From the New York Times<\/em> bestselling author Ann Patchett comes Whistler<\/em>, a luminous and quietly devastating novel about the indelible marks left by love\u2014however brief, however long ago. When Daphne Fuller, now fifty-three, crosses paths with Eddie Triplett at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the decades collapse in an instant: he was her stepfather for just over a year when she was nine, yet that fleeting chapter shaped the entire course of both their lives. Reunited, there is no question of ever parting again. At its heart, Whistler<\/em> is a meditation on memory and courage, on the small, unassuming moments that quietly rewrite our futures, and on the profound ache of loss that eventually finds us all\u2014but it is also, above all else, a testament to endurance.<\/p>\n\nRelease Date: 2 June<\/h2>\n\nLand<\/h2>\n\t\n\t\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/241126782.jpg\")

The Great Hunger has hollowed out the land, and cartographer Tom\u00e1s is determined that his survey maps will bear witness to what was lost. But when a strange encounter in an ancient copse shatters something deep within him, it falls to his ten-year-old son Liam to hold the pieces together\u2014and somehow finish the work before the British soldiers arrive. Lyrical, haunting and devastating, Land<\/em> is a story about what the earth remembers long after the people are gone, and what a child will do to bring his father home.<\/p>\n\nRelease Date: 2 June<\/h2>\n\nMy Forever Girl<\/h2>\n\t\n\t\t![\"new](\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/241626987.jpeg\")

In the first book in the Blue Sky Bay<\/em> series, Gracie Reynolds comes back to Blue Sky Bay<\/em> with a broken heart, a suitcase and nowhere else to go. Staying with her childhood best friend was supposed to be temporary\u2014just long enough to figure out her next chapter. But somewhere between old memories and late nights, the easy comfort of everything she knows starts to feel a lot like something she\u2019s never let herself want. He\u2019s always noticed her. She\u2019s always known it. And now that they\u2019ve crossed a line neither of them planned for, the question isn\u2019t whether they belong together\u2014it\u2019s whether she\u2019s brave enough to stop running toward her future and finally turn around.<\/p>\n\nRelease Date: 2 June<\/h2>\n\nHarvest Season<\/h2>\n\t\n\t\t![\"new](\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/242624490.jpg\")
<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nBrynne Weaver<\/h2>\n\n
For readers who like their love stories with a body count, this will certainly fit the bill. Brynne Weaver\u2019s wickedly seductive Seasons of Carnage<\/em> trilogy returns to the town where dark romance and razor-sharp suspense collide. Nolan came to Cape Carnage with one purpose: to end Harper Starling. Now he\u2019s falling for her instead\u2014which would be romantic, if they weren\u2019t both killers. As true crime obsessives descend on their small town and bodies pile up beneath the surface, every alliance is tested, and every secret threatens to detonate. Harper is unravelling. Nolan is barely holding the chaos together. And love, as it turns out, may be the most dangerous weapon either of them has ever encountered.<\/p>\n\nRelease Date: 9 June<\/h2>\n\nLight Wielder<\/h2>\n\t\n\t\t![\"new](\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/213574919.jpeg\")
<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nRelease Date: 9 June<\/h2>\n\n
The second instalment of the Fire and Metal<\/em> series picks up four years after a single, devastating choice shattered everything between Jovie and Acker\u2014and the fallout has set an entire world ablaze. Now on opposite sides of a war she helped ignite, Jovie is burying the Matching Bond to protect innocent people from her own mistakes, while Acker fights his father\u2019s battles trapped in a loveless arranged marriage\u2014and slipping, uninvited, into her dreams. But when a chilling secret about the king\u2019s returned power surfaces, Acker is forced into the one choice he\u2019s been avoiding: the crown, or her.<\/p>\n\nGood At Being Alive<\/h2>\n\t\n\t\t![\"new](\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/241715937.jpg\")

When Bex Daniels inherits her late father\u2019s struggling travel agency, salvation arrives in the most inconvenient form: Theo Porter\u2014straight-laced, guarded, and impossibly attractive\u2014and a reality TV deal that requires them to play newlyweds on camera. From the sun-drenched cliffs of Capri to the candlelit streets of Paris, what begins as performance slowly becomes something neither of them planned for. The only thing standing between them and a real love story? Grief, secrets and the sneaking suspicion they might actually deserve to be happy.<\/p>\n\n

The Crowne women have always been the town\u2019s favourite scandal. Everyone knows their name, their whiskey, and their talent for quiet, unhurried revenge. What nobody knows is what really happened to the youngest one\u2014or why she came back different. She rebuilt herself from nothing, swore herself to silence, and almost had something resembling peace. Then a charming jeweller with too many questions walked in and refused to leave. Julian Colton shouldn\u2019t still be here. She definitely shouldn\u2019t be letting him close. But with a dead body, a missing cop, and threads connecting him to secrets her family has spent years burying, keeping her distance was never really an option.<\/p>\n\n

If Twisters<\/em> left you breathless and a little lovesick, this debut is your next obsession. Wedding photographer Sloane Michaels lives for the six weeks a year she trades taffeta for tornado season\u2014and this year, she\u2019s chasing more than storms. She\u2019s gunning for the cover of Nature Shots<\/em> magazine. The only thing standing between her and that shot? \u201cWild Wes\u201d Talbot, her reckless, infuriatingly charming decade-long rival, who ends up in her car\u2014and slowly, dangerously, under her skin. Racing through Tornado Alley in forced proximity, Sloane starts to suspect that Wes has been paying attention to her all along, and that the electricity crackling between them has nothing to do with the weather.<\/p>\n\nRelease Date: 23 June<\/h2>\n\nTempting Venom<\/h2>\n\t\n\t\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/244241746.jpg\")

Preston Armstrong has always taken what he wants and destroyed everything else\u2014until Marcus Osborn. Captain of the rival team, equal parts infuriating and magnetic, Marcus is the one person who refuses to flinch. When their collision-course rivalry turns into something violent, addictive, and impossible to quit, neither man is prepared for what happens when two genuinely heartless people accidentally start feeling things. They set out to ruin each other. What they built instead is far more dangerous.<\/p>\n\n
