Sinopsis

‘Rescuing Richard’ is a breathless quest that sweeps the reader from the blood-soaked battlefields of Zululand to the corridors of power in Regency London. Richard is astonished when Shaka appoints him to his inner council, where he vies for influence with his friend, Napoleon Bonaparte. Drawn to a feisty, intelligent young Zulu woman, Richard wrestles with his conscience while confronting betrayal and colonial adventurers exploiting the land he is sworn to protect. Having helped equip the Zulu army with artillery, he is sent as ambassador to the court of King George, where he defends Zulu interests while trying to help an old acquaintance escape an abusive relationship.

    THEY’RE EACH OTHER’S BEST HOPE FOR REDEMPTION—AND LOVE 
     
    Ex-con Seth Zimmerman has spent the last three years making amends by helping the vulnerable in his former Amish community. Lately, this mission includes calling on Tabitha Yoder, whose divorce from her abusive husband has isolated her from the community. Even though she never comes out of her house to talk to him, Seth knows she watches him from the window while he chops wood, clears her driveway, and drops off food.  
     
    An uneasy friendship is just starting to take hold between them when small gifts begin to appear at Tabitha’s home—gifts that can only be from her ex-husband.  
     
    Seth might be Tabitha’s only hope at maintaining her hard-won freedom from the man whose violent outbursts had almost cost her life. But coming to her rescue might mean Seth ends up behind bars once again.  
     
    “Shelley Shepard Gray pens a story of love, hate, and forgiveness that will touch readers’ hearts and stay with them long after they finish the last page. Gray is a master storyteller who creates characters that are so alive they feel like good friends. My highest recommendation.”—Nancy Mehl, author of the Ryland and St. Clair series

    Richard Barham Middleton was born on the 28th October 1882 in Staines, Middlesex. 
    His education was primarily at Cranbrook School in Kent before he began work as a clerk, in 1901, at the Royal Exchange Assurance Corporation in London.  There he struggled with constraints and boundaries and by night he took to a bohemian lifestyle.   
    Middleton moved into rooms in Blackfriars and joined the New Bohemians club where his literary contacts grew. 
    He became an editor at Vanity Fair where he told a fellow editor, the notorious Frank Harris, that he wanted to pursue a career as a poet.  Shortly afterwards Harris published Middleton’s poem ‘The Bathing Boy’. 
    As an author he is most remembered for his short ghost stories. 
    Richard Middleton died on 1st December 1911.  He was 29.

    Since when does Aaron Olson have abs like that? I haven’t seen him since high school, but now I find myself desperate to see much more of him. 
    Sarah Anderson's plan for the Cupid's Crush event at the local bar, High Five, is straightforward: enjoy some playful banter and score a free drink. After a decade on the West Coast, Sarah’s still adjusting to life back in her small Wisconsin hometown, surrounded by familiar faces—until one of them completely catches her off guard. Aaron Olson, the once scrawny high school wrestler, is now tending bar shirtless with fluffy angel wings strapped to his back, revealing a physique that is distracting in the best way. 
    What starts as light-hearted banter turns into a flirtatious game of cat and mouse, where Sarah learns that you shouldn’t judge someone by who they were in high school—because they might just surprise you in the most irresistible ways. 
    In this flirty and steamy Valentine’s themed novella, discover the thrill of seeing an old friend in a whole new light, and watch sparks fly as past perceptions are shattered and new attractions take hold. 
    (This is Book #2 in an interconnected series. It is encouraged, but not essential, to read Santa's Coming before reading Cupid's Shot.)

    Sail away to beautiful Croatia for summer sun, sparkling turquoise seas and a will-they-won’t-they romance you won’t be able to put down! 
    When no-nonsense, down-to-earth Maddie Wilcox is offered the chance to work on a luxury yacht for the summer, she can’t say no. Yes she’ll be waiting on the posh guests… But island-hopping around the Adriatic sea will more than make up for it – especially when Nick, her best friend Nina’s brother, is one of them. 
    Sparks fly when they meet on board and Maddie can’t believe self-entitled jerk Nick is really related to Nina. But in a secret, picture-perfect cove, away from the real world, Maddie and Nick discover they might have more in common than they realise… 
    In this romantic comedy fiction, the holiday setting serves as a backdrop to the blossoming friendship between Maddie and Nick. Their humorous interactions and shared experiences make this a top pick for a summer read. 
    For fans of Gillian Harvey (Midnight in Paris), Rachael Lucas (Christmas at Applemore), Jessica Redland (Sunshine After the Rain), Heidi Swain (Best Summer Ever), and Alison Sherlock (Coming Home to Maple Tree Lodge).
