Sarra Manning

Until her sister Celia points out that if Neve wants William to think she's an experienced love-goddess and not the fumbling, awkward girl he left behind, then she'd better get some, well, experience. What Neve needs is someone to show her the ropes, someone like Celia's colleague Max.

Seventeen-year-old Molly's band was always just about being a girl - singing Hello Kitty Speedboat and pretending to play instruments with her best mates Jane and Tara. But then the arrogant Dean and his sidekickT hijack the band and suddenly the fluffy girl band becomes The Hormones - a real band with a record deal - and they're heading for the big time. Molly slips further and further away from her old life and straight into a tangled love-hate relationship with Dean. Then there are the constant parties, the drugs and the phonies who pretend to like you when they don't...Molly is living her dream, and she's never felt lonelier in her life. But has she got the strength to walk away from the band, and start again?

'Sexy, sizzling hot perfection' CRESSIDA McLAUGHLIN What if you could date your favourite book boyfriend? "All loans are at the borrower's own risk..." After a series of dating disasters, Tess Hardy wonders if she'll ever find the man of her dreams - or if he only exists on the pages of her favourite novels. So when she's invited to visit The Love Library, a 200-hundred-year-old institution which promises dates with her favourite romantic heroes in real life, Tess can't resist! But handsome head librarian Gabe Sharma seems grumpily determined to keep the library under lock and key. And as soon as Tess steps into the beautiful building crammed full of books, she realises why - it's not just dust in the air... it's magic. Here she really can grab drinks with Heathcliff, dine with Rochester and cosy up to her one true literary love, Darcy. There's just one problem: Gabe. He's determined to sabotage all of Tess's dates! And why is it that she has more fun fighting with Gabe than flirting with any of her book-bound suitors...? Heartwarming, hot and hilarious, The Love Library is a must-read for anyone who wishes they could step into the pages of their favourite book. Perfect for fans of Ashley Poston, Lucy Jane Wood and Kirsty Greenwood. **Praise for Sarra Manning** 'Romantic, funny, sweet and sexy' MARIAN KEYES 'A very swoony, sexy, warm read' CESCA MAJOR 'Emotional and profound and so so hot' SOPHIE IRWIN 'Funny and sexy and rips along' FREYA NORTH 'Sexy, bittersweet and romantic' LINDSEY KELK 'Funny and filled with emotion' BETH O'LEARY

Past and present collide in this exquisite new love story from the much-loved Sarra Manning

'Fast and funny and happy-making' Lisa Williamson, author of THE ART OF BEING NORMALTwelve hours, two boys, one girl . . . and a whole lot of hairspray.Seventeen-year-old Sunny's always been a little bit of a pushover. But when she's sent a picture of her boyfriend kissing another girl, she knows she's got to act. What follows is a mad, twelve-hour dash around London - starting at 8pm in Crystal Palace (so far away from civilisation you can't even get the Tube there) then sweeping through Camden, Shoreditch, Soho, Kensington, Notting Hill . . . and ending up at 8am in Alexandra Palace.Along the way Sunny meets a whole host of characters she never dreamed she'd have anything in common with - least of all the devilishly handsome (and somewhat vain) French 'twins' (they're really cousins) Jean Luc and Vic. But as this love-letter to London shows, a city is only a sum of its parts, and really it's the people living there who make up its life and soul. And, as Sunny discovers, everyone - from friends, apparent-enemies, famous bands and even rickshaw drivers - is willing to help a girl on a mission to get her romantic retribution.A fast-paced, darkly funny love letter to London, boys with big hair and the joys of staying up all night.

'Deeply satisfying and impossible to put down' Santa MontefioreAfter the Last Dance is an extraordinary story of two women, separated by time but connected by fate, that will make you believe in the redemptive power of unexpected love.
