Laura Palmer and Jessie Sullivan, co-founders of Pellerin Books, have acquired world English-language rights from Eve White Literary Agency in four books in the ‘Invitation Only’ thrillers: a new luxe destination thriller series by Lucy Milton. The first book in the series, Le Chalet, publishes in paperback, e-book and audiobook on 24th November 2026, with Le Chateau to follow in June 2027.

Le Chalet opens the ‘Invitation Only’ thrillers at the most exclusive address in Verbier: fresh powder outside, log fires inside, vintage champagne on tap. But behind the picture-perfect frosted windows, everyone is lying to someone… A glittering, sexy winter thriller about beautiful people with dark secrets, Le Chalet stakes out fresh territory in one of the hottest categories in commercial fiction. Readers of Foley, Cooper, Clarke, Nikki Smith and Jess Ryder will devour it.

Le Chateau, publishing in summer 2027, takes the Invitation Only format south to a private chateau and vineyard in rural France, where the launch of a new fashion line brings together an ensemble cast of the chic, the beautiful and the dangerous – so perhaps it’s no surprise when a guest is murdered in the tunnels beneath the wine cellar…

Laura and Jessie said: “We both fell into this book and couldn’t stop reading. There’s something so alluring about watching the rich and the beautiful behave appallingly – and get what they deserve when one dies in the snow, and another is accused of his murder. Le Chalet is enticing, delicious, addictive and naughty. We can’t wait for readers to devour it this winter.”

Lucy Milton said: “I love what the team are doing at Pellerin. It’s genuinely author-centric publishing and that’s so refreshing to see. I’m excited to bring my Invitation Only series to a wider audience with Pellerin’s backing.”
