  A Trial of the Century witnessed by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In the dock: a quiet American doctor accused of mutilation and murder. In 1910, Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen stood trial for the murder of his wife, the music-hall performer Belle Elmore, after human remains were discovered beneath the cellar floor of their London home. What followed was one of the first great twentieth-century media manhunts: a transatlantic pursuit to Canada aboard a steamship, the revolutionary use of wireless telegraphy, and a trial watched by a public gripped by fascination and unease. This script edition accompanies the full-cast courtroom drama audiobook released April 24th, 2026. Drawn from the original Old Bailey trial transcripts and contemporary reporting, this edition recreates the key exchanges between prosecution and defence: the forensic examination of the remains, the testimony surrounding a troubled marriage, and the steady, methodical dismantling of the accused in open court. The proceeding...

  He was never meant to be mine, but fate doesn’t give a damn about definitions. Our relationship grew through the pain, through the breaking, through the pleasure that rebuilt me, and we found something worth keeping. It's not perfect. It’s not pure. But it’s ours—And it all began with a forbidden step. My Review Another good, quickie read form Dani Rose. I like how caring but at the same time Dylan being a DOM. As a DOM it is not just about being in charge but also caring for the one that you are with. That is what Dylan does for Lucy. He understands what she needs and helps to give her a voice.  While a short, quick read, there is a nice steamy scene. it is a good one. If you are new to Dani Rose, this would be a good novella to start with. You will enjoy it. 

  Tropes ★ Brother’s Best Friend ★ Friends to Lovers ★ Sports Romance ★ Forced Proximity ★ He Falls First ★ Forbidden / Off-Limits Emily Sinclair lives by the Rule of Three: work hard, stay organized, and never, under any circumstances, look at Finn Taylor as anything other than her brother’s best friend. Finn has always been her safe harbor. The late-night phone call. The permanent plus-one. The only person who knows she’d rather temper chocolate than draft a legal brief. He is also the pro football star whose career just slammed into a brick wall of a humiliating season-ending injury. When Finn’s confidence hits rock bottom, Emily does what she does best. She makes a plan. She will help him through rehab, and in return, he will help her transform a dusty storefront into the chocolate shop of her dreams. Simple. Except somewhere between physical therapy sessions and renovation dust, the lines they spent a decade drawing start to blur. Finn is not just offering to...

When she finally gets the chance to break free, she runs... straight into the jaws of something far worse. Harkan is ruthless and utterly uninterested in letting her go. When he severs her old chains, he replaces them with something far more a bond that hums beneath her skin every time he's near. She should hate him, and she does... But she also can't stop thinking about his hands. His voice. The way his control fractures every time someone looks at her wrong. With the Mating Moon rising and enemies closing in, Sable is caught between the man hunting her and the wolf claiming her, and a bond that's making it harder to tell the difference between captivity and craving. Seven nights. One feral Alpha. And a bond that won't be denied. Because when the moon rises and magic comes due, some bonds damn you… And some mark you forever. My Review Ooh, I really l...

  I loved three men who left me for dead. Now, I’m going to war, and I’m dragging them to hell with me, whether they like it or not. Aleksandr still makes me want to drop to my knees. Cole still looks at me like I'm the worst thing that ever happened to him. Tristan's obsession is dangerous because I want to give in, and I hate myself for it. My enemies are coming, and I don't have the luxury of fighting alone. I'll use every weapon I have. Including the three men who broke me. Especially them. I woke up alone in a hospital bed, and I will never forgive them for that. They think I'm the villain. Maybe it's time I became one. Vicious Wins is the conclusion to the Cruel Games duet, a scorching hot, dark, why choose, hockey romance with groveling, redemption, and a hard-earned HEA.

  “You’re invited to the wedding of the summer. We hope you can join us. Mia, it’s a pity you don’t have a date.” After receiving that rude invite, I did something wildly unhinged. I suggested to my best friend, Luke (yes, Rex’s brother) that we should go to the wedding together and pretend we’d been secretly dating for a year. After receiving that rude invite from my childhood crush Rex, I did something wildly unhinged. I suggested to my best friend, Luke (Rex’s brother), that we should go to the wedding together and pretend we’d been secretly dating for a year. The rules were simple: Pretend we were soulmates, written in the stars. No crossing physical lines (I was dumb). Break up immediately after the wedding. As you can guess, the plan derailed as soon as Luke arrived back in town. Maybe it was being forced to share a luxury hotel room, or the game of Twister on the beach, or the strip poker we had too much fun playing, but the lines blurred almost immediately. Whatever it was,...
