Under a Summer SkyeSue Moorcroft
Lose yourself on the stunning Isle of Skye this summer with Sunday Times best-selling author Sue Moorcroft’s first book in the Skye Sisters trilogy.
A chance encounter is about to change everything for Thea Wynter – the moment she arrived on the Isle of Skye, life changed.
Running from a succession of wrong turns, she’s looking for blue sea, endless skies, mountains that make the heart soar – and peace.
Her days are spent working in the glorious clifftop garden at Rothach Hall as the head gardener, and her evenings in the cosy village pub. But an encounter with a stranger from the mainland brings an unexpected turn – even on Skye, life can catch up with you...
‘The perfect escapist read that will take you away from the real world and immerse you in its charm. Delightful’ – author Veronica Henry.
Motherhood, Identity, Love and F*ckery – Paloma Faith

In the pages of MILF, Paloma reaches new levels of raw honesty and characteristic humour than ever before, inviting you into her most personal life experiences.
Touching on experiences most of us can relate to – from struggles with IVF, the challenges of motherhood and the invisible load women carry every day – you can get to know the star behind some of your favourite songs.
But in amongst all the heartbreak, chaos and stress of day-to-day life, Paloma invites you to reflect on your life so far, too.
And you never know – you might come away from the pages with a brand-new perspective, inspired by Paloma’s beautifully written celebration of the female experience.
