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.

With unprecedented access to Huang, award-winning investigative journalist Stephen Witt takes us inside Nvidia to tell the definitive story of the greatest technology company of our times. It is the astonishing story of renegade engineers and Silicon Valley disrupters, of fearless entrepreneurs and one revolutionary leader with an extraordinarily singular vision.
Face Off
I never really felt like I had a home. But with Emmy next to me, I think home is wherever she is . . .
Emmy Hartwell has waited for a spot on an NHL roster since she became a professional hockey player, and this season, she'll finally get a chance to showcase her talents with the struggling DC Stars.
Maverick Miller is the best player in the league, but he's never had a winning record. Team captain and desperate to turn things around, he agrees to play nice with the fiery new left-winger even though they're total opposites.
After a night of explosive tension that ends in bed, Emmy and Maverick swear it'll be a one-time thing - just enough to clear the air so they can focus on their game. It's meaningless, she insists, because she doesn't date hockey players, and he's a notorious playboy who doesn't date at all. But 'just once' quickly becomes again and again, and while they promise their friends-with-benefits setup will end with the season, their chemistry off the ice proves impossible to ignore ...
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.
