Book Description
Three misfits – close to genius, close to the brink – come together in a desperate love triangle in this compelling novel. When Bright is suddenly catapulted to fame, he can’t cope with the pressure. He decides to end it all by jumping from the 20th floor of a high-rise on his twentieth birthday. He’s saved by the quirky, eccentric Gibby, and soon the two boys find themselves in a love triangle, vying for the attention of the beautiful, brilliant, unreachable Lace, and also trying to protect her from harm. The three misfits – close to genius, close to the brink – travel from England to a beautiful old spa town in Bavaria. Here, in an experimental institution under the colourful Dr Geoffrey, the pressure mounts. Soon it’s no longer clear who’s in the greatest danger, and who needs saving the most. Unflinching, but tender and often humorous, The Suicide Club is an examination of the last taboo in our society – as well as our deep human desire to connect. It explores why we feel the need to extinguish our lives, how we can pull back from the edge, and how – by saving ourselves – we can sometimes also save the people we love.

Book Description
What if there was a way for the disillusioned super-rich to end it all in style? At the luxurious Bohemian Sports Club in St James's, London's jaded young men feast and swill fine wines as though tomorrow will never come. And for the one who draws the 'Death Card' that night, it never will. When a wealthy English playboy dies in suspicious circumstances in Panama City, Lloyd's claims adjuster and former Royal Marines Commando, Ben Makepeace, is sent to investigate the fifty million dollar insurance claim on the dead man's life. Joining forces with Laura Newman, the grieving sister of one of the Club's members, Ben must elude his own demons as well as the lethal Peruvian assassin, El Pishtaco, to uncover a secret of evolution that has been hidden through the centuries- and the prey that the Club stalks across the world. As they pursue the truth through the narrow streets of Cartagena de Indias and deep into the Colombian jungle, Ben and Laura discover that the Club's members know it by a different name: The Billionaire Suicide Club. Caught in the middle of an existential battle, they are forced to confront what it means to be human- and to be alive. With the body-count mounting up, they race to save the secretive Firestarters, before the Club can hunt them down. But how do you escape from an enemy with infinite resources, for whom despair is power, and death is a way of life? Who can you trust, when the stakes are so high? And who is the mysterious Suicide King? Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's gripping suite of short stories, The Suicide Club, this fast-paced, contemporary technological thriller combines the opulence of the London elite with the world-weariness, danger and style of film noir. The Billionaire Suicide Club is more than a club. And no one leaves it alive.

Then I saw Josephine, sitting with her dweeb of a date, just waiting for a man who could appreciate her lush curves and sharp brain. When she ghosted on me, I shouldn't have been so shocked, but women never walk away from me. Josephine thought she could call the shots - she didn't realize that a Winters man always gets what he wants. And I wanted her.
