Rose Gardner collects secrets the way other people collect junk—and now she’s being asked to expose them. Special Prosecutor Mason Deveraux has called a grand jury to investigate the corruption in the Sweet Branch Police Department, and he’s summoned Rose as a witness. Any topic is fair game, and the criminals in Fenton county are rightly scared of what she might share under oath. While trying to placate the lawless men, Rose is also caring for her dying sister, Violet. Only Violet’s doctor has fled town after selling prescriptions, and Rose is sure big-time drug dealer Denny Carmichael has his hand in the situation. She has no intention of investigating, but like with a lot of her cases, clues keep falling into her lap. Then, just when it feels like everything’s at a boiling point, Rose gets shocking news that turns her life upside down. Now, she’s not just soothing the criminals’ anxiety, but actively seeking allies for a fight she hasn’t asked for—and her enemy just might be the man she loves.

Weather Architecture further extends Jonathan Hill’s investigation of authorship by recognising the creativity of the weather. At a time when environmental awareness is of growing relevance, the overriding aim is to understand a history of architecture as a history of weather and thus to consider the weather as an architectural author that affects design, construction and use in a creative dialogue with other authors such as the architect and user. Environmental discussions in architecture tend to focus on the practical or the poetic but here they are considered together. Rather than investigate architecture’s relations to the weather in isolation, they are integrated into a wider discussion of cultural and social influences on architecture. The analysis of weather’s effects on the design and experience of specific buildings and gardens is interwoven with a historical survey of changing attitudes to the weather in the arts, sciences and society, leading to a critical re-evaluation of contemporary responses to climate change.

From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of the Booker Prize–winning novel The Remains of the Day comes an inspired sequence of stories as affecting as it is beautiful. With the clarity and precision that have become his trademarks, Kazuo Ishiguro interlocks five short pieces of fiction to create a world that resonates with emotion, heartbreak, and humor. Here is a fragile, once famous singer, turning his back on the one thing he loves; a music junky with little else to offer his friends but opinion; a songwriter who inadvertently breaks up a marriage; a jazz musician who thinks the answer to his career lies in changing his physical appearance; and a young cellist whose tutor has devised a remarkable way to foster his talent. For each, music is a central part of their lives and, in one way or another, delivers them to an epiphany.

There are worse fates than growing up knowing that you will one day inherit a vast and magnificent Cotswolds country estate, but for Rhys Travers it has always felt like a huge responsibility. Juniper Meadows is home to much of his extended family, not to mention the many local businesses that operate on the estate, so there’s no time to sit back and enjoy the view. Juniper Meadows is a full-time job, and that doesn’t leave much time for romance... Tasha Blake’s career leaves no time for romance either – much to her mother’s chagrin. Tasha’s sister Danni has kindly provided two grandchildren, but Victoria Blake is keen for more! When her job takes her to Juniper Meadows for an extended project, the slower pace of life, the beauty of the countryside and the warmth of the Travers family, soon has Tasha in its thrall, and the future Lord of the Manor Rhys Travers is rather easy on the eye too. As the busyness of life on the estate sweeps Tasha and Rhys along, they are both able to ignore the secrets and silences that are growing between them. But when the future of Juniper Meadows hangs in the balance, loyalties and love are tested to breaking point. When the chips are down, can Rhys and Tasha see a future together, come rain or shine... Sarah Bennett is back with her signature blend of warmth and joy, plot and pace. A Sarah Bennett book is a ray of sunshine and a huge hug, guaranteed to brighten any day, perfect for all fans of Cathy Bramley, Katie Fforde and Phillipa Ashley. Praise for the Juniper Meadows series: 'A perfect read to cosy up with at this time of year.

It’s just so damn lovely, and quite honestly, I want to go there and never leave!’ ‘I’ve read many of Sarah’s books and she quickly became one of my favourite authors. This latest doesn’t disappoint. Love the setting and the extended familial relationships, with the vulnerabilities of the characters very well portrayed. Look forward to reading more in this series.’

"High-spirited and unafraid, full of Louisiana Cajun zest, quick to anger and quick to forvice, and quick to offer unabashed praise for his world, Jack Bedell's new pomes take us through lived experiences, come rain or come shine. He tells his story and fixes his place in these remarkably examining lyrics that grab hold and won't let go." --Heather Ross Miller "Deeply rooted in Bedell's native Louisiana, these poems preserve his Cajun heritage and customs to form the complex texture of this impressive collection. Family life is always at the center of his work, and it is a source of deep joy for Bedell whether he's detailing a pretend sword fight with his son or watching his wife take a bath. These poems are infused with a deep understanding of what it is to be human because Bedell has cored them from the heart. In Come Rain, Come Shine, Jack Bedell has the vision to realize where a significant story is, and in telling it, he leads his reader to such wisdom." --Vivian Shipley "Jack Bedell is a prince amongst poets, a kindred spirit in this magnificent landscape of Cajuns and Southern Louisiana, where his best poems render amazing texture to a place filthy rich in culture, sugar cane fields, Mardi Gras, and a world where any child would be blessed to live his/her childhood. The poems in Come Rain, Come Shine, simply and memorably, are as delicious and nourishing as etouffée and jambalaya. They also reveal a man coming to terms with his own history, family, and religion. His is a mature voice, graceful and eloquent, that brings to life more than the memory of the place and its people. I've been a longtime admirer of Mr. Bedell's poetic gifts, and I highly recommend this new book of his for it is amongst some of the best poetry I've read in a while." --Virgin Suárez "Come Rain, Come Shine dazzles with a quiet brilliance all its own, a luster born of simple things, with stirring poems of desire, familial love and fatherhood, and with real life places and encounters, at once exotic and familiar. These lyric poems are rich with a sense of place and narrative and evoke both family story and Louisiana in all their rain and shine." --Diane Thiel
