Set in the Sea

Q.T. Porta

Casa editrice: Grosvenor House Publishing

Sinossi

Two feisty females move to the seaside.
At last, a life of fun with candy floss, penny arcades, fish 'n' chips, and ice-creams.
Even the scary seagulls will not stop them.
Pam and Martha are outwardly mature, but the rebellious teenager is close to the surface. Walking on the tightrope between sensible and sassy is a tricky balancing act.
Pam is not ready to abdicate her title of Party Queen.
Martha is carrying a weight on her shoulders which is agonizing.
Pam shares a thought about their flight to the fresh air by the shore -
"We carry all our baggage with us, and they're even heavier than my rucksack."
Martha cannot resist: "Nothing's heavier than your rucksack!"
Walks along the coast revitalise and reawaken feelings buried long ago.
The beach is filled with pebbles and framed by brightly coloured designs -
"Come on Maeve, let's go and look at the Beach Hutches!" says Pam.
"No, Aunty Pam, they are called Beach Huts."
"I know," said Pam, "but it sounds more fun, don't you think?"
The breeze blows away a few of the cobwebs but the tide times change.
As the clocks go back the portrait of the sun set is mesmerising.

The Warriors

Vivian Stuart

The tenth book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
Not only Englishmen come to the new country of Australia.
A young American, the only survivor of a shipwreck, has also ended up there. She stands alone in this new and completely foreign world.
Another American, who served in the British army against Bonaparte, has arrived as well — voluntarily.
In this melting pot, everyone must establish a life for themselves. The obstacles are many, but the future is still bright ...
Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.

Never Back Down

Christopher Swann

For as long as she could remember, Susannah Faulkner knew that even though she lived a dangerous and violent life, she would try her best to do some good in the world. She’s hunted down evil men before, but the one man that puts fear into her heart, the one man who could destroy everything she loves, is the one man she cannot track down. And worst of all, she doesn’t know what will happen when she finds him...or if he finds her first. Finn, an ex-soldier who served alongside Susannah’s father in Iraq, left Suzie with a simple choice a year ago: she could watch her family die one by one, or she could pursue him in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. The stubborn and skillful Suzie knows just how dangerous he is and how far he will go to complete his vengeance. And so the hunt begins. Her journey takes her across the United States, from the mountains of Arizona to the river bluffs of Missouri to the streets of Atlanta. Along the way, she contends with both new and old friends and foes: the vulnerable Brooke, determined to escape her own nightmare; her brother Ethan and his new girlfriend, a reminder of a different and more peaceful life; her uncle Gavin and his connections to the criminal underworld; the street-smart Ajax, a shadowy ally of convenience; and an FBI agent who could be friend, foe, or potential lover. Suzie’s instincts have gotten her this far—but will they be enough against her evil equal?
