The Twelve Days of Christmas (2025)
Susan Stokes-Chapman
"A glorious treat...uplifting, poignant and astutely observed, this felt like being whirled away into a Regency ball."
thumb
No Women Were Harmed (2025)
Heather Mottershead
"A fabulous Sarah Waters meets Promising Young Woman slice of Victoriana about madness and murderousness with the most glorious of unreliable narrators. Absolutely loved it - so gripping, so unpredictable, and Lily is a character for the ages, unapologetically devious and sly, but still a(n anti) heroine readers will be rooting for. I'll be recommending this one to many people!"

Spellbound (2025)
Georgia Leighton
"Captivating . . . immersive, magical, and of course, spellbinding!"
