Peter Høeg

The woman is Madelene, rich, beautiful and alcoholic; the ape, intelligent and illegally imported to London by Madelene's husband Burden. Burden has plans, so does Madelene, and so, as it happens, does the ape. This most controversial of Høeg's novels takes us from Society London, across its roof-tops to a forest idyll, to make for a fable at once hilarious and thought-provoking.

The Woman And The Ape

Olivia Green

Molly Carter thought her biggest problem was keeping matcha out of her hair. 
 
This is, until Max Grant showed up across the street in Notting Hill with his smug grin and a glossy new café set on stealing her customers. 
 
She’s all heart, hand-drawn chalkboards, and community spirit. He’s big budgets, sharp suits, and a knack for winding her up. But from their first frothy face-off, the sparks (and hashtags) start flying. 
 
Soon #BrewBattleNottingHill is trending, locals are choosing sides, and Molly can’t decide what’s more dangerous: losing her café. . . or losing her heart. 
 
Lattes spill, tempers flare, and Portobello Road becomes the battleground for a very public rivalry. 
 
But there’s one question on everyone’s lips — will these enemies keep fighting, or finally give in to the chemistry brewing between them?

A Matcha Made in Heaven

K.A. Tucker

From the internationally bestselling author of The Simple Wild comes the story of a woman at a crossroads in her life, struggling between the safe route and the one that will only lead to more heartbreak. 
 
Veterinarian Marie Lehr knows unrequited love all too well after pining for her best friend, only to watch him marry another woman. It's a mistake she will never make again, especially not when she can practically hear the clock ticking on her childbearing years. 
 
The trouble is, she can't seem to find anyone who appeals to her even a fraction as much as that burly bush pilot did. Competitive musher Tyler Brady certainly doesn't, especially not after the heated altercation with the handsome but arrogant, spiteful man. 
 
Or so she thinks 
 
While volunteering at the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, Marie discovers that first impressions may have been false, and her attraction to Tyler is very real. But his heart belongs to someone else, leaving him with nothing to offer but friendship. Marie's been down this road before and knows how that ends. Yet, no matter how hard she works to keep from falling for Tyler, it seems she's doomed to follow her own trail once again.

Axes and O's

From the international bestselling author of The Simple Wild comes Forever Wild, a novella that continues the story of Calla's journey to the Alaskan wild and a life she never imagined for herself. 
 
The holiday season is upon Calla and Jonah, and with the mistletoe and gingerbread comes plenty of family drama. Jonah is bracing himself for two weeks with a stepfather he loathes, and while Calla is looking forward to her mother and Simon's arrival, she dreads the continued pressure to set a date for their wedding ... in Toronto. Add in one bullheaded neighbor's unintentional meddling and another cantankerous neighbor's own family strife, and Christmas in Trapper's Crossing will be anything but simple.

Forever Wild

'The Simple Wild was my favourite of [K.A. Tucker's] and I've read them all!' Colleen Hoover, New York Times bestselling author and #1 TikTok sensation 
 
 
Calla Fletcher was two when her mother moved them both from the Alaskan wild to Toronto, leaving their extreme, rural lifestyle - and Calla's father - behind. 
 
But when Calla receives a call from her father with unexpected news, she makes the long trip back to the remote town where she was born. 
 
There, she meets Jonah: a quiet, brooding, proud Alaskan pilot who is convinced that before long, he will be flying a pampered city girl back to where she belongs. And whilst he is probably right, Calla is determined to prove him wrong. 
 
As time passes, Calla forms an undeniable bond with the burly pilot. But Calla is not in Alaska to stay, and Jonah will never leave. 
 
It would be foolish of her to kindle a romance, to take the same path her parents tried - and failed at - years ago. 
 
It's a simple truth that turns out not to be so simple after all...

When Anjum takes in an abandoned baby, it is Tilo who claims the child as her own - and so begins a tale that will sweep across twenty years, crossing the cities and forests of a teeming continent . . .

Calla Fletcher returns to Toronto a different person, struggling to find direction and still very much in love with the rugged bush pilot she left behind. 
 
When he unexpectedly makes a proposition she can't dismiss, Calla rushes back to Alaska to begin her future with Jonah. But she soon learns that even the best intentions can lead to broken promises: Jonah is gone more than he's home, and Calla feels isolated in their rural log cabin with harsh conditions that stretch far beyond the cold, dark, winter months. 
 
It's not the life Calla imagined for herself - but is it a life Calla can learn to love? Or is she destined to follow in her mother's fleeing footsteps after all?

Three Summers

Jilly Cooper

If Emily hadn't gone to Annie Richmond's party, she would never have met the impossibly irresistible Rory Balniel; would never have married him and been carried off to the wild Scottish island of Irasa to live in his ancestral home along with his eccentric mother, Coco, and the dog, Walter Scott. 
 
She'd never have met the wild and mysterious Marina, a wraith from Rory's past, nor her brother, the disagreeable Finn Maclean; never have spent a night in a haunted highland castle, or been caught stealing roses in a see-through nightie... 
 
Yes, it all started at Annie Richmond's party.

Danny Wallace

A heartwarming everyday tale of boy stalks girl... 
 
My name is Jason – and I have just met the most incredible woman, on Charlotte Street. Well, I say 'met'. I sort of held her bags for a second. But she smiled at me! And it was this amazing smile. 
 
Of course, I don't know her name, or anything about her at all. But I do happen to have something of hers. She left behind one of those old-school disposable cameras. I’ve got it. It’s here in front of me. 
 
So there are two things I could now do: I could develop the photos. See her again, see her life. Maybe work out a way of finding her. Find that smile. Or I could chuck it in a bin like a grown-up. 
 
I’m fairly sure one of those ideas is a good one. I’m fairly sure the other might be illegal. Look, if you were me… what would you do? 
 
A heartwarming, laugh out loud novel perfect for fans of David Nicholls and Nicky Hornby from the bestselling author of Yes Man
