A gripping rite of passage story that chronicles a young sailor's sudden promotion to captaincy during a cursed voyage. Calm seas and a fever-stricken crew turn the ship into a stagnant purgatory where the boundaries between youth and maturity dissolve. It is a profound exploration of leadership, endurance, and the weight of newfound responsibility.
Tommy West is the finest Elvis Presley tribute in the North West of England. At least, that’s what is says on his van. Off stage however, his life is a mess. He can’t pay his rent, his child maintenance is crippling him, and his old Bedford needs new tyres. Tommy is broke, drinks too much Guinness, smokes too much weed and is frightened of his own shadow. So, as Tommy is such a delicate soul, you may ask why, on the first day of lockdown, he finds himself on his way to Folkstone in a borrowed fruit and veg van in the company of a psychotic Rangers fan, a sex starved blonde, a cross dressing navigator and an Afghan slave? Why indeed? All Shook Up is an irreverent look at modern life and pokes a rather sharp stick at political correctness in all its forms.Voir livre
Against the wishes of her stepfather, Mary Sutherland has become engaged to Hosmer Angel. On the morning of their wedding Hosmer elicits a promise that Mary will remain faithful to him "even if something quite unforeseen" occurs, then mysteriously disappears en route to the church. Holmes deduces that Hosmer was Mary's stepfather in disguise, the charade a bid to keep Mary a spinster and thus maintain access to her inheritance. Holmes does not reveal the truth to Mary because "There is danger for him who taketh the tiger cub, and danger also for whoso snatches a delusion from a woman"; he had already advised her to put the matter behind her, though she responded that Hosmer "shall find me ready when he comes back."Voir livre

New to the Pittsburgh Titans but no stranger to relentless ambition, North Paquette knows exactly how to put in the work to ensure the win. But this time, the stakes are personal because the game isn’t just on the ice. Life as a member of the Pittsburgh Titans is pretty freaking fantastic. I live in one of the best cities around, get paid to play the game I love and enjoy all the perks of being a professional hockey player. While many of those perks are because of who I am, one in particular is because of who I know. Farren Abrams wasn’t on my radar until she came to town to visit her brother Rafferty. She’s smart, sarcastic, sexy as hell and can talk hockey like a pro. So when a night out with the team became a drunken hookup with Farren, there were zero complaints from yours truly. We had our fun and then she went back home—no harm, no foul. Now she’s moved to Pittsburgh permanently and while she’s still looking for some fun, I’m starting to look for more. The more time I spend with Farren the more I like her, but to say she’s relationship averse is an understatement. Something in her past has caused her to head for the hills whenever someone gets too close, but she shuts down whenever I push for details. When she rejects my attempts to take this thing to the next level, I’m forced to seek help from none other than Rafferty, who has no idea I’m banging his little sister. With his assistance, I set out to do the one thing none of those chumps in Farren’s past have taken the time to do—help her face her demons and give her something worth staying for.Voir livre
