Welcome to September’s new releases.
Today we have 2 book to share with you. Congratulations Milla and Meredith on your new releases.

Old Town Symphony by Milla Holt
Publisher: Reinbok Limited (Release date 17 September 2025)
He built the show to launch stars—not fall for one.
Kezia Blair believes true talent shouldn’t need shortcuts. But after years of singing backup and recording anonymous jingles, her shot at a real music career is slipping away. When a last-ditch audition lands her on Starbound, TV’s biggest reality show, Kezia faces a painful choice: chase stardom on someone else’s terms—or walk away for good.
Zach Falconer created Starbound to launch fresh talent—not get tangled up with it. Burned by a fame-hungry ex, he’s determined to protect his show from scandal and his heart from pain.
But Kezia’s passion, honesty, and refusal to play the game shake his carefully controlled world. And the deeper their connection grows, the harder it becomes to protect the lines between love, loyalty, and career.
In an industry where image is everything, can they hold onto what matters most… or will success cost them the truth—and each other?
A soulful, slow-burn Christian romance about integrity, ambition, and the price of staying true.

Last Chance Joey by Meredith Resce
Publisher: Wombat Books (Release date 1 October, 20250
No phone, no wi-fi, no friends and no options.
Expelled from three schools, Joey is sent to the country to live with his aunt. She asks him to help an old man recovering from an accident, and now he has a choice. It sounds like a crazy idea, but he chooses to help. What else is there to do, a million miles from anywhere?
But when Joey meets Harry, he finds in him a friend—even if he’s eighty-five. Maybe life when people trust you might be a good thing.
As Joey’s desire for acceptance grows, break-ins threaten the community and Joey’s past starts to catch up with him. How can Joey turn his life around when his mistakes follow him everywhere he goes? And will he be there for Harry when he needs him?
