SEVERSKÁ KRIMI Z OPRAVDOVÉHO SEVERU Ropná pole na severu Aljašky patří k nejdrsnějším místům na planetě a práce na nich, třebaže dobře placená, není ani snadná, ani příjemná. Tma, zima, sníh a k tomu civilizace tisíc kilometrů daleko. Není divu, že krédo těžařů zní: Po pořádné dřině pořádná zábava. Před alkoholem a hazardem vedení obvykle přivírá oči, ale nad sérií podezřelých předávkování už Royal Petroleum Company rukou mávnout nemůže. Nejde totiž jen o zdraví zaměstnanců, ale především o bezpečnost celého regionu. Společnost najme soukromou vyšetřovatelku Kate Shugakovou, aby v utajení zjistila, kdo a jakým způsobem zásobuje těžaře kokainem. A to se dealerovi pochopitelně líbit nebude. Obzvlášť když Kate přijde na to, že drogy nejsou ani zdaleka to nejlukrativnější zboží, které pašuje. Nejnávykovější látkou ze všech jsou totiž peníze a i ten, kdo jich má dost, chce vždycky víc

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
In September 1941, a young American woman strides up the steps of a hotel in Lyon, Vichy France. Her papers say she is a journalist. Her wooden leg is disguised by a determined gait and a distracting beauty. She is there to spark the resistance.
By 1942 Virginia Hall was the Gestapo's most urgent target, having infiltrated Vichy command, trained civilians in guerrilla warfare and sprung soldiers from Nazi prison camps. The first woman to go undercover for British SOE, her intelligence changed the course of the war - but her fight was still not over.
This is a spy history like no other, telling the story of the hunting accident that disabled her, the discrimination she fought and the secret life that helped her triumph over shocking adversity.

The Brand of Silence
Excerpt:Now the fog was clearing and the mist was lifting, and the bright sunshine was struggling to penetrate the billows of damp vapor and touch with its glory the things of the world beneath. In the lower harbor there still was a chorus of sirens and foghorns, as craft of almost every description made way toward the metropolis or out toward the open sea.The Manatee, tramp steamer with rusty plates and rattling engines and a lurch like that of a drunken man, wallowed her way in from the turbulent ocean she had fought for three days, her skipper standing on the bridge and inaudibly giving thanks that he was nearing the end of the voyage without the necessity for abandoning his craft for an open boat, or remaining to go down with the ship after the manner of skippers of the old school.

She’s going to make certain he survives his inheritance—and the only way to do that is to help him catch the murderer!? ? ? ? ?"I read straight through the night. I kept telling myself that I needed to put it down and get some sleep, but it was so interesting and exciting that I just had to see what happened next. Finally, at 7am, I read the last word and thought 'Wow, just wow.'"~ Barbara @ NetGalleyLength: Full-length novel of 85,000 wordsSensuality level: A Regency romance with steamy love scenes *Winner of the 2019 Romance Writers of New Zealand Long Romance of the Year Award**Winner of the 2019 Romance Writers of New Zealand Best Overall Romance of the Year Award*Q & A with the authorHow would you describe this series?It's Regency England with passion, danger, adventure, humor, romance—and a dash of magic. The stories are emotional, but not sweet. There’s sex, and my heroes do swear at times!Hang on. Did you say magic?I did. But don't worry—the books are first and foremost historical romances. Only a few characters have magic, and it’s a deep, dark secret, and no one else knows.But … do magic and Regency England go together?Definitely! Many years ago I read Sorcery and Cecelia (or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot) by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer, and totally loved it and ever since then I’ve thought that Regency England and magic go very well together.How would you describe your writing?Several reviewers have likened my writing to Georgette Heyer, which is the hugest compliment ever. I adore Georgette Heyer! She’s why I write historical romance, and I reread her books over and over. (If you’ve not read The Grand Sophy, please do so!) I’ve also had readers compare my writing to Courtney Milan and Mary Balogh, which are also massive compliments.What order should I read the series in?Each book, whether a novel or novella, can be read as a standalone, but many readers prefer to read them in order.
