I keep all her secrets. She thinks she can trust me…

Cecilia has it all. The house on the beach. The cute figure. The beautiful baby. But she’s a long way from perfect.

She’s let me into her gorgeous house as her nanny because now she’s on her own, she needs a little help with her baby daughter Peyton. She barely notices me. But I see everything.

While Peyton naps, I rifle through her drawers and discover the dark secrets in her past, the threatening letter from her ex-husband.

It's a shame that Cecilia doesn’t have my powers of observation. If she took some time, she might just recognise me. I’ve been following her for a while, after all.

If she knew who I was then I don’t think I’d be so invisible. And she wouldn’t be so surprised one morning when little Peyton’s cot is found empty…

A completely gripping and unputdownable read that will have you turning pages deep into the night. Fans of Shari Lapena and Freida McFadden will be hooked by What the Nanny Saw.

Excerpt:

That’s the thing when you’re a nanny for an uber-rich family. They think they own you, every minute of your time, even if your contract says otherwise. They also raise their children to think they are in charge of you, not the other way around—especially once the children become teenagers. You’re the least powerful person in the household, sometimes even less valued than the pets. You’re only the nanny. Case in point, Kathie and Kimmie, ages 11 and 13, two of the four kids I’m taking care of for the Johnson family. I’m in the kitchen—lovely and spacious, with sunshine pouring in at large windows, a view of the Pacific Ocean sparkling in the distance, all the best high-end stainless-steel appliances—loading the dishwasher. It’s about 10 minutes before I leave the house to begin dropping the angels off for school. Jimmy, in third grade, is my favorite. He’s still young enough to be sweet, while his older brother Johnny, age 10, is slowly becoming his father. Not a good development, not at all.

Almost Infamous
Sarah Ainslee
Publication date: May 20th 2025
Genres: Coming of Age, Contemporary, New Adult, Young Adult

Jenny Han meets Olivia Rodrigo’s SOUR in this humorous and heartfelt coming-of-age novel from the author of That Wasn’t in the Script.

What do you do when your dad’s a legendary rockstar, but you’re the only one who knows it? For seventeen-year-old Emmy Harper, the answer’s simple: pretend he doesn’t exist. After all, Nick Addison, frontman of the iconic rock band Mayfair, bailed before she was even born.

Emmy’s summer plans are set until her mom drops a bomb: Nick wants to meet her. The catch? She has to spend two weeks on tour with Mayfair—incognito. After two decades of fame, scandals, and tabloid drama, he suddenly wants to get involved? Hard pass. Turns out, Emmy doesn’t have a choice.

Now stuck on the road with a bunch of rockstars, Emmy’s world is flipped upside down. Alongside the charming drummer’s son, Sullivan, she uncovers truths about Nick’s supposed abandonment and how everything she’s been taught about her family might be the farthest thing from reality.

Between band drama, first love, and backstage passes to the wild world of rock & roll, Emmy’s summer is a whirlwind of unexpected twists. But is it a chance for redemption or a ticket to chaos?

One doctor. One patient. One terrible lie.

I used to have it all. My ex-boyfriend and I were madly in love and dreamed of starting a family. When I found out I couldn’t have children, it broke me. Now, at my job at the fertility clinic, I give other couples what I could never have.

The day my ex and his new wife walk into my clinic, my heart shatters all over again. He’s back. Now, I stand here with a syringe trembling in my hand and an impossible decision to make:

Do I help them conceive a child—even though I know he’s keeping a dangerous secret?

Or do I protect his wife—my patient, now—and take what’s rightfully mine?

Motherhood is a gift. I want a baby so bad it hurts. My ex knows the dark secrets that haunt my own past too… but has he underestimated how far I’ll go to get the child I’ve always dreamed of?

Only one thing is for certain. If anyone discovers what I’m about to do, it will tear us all apart…

A completely gripping psychological thriller that will have you racing through the pages. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Shari Lapena and The Girl on the Train—you won’t be able to put this down.

The Clinic 

Written By Cara Reinhard 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Cara Reinard, Bookouture, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 

WOW!! The Clinic was an incredibly fascinating read as Cara Reinard took us behind the scenes of a couple going through an IVF Journey. She did an amazing job educating us by detailing everything that was happening. Not to mention pulling out the emotions of the characters as well. This was a good read and needs to be put on your TBR List. 

I loved how this book was set in Pittsburgh as I am a huge fan of the area as my Sister and her family live there. I had to smile every time she mentioned the Steelers or Cranberry.

Cara mentions the Lifetime Movie Switched at Birth in the book and I remembered that movie fondly as that was one of my fave’s. 

Oh I wouldn’t have wanted to be Emily when I found out my next IVF couple was my ex and his new wife!! How awkward that would.

The Clinic is fast paced, addictive, has a lot of twists and turns, etc.

He wouldn’t just vanish!’ Kate cries, her head in her hands. ‘Something is wrong, I can feel it. And I have to find him before it’s too late…’

When Kate meets Theo on the worst day of her life, she doesn’t expect to fall in love.

Sitting on a broken-down train, desperate to reach her brother before his last breath, Kate feels all hope is lost. But then Theo, a man with a kind smile, offers to help. And as he gets Kate to the hospital on the darkest day of her life, she feels something brighten in her chest.

