If Lord Donovan Trent had his way, he would spend his days carelessly wooing the women of London society. Instead, he found himself banished to the English countryside of Cornwall, forced by the decrees of his father's will to run his family's tin mines and find a country bride. The last thing the handsome lord needed was a local lass sticking her nose into his affairs, but that seemed to be exactly what the parson's daughter Corisande Easton had in mind.

I thought he bought me to save me… but he’s keeping me for himself.

It was a girl’s night out gone wrong. Like some awful horror movie, my friends and I were grabbed in a dark parking lot and shoved into the back of a van.

Coming from powerful families, we thought we were untouchable.

We thought wrong.

Our captors trapped us, violated us, and put us up for sale on the black market.

Johnathan was sent to buy me so his boss, Lucifer, could have leverage over my father.

He was supposed to save me, protect me, and return me.

Not claim me and keep me for himself…

"Life’s for real an’ you got to get on with it."

Rosie Goodison is not one to shy away from life’s problems. Whether it’s finding work or challenging injustice, Rosie squares her shoulders, sets her chin high and faces it full on.

Born at the end of the nineteenth century, in the rural south of England and sent into service aged just twelve, Rosie quickly discovers that many good people spend their lives toiling for very little reward, whilst others ‘have it all’.

She decides it won’t be like that for her. Why can’t she ride in a car? Why can’t she work when she’s pregnant? Why can’t she live in a nice flat? Why can’t she be an artist’s model?

Whilst working as a housekeeper for two upper-class boys, Rosie starts to learn more and more about the world, gleaned from overheard conversations and newspapers left lying around. This triggers an ongoing thirst for knowledge, which shapes her views, informs her decisions and influences her future.

Rosie aspires to have a better life than that of her parents: better living conditions, better working conditions and pay, better education for her children, to be able to vote, to be able to control how many children she has…

Without realising it, this young woman is blazing a trail for all those who are to come after.

Whilst working in London, Rosie meets her sweetheart Jim, but the The Great War puts paid to their plans for the future, and matters worsen afterwards, as she, along with the rest of society, tries to deal with the horrors and losses.

This heart-warming story follows the events of the early twentieth century – the impact and horrors of WW1, the financial crisis and the rapid social and political changes that took place.

All that remains of Rosie now is a quartet of paintings in an art gallery. The artist, now famous but the model, unnamed and forgotten; nobody of consequence.

But everybody has a life story. Everybody leaves some kind of mark on this world.

Everybody’s somebody.

Eden Hunter has a little secret that could get her killed. Again.

Paradise isn't all it's cracked up to be. Reaper Eden Hunter would know: she spends her days working for a local vampire warlord, harvesting the souls of the recently departed. But even bad situations can get worse. And when a body washes up on shore near Eden's secluded beachfront villa, the former con artist finds herself under investigation by the FBI.

But Eden's not concerned about being charged with murder. She's got a bigger secret she needs to keep quiet. It's why she's living miles from anyone else, even on an island that appears on no map. If that secret gets out, the fate awaiting her is far worse than life in prison. Too bad the FBI won't stop digging until it might be too late...

Rain Dance is the first book in the all-new Sunshine & Scythes urban fantasy series starring (semi) reformed con artist turned Reaper (and occasional FBI consultant) Eden Hunter. Each novel can be enjoyed on its own without reading the others, but there is an ongoing series arc.

Can a life-long friendship survive a secret baby? If Grace confesses now, she’ll wreck Sam’s happy marriage.

Grace, Sam and Dixie have been friends forever. But Grace has a heart-breaking secret. Twenty years ago, accidentally pregnant after one drunken night with Sam, she gave up their baby for adoption. By then, Sam and Dixie had announced their wedding and there was no way Grace, a penniless student, could raise a baby alone. Believing it was best for everyone, Grace kept the adoption hidden and has lived with the guilt and sadness ever since.

Her love-life has been a disaster and her dreaded fortieth birthday looms. Then she receives a letter out of the blue. Her long-lost daughter has traced her. More than anything, Grace longs to meet her. She hopes to atone for abandoning her baby.

The girl is searching for answers. She’s curious about her father. But Sam and Dixie have a son and if Grace confesses to a secret baby now, she’ll threaten their happy family. It would surely wreck their marriage. Grace loves Dixie like a sister but how could their friendship survive such a betrayal? Yet does Grace have a choice?

Grace has always found solace at faraway Penrowan, Dixie’s adored family home in picturesque Cornwall, a place of stormy cliffs and windswept beaches. But when she travels there to break the news, Grace discovers Dixie and Sam in turmoil. As the week edges towards her dreaded milestone birthday, she finds it ever more impossible to speak up and make everything worse.

