The Best Book of 2025

 


According to Tiffanys Library, OUR PERFECT FAMILY isn't just the best psychological thriller she's read, it's the best book of 2025 overall!

Perfection hides the darkest secrets…

Respected high school teacher Austin Yates is a devoted family man. But when a cruel online attack leaves his teenage daughter traumatized, Austin’s carefully controlled life begins to unravel. Family means everything to him—and he’ll do whatever it takes to protect them. Even if it means removing the threat.

For Kate, Austin is the man who saved her. She’s a good wife and doting mother. But when whispers of scandal and accusations against Austin ripple through their small town, Kate faces an impossible choice: defend the man she owes everything to or protect the family she’s sworn to hold together.

Mia wanted to complete her final year at school unscathed. But an incriminating photo changes everything and as the world around her closes in, her next move could destroy her family—or save it.

In a town where judgment spreads faster than truth, one family’s secrets are about to be exposed.

And not everyone will survive the fallout.

Lana is a grumpy geek and proud of it. Until she meets fellow employee Zac, who's determined to tease her into playing...with him.

Zac has a secret and it's a doozy. With his company on the brink of collapse, he's determined to discover why, so going undercover on one of his cruise ships seems a sound plan for the CEO. But he doesn't count on being captivated by shy Lana and soon they're indulging in a steamy fling.

They're opposites and once the ship docks, they'll go their separate ways.
Or will they?

Stranded…with my nemesis.

AXEL: It’s bad enough an unseasonal blizzard means I’m stuck with my PA’s annoying cat, but to make matters worse, Mia Samson and her poison pen are in my house too. The renowned reviewer has tanked enough books with her dreaded DNF and I need to teach her a lesson. 
But my enemy is not what I expect and if I’m not careful, I’m in danger of revealing my secret to the one person who can use it against me.

MIA: I know people in publishing call me the career-wrecker behind my back. What they don’t know is, I’m writing a novel, and when I’m lucky enough to win a week-long retreat with bestselling Axel Low in quaint Sugar Plain, Nebraska, I’m thrilled.

Until I discover being snowed in with the reclusive grump is merely the first trope my life has turned into, and soon I’m sorely tempted to enact enemies to lovers…

Which one of us will lose the plot first?

NEW BOOK ALERT!

 

I’m a jeweller. He’s the CEO of a fashion house and my high school nemesis. Now we have to work together. What can go wrong?

Sapphire needs to save her jewel business. To do so, she’s desperate enough to team up with Patrick, CEO of a French couture house. She has no intention of mixing business with pleasure. But she doesn’t count on Patrick’s determination to resurrect the old spark between them.

Patrick has never forgotten Sapphire. She may act like he’s a flawed diamond incapable of salvaging, but he sees beneath her act. They’re good together, like the finest emerald choker combined with a strapless satin sheath. 

And he’ll do whatever it takes to prove it to her…

From Melbourne to Paris, will this mis-matched couple find love?
