|  | Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris
There's a reckoning on the way ...and Sookie has a knack for being in trouble's way; not least when she witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte's, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is known to be two-natured, suspicion immediately falls on the anti-shifters in the area. Sookie suspects otherwise, but before she can investigate something else - something even more dangerous - comes up. Sookie's lover Eric Northman and his 'child' Pam are plotting something in secret. Whatever it is, they seem determined to keep Sookie out of it; almost as determined as Sookie is to find out what's going on. She can't sit on the sidelines when both her work and her love life under threat - but as she's gradually drawn into their plans Sookie finds the situation is deadlier than she could ever have imagined.

|  | Happy Birthday by Danielle Steel
The brilliant new novel from the world's favourite author - perfect summer reading!
For April Wyatt, turning 30 is not what she had expected. She isn’t married with a family, but she does at least have a successful career - running one of the best restaurants in New York. She would do anything for her business, so when a respected restaurant critic pays April a visit, she wants to impress him. And after a few bottles of her restaurant’s finest wine, they end up in bed together. April thinks nothing more of it, until she spends the morning of her birthday taking a pregnancy test…
On the other side of town, April’s mother Valerie is turning 60. A woman for whom appearances are everything, she can’t quite equate her age with how she feels. Besides, it’s essential that she looks youthful for her career and the empire she has built herself as a media personality and style guru. She’s certainly not old enough to be a grandmother…
It is also sports presenter Jack’s birthday. A popular figure on TV but also a notorious womanizer, he fears his age may finally be catching up with him when he is forced to spend his birthday on heavy painkillers and with a visit to his chiropractor after a rather energetic night spent with a younger woman…
As these three very different people celebrate their birthdays, they worry what their futures may hold. And whether it is grabbing opportunities, making new friends or falling in love, all three of them learn to see life through new eyes.

|  | The Map of Time by Felix J. Palma
London, 1896. Andrew Harrington's beloved has been murdered by Jack the Ripper. Claire Haggerty longs to escape the constraints of Victorian society. For both, time is the problem: to escape it, to change it, might offer them the hope they need. As their lives become entangled with H.G. Wells - who is basking in the success of his novel The Time Machine - all three set off on a desperate flight through the centuries. But what happens when we alter history? Weaving together mystery, science fiction, romance, and historical fantasy, The Map of Time is an epic page-turner that will take you on a ride back (and forward) in time.
