Canelo bags 'masterful psychological thriller' in three-book deal from Sophie McKenzie

Canelo has bagged Anything For You, a psychological thriller in a three-book deal from Sophie McKenzie. 

Siân Heap, commissioning editor, acquired world English language rights from Eli Keren at United Agents. Anything For You will be published in mass market paperback and e-book in January 2025. 

The story follows Alison who discovers her 18-year-old daughter Lola is dating an older man, Brendan Zeno. Alison knows how dangerous Brendan can be and is determined to keep the pair apart, however she quickly learns her actions have devastating consequences.

Heap commented: "Anything For You is a masterful psychological thriller about the ripple effects of our secrets and lies. It forces us to wonder how well we really know the people we love and how far we’d go to protect them. Sophie is a professional and brings all of her experience as the original ’Queen of the Teen Thriller’ to Alison and Lola’s relationship."

McKenzie added: "I am so excited to be joining Canelo for three new psychological thrillers. From our first meeting it’s been obvious what a fantastic editor Siân is – she understands what I’m aiming for in my stories and always finds ways to bring out the best in them. My favourite books are the ones where we root for the main character from the start, totally engaged as she embarks on a dramatic journey involving impossible moral choices, devastating revelations and increasing levels of risk and danger. That is the kind of book I’ve tried to write in Anything For You!"
