O`Flanagan Sheila Far From Over
Gemma Garvey's marriage has been over for ages. Gemma ended it and chose to be a single mother rather than continue the pretence that her marriage to work-obsessed David Hennessy was working. So why is she so upset when he marries bimbo Orla O'Neill? Is it that Orla's thin and gorgeous whilst Gemma, at thirty-five, feels more like fifty-five? Or that David's starting a new life whilst she's facing middle age alone? For Orla, being wife no. 2 isn't all she's imagined, always aware of how Gemma coped with a house, family and job while she can't even cook dinner without setting the kitchen alight. To David, who has loved them both, there isn't a problem. But actually the trouble's just begun...

McDowell Kara This Might Get Awkward
Seventeen-year-old Gemma's favorite kind of beach is an empty one. Social interactions are too much for her to handle, and while she wishes she had more friends, she'd rather observe people from afar than risk embarrassing herself during a face-to-face interaction. She always says the wrong thing - if she even manages to say anything at all. The few times her longtime crush, Beau Booker, spoke to her, she went completely mute. During a solo outing to her favorite beach, Gemma realizes, to her horror, that the popular kids from school have suddenly shown up to throw a party. Before she can sneak away (and possibly puke behind her car) Gemma is pulled into the action and ends up talking to Beau . . . who asks her to "pretend to be his girlfriend." Gemma is too flustered and flattered to refuse, and spends a glorious afternoon boating with Beau . . . until he falls off the boat, hits his head, and almost drowns. Gemma pulls him out of the water and gives him CPR. At the hospital, Gemma whispers to herself that she's in love with Beau and is overheard by a nurse who mistakes Gemma for Beau's girlfriend and introduces her to his family as such. Beau's Mom is thrilled to find out that Beau had a girlfriend, and Gemma becomes so overwhelmed and anxious and can't bring herself to tell them the truth. The more time Gemma spends with the Bookers, the more she falls in love with the entire family (although it seems that Beau's sister suspects the truth). Then, Beau wakes up, but since he has short term memory loss, he has no trouble believing that Gemma IS his girlfriend. For the first time in her life, Gemma has everything she's ever wanted. But how can she embrace her new dream life when everything is built on a lie?

Gemin G. R. Cowgirl
Growing up on the embattled Mawr Estate in South Wales, all Gemma sees are burglaries, muggings, sadness and boredom. With a dad in prison and a mum who has given up hope, she, like everyone around her, is holding on to memories of the times when happiness wasn’t so hard to find. When her search for the scene of a perfect childhood day takes her up into the surrounding hills, Gemma is forced into a meeting with the legendary Cowgirl. Everyone at school knows she’s a weirdo: six foot tall and angry, the only conversations she has are with the twelve cows on her dad’s farm. But with her abrupt arrival in Gemma’s life, everything starts to look different. And with her only friends in mortal danger of the abattoir, it turns out she and Gemma have a mission on their hands. A gently funny story of a community coming together, this is a tale of happy endings in unexpected places. Cover illustration by Tom Clohosy Cole.

Dickens Charles Our Mutual Friend
As the boat moved silently over the water, the thing at the end of the rope always followed. Sometimes it came near the boat and sometimes it pulled away like something alive. As it moved through the water, changes seemed to pass over the dead man's face. For the thing that followed at the end of the rope was the body of a drowned man. At the inquest the dead man was identified as Mr. John Harmon, who had recently returned from abroad. John Harmon had not been drowned, but murdered. But how had he died and who had killed him?

Seymour Gerald The Crocodile Hunter
Jonas Merrick. At MI5 they call him 'the eternal flame', because he never goes out. Never goes undercover, or on surveillance, or kicking down doors. If he's studying a map, he's probably planning his caravan holiday.

A young man from a broken background, trained as a Jihadi in the harshest theatre of war. Coming ashore near Dover, he plans to live unnoticed, before unleashing a terrifying strike. And this time, Jonas Merrick must go out - to hunt the crocodile himself.
