About the book
1982. The Falklands War ignites, and British Intelligence needs every advantage it can get. Enter Gabrielle Legrand, a skilled operative tasked with seducing an Argentine official to gather secrets. What begins as duty soon twists into something far more dangerous: love.
As the war nears its end, Argentina makes a desperate gamble—purchasing French-made Exocet missiles through ruthless arms broker Felix Donner. If delivered, the weapons could turn defeat into sudden victory. Gabrielle alone has the chance to stop the deal, but Donner’s motives extend far beyond money. His scheme could spark a global firestorm.
From the New York Times–bestselling master of espionage Jack Higgins, Exocet is a high-stakes thriller of war, betrayal, and the price of choosing between love and country.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Kill a man and you're a murderer. Kill a million and you're a statesman. Dirk should have killed more people.
Dirriken Friedel used his aristocratic connections to rescue his troops. He didn’t plan on starting a war or killing them himself. Now he spends his days in jail, waiting for an assassin sent by his dead officers families to end his misery.
When he’s broken out by off-duty marines he has a chance to start over, if he’s worthy. During his ramshackle escape he collects a broken-down trading ship, a bitter former army officer, a genetically altered religious fanatic, a runaway ingenue, a sham engineer, and a murderous femme fatal. Pursed by a fanatical imperial tribune bent on bloody justice, can he keep the crew from killing each other, the ship from exploding, and himself from the bottom of a bottle. Or would it be easier just to give up?
If you like Galactic Empires, honorable enemies, and snappy dialog, this one’s for you.

'Another warm and witty read perfect to curl up on the sofa and immerse yourself in. I love the Macintosh style!' Reader review
Lily Holmes is ready for a fresh start. And there’s no better place to begin again than the idyllic seaside town of Marram Bay.
All Lily wants to do is focus on making her new deli a success and ensuring her son’s happiness. Not the postcard creeping out of her handbag, and definitely not finding a new man in her life!
But this isn’t going to be as easy as she first thought. The town is in uproar about the city girl who’s dared to join them and she’s fighting a battle at every turn.
Perhaps with a little help from the gorgeous cider farmer next door, she may be able to win them over, but her past secrets threaten to ruin everything …

About the book
Demons aren’t just myths. They’re here—lurking in shadows, attaching themselves to us, feeding on fear and negativity. Rachel Stavis knows, because she can see them. And she’s the only non-denominational exorcist in the world.
For years, Rachel denied her gift, dismissing the spirits she saw as imagination. But when she embraced her calling, she began helping thousands—children, celebrities, politicians—cleansing them of the entities that tormented their lives.
In Sister of Darkness, Stavis reveals her extraordinary journey from reluctant psychic to fearless exorcist. Along the way, she introduces the entities she battles, the Spirit Guides and Ancestors who aid her, and the real dangers that come with her work. Both terrifying and illuminating, this memoir peels back the veil on a hidden world.

Helen Fairfax is a ferry pilot and the mother of Peter, aged six.

Now the Germans are about to launch the V-2 against London, and MI6 is desperate to get its hands on an undamaged prototype of the rocket to discover how it might be defeated.

But after a successful landing, they find themselves pulled into another mission. Parents beg her to fly their kids to safety, far from Nazi squads that have begun kidnapping children. It will mean defying military regulations—but that is far from the only risk she will take when she agrees to this unofficial rescue operation . . .

About the book
Now a major motion picture: So Cold the River is a chilling, supernatural tale "guaranteed to put the cold finger down your spine" (Michael Connelly).
It started with a beautiful woman and a challenge. As a gift for her husband, Alyssa Bradford approaches Eric Shaw to make a documentary about her father-in-law, Campbell Bradford, a 95-year-old billionaire whose past is wrapped in mystery. Eric grabs the job even though there are few clues to the man's past -- just the name of his hometown and an antique water bottle he's kept his entire life.
In Bradford's hometown, Eric discovers an extraordinary history -- a glorious domed hotel where movie stars, presidents, athletes, and mobsters once mingled, and hot springs whose miraculous mineral water cured everything from insomnia to malaria. Neglected for years, the resort has been restored to its former grandeur just in time for Eric's stay.
Just hours after his arrival, Eric experiences a frighteningly vivid vision. As the days pass, the frequency and intensity of his hallucinations increase and draw Eric deeper into the town's dark history. He discovers that something besides the hotel has been restored -- a long-forgotten evil that will stop at nothing to regain its lost glory. Brilliantly imagined and terrifyingly real, So Cold the River is a tale of irresistible suspense with a racing, unstoppable current.