As Kate mends her broken heart, Theo doesn’t leave her side. Each day, he brings small joys to her life – from spontaneous dates in the hospital canteen, to a romantic weekend under the stars. And as she looks into his warm brown eyes, she feels she has found happiness at last…

But then Theo vanishes. Kate’s calls go unanswered, and his house stays dark and empty. No matter what her friends say, she knows something isn’t right. He wouldn’t leave without saying goodbye, would he?

Kate begins to search for the man she loves. But when she finds out the truth behind why he disappeared, her heart breaks once more. Because Theo made a promise to protect Kate, which is why he had to leave her… But can Kate face the truth and find Theo before it’s too late?

An absolutely heartbreaking, emotional novel that will keep you reading late into the night. Perfect for fans of unputdownable and page-turning family dramas, and for readers of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Diane Chamberlain.

When Catherine Miller became a mum to twins, she decided her hands weren’t full enough so wrote a novel with every spare moment she managed to find. By the time the twins were two, Catherine had a two-book deal with Carina UK. There is a possibility she has aged remarkably in that time. Her debut novel, Waiting For You, came out in March 2016.

Catherine was a NHS physiotherapist, but for health reasons (Uveitis and Sarcoidosis) she retired early from this career. As she loved her physiotherapy job, she decided if she couldn’t do that she would pursue her writing dream. It took a few years and a couple of babies, but in 2015 she won the Katie Fforde bursary, was a finalist in the London Book Fair Write Stuff Competition and highly commended in Woman magazine’s writing competition. Soon afterwards she signed with Carina. Soon after that, she collapsed in a heap and was eventually revived by chocolate.

Since then she’s become an internationally bestselling novelist and hasn’t found a week that didn’t require revival by chocolate. She is one eighth of The Romaniacs – a group of writing friends who’ve supported each other since meeting through The Romantic Novelists’ Association’s New Writers’ Scheme.

The Day He Disappeared 

Written By Catherine Miller

Reviewed By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 

First, I want to thank Catherine Miller, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Usually, my go to genre is psychological thrillers. However, a huge part of me craves emotionally charged, heartstrings pulled, tissues needed kind of stories that will make you ugly cry. Cathrine Miller had that effect on me with her latest The Day He Disappeared! 

Catherine wants to dedicate this book to Eden, her youngest by twenty-seven minutes and her perfect package.

The graphic designers did a beautiful job of creating the cover of The Day He Disappeared! I loved the simplicity of the beautiful girl with the flowing long hair on the cover and the colorful backdrop. 

Early on page one Catherine yanked hard on my heart strings and oh I knew to go fetch the tissues. The Day He Disappeared is a story of the incredibly strong bond that a sister and her dying brother share. It is a storyline that made me want to call my sister and tell her I love and appreciate her in my life! 

I was quite surprised and could not stop laughing at one of the scenes given the seriousness of the situation. But it was just the raunchy comical relief that the character needed and threw the reader off guard it was priceless! I couldn’t stop laughing, it was just so funny! 

My heart was incredibly happy that Theo was able to meet Matthew who met so much with Kate before it was too late. 

I loved how Theo and Kate met by chance and their budding relationship throughout the book 

The Day He Disappeared will have you glued to your kindle, have you wanting to hug your sibling a little tighter, one minute you will be smiling and have love in your heart, and the next minute you will be reaching for your tissues! Needless to say you will be on an emotional rollercoaster but loving every minute of it! Well at least I did. This is a must read and has to be added to your TBR list.

 A Nightingale in Parkleigh Square

The sparkling NEW Christmas Romance from the author of A Wedding in Cornwall!

Quirky, creative, and dedicated to their work, window dressers Nina and Molly can’t believe the news from the upscale staging and design company which occasionally hires them as extras during the Christmas season: their tiny New York company has just been tapped to create a magical Christmas window and showroom display for London’s newest designer fashion boutique! 

With their trusty assistant in tow, they catch a plane across the Pond, making their way to the historic former department store with a unique past in Parkleigh Square—and their once-in-a-lifetime chance to impress the ultimate client, legendary fashion designer Simone Van Stewart.

But a humiliating encounter with the London branch’s new frosty director reveals a tragic truth — the duo was hired by mistake. With time running out before the store’s unveiling, and the best window stagers already booked, however, Nina and Molly have been given a tentative trial period to prove they can do the job – and they’ll need a miracle to survive it. Battling deadlines, a delivery disaster, and their own personal doubts, it seems their dream assignment could soon spiral into their worst nightmare.

Not everybody at the exclusive store for Van Stewart is against them, however. Rugged, handsome fashion designer Vincent is supportive of their chances, and makes Nina’s heart race whenever their paths cross. Can she risk romance with an ocean between their two worlds, and with all her future plans and dreams at stake? Her friend Molly worries she’s getting in over her head—but Molly has her own complications to worry about, both personal and professional, as the dream team from Queens searches for the key to make Parkleigh Square’s newest business come alive with Christmas magic, which may just lie in histories both beloved and forgotten.

Filled with flurries of romance, friendship, humor, and heartwarming revelations, A Nightingale in Parkleigh Square is the must-read new release of the Christmas season.
