Every Version of You (2026)
Natalie Messier
"Be prepared for this debut to make you feel all the feels. It will have you gasping at the surprise places the plot takes you and hugging the book to your chest. A gorgeous, warm, sweeping romance wrapped up in such a clever, tightly plotted story that will have you open-mouthed and yearning for everyone's happy ending. I loved loved loved this special, clever, warm-hearted book and cannot wait for what Natalie writes next."

The Shock of the Light (2026)
Lori Inglis Hall
"A beautiful, clever debut, heart wrenching and totally immersive. A special twist on an era we think we know so well - highlighting some lesser-known and devastating moments. Impeccably researched, the very best example of historical fiction. Quietly devastating and so moving - I was completely absorbed."

The Names (2025)
Florence Knapp
"The Names made me fall in love and broke my heart three times over. Gorgeous, hopeful and fascinating, it's a wonderful read that made me reflect on all the small decisions we make and the ripple effects they create. A stunning debut."
