Almost
Dead
By
Kaz Delaney
A glitzy
whodunit set amongst the Gold Coast elite and a hilarious romance between Macey
Pentecost, the privileged teenager with a social conscience who just happens to
see ghosts, and the good-looking surf champion Finn.Macey's life has been turned upside down. Her mother has left, her father is absent and her two best friends (her brother Seth and his girlfriend Willow) are MIA. On top of that Macey is being visited by ghosts who need her help to 'move on'. But as wild as all that sounds, it's all under Macey's control until a rakish, good-looking spirit called Nick turns up ... in her bedroom!
Nick's a spirit with spirit who insists he's not dead, he's astral travelling and has a message for Macey: someone is out to get her. Macey's biting wit has got her in trouble before, so she's not surprised but when the threatening notes start turning up, she's seriously shaken. Does someone want her dead?
It's all rather disturbing but she's finding it hard to focus on who could mean her harm with the annoyingly handsome surf god Finn turning up at the most inopportune times and a father with a rather large surprise of his own.
Is it a case of bad timing? Or are these things somehow connected? And if they are, what on earth should she wear when she's solving the mystery?
This
is Now
A gritty, urban New Adult Cinderella story
where the princess can do her own rescuing — she just needs someone to believe
in her.
Sister to car thieves, ex-girlfriend to a drug
dealer, high school dropout, no-hoper and loser — Jess is on the sidelines,
watching her life become one epic fail. Her dreams of university are fading
fast, as the people in her life fight to confine her to their own expectations.
Then she meets Sebastien, a gifted cellist from a
very different walk of life. Sebastien is clean and strong and talented. He
likes and respects her, but he too has expectations. Sebastien seems to think
she can do anything, and Jess, despite her fears and the secrets she hides, is
starting to believe him.
But just as Jess dares to hope, the secrets in her
past and the lies in her present catch up with her. All seems lost and she has
to make a choice. Between past and future. Between home and hope. Between now
and never. And this is now.

This isn't your mum's Bewitched...
Elena Denholm is a mild-mannered half witch. As a
favour to her cousin, she agrees to meet with top Sydney lawyer, Jake Royston,

take a sip of wine, let alone explore where the sizzle might go, Jake is hit by
a love spell and is helpless against his feelings for Elena.
Jake may be at her mercy, but Elena is keeping her
hands off — exploiting humans is a no-no. But Jake’s good looks and powers of
persuasion are breaking down her resolve, and Elena knows she must do something
fast.
Desperate to set things right before her resolve
crumbles, Elena begins a frantic search to find the witch or warlock who hexed
Jake and return him to his right mind, even if it means breaking her own
heart...

Winter of Magic

Ebony McKenna
This third
enthralling instalment in the young adult fantasy romance series takes a dark
turn, as the country of Brugel descends into anarchy.
Mutating magic is spreading across Europe. 'Normals' are developing supernatural powers at a startling rate and 16-year-old Ondine appears to be at the heart of it.

There, she tempts Ondine with an intriguing offer - but can Mrs Howser be trusted? It transpires the powerful witch has her claws in the arrogant royal heir Lord Vincent, in a covert bid to control all of Brugel.

underwater world, nothing is as it seems...
For the past twelve months since her parents’ death, seventeen-year-old Miranda Sun has harboured a dark secret — a secret that has strained the close relationship she once shared with her older sister, Lauren. In an effort to repair this broken bond, Miranda’s grandparents whisk the siblings away on a secluded beach holiday. Except before Miranda gets a chance to confess her life-changing secret, she’s dragged underwater by a mysterious stranger while taking a midnight swim.
Awakening days later, Miranda discovers that she’s being held captive in a glittering underwater city by an arrogant young man named Marko...the King of this underwater civilisation.
Nineteen-year-old Marko intends to marry Miranda in order to keep his crown from falling into the sinister clutches of his half-brother, Damir. There’s only one problem. Miranda is desperate to return home to right things with her sister and she wants nothing to do with Marko. Trying to secure her freedom, Miranda quickly forms an alliance with Robbie — Marko’s personal guard. However, she soon discovers that even underwater, people are hiding dangerous secrets...

What
Goes on Tour
By
Claire Boston
What goes on tour, stays on tour …
or does it?
Few people know that socially awkward Adrian Hart is actually rock god Kent Downer, and that's the way Adrian likes it. His privacy is essential, especially now that he has guardianship of his orphaned, ten-year-old niece, Kate. But when the nanny quits in the middle of his tour Adrian finds himself in a bind.
Until Libby Myles walks into his life.
Libby has only ever wanted to become a full-time author and prove to her parents that she can make it on her own. On the surface, the temporary job as the nanny for Kent Downer's niece looks perfect—the pay is fabulous, the hours are short and Kate is a big fan—it's the rock star that's the issue.
Arrogant and way too attractive for anyone's good, Kent Downer has enough swagger to power a small city. But when he's out of costume he's different—shy and uncertain. For Libby it's a far harder combination to resist. She needs to find a balance between work, writing and ignoring her attraction to the rock star, because if she falls for him, it could mean the end of her dream.
But when a horrible scandal is unleashed—putting young Kate in danger—there's more heat between Libby and Adrian than just sexual attraction. Libby must figure out if Adrian ever cared for her, or if it was all just part of the show …

A Tale of Two Sisters
By Vonnie Hughes
Sometimes
blackmail has unexpected consequences.
When the two Crichton sisters are invited to a country house party by Sir Giles Everard, the only drawback is the threat of blackmail hanging over their heads. And their Papa can complain all he likes, but his matchmaking schemes are about to go hopelessly awry because there’s another contender waiting in the wings. Nothing is what it seems.

Someone Like You
By Victoria Purman
When Lizzie Blake
knocks on the door of Dan McSwaine’s beach house at Middle Point, she barely
recognises the man who answers. Whatever happened to the guy who swaggered into
her home town with a grin and left with her heart in his back pocket? Lizzie
wonders if he’ll ever be that man again — and if she should risk everything
she’s built her life on to help him.
Dan can’t normally bear to be more than ten minutes from a hip bar, an imported beer and a group of hot women. So what is he doing holed up in a falling down beach shack at Middle Point? All he knows is that he’s made some crazy decisions since the night a truck slammed into his car and almost killed him. The first one was to think that buying a crumbling piece of coastal real estate was a good idea. The second crazy decision was to try to hide away from the world when a woman like Lizzie Blake is determined to drag him right back into it…
