Sophie Andrews

The shocking story of how exceptionally violent abuse turned one girl to desperate self-harm before turning her life around. Growing up, Sophie carried a terrible secret. She was her father's slave, in the most horrific ways imaginable. At just a few months old she was adopted by a couple that seemed comfortably well off and perfectly respectable to the outside world. But behind closed doors, Sophie's childhood was a living hell. Her father spent the next decade grooming her for abuse and when Sophie's mother left for good, that very night, he told Sophie that from now on she would sleep in his bed. Unable to cope, Sophie spiraled into suicidal misery. She began to self-harm to try and escape the agony. But one day she went too far and at 16, ended up in a psychiatric unit. It was here that she finally confronted the horrors of home and began the painful journey of rebuilding her life. A phenomenally courageous woman, Sophie now works for the Samaritans and helps other young people in need. Harrowing yet compelling, this is a searing and truly inspirational account of overcoming the worst abuse and self-harm.

She was a slave to her father. Pain was her only escape.

Scarred

Crying women are my kryptonite. Which is why I ditch my friends to check on the dark-haired woman in the corner of the bar. And the moment she hits me with those glassy doe eyes, I'm done for. Just one incredible night together, and I know Maggie Levandoski is it for me. But due to some bad luck when my cell phone goes missing and really bad timing with a family tragedy, I lose her contact information. After weeks of searching for my real life Cinderella, I find her again in the middle of a busy New York street. Only to discover she believes I ghosted her for two months, and she's moving away. Because she's pregnant. This special edition includes a discreet cover and bonus epilogue! With my baby.

Tangled Expectations

Gemma Turney is a walking contradiction. A short-tempered, foul-mouthed vegan yogi and environmentalist with a tongue sharp enough to bring a lesser man to his knees. Fortunately, I am not one of those men. When we're thrown together for a wedding, she does everything she can to get under my skin. Which works, just not in the way she's hoping. She's a thorn in my side that I have no interest in removing. So it's no surprise that one minute we're nose to nose in an argument, and the next I have her pinned against the wall. Because keeping her mouth busy is the only way my girl is ever quiet.
