Digital books of the month
Multiple copies available in E-book and E-audiobook, free to download from 1st March.
'The Love Intervention' by Caroline Khoury
Clinical scientist Laila has no time to date. Cooped up in a hospital lab all day, she's busy working towards her five-year plan. But when her carefully structured world starts to crumble, her friends stage an intervention - a love intervention.
Their plan: remind Laila there's more to life than work and reconnect her with the three men who stole her heart while she was studying in the States ten years ago - Austin, Edoardo and Mateo. From California to Puerto Rico and Costa Rica, Laila reunites with her past and reignites passions she thought were long dormant.
But who will be the one to rewrite her five-year plan? And was it just her love life which needed an intervention?
'The Daughter' by T.M. Logan
Lauren can't wait to see her daughter again, to pick her up from university at the end of her first term. But when she arrives at her hall and knocks on the door to her room, a stranger opens it.
At first, Lauren thinks she must have the wrong room, or the wrong floor. Maybe even the wrong building.
But she soon realises the truth: Evie's not there. She hasn't been there for weeks. So where is she?
