Bane
£9.99Bane
Last Jesse heard, Roman ‘Bane’ Protsenko, naked surfer and habitual pothead, was extorting the rich and screwing their wives for a living. Which is why she’s surprised to find him at her door, looking for her friendship, her services, and most puzzling of all, looking humbled. Her scarred heart calls to his, but Jesse is on a boycott. Literally. After all she’s been through, she’s cut boys from her life permanently. The problem is, Bane is not a boy. He’s all man, and she’s falling, crashing, drowning in his sweet, perfect lies. Because to Bane, Jesse Carter – hot as hell, cold as ice – is just a means to an end. He made a deal with her oil tycoon stepfather, and she’s collateral, a plaything for him to kill some time with on his path to power. She might be one tough nut to crack, but Bane has the teeth for it. That is, until he finds that inside her damaged shell, Jesse has claws, too.

Fourth wing
£10.99Fourth wing
Welcome to the brutal and elite world of Basgiath War College, where everyone has an agenda, and every night could be your last. Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general – also known as her tough-as-talons mother – has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away – because dragons don’t bond to ‘fragile’ humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter – like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.
