Christian Montgomery has made the family business his entire world, working himself to complete burnout just to live up to his judgemental father’s expectations. His only escape comes from gazing at the beach, watching surfers ride the waves without a care in the world and wishing he could be like them, even if just for a moment. When Sophie Bennington discovers that everything she thought she knew about her life is a lie, she backs her bags and sets off for greener pastures, ready to put her small Kansas town and everything it holds behind her. California is the fresh start she needs and she quickly learns to embrace her new life, even if it’s not exactly as she thought it would be. The one thing she didn’t see coming: the stranger she meets on the beach who gives her the courage to go after her dreams. They were never supposed to see each other again, but when Sophie comes to Christian’s rescue, an unexpected friendship is born. But Christian wants more than friendship where Sophie is concerned. But first he’ll have to show that he’s someone she can trust. All books in the Montgomery Brothers series can be read as standalones. **Previously published in 2019**

She was unmarried, untouched and almost thirty, but novelist Amanda Briars wasn′t about to greet her next birthday without making love to a man.

Unforgettably handsome, irresistibly virile, he tempted her in ways she never thought possible...but something stopped him from completely fulfilling her dream. Jack Delvin′s determination to possess Amanda became greater when she discovered his true identity. But gently-bred Amanda craved respectability more than she admitted, while Jack, the cast-off son of a nobleman and London′s most notorious businessman, refused to live by society′s rules.

Fantastic Night is the story of one transforming evening in the life of a rich and bored young man. He spends a day at the races and an evening in the seedy but thrilling company of the dregs of society. His experiences jolt him out of his languor and give him a newfound relish for life, which is then cut short by the Great War. The Invisible Collection and Buchmendel, two of Zweig's most powerful works, explore lives led in the single minded pursuit of art and literature against a backdrop of poverty and corruption. Letter from an Unknown Woman is a poignant and heartbreaking tale of the strength and madness of unrequited love. This story was made into a film by Max Ophuls starring Joan Fontaine (1948). In The Fowler Snared, it is the man whose passion remains unrequited. Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman is the story of a middle-aged English widow who travels to escape loneliness and boredom. One evening while enjoying the elegant atmosphere of the Monte Carlo Casino, she becomes mesmerised by the obsessive gambling of a young Polish aristocrat. This fateful encounter leads to passion, despair and death, changing their lives forever. Translated from the German by Eden and Cedar Paul, Stefan Zweig's Selected Stories is published by Pushkin Press.

'Dear Enemy', by Jean Webster, is a novel the events of which are related in the form of letters by the heroine. A formal introduction, indeed, to one of the most intimate, realistic and thoroughly enjoyable pieces of fiction ever! How a charming young woman, all depths and tenderness under her somewhat frivolous exterior, accepts the superintendency of an orphan asylum, and with it the charge of some hundred and thirteen sadly neglected orphans, is merely the beginning of this altogether whimsical, joyful tale. How she transforms the dreadful interior of the New York orphanage; what she does for the youngsters who don't even know how to play; how she becomes engaged to the wrong man; how she storms the inward citadel of the smileless Scotch doctor, are all told in inimitable letters to which are attached many deliciously funny caricature pen sketches by the author. To those who have read Jean Webster's previous story "Daddy Long-Legs", this romance cannot but increase the enthusiasm for the popularity of its author.
