Publication Day Push: Sleepless by Louise Mumford


Sleepless by Louise Mumford

Don’t close your eyes. Don’t fall asleep. Don’t let them in.

Thea is an insomniac; she hasn’t slept more than three hours a night for years.

So when an ad for a sleep trial that promises to change her life pops up on her phone, Thea knows this is her last chance at finding any kind of normal life.

Soon Thea’s sleeping for longer than she has in a decade, and awakes feeling transformed. So much so that at first she’s willing to overlook the oddities of the trial – the lack of any phone signal; the way she can’t leave her bedroom without permission; the fact that all her personal possessions are locked away, even her shoes. 

But it soon becomes clear that the trial doesn’t just want to help Thea sleep. It wants to control her sleep…

An unputdownable, gripping psychological thriller for fans of The OneBehind Her Eyes and Girl A!

Louise was born and lives in South Wales. From a young age she loved books and dancing, but hated having to go to sleep, convinced that she might miss out on something interesting happening in the world whilst she dozed – much to her mother’s frustration! Insomnia has been a part of her life ever since.

She studied English Literature at university and graduated with first class honours. As a teacher she tried to pass on her love of reading to her students (and discovered that the secret to successful teaching is… stickers! She is aware that that is, essentially, bribery.)

In the summer of 2019 Louise experienced a once-in-a-lifetime moment: she was discovered as a new writer by her publisher at the Primadonna Festival. Everything has been a bit of a whirlwind since then.

Louise lives in Cardiff with her husband and spends her time trying to get down on paper all the marvellous and frightening things that happen in her head.

Her debut thriller, SLEEPLESS, will be published by HQ on 11th Dec 2020.

Publication Day Push: Tempted by the Tycoon's Proposal by Rachael Stewart


Tempted by the Tycoon’s Proposal by Racheal Stewart

A second chance…
With the single dad?

When hotelier Sophia Lambert finds billionaire Jack McGregor’s runaway daughter, a thank you dinner sounds harmless.

Unless Sophia can tempt him with her own proposal: to keep his feet on the ground…

A feel-good romance, perfect for Christmas!

Single dad and high flying businessman, Jack McGregor's daughter, Lily goes missing while staying at a hotel. Hotelier, Sophie Lambert finds the little girl hidden away,...out of sight but safe.

Lots of satisfying, warmth and emotions are visible within this romance. Jack and Sophie have much in common… notably, they are workaholics and each carries the burden of grief. It's a story of two people thrown together by an avoidable incidence, which sparks an attraction neither would have noticed if Lily hadn't run away from her nanny.

With contrasting backdrops of London and Iceland, both protagonists not only have to deal with events from their past but to learn to trust each other and those close to them. It's a time to evaluate what is important to them not only as individuals but as a new couple too… to begin cementing the foundations for a new kind of normalcy for them all, including Lily.

Overall, an enjoyable and heartfelt novel with delightful characters and the northern lights wrapped up in a heart-warming romance.

Rachael Stewart adores conjuring up stories for the readers of Harlequin Mills & Boon and Deep Desires Press, with tales varying from the heartwarmingly romantic to the wildly erotic.

She's been writing since she could put pen to paper as the stacks of scrawled on A4 sheets in her loft will attest to, and the lovingly bound short stories that her father would run off at work and proudly share out with his colleagues. Thinking it was a pipe dream to be published one day, she pursued a sensible career in business but she was really play-acting, achieving the appropriate degree and spending many years in the corporate world where she never truly belonged. Always happiest when she was sat at her laptop in the quiet hours tapping out a story or two. And so here she is, a published author, her full-time pleasure, a dream come true.

A Welsh lass at heart, she now lives in Yorkshire with her husband and three children, and if she's not glued to her laptop, she's wrapped up in them or enjoying the great outdoors seeking out inspiration.
