Nothing says Merry Christmas like fake fiancés, family pressure, and accidentally falling for your ex's brother.Nolan never met a spotlight he didn't like. As a major league baseball player with a filthy mouth, an ego the size of the North Pole, and zero interest in behaving, he's perfectly happy breezing into Christmas in Kringletown like the charming disaster everyone expects him to be.Taran, on the other hand, has made an art form out of keeping the peace. She's polished, careful, and so committed to making everyone else happy that she's somehow agreed to a fake wedding with her ex just to keep her family's holiday from imploding.There's only one problem: the ex in question is Nolan's brother, and Nolan sees right through her. He knows Taran deserves better than pretending her way through life.And he'd really like 'better' to be him.Now Taran is juggling family expectations, holiday chaos, and a man who is far too cocky, far too funny, and far too determined to bulldoze every wall she's ever built.But with Christmas closing in, secrets snowballing, and one very fake engagement threatening to blow up in spectacular fashion, this holiday season is about to get messy. And someone's sure to end up on the naughty list.🎄 TROPES:Opposites attractSmall townForced proximityFake engagement Ex-boyfriend's brotherA lot of spice 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️But also expect...Toys (not from Santa)A raunchy family game night'Tell me to stop'Secret dates in his RVAnd spicy use of eggnog...READERS ARE OBSESSED WITH MEGHAN QUINN'S BOOKS...'Outrageously laugh-out-loud funny' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'The way I completely obsessed about this book was not okay!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'Perfect combination of sweet, sassy, funny and spicy' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'The banter was top tier!

'There's a body in Lost Nation.' But the line goes dead before Chief Inspector Armand Gamache can question the caller.The head of homicide for the Sûreté du Québec has no idea where Lost Nation is, or who woke him in the small hours of the morning at his home in Three Pines. What he does know is that the man was terrified.When he and his team of Jean-Guy Beauvoir and Isabelle Lacoste find both place and body, the situation only grows more bizarre. The unidentified dead man appears to be from an era more than a century old. He's lying in a long-abandoned cemetery, on top of a grave with a date, but no name. Adding to the mystery, the early morning call appears to have come from Gamache's friend and neighbour, Clara Morrow. While she denies any knowledge of it, it becomes clear there is some connection between her, the Morrow family, and Lost Nation.Soon, Gamache and his team are faced with tracking down not just the legend of Lost Nation, but a lost ship, lost documents belong to an eccentric Victorian botanist, and a mysterious plant not seen in a century, that might save, or take, countless lives.As the ghosts begin to gather, Gamache realises that the body on the grave is far from the only death. To solve the crime and avert catastrophe he must look to rancid secrets and old lies no longer dead and buried.

'I loved every page of Emily's punchy, provocative, energised, joyful musings.' - MATT HAIG'Emily's words are why we all need to get off the internet.' - AJA BARBER, in her Patreon newsletter'What follows is not a tidy narrative. I am not a tidy person. These pages are made of fragments, contradictions, jokes, confessions and philosophical detours, because, well, that is how life happens . . .'In this book, Emily Crane invites us to share her observations on the extraordinary and the everyday: stacks of washing up sit alongside musings on God; hot coffee accompanies thoughts about creativity; and memories of snails in her childhood garden slip in beside notes on writing, and books. We find Nietzsche living in a house-share with Keats, and a grieving Demeter keeps us company on wintry Sunday morning walks. Drawing upon philosophy, literature, mythology and memoir, In Search of Lost Thoughts is an antidote to the stresses and distractions of the world we live in. Above all, it is a vivid and striking insight into what it means to be a young woman today.
