Keegan
SHORTLISTED FOR THE CHARLES TYRWHITT SPORTS BOOK AWARDSA BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE TIMES, DAILY TELEGRAPH, FT AND IRISH TIMES'A marvellous tribute to one of the great characters of English football.' The TimesFrom the author of Klopp, a funny and insightful look at one of Britain's greatest and strangest football greats. He was stranger than he knew - than any of us knew. England captain. Mercurial competitor. Pop star manqué. The Face of Brut 33. Pioneer of the footballers' perm. Twice winner of the Ballon d'Or. Kevin Keegan owned the 1970s. We had never seen his like before. There appeared to be nothing he could fail at. Tracking his career from youth-team player at Scunthorpe to the England manager's job, by way of Liverpool, Newcastle and Hamburg, Keegan considers the extravagant highs of a football man who touched the game with genius, who was never sacked and who came within an ace of triumph as a manager. A story of almost and maybe, of excellence and of failure, it is a story too, perhaps, of the fans' quixotic search for a messiah. Praise for Klopp:'An elegiac memoir [and] a love letter to the great man himself.' The Times'Delightful . . . perfectly captures the man's endearing likeability.' Mail on Sunday

A lány és a herceg 2: A nevelőnő leckéje
Egy férfi, aki habzsolja az életet és a nőket. És egy nevelőnő, aki feladja neki a leckét.
Alexandra Mountbatten egy pillanat alatt elveszített mindent, és kénytelen elvállalni egy lehetetlennek tűnő állást: két vadóc lánykából kell illedelmes, finom hölgyet formálnia.
Hamar rájön, hogy a lányoknak nem vasszigorra, hanem szerető otthonra van szükségük. De hogyan győzhetné meg erről a gyámjukat, Chase Reynaud-t, akit a londoni közéletben a hercegi cím várományosaként ismernek, a magánéletben pedig egymás után omlanak a karjába a nők?
Noha már sokan megpróbálták elérni, hogy megállapodjon, sorra kudarcot vallottak. Alexandrának viszont muszáj valahogy megtalálnia az utat a férfi szívéhez, ám anélkül, hogy közben veszélybe sodorná a sajátját.
Chase egyetlen szabály mentén éli az életét: elköteleződésről szó sem lehet.
Amikor azonban a makacs nevelőnő megpróbálja ,,jó útra téríteni", elhatározza, hogy bebizonyítja neki: őt képtelenség megzabolázni. Leckét pedig ő is tud adni abból, amihez a legjobban ért - a gyönyörből.
Alexandra azonban okos, talpraesett és szenvedélyes. Felülmúlja a férfi várakozásait. Vajon képes lesz őt megváltoztatni, ha egyszer a férfi maga sem hiszi, hogy ez lehetséges?
Brimstone (Tündék és Alkímia 2.)
Kötelesség. Vér. Becsület. Hatalom.
Saeris Fane nem vágyott hatalomra.
Semmi örömét nem leli abban, hogy az egész udvar az ő nevét suttogja.
Sőt, most, hogy a Vér-udvar királynőjévé koronázták, rádöbben:
egy királynőnek nem lehet saját élete. Súlyos teher nehezedik a vállára.
Nevelője és öccse visszavárja őt a szülőföldjén… csakhogy azok a
változások, amelyek erősebbé tették Saerist, bizonyos szempontból
meg is gyengítették: most biztosan meghalna a két perzselő nap alatt.
Ez pedig azt jelenti, hogy ismét mást kell küldenie maga helyett…
Kingfisher hadseregeket győzött le és hátborzongató szörnyűségeket élt
túl, de a Zilvarenbe vezető út Carrion Swift oldalán talán kifog rajta.
Az a fickó egyszerűen képtelen csendben maradni. Miközben teljesíteniük
kell a küldetést, Ezüstváros szűk sikátoraiban rejtett veszélyek várnak
rájuk, és Fishernek meg kell fékeznie a csempészt is, ha újra látni akarja a párját.
Sötétség borult Yveliára. Saeris és Fisher tűzön, vízen
és kénkövön keresztül küzd, hogy megmentsék a világot.

Love at First Bite
I mean hey, what's the worst that could happen? Ok fine, the worst that could happen is that I didn't imagine those fangs after all…
Squeaky clean good girl Lucy Partridge is a sucker for heartwarming tales and happy endings. So a weekend reporting on the Whitby Goth Weekend is well outside her comfort zone. As is sharing her tiny annexe accommodation with all six feet three inches of bad boy bar owner Liam Bramwell. And that's before she discovers that he's an actual living - or, er, 'undead' - vampire!
Logically, Lucy knows she should run the other way, but the reporter in her can tell there's more to Bram than his fangs. It's clearly time for this good girl to take a walk on the dark side, and if that path leads her straight into Bram's muscular tattooed arms?
Well, a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do…

Elizabeth II
As daughter, wife, mother and Sovereign, Elizabeth II lived fascinating parallel lives, both in private and in public. But she remained something of a mystery – beloved, even revered, modest yet daunting, naturally shy but globally recognizable, inscrutable and also authentic. She was grand but so familiar that we felt we knew her. Yet we would always be left asking the same question: ‘What’s she really like?’ No one has written more authoritatively on Elizabeth II than Robert Hardman. Who better to answer that question?
The only biographer to have interviewed all the senior members of the Royal Family, some of them several times, Hardman has crafted a gripping story of drama, devotion, triumph, tragedy, humour and conflict; of an outwardly stoical, inwardly complex woman whose love of family, love of country and duty to the Crown might pull her in different directions but never derailed her; a global stateswoman who wielded her great authority with charm and understatement.
Elizabeth II will explain why she was not merely the most famous woman in the world. She was one of history’s all-time greats.

Sinners Consumed
My world is on fire, and I'm in love with the girl who struck the match.
Blood on my hands and a body at my feet only confirm what I've always known - Penny Price was destined to be my ruin.
The gentleman I pretended to be is long gone. My sins bleed through the fabric of my life, staining everything she touches.
I tried to walk away. Failed.
Tried to destroy her. Failed again.
Now we're both burning, slow dancing in the flames.
I tell myself I'll rise from the ashes once she's gone -
but I can't let her go.
And Penny… she'd have to run to the ends of the earth to escape me.
