At the age of ten Nicole Singer watched her father leave and was then told she is adopted. Only one person could help put her life back together- Bernadette. Although Bernadette is strong and wilful, her methods are especially brutal when she singles out Nicole's least favourite person, Rebecca. Nicole and Rebecca have more in common than they know. Both women are fighting an internal battle of wills, whilst trying to piece together their broken histories. Their parents endeavoured to hide the truth, but all will be revealed. Nicole will realise her connection to Nottingham and Rebecca will learn the roots of her unethical capabilities, but will they discover their connection to each other? Set against modern Nottingham and delving into its past, these women of opposites strive to find their identities. Through a series of dramatic events and a blood-curdling climax, Betrayal in the Blood explores the frailty of life and the complexities of mental illness.

A man wakes up in a hotel room in Iran with amnesia. Inside the room is a briefcase full of money, a gun, a USB flash drive and a dead guy in the en-suite. Amnesia thrillers are nothing new. The protagonist discovers he's the hero, right? Well, what if you woke up to discover you were the most evil man on the planet?! Some memories are better forgotten...

What do you do when the State begins knocking at your door in the small hours of the night? How far do you go when your family goes missing? At what point do you acquire the disposition to kill? When the nameless son's mother disappears against a backdrop of governmental threats and violence in their homeland, the only way to get answers is to look outward. Snubbed by bankrolling multinationals and liaising with shady underground characters for clues, the father and son follow a lost path until a twist of fate opens up an opportunity, but not without a cost. Alone and returning to the dangers of the home State, the son endures a struggle for identity, courage, and ultimately, faith. The true extent of hopelessness and vengeance wreaked by dystrophic officers of the night are illustrated in this young boy's quest for his mother, and the necessity to kill to survive.

It's 1857, and the four teenage May sisters are enjoying an endless round of parties in the colonial town of Shivapur. When a violent rebellion breaks out, they take refuge in an isolated Indian village. Each changes in her own way as they adjust to a new culture, but they all begin to question England's right to rule India. As the rebellion ends, the sisters return home to take up the threads of their old life... with a difference. Soon they discover that their mother has matrimonial plans for them- plans they are determined to resist. Louise May Alcott meets Jane Austen in this hilarious blend of adventure, history, and, of course, romance.

Meet Annabella Stevens, a university student with a penchant for Kit Kat Chunkies. She wears Bridget Jones style granny pants and sometimes forgets to cut her toenails. She begins a relationship with Christopher Green, a man who despite never doing a stroke of work, runs a multi-million pound business. He eats with his mouth open, throws his pants on the floor, and as much as people would like to believe he has 'copper highlights' he's actually ginger. Oh, and he also likes to put women over his knee and spank them... In her hilarious literary debut, Camille Harding presents her own unique spin on Fifty Shades of Grey, bared to you in the real (albeit cynical and slightly vulgar) world where nostril hairs, crusty feet and wobbly bums are ever-present...