Desperate for a distraction, she’s drawn to Danny, a sexy odd-job man with secrets of his own. But far from helping each other, they plunge the family even closer to disaster, unleashing years of simmering jealousy and hurt. Surely there can be no second chances? How can a future be built on the unbearable quicksand of secrets and lies?

Set in the wilds of Poldark-country, an engrossing saga with a sprinkling of spice. If you love an absorbing real-life drama, you’ll enjoy the impossible dilemmas of three friends who realise they don’t know each other at all. Perfect for fans of Paige Toon, Freya North and Jojo Moyes.

10 years ago, I lost her.
Now only Charlotte can melt my cold heart.

I made my billions, and then I built my fortress.
I was alone on my mountain.
Till she came.
I saved her, but she can't remember her past.
And I can't forget mine.
The winter storm trapped us together.
But I'll keep her safe and warm.
With every caress, I'll show her body what it craves.
With every kiss, I'll mark her as my woman.
I know someone hurt her.
And that b@stard wants her back.
He doesn't know who the f*ck he's messing with.
Charlotte is mine now, and I'll protect her no matter what.

But will she stay mine when her memories return?

*** This is a full length novel with a happily ever after, no cliffhanger, no cheating, and plenty of steam. ***

On 20 June 1887 Queen Victoria celebrated fifty years on the throne.

Victoria, Queen and Empress was released in the Jubilee year as a record and celebration of Victoria’s reign.

G Holden Pike commemorates the Queen’s life through personal and public events during her years on the throne, with the support of notable sources.

What was the Queen like as a person?

How did she treat her family?

How did she treat the public?

With access to Queen Victoria’s diary, Holden Pike shows us an insight into the Queen and Empress’s life that is rarely touched upon.

Holden Pike covers topics such as the Queen’s education, through to Prince Albert’s death, and finally to the Golden Jubilee, alongside other contextually relevant aspects of the Victorian era.

Victoria, Queen and Empress is a distinguished commemorative memoir with plenty of factual reference.

Godfrey Holden Pike (1836-1910) was the sub-editor of The Sword and The Trowel for twenty years. He contributed numerous articles to the magazine, alongside penning many historical and biographical works such as Oliver Cromwell and His Times, and From Slave to College President.

Blind since birth, Corrie Madison relies on her other sharpened senses in her job as a chiropractor. Never did she imagine she’d have to depend on them to identify a killer. But when a man enters her practice, murdering everyone in his path, Corrie is the only witness—putting her directly in the killer’s crosshairs.

Officer Quint Axton wasn’t looking for love, or even a relationship, until he meets Corrie. Beautiful and brave, resilient and intelligent, she’s everything Quint wants—if he can keep her alive long enough to explore their mutual attraction. The threats on Corrie’s life are escalating. Surely a blind person is helpless against a ruthless killer?

Hardly. Corrie is about to prove that disabled does not equal defenseless.

**Justice for Corrie is the 3rd book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

Bound by blood and magic.

Three elite fighters ascend to the rank of Dragonsworn, guards dedicated to protecting the royal family. But will finding love challenge their sense of duty and set their world on fire?

Book One: Smoulder
Dragon shifter Rafe leads the Dragonsworn against their ancient enemies: the dragon slayers. When one infiltrates his lair, her scent and curves threaten to ruin him.

Book Two: Singe
Brody's mission to reclaim the abducted heir takes a turn when his connection to a rival group of dragon shifters comes in the shape of a tantalizingly curvy, gorgeous woman--who just happens to be his undeniably fated mate.

Book Three: Scorch
With a rogue dragon threatening the city, the last thing on Levi's mind is a mate. But when he encounters a curvy and fiery woman on the run from the monster in the skies, he can't resist.

I just found out the man of my wet dreams is my ex-boyfriend's long lost brother - and it's screwing with my head.

The moment I saw Michael, I was instantly turned on.
He's everything I've ever wanted - but never had.

Michael and I met when I was a complete mess.
After supporting my ex through years of med school...
He progressed in his career, and kicked me to the curb.

I packed my bags for a fresh new start.
And started a new life in a new town.

And then ... I met Michael.
A fantasy come true.
Hot. Charismatic. Passionate.
The sexual tension between us was just unbearable.

But, my ex just gave me the most shocking news - and it's blowing my mind away.  Can I really love my ex-boy friend's brother?

Dear Reader,
This book comes with a TWIST that will have your panties in a knot -- and its NOT what you think it is. I promise... you won't be disappointed!
Love,

Jessica Norton is a woman on the run, a sensational lead item on the nightly news, accused of the murders of four of her fellow staffers of a U.S. Senator. Jon Harper is a grieving father whose life has crumbled over the death of his young daughter. When Jon picks up Jess hitchhiking on a deserted Texas highway one rainy night, it pitches him into the middle of a massive conspiracy, one that threatens the very future of the United States.

