Sphere scoops BookToker Tierney Page’s London Hearts series in a global Hachette deal

Hachette branches on three continents have inked a three-book deal for BookToker Tierney Page’s “steamy” romance series London Hearts. The first title in the series, The Other Brother, was originally self-published in January 2025; Hachette will now publish it in all formats globally in mid-2025, with books two and three to follow. 

Hachette Australia publisher Sophie Hamley acquired the books directly from Melbourne-based Page, who is known on TikTok as tierney.reads; Hamley will be spearheading the project in the Australian and New Zealand markets. Elisha Lundin, senior commissioning editor at Little, Brown imprint Sphere, acquired UK and Commonwealth rights from Hachette Australia. North American rights, meanwhile, were picked up by Junessa Viloria at the Grand Central Publishing commercial fiction list Forever.  

The Other Brother begins with April, who is deeply in love with her fiancé Lucas. The two “have it all: the house, the cat, and the promise of a future full of possibilities”. But Lucas’ secret is discovered and everything falls apart. Some time later, a still-reeling April bumps into complicated, intense musician James – who just happens to be Lucas’ sibling. Could she end up falling for the other brother?

Lundin said: “The Other Brother completely stole my heart. It’s not just a love story but a powerful exploration of choice, regret and the forbidden pull of the one person we shouldn’t want. Tierney is a real talent with wit, humour and an extraordinary gift for storytelling. I’m thrilled to be partnering with Hachette Australia and Forever to share this unforgettable novel with readers worldwide.”
