The Devil Wears Prada meets Emily Henry in this irresistible new rom-com. From the acclaimed author of The Wedding Forecast, loved by Shameless Book Club, comes a slow-burn, forced-proximity romance about a PA falling for her boss’s son.

Thirty-year-old Charlotte is working hard to reinvent herself after her career as a book editor went up in flames. She’s moved to a coastal town and landed a new job as a personal assistant to well-known media personality Hillary Hobbs. Hillary is launching a writers festival, and Charlotte is determined to prove herself capable of meeting her boss’s every need.

When Hillary’s son Xavier arrives in town, Charlotte has a new problem to solve. A one-time-bestselling author, Xavier hasn’t written a word for years and now he’s broken up with his girlfriend and has nowhere to live.

Charlotte finds herself not only offering Xavier her spare room, but also promising Hillary she’ll get his life back on track.

But the more time Charlotte and Xavier spend together, the more an undeniable attraction develops, complicating everything…

We are now less than ONE week away from welcoming dinukamckenzie to our Books in Bars family with the release of her new novel, She Lied First, at .

Bookings are essential: https://www.trybooking.com/DOBFV

Dinuka's profile continues to rise as one of the most exciting voices in Australian crime writing, building on the success of her acclaimed Detective Kate Miles novels. With She Lied First, she makes a standout shift from police procedural into standalone psychological suspense – a natural evolution of her craft and a major breakout moment.

She Lied First is one of the most satisfyingly twisty thrillers published this year: a layered, emotionally charged story of sisters, secrets and betrayal that pairs a gripping high-concept hook with real depth of character, moving into page-turning psychological territory with total confidence.

The dream apartment. The start of a grand adventure. And two lives about to unravel.

Devika is living her best life, moving out of home in her final year of university. Close to the beach and away from her mother. Independent and self-sufficient, just like Kalyani. There’s just one awful secret that Kal can never find out about.

Kalyani has it made. A new job. A unit she can afford, and her little sister as her roomie. She's finally achieved the life she’s always wanted. Except for the one big thing she’s yet to confide in Devi. A truth that gets harder to reveal the longer she waits.

When their lives are torn apart by betrayal, and Kal refuses to forgive her sister, Devi must peel back everything she thought she knew to rediscover Kalyani, lie by lie and secret by secret.

is coming to Books in Bars at to talk all things Sci-Fi and his new book Massif.

Bookings are essential: https://www.trybooking.com/DNWEC

Caught me a mountain
Rode it to the stars

It's business as usual for Ship Leader Parnell Shi-Sawahla and the crew of the corvette Sassafras. Ride a Massif to a new system, fight the enemy, repeat. For more than two hundred years humans have been hitching rides on these sentient, starfaring mountain ranges, colonising planets and exporting an on-again, off-again war between Earth and Mars.

But the big questions are always there, behind every battle, every new colony, every new star system discovery.

Why do the Massifs carry humans to the stars?
Why do they help us export our wars?
What's in it for the Massifs?

Ship crews aren't supposed to ask these questions, they aren't supposed to think about these questions, and they definitely aren't supposed to go deep and talk to Massif avatars. But now Parnell and his tight-knit crew must try to find the answers, to save not only themselves but the future of humanity.

Gripping, intelligent science-fiction from worldwide bestselling author Garth Nix. For fans of the Expanse series by James S A Corey including Leviathan Wakes, and David Weber's Honor Harrington books.

is a masterful storyteller and she is coming back to Geelong and our Books in Bars program at for her new tale - The Extraordinary Florence Stoker .

Bookings are essential: https://www.trybooking.com/DNWD

From a bestselling, award-winning author comes a compellingly realised story of an enigmatic figure, the beautiful 19th century muse and brilliant social powerhouse, Florence Stoker, whose life, in spite of her many gifts, was overshadowed by one of the most abiding and terrifying of contemporary culture's monsters, the vampire Dracula - her own husband's creation.

Dublin, 1878. When the witty and beautiful Florence Balcombe marries up-and-coming theatre impresario and putative novelist Bram Stoker, and her dazzling literary salons make her the darling of the literary, theatre and art worlds in London, no-one is surprised. So what if she came from humble beginnings and her prior engagement to Oscar Wilde was inexplicably broken off, she was always exceptional. Besides, none of that matters now she moves in exalted circles and Bram is managing the Lyceum for Henry Irving, the leading actor of his generation.

But appearances can be deceptive. Bram is in thrall to the tyrannical narcissist Henry, who is draining the life from him, and his distance from his marriage bed is noticeable. Dear friend Oscar is in court for gross indecency and Florence is afraid - for her family, of the secret she keeps and of the visions of a monstrous fanged demon that haunts her by day and night.

But Florence will fight for her family and rid herself of the threats - both real and phantom - that plague her, even if it threatens her own sanity.

After all, no ordinary monster can confound the extraordinary Florence Stoker.

is coming to Books in Bars on Wednesday night to discuss her new book Like, Follow, Die. This book is for fans of Lisa Jewell’s None of This Is True and Netflix’s Adolescence, this shattering and provocative psychological thriller dives into the darkest corners of the internet and the powerful bonds between parents and children.

Corinne Gray’s life is falling apart. When homicide detective Kyle Nazarian unexpectedly knocks on her door on a rainy morning, she knows why. He wants to talk about her son, Ben.

An average teen in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, Ben is dating his first girlfriend and trying to find an after-school job. But as his luck sours, he’s increasingly drawn into shadowy corners of the internet.

This is Corinne’s chance to finally explain how her sweet-natured child, who loved history and dreamed of swimming for Olympic gold, grew up to do the unthinkable. What really happened to Ben? And could anyone have prevented it?

Kyle, meanwhile, is grappling with his own crisis both at home and at work. Torn between his duties and a growing sympathy for Corinne, Kyle must decide how far he’s willing to go in his pursuit of justice.
