Emmie and the Tudor King

Jenny Fyfe

Flynn Hudson's best friend Blake is about to get married... and Flynn is in love with the bride. He'd do anything to change it, but Ruby Quinn has been his dream girl since high school, and his stubborn heart refuses to let go. It gets worse. Flynn is pretty sure Ruby hates him, and for good reason. When she wouldn't give him the time of day back in school, he started teasing her in a pathetic attempt to get her attention. Yep. He was a real prize. But he was a lovesick teenager, and he's honestly changed-minus the lovesick part.When Ruby got together with Blake, Flynn was so cut up that he took off after graduation to enroll in flight school. It hurt so bad that he didn't set foot back in town-not even once. Until now, eight years later. Because Ruby and Blake are finally tying the knot. And Flynn is the best man. *** In one week, Ruby Quinn is marrying her high school sweetheart, Blake. Unfortunately, Blake's best man happens to be the guy who used to pick on her back in school. A guy who left their small town of Still Springs right after graduation and never came back. Like he was too good for this place and everyone in it. A guy named Flynn Hudson. After all these years, Flynn has returned, and Ruby would love to say he's still the same cocky jerk she remembers, but he's different. Grown up. Showing her sides of himself that she never dreamed existed. (Okay, maybe she had dreamed them, but only when she'd had too many glasses of chardonnay.)It shouldn't matter to her now. But it does.Because being around Flynn makes her second-guess every choice she's made. Is she getting married because she wants to or because that's what is expected? Is this all a big mistake?Is Blake really the best man for her?

Hating the Best Man

In the vein of Emily Henry's You and Me On Vacation, Love, Just In is a friends-to-lovers romance with just enough spice to heat up the summer. Sydney TV news reporter Josie Larsen is approaching thirty and coming dangerously close to failing at life. Lost in a vortex of other people's career milestones, engagement parties and baby showers, Josie is perennially single, abandoned by her globetrotting family, and invisible to her boss - except for the one time he tuned in while she was mid-panic-attack on live TV. As punishment, Josie is shipped off to cover another reporter's six-month leave at a regional bureau in Newcastle. But Josie has more waiting for her in Newcastle than yawn-inducing stories about bicycle lane protests. The city is also the domain of Zac Jameson – her best friend since high school. This should be a happy turn of events, but Zac has barely spoken to Josie for the past two years. Not since a tragic event caused him to leave Sydney to try and cope with his grief. Now thrown back into each other's lives, Josie and Zac have to navigate their neglected friendship and secret attraction to each other while struggling with their careers and mental health. Hilarious, sexy and heartwarming, this is the perfect romcom to sit on the shelves alongside Emily Henry, Sally Thorne and Ali Hazelwood.

Loving the Worst Man

Robert Casserly

In my practice as a Health Coach I've come across many people who do not know how to cook, people who like tocook but don't know what to cook and so many variations in between.My journey with cooking was not formal. Writing this has taken me through memories that have shaped my lovefor preparing meals. My first memory of cooking was in my kindergarten class where the teacher taught us how tomake scrambled eggs and sausages in an electric frying pan. That smell of sizzling meat and the sight of those fluffyeggs is forever embedded in my mind. It was the first time I equated cooking with a sense of true enjoyment.My first experience baking in a real kitchen involved a friend, lots of laughter and a fair amount of mess when Iwas 11. I also had to take Food and Nutrition as a subject in high school. I'm not sure how much of an influence thathad on me, but I'm sure it developed some level of comfort in the kitchen. While at university I lived in anapartment-style dorm. One of my flat mates taught me how to make a stir-fry. That's when my journey in thekitchen really began to gather steam.I have only taken two formal cooking classes in my entire life. The first was with a vegetarian friend. I was notvegetarian but I thought it might be interesting and informative. Most recently I took a 2 hour class with aprofessional Chef who taught "knife skills". That was amazing! I was such a glad bag, I was grinning the entiretime. I was also surprised to discover that I already knew many of the skills he was teaching--he just showed me abetter way to do them. He also taught me about knives: how to care, handle and hold them correctly. It was sucha great investment.So without formal training, I'd call myself an 'experimenter' in the kitchen. I take inspiration from what is aroundme and what I enjoy eating. I love to read cookbooks, recipes online and on social media, then put my own spin onthem. I also enjoy creating a recipe from scratch.I believe we (as a society) have strayed from the kitchen due to our busy lives but the kitchen is one of the mostimportant rooms in the house! We cook to provide nourishment for our loved ones. Through this cookbook we seekto inspire you to get into the kitchen (for a short time), to make real (easy to cook) food and to enjoy the process aswell as the outcome.So this really is from our kitchen to yours.Along the way we ask you some very pointed questions; please pause and reflect before writing your answersdown. There is power in writing. Let's harness this power to make some gradual positive changes in your life.-Natalie
