The Rook

It's the middle of the night. It's pouring with rain. You've woken up in the middle of a field, alone, surrounded by dead bodies. And you have no idea who you are. Myfanwy Thomas doesn't know what has happened to her. All she has is a collection of letters, written by her past self, to guide her through the improbable world in which she suddenly finds herself. They contain information - on her life, on the improbable powers she has at her fingertips, and on the mysterious organisation she works for. They also contain a warning: someone is trying to kill you. Desperately trying not to be discovered, Myfanwy has to navigate the rigours of her life and job, while trying to find out which of the faces closest to her past self betrayed her . . . . . . before they try again. Winner of the 2012 Aurealis Award for Best Science Fiction Novel, The Rook is Daniel O'Malley's critically-acclaimed debut.

Westin St. James was the one and only person I trusted in this world. Then he left me. And not just left. I'm talking vanished off of the face of the Earth kind of left. But four years later , he walks into the front door of my evil father's house. Like Nothing. Ever. Happened. Even worse, my father informs me he's my new bodyguard. But I'm no longer the naive girl he loved and dumped without a word of explanation. I'm resourceful and independent. Plus, I've got a mean right hook. Which I introduce him too as soon as he reintroduces himself with an infuriating smirk. And things get even crazier after that. Rook is a love and action packed stand-alone romance with roller coaster twists, jaw-dropping turns, and a heart-bursting HEA. Perfect for people who miss ALIAS and readers who love to boo and hiss at disappearing exes who show back up at your front door.
