The Gossip Project
Confined to the clickbait trenches of failing online magazine, The Gossip Project, investigative journalist Spencer Caldwell is desperate for something more. Knowing she’s on borrowed time, she throws herself into a piece on the decades-old unsolved murder of an actress, convinced it will land her a position at the prestigious Herald newspaper.
While Spencer digs into the glamorous but sinister Golden Age of Hollywood, The Gossip Project gambles its uncertain future on a tell-all interview with Alex Reilly, a reformed rockstar who’s now famous for not doing interviews. He’s also the former love of Spencer’s life and her best friend’s older brother.
Still feeling the sting of scars from the past, Spencer must navigate the crossroads of love and ambition. With The Gossip Project hanging by a thread, will she follow her heart or finally put herself—and her career—first?
The Place We Were Made
For 26-year-old Kit Reilly, change is less like a holiday and more like a cruise on rough seas with a questionable seafood buffet. She’s a lover of spreadsheets, scopes out the menu online before dinner and if there’s nowhere to park, she isn’t going. Kit loves her stable life, but it’s turned on its head when her parents announce they are divorcing after forty years of marriage.
Kit struggles to cope with this new reality as her siblings take sides. This is only made worse when her parents put the family home up for sale and she stumbles upon the bucket list her and her twin, Bea, wrote as children. Bea has done everything; Kit has done nothing.
With the help of her childhood friend, Danny, who is also facing an uncertain future, she embarks on a series of new adventures. From performing on stage to eating a croissant in Paris, Kit learns she is capable of more than she thought possible. That is until she uncovers the secret that destroyed her parent’s marriage and just how much her family has kept from her.
As Kit navigates the complexities of family dynamics, changing relationships and growing up, she discovers that sometimes the only way to move forward is to let go.
Tell Me How It Ends
There is no ideal way to find out your father is dead. For Hallie Townsend, a thirty-second news bulletin would be at the bottom of the list. But what can you do when your dad is Ellery Yates, the world’s biggest fantasy writer?
A fantasy writer with a best-selling series that is currently unfinished.
Now, in her position as literary executor, Hallie discovers that Ellery’s world isn’t all perfect prose and epic battle sequences. With the pressure of appointing another author to finish the series and the expectations of a dedicated fandom, Hallie’s life has been turned on its head.
The obvious choice is the illustrious Mason Parrish, a fan favourite with impressive credentials, but when Fletcher Larson, Ellery’s tenacious and handsome young protégé gets involved, Hallie has a more difficult decision to make.
Can she finish her father’s story, or will the ending die with him?
