  Who is leaking secrets to the enemy . . . ? 
   
   
   
  1941 
   
   
   
  Flying Officer Angus Mackennelly is flying over Northern France when his tank is holed and he's forced to crash-land. Luckily, he is picked up by the French Resistance before the enemy can get to him and, after a tense few days moving between safe houses, he escapes back to Blighty. 
   
   
   
  Reunited with his squadron, Angus expects to return to flying duties. However, Squadron Leader Bentley informs him that he's not going to be flying sorties. He is singled out to lead a top-secret mission. The special mission is to conduct a low flying night operation with six blacked out Spitfires to strafe a convoy carrying a top general from the German High Command and assassinate him. 
   
   
   
  Training quickly commences but a spate of unexpected enemy fighter attacks leads the team to suspect that a spy is trying to leak details of the upcoming mission to the Germans. 
   
   
   
  Angus is put on the case to squirrel out the informer and protect the rest of the men from the enemy within. 
   
   
   
  Will Angus succeed in his secret mission? Can he identify the mole? Or will the lives of all the men in Maverick Squadron be compromised . . . ?

  Love You Always - A...

  He’s a storm cloud, a grouchy winemaker in a rec league hockey jersey. I’m a rom-com princess, the persistent ray of sunshine he never saw coming. 
    
  I used to believe in love—the kind that makes your heart race like the last scene of a movie, where the music swells…and the guy chases after the girl after he ruins everything. 
    
  But real life is different. I learned that the hard way—one unanswered text, one almost-love at a time. So, I filled my world with little joys that don’t require a man. A shelf full of paperbacks, novelty coffee mugs, nerdy facts about winemaking. 
    
  And yet, the one thing I’ve always known is that I want to be a mom.  
    
  I’ve completed the adoption forms and propped up my social media image with a fairy tale story worthy of America’s sweetheart. All I need to do is convince the courts that I’ll make a good parent. I’m so close to the life I want, even if it’s not a rom-com dream. 
    
  And then Archer Corbett shows up. Not in some grand or dramatic way—no rain-soaked confession or well-timed orchestral swell. Just a guy, standing there, looking at me like I’m the plot twist he never expected.  
    
  Archer hates small talk, fake smiles, and anything that feels like hope. He’s weighted down by the obligations of running the family winery and following in the footsteps of his father, a man whose work never left time for his kids. So Archer is adamant that he’ll never have kids of his own. 
    
  But I’m not sure this grump is beyond hope. Not when he lifts the hem of my skirt so I don’t trip on it. Not when being with him feels this good. 
    
  Suddenly, I’m gripped with that feeling again—the one I tried so hard to ignore. 
    
  Like maybe, just maybe, love is still worth believing in.

  We don't get a lot of NBA superstars coming through little ol' Pine Hill, Texas. That's why everyone is all in a tizzy over the fact that the USA men's Olympic basketball team will be training here of all places before this year's Summer Games. Rumors about the players have been spreading like wildfire, and there's one man in the middle of it all holding a match. 
   
   
   
  Ben Castillo. NBA champion. Olympic gold medalist. Widely hailed " 
  "King of the Court." 
   
   
   
  The morning he walks into my dingy diner, I have enough sense to keep my head down and go right on wiping tables, pouring coffee, and serving up short stacks. A man who looks like that—superstar or not—has only ever meant trouble, and more trouble is the last thing I need. 
   
   
   
  If anything, he seems drawn to my indifference. His steely gaze pierces me behind the counter. My knees nearly buckle under the weight of his attention. But while Mr. Pretty Boy is probably used to snagging city girls with a smile, this gal is country strong. 
   
   
   
  I won't be some clichéd convenience for him on his way through town. 
  So look over your choices carefully, Benny-boy. We serve up sides of hash browns here, not heartbreak. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Ecclesiastical History of England

  Bede

  Ecclesiastical History of the English People is a historical work by Bede, completed in 731 CE. It is one of the most important sources for early English history and the development of Christianity in Britain. The book traces the history of the English Church from the Roman occupation of Britain up to Bede's own time in the early 8th century. It focuses especially on the spread of Christianity among the Anglo-Saxons and the gradual conversion of various kingdoms. A major portion of the work describes key figures such as St. Augustine of Canterbury, who was sent from Rome to convert the Anglo-Saxons, and important kings like Edwin of Northumbria, whose conversion marked a turning point for Christianity in northern England. Bede also records the famous Synod of Whitby (664 CE), where a major debate was held between Roman and Celtic Christian traditions over the calculation of Easter and other practices. The Roman tradition was ultimately adopted, helping unify the English Church under Roman authority.
