A road trip across America with her teenage daughter was meant to be much-needed bonding time for Simone before Lucy leaves home for university.
But on the first night of their stay, in a cabin deep in the Texan desert, Simone wakes to find Lucy missing and a mobile phone in her place. The phone rings and the voice on the other end issues instructions: Don’t tell the police. Come to this location. Be prepared to do a deal…
There is nothing Simone wouldn’t do to save her daughter. Hide the truth. Commit a terrible crime. Become a wanted woman.
But there’s one thing Simone hasn’t considered.
What if this is just what the kidnappers want?

Frankie and George have one week in paradise to fix their friendship or fall apart...
They’ve been best friends for as long as they can remember. Too much alike – passionate, impulsive, and headstrong – they’ve always clashed . . . and come back together. Until their last tumultuous fight.
When George walks in on the eve of her wedding, Frankie has everything she’s ever wanted. Until the next morning, when Frankie’s fiancé dumps her, without explanation.
Heartbroken, Frankie wants to wallow, but George has a different idea: he wants Frankie to go on her honeymoon. With him. For one week, to the lush rainforest and misty beaches of Tofino.
Frankie sees this for what it really is: one last chance to repair their friendship even if it means unearthing secrets neither knows how to handle. Even if it means coming together, or falling apart, for good.

A GOOD HOUSEKEEPING MOST ANTICIPATED NOVEL OF 2026
One bright blue day, on a bench by the river, Nora’s partner Robin proposes.
It is unexpected; they’d always agreed that they didn’t need a wedding. But after a decade of in-jokes, dancing in the low-lit kitchen and sharing morning toast in bed, Nora says yes. Why wouldn’t she?
The answer lands on the night of their engagement party, when Bren turns up on her doorstep.
Growing up, Bren and Nora were the sort of best friends who everyone swore would end up together. But when a sudden heartbreak turned their lives upside down, Bren left, Nora stayed, and the silent longing between them remained unspoken.
Now, he’s back, and their tentative yet undeniable spark reignites, forcing Nora to ask herself:
How can you know your heart, if it feels like it’s split in two?
Tender and compelling, People in Love is a story about what-ifs and maybes, and the moments of misunderstanding that can shape our lives. It’s a book about living one life while musing on another, exploring how our choices shape our relationships and inform our regrets, and revealing, in the end, that the real love story is not always the one you'd expect.
