“You never answered, you know.”
“Never answered what?”
“If you would.”
She smiled against his chest and dug his welding gloves out of her pocket, placing them gently in his hand. “William.”
“Huh?”
“Whenever we have him. That’s his name.”
“William? William Taggart.” He kissed the top of her head. “I guess that’s okay.”
“Go to sleep, Peirce.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
And they both slept with no nightmares.

Red Moon
by M.A. Grant
Dark, moving and original, a story of family, survival, and getting on with life...
Flynn Sinclair understands pack loyalty — for years as his Alpha father’s enforcer, he has done things in the name of duty that he can’t ever forget. But the vast space of Alaska offers him a peace he’s never known. Alone, removed from pack life, he can focus on his research and try and forget his life before.
But duty has a way of inviting itself in, and Flynn finds himself doing two reckless things in one week: leaving the safety of Alaska to save his brother Connor’s life, and unwittingly falling in love with Evie Thompson, a woman who doesn’t deserve to be drawn into his terrifying world.
Connor carries news of their father’s descent into madness, and it looks like neither geography nor Flynn’s attempts at disengagement will put off a confrontation. Flynn had finally begun to believe that he might deserve something good in his life — something like Evie — but to move forward in the light, he must first reconcile with the dark.

But Zane is determined to make it work, and invites Molly to take a step into his world. But Molly isn’t ready for the spotlights and attention — she loves her town, its quirks, its characters. Opposites attract, but can two such different people find both a woylie and forever?

A World Apart
by Peter McAra
A sweeping Australian historical saga that crosses oceans to prove love conquers all…
April, 1820. As children, they shared a schoolroom, but no education can remove the stain of being peasant-born. So when Eliza Downing begins to blossom into womanhood and the future Viscount de Havilland notices, his family steps in to intervene.
Once full of possibilities, Eliza’s life spirals into shame and degradation, culminating finally in a false conviction and transport to Botany Bay. Through shipwreck, exile, secrets, and scandals, Eliza holds fast to the belief that Harry will come for her — but he doesn’t come soon enough, and Eliza must learn to recognise her own value and become the heroine of her own story.
