  • A BRUSH WITH LOVE by Mazey Eddings, read by Emily Lawrence & Vikas Adam - audiobook extract
    The new TikTok-hit rom-com. Adored The Love Hypothesis? You won't want to miss A Brush with Love, the most sparkling rom-com of the year.
    Anxiously awaiting news from the residency program of her dreams, dental student Harper Horowitz is laser focused. So crashing (quite literally) into Dan Craige is exactly the sort of dreamy distraction that she is trying to avoid.
    First-year student Dan may not have the same passion for pulling teeth that Harper does, but he's instantly smitten. When Harper makes it clear that she's not interested in trading fillings for feelings anytime soon, they set out to be 'just friends' - a plan with the best of intentions and the poorest of follow-throughs.
    Late nights in the dental lab (and the rather unsubtle match-making efforts of their friends) draw Dan and Harper closer. Still, Harper can't shake the worry that a romance with Dan might risk everything she's worked so hard to build.
    Harper may have no trouble acing her studies, but falling in love is a whole new challenge.
    Nine out of 10 dentists agree, A Brush with Love makes your smile brighter!*

  • NIGHT OF THE ACCIDENT by Heather Chavez, read by Andi Arndt & Sophie Amoss - audiobook extract
    This twisty new thriller from the author of No Bad Deed is perfect for fans of Lisa Gardner and Harlan Coben. Heather Chavez's Night of the Accident asks how far you would go to protect someone that you love, but have never been able to trust.
    She was just a nosy woman who had spotted my licence plate and then reported it to the police....
    She didn't think I was a killer. There was no way she could've known about that.
    A young girl is missing - last seen being pulled into a white car matching Frankie Barrera's registration plate. As it happened, Frankie was asleep at home with her son.
    The only other person with the keys is Frankie's sister, Izzy. This isn't the first time Frankie's loyalty to Izzy has been tested: five years ago a frantic phone call led Frankie to the scene of a car accident - and a drunk and disorientated Izzy who couldn't remember a thing. Though Izzy and five friends partied that night, one girl was never seen again.
    As the events of the past force the past to resurface, is either sister ready to confront what really happened that night?

  • PERISIANS written and read by Lloyd Llwellyn-Jones - audiobook extract
    Persians is a definitive new history of the Persian Empire, the world's first superpower.
    The great kings of Persia ruled over the largest empire of antiquity, stretching from Libya to the steppes of Asia, and from Ethiopia to Pakistan. At the heart of the empire was the fabled palace-city of Persepolis, where the Achaemenid monarchs held court in unparalleled grandeur. From here, Cyrus the Great, Darius, Xerxes and their heirs passed laws, raised armies and governed their multicultural empire of enormous diversity.
    The Achaemenids, however, were one of the great dysfunctional families of history. Brothers fought brothers for power, wives and concubines plotted to promote their sons to the throne and eunuchs and courtiers vied for influence and prestige.
    Our understanding of the Persian Empire has traditionally come from the histories of Greek writers such as Herodotus - and as such, over many centuries, our perspective has been skewed by ancient political and cultural agendas. Professor Llewellyn-Jones, however, calls upon original Achaemenid sources, including inscriptions, art and recent archaeological discoveries in Iran, to create an authentic 'Persian Version' of this remarkable first great empire of antiquity - the Age of the Great Kings.
