    The second part of the Smith series. 
    A puzzled policeman considers. 
    It’s like the IRA all over again. The IRA and the Krays and the Angry Brigade. Why haven’t they all been looking for this killer, this Stephen Smith? Why isn’t the country on high alert? 
    He discovers why. There are ‘sensitive’ aspects to this case. The public mustn’t be alarmed. In other words, he used to be one of ours and now he’s gone off the rails, got himself the weirdest gang - a posh lawyer couple, an Irish builder, a Croatian stripper, a Cockney chancer and a crazy poet - and a serious amount of cash from a bank robbery in Switzerland, laundered and sequestered who knows where. A highly funded commando unit who are after… what? The report calls them ‘anarchist’. What do anarchists want? Blow everything up? Well when they do, it’s the strangest places. 
    Then there’s the deaths: a dentist found in the waters of Cardiff Bay – shot. The bits of another one, apparently blown up. A woman, executed in a car park. A general assassinated at an English public school. 
    Too much mystery. 
    ‘Something stinks. There’s something about this whole situation that’s not right. None of it fits. You all know it. I know it. But our job is to find and catch the criminals. Nothing else is important here. We are going to get this bastard using old-fashioned police work and then we’ll worry about anything unusual going on. So. I want a life story. I want to know the colour of his underpants and the smell of his farts. And I want it all by the end of the day.’ 
    Should be easy enough, after all, Smith wants to get caught. The question is… why?

    From bestselling author, Mia Heintzelman comes a heart-warming story of heart, humor, and heat in this friends-to-lovers romance about finding love in unexpected places. 
    ​ 
    This contract is entered into by and between Allegra Malone and Damon Dawson. The term of this agreement shall begin immediately and continue through its termination date of never. 
    The terms are as follows: 
    1. Find the bright side when your best friend (the woman you’ve secretly been in love with for 10+ years) finds an engagement ring in her live-in boyfriend’s gym bag. 
    2. When she discovers the ring isn’t for her, and you volunteer to mop up her tears, don’t freak out if you accidentally share a world-shattering kiss. 
    3. Remember she’s your best friend and law firm partner…and a hopeless romantic. Being her rebound isn’t worth risking the only family you have.  
    4. Immediately—rationally—draw up a no-strings agreement, stipulating equal opportunity orgasms. Under no circumstances is PDA or catching (further) feelings allowed. 
    5. If while adding a wedding plus-one clause, the doorbell rings and it’s a moving company with all her belongings, and now you’re going to be roommates, shower. The colder, the better. 
    In consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, both parties agree that if at anytime while forced to live and work together they find themselves falling in love, they will re-read the fine print. 
    Fine Print: Do not fall in love. 
    This contract shall be binding and may not be modified in any manner unless in writing and signed by both parties.

    The intervention of a quadriplegic saved Nguyen Huu Minh from a mugging on the streets of Baltimore while attending Johns Hopkins University. That man’s faith 
    changed Minh’s life. 
    Minh’s new faith brings him into conflict with his father’s business interests in Vietnam and the mysterious powers supporting his father. Estranged from his father 
    and shunned by his family, Minh learns to support himself by working as a translator for Americans coming to Vietnam during the waning years of the war. 
    Finally, with the fall of Vietnam, another man’s intervention provides Minh with what he needs to flee the doomed country. With a boat, a crew, and a group of passengers, including a young French nun, Sister Carlene, and the thirty-five orphans she has charge of, Minh starts his escape to Thailand. 
    But Minh learns that there are some enemies that cannot be fled from; instead, these adversaries must be faced and resisted. He discovers that he is in the middle of a war, not with flesh and blood, but with spiritual powers bent on destroying him and all those seeking escape. 
    Minh discovers what intervention is when he must risk everything to save those he loves. In the process, he experiences the reality of the spiritual war that rages unseen by most. 
    Charles de Andrade’s books draw on places he has lived, people he’s met, friends he’s made, and stories he’s been told.