From having nothing to live for, Jon suddenly finds himself the protector of someone with everything to live for, someone desperate to uncover the conspiracy that has ruined her life. Staying two steps ahead of the police, and barely one step ahead of the powerful organization that wants Jess dead, Jon discovers that Jess is harboring a secret of her own, a strange inner "voice" providing cryptic clues for them to follow.

Part political thriller and part chase novel, Wisdom Spring takes readers on a fast-paced, suspenseful ride along the highways of the U.S. and Canada, into the far reaches of the Alaskan wilderness. Along the way, the two unlikely heroes transition from helpless prey into proficient hunters as the mysterious clues eventually lead them to a violent final confrontation with corrupt forces at the highest levels of government.

HE DID ALL THE RIGHT THINGS--AND THEN THE BODIES STARTED PILING UP... The Dirty Lowdown wrote: "Nick James has nailed it. The all too dark side of our legal industry, and the type of character we're all too afraid to admit exists!" It looks like disbarred attorney Bobby Custer has won the lottery. After serving four years of a seven-year sentence, he gets an offer he can’t refuse – from the feds. They just want him to keep an eye out for shady goings-on at one of the most prestigious law firms in the city. And suddenly he’s out – out of jail, but also totally cast out of his old life: shunned by family and friends, working the hallways and back alleys of the legal game and finding plenty of shady dealings to keep an eye on.

He's psychotic, narcissistic, psychopathic, greedy, unprincipled ... and always charming.

He did all the right things -- went to law school, got a job in a good law firm -- right up until the conviction for “a minor dalliance with a trust fund”. You could almost feel for the guy – a young man tempted by the high life could make a mistake he regrets and end up losing everything. And a guy who’ll help you hide a body could just be a good friend. But as the bodies start piling up, you have to wonder if there’s something about Bobby that’s just not … right.

Chilling and action-packed, Corridor Man exposes a dark, violent undercurrent just beneath the surface of “perfectly legal and above-board”.

A combination of Breaking Bad and House of Cards, Corridor Man series are a collection of sinister, disturbing thrillers that are bound to keep you awake at night.

Books 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in the Corridor Man series.

If one baby can change your life, how about three?

Career-minded Amity Winters has no time for love and marriage; a respected public relations executive, and one of the best in Los Angeles, she’s never put much thought to starting a family. Yearning for a fresh challenge, she accepts an unusual offer: fly to the Middle-Eastern nation of Al-Mabbar, and improve the public image of Sheikh Aziz Al Arin, a free-living monarch and notorious playboy in need of a publicity facelift.

To Amity’s surprise, Sheikh Aziz isn’t anything like she expected – charming, suave, wholly irresistible - and the once ever-professional executive can’t help but to fall for her royal boss! Passions that burn so hot can’t be denied, and after one fateful encounter, Amity knows she can’t go on working for the gorgeous, charismatic Sheikh.

Returning to the States, Amity thinks she can put their fling behind her and get back to living her life, but little does she know, it’s already too late. She soon discovers she’s pregnant, with not one, not two, but three little bundles of joy!

This is a standalone Sheikh romance novel from best-selling author Holly Rayner. It contains a guaranteed HEA, and a tale of romance that will capture your heart.

We are going to lift the curtain, and present to the gaze of the Public many a varied scene in the strange drama of London life and experience…

In this collection of sketches, Charles Manby Smith gives us privileged and unique insight into the nineteenth-century metropolis and all its varied curiosities, allowing us peek behind the scenes at London’s roguery.

Not unlike Charles Dickens’ Sketches by Boz, Manby Smith’s Curiosities of London Life presents us with detailed and lively illustrations of a vast cast of characters, from crossing-sweeps and organ grinders to dog-stealers and drink doctors, to specific individuals such as the Blind Fiddler and the Label-printer.

It is the sheer scope of these sketches of Victorian lives and societal issues that ensures Manby Smith’s work the status of one of the most important contributions to our depiction of nineteenth-century life in the lower echelons of London’s society, making it a must-read for lovers of Victorian Britain.

Charles Manby Smith, (1804-1884) born in Devon at the turn of the nineteenth-century, apprenticed and eventually worked as a printmaker, whilst anonymously publishing articles in regular periodicals that focused on the lives of the London poor. Before long, Manby Smith abandoned his trade to live solely by his pen. He published his unique observations of London and its oddities as successful collections, as well as an autobiographical work that focused on his struggles as a young and poor apprentice.
