Who will save them from the gallows?
England, 1685. Decades after the end of the civil war, the country is once again divided when a pretender to the throne incites rebellion against King James II. Angered, the king orders every captured rebel to be hanged, drawn and quartered.

As the country braces for carnage, the formidable Lady Jayne Harrier and her enigmatic son, assisted by the reclusive daughter of a local magistrate, contrive ways to save men from the gallows.

Secrets are kept and surprising friendships formed during the dark days of the Bloody Assizes, in a dangerous gamble to thwart a brutal king's thirst for vengeance...
'Fascinating ... told with the masterful skill of a true storyteller' Anne O'Brien
'An immersive joy that will stand the test of time' Elizabeth Chadwick

    RB McGehee, second-tier reporter with Global Press's two-man Edinburgh bureau, files a couple of paragraphs for the US wire agency and expects to hear nothing further.

    The story, however, refuses to go away. And McGehee – risking life, love and career – is entangled in a desperate race against time to solve the riddle of what happened to the experimental drilling platform Sligachan 6.
    S6: AN RB MCGEHEE SCOOP follows McGehee's investigations as he visits oil companies, government offices and whistle-blowers. Closed doors turn to violent responses the closer McGehee gets to the truth.

    Lincoln James Legacy: War Child is the long awaited sequel to Olivia's Hope released in 2018. War Child is not so much about war itself, in fact, there is very little actual war within the pages, but it is about surviving after the war. Even years and decades later. It's about good soldiers and innocent civilians, especially children recovering from the unseen wounds and deep scars left behind after witnessing the brutality of war. The insults of your mind and heart, seen and experienced, especially from the perspective of an innocent little girl. 
    It’s about wolves and sheep and the quiet, unassuming sheepdogs of the world that try to keep the wolves at bay. 
    It's about Love and Joy and the kind of Friendship that we all dream about and desperately desire. It's about loss and grief that no one is immune to. Some of us bear more of that burden than others. It’s about tradition and honoring those that have gone before you. It's about being completely content in your misery. Then, Life comes along and drags you kicking and screaming back into the sunshine. When the wonderful light first hits your eyes, you blink a couple of times because you aren't used to it. Then you smile and suddenly wonder, "Why did I wait so long?" 
    Murder, Romance, Weddings and War 
    Seth and Jenny ride the roller coaster of uncertainty and joy between having the twins, discovering their babies were already named and finally, finding out who the real mothers are? 
    Long ago, on a snatch and grab mission, Link and his elite Dagger unit stumbled across a starving, ragged little girl. Now, years later and living in America, Celia still can't shake the nightmares of the war. Empty and broken inside, she trusts no one. 
    Then, along comes Jesse, Link’s son. He is different from anyone Celia has ever met. Infuriating yet… interesting. Does she know that Jesse is the son of the man that saved her? When Jesse gets arrested for murder, can she ever trust him?

    Perfect for fans of C. J. Box and William Kent Krueger, a sleepy town is rocked to its core when a dead body is found in this debut novel. 
     
     
     
    In the quiet seaside town of Blaine, Washington, the most serious police work involves dealing with stray coyotes or ticketing speeders along the I-5. But on Ethan Brand's first day as the town's chief of police, he finds a threat on his porch, along with a gruesome souvenir, a bloody animal heart. 
     
     
     
    There are plenty of people who are upset about Ethan replacing the last Chief, but when a body shows up on the railroad tracks, Ethan has to turn his focus from the threats against him to the first homicide case the town has seen in years. Blaine's population is only five thousand, but eight million vehicles pass through its railroad crossing every year. It's the perfect site for drug smuggling, human trafficking, larceny, and murder. 
     
     
     
    Ethan begins to realize that the small town has many more secrets than its quiet surface suggests. With no one to trust, his job already on the line, and the threats getting bolder and more reckless, Ethan Brand must find the killers and bring them to justice before anyone else winds up dead.
