of my mind that I thought would forever be shrouded in darkness. Or at least I had hoped would be. I have done so many wrongs in this life, yet this woman has forgiven me. She’s done something I never thought possible — she has learned to understand me, and she hasn’t run. She’s amazed me. She’s saved me. She’s fallen in love with me. If it’s within my power, I’m about to do the same for her. Collateral. The final instalment in Zeth and Sloane's story! With Lacey missing and everything falling apart, Sloane and Zeth will do everything they can to get her back. If that includes facing off against Charlie Holsan, the DEA, and anyone else who gets in their way, then so be it. Faced with heartbreak, danger, and the increasing need to protect the ones he loves, Zeth Mayfair is finally realising what it means to have a family. With her fears coming full circle, Sloane must learn that forgiveness is the only way to move forward.

First Girl Gone
Summary
An absolutely addictive crime thriller with a twist Down the beach, she can just make out the rusting hulk of the Ferris wheel through the dawn mist. The hairs prickle on her neck as she drags her focus back to the chestnut hair fanned out in the shallow water at her feet, to the grains of sand decorating the beautiful girl’s white cheeks like freckles. Private Detective Charlie Winters never thought she’d find herself back on Salem Island, but she’s forced home to reopen the wound that never healed: Her sister was abducted from the small town when they were teenagers. For Charlie, her sister’s voice in her head - pushing her to risk everything to seek justice for the innocent - is a painful and constant reminder of what she lost. And never has that voice been louder than when a family friend comes to Charlie begging for help to find her missing daughter, Kara. Searching Kara’s messy, poster-covered bedroom, Charlie finds more questions than answers. Did Kara run away, or was she snatched? She’s clearly been keeping secrets from her family - but don’t all teenagers? A little black matchbook hidden in a jewelry box is Charlie’s only lead, but the seedy nightclub it comes from proves to be nothing but a dangerous dead end. Until Charlie is approached by a second distraught mother whose daughter has also vanished. Forced at every turn to relive the trauma she ran away from, Charlie’s blood runs cold when a girl’s body is discovered in the exact spot on the water’s edge where the last trace of her sister was found. It’s clear someone is taunting Charlie, but with other innocent girls’ lives at risk, she has no choice but to take the bait.... Fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni, and Lisa Regan will need to sleep with the lights on!

And ‘normal’ is falling for a man who might never be able to feel the same way. Zeth’s goal - the one single woman on the face of the planet he’s truly ever wanted - can be obtained only by fixing things instead of destroying them. How can he adjust a lifetime of violence in order to make her his once and for all? And how can he make sure that she is safe? The first part is going to take time. But the second part... The second part is easy. He must kill Charlie Holsan.

Summary
Richard and Judy and international best-selling author. A tragic love story spanning three decades, The Bench is Saskia Sarginson's most accomplished and heart-rending novel to date.

Ten years ago, they made a pact: On this bench, on this day, they will end a love affair that's spanned three decades, or start again. They should never have met. They should never have fallen in love. But they did, until a lie separated them for a lifetime. Can they fix the mistake, forgive the lie, erase the years in between? Can what was lost ever truly be found?

The Wonderful
Summary
“An unusual, bittersweet coming-of-age novel that’s also a fascinating mystery steeped in Cold War history...Sarginson’s novel movingly captures the private and at times painful evolution of a resilient and inventive protagonist.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) A sweeping and turbulent drama about the anxieties of postwar Britain, where one strong and inspirational young woman looks to find her place, no matter the cost. Sometimes, the truth lies in fiction.... It’s hard to be an American girl in 1957. Especially when your dad’s job means you have to move four thousand miles from home. Especially if you’d rather play baseball than wear a dress. Especially if you see your mom fraying a little more from anxiety each day. And especially if being five minutes older means you have to protect your fragile twin brother. Still, Hedy Delaney loves her family, and she’s trying to make the best of her new life on a US airbase in England. After all, her dad’s a war hero, her mother’s a beauty, and her brother’s a brainiac who writes moving stories about space travel. Then one tragic day, the unforeseen occurs and all three are ripped away, leaving Hedy alone with countless questions. What really happened on the airbase? What went on behind military closed doors? What were the secrets that could never be told? And how could any of it have led to her family’s destruction? In her search for the truth, Hedy turns to a story her brother began months before he died. Deciding to finish what her brother started, Hedy begins to piece together what happened to her family. But whether she’s ready for what she’ll discover is another matter entirely. A sweeping and turbulent family drama, The Wonderful asks whether writing fiction can uncover fact, and if it’s ever better to let the truth remain hidden. Sometimes, it’s safer not to finish what you’ve started.
