  Saving the Secret Prince - A...

  Ever heard of love at first sight? What about love at first push? 
  Because I may have hurtled Topher to the ground so that car wouldn’t hit him, but I’m pretty sure I’m the one who fell that December day. 
  How could I not? There’s just something about him. 
  It’s not just that he’s drop-dead handsome, like Henry Cavill and Chris Hemsworth had a baby. 
  Or that he talks in a delicious British-like accent and calls me “love” (swoony swoon swoon, am I right?!). 
  Or that he’s impeccably dressed all. the. time. 
  He’s also mysterious. And I feel like he really gets me, even though we’re so different. 
  Like he...sees me. 
  Which is kind of terrifying for a girl whose past keeps her off social media and out of the public eye—for good reason. 
  But as long as we stay in our little bubble, I feel safe with Topher. 
  As long as he’s just an average Joe and I’m me, absolutely nothing can tear us apart. 
  Fans of Sarah Adams and Emma St. Clair will love this closed-door romantic comedy with lots of sizzle and spice, but no on-page explicit content.

  Homo Politicus - The Strange and...

  Washington's most acerbic (and feared) columnist, the Washington Post's Dana Milbank, skewers the peculiar and alien tribal culture of politics.Deep within the forbidding land encircled by the Washington Beltway lives the tribe known as Homo politicus. Their ways are strange, even repulsive, to civilized human beings; their arcane rites often impenetrable; their language coded and obscure. Violating their complex taboos can lead to sudden, harsh, and irrevocable punishment. Normal Americans have long feared Homo politicus, with good reason. But fearless anthropologist Dana Milbank has spent many years immersed in the dark heart of Washington, D.C., and has produced this indispensable portrait of a bizarre culture whose tribal ways are as hilarious as they are outrageous.Milbank's anthropological lens is highly illuminating, whether examining the mating rituals of Homo politicus (which have little to do with traditional concepts of romantic love), demonstrating how status is displayed in the Beltway's rigid caste system (such as displaying a wooden egg from the White House Easter Egg Roll), or detailing the precise ritual sequence of human sacrifice whenever a scandal erupts (the human sacrificed does not have to be the guiltiest party, just the lower ranked). Milbank's lacerating wit mows down the pompous, the stupid, and the corrupt among Democrats, Republicans, reporters, and bureaucrats by naming names. Every appalling anecdote in this book is, alas, true.

  'A cracking read... Perfectly paced and brilliantly written, Coles draws you in, leaving a childish smile on your face.' News of the World  
  'This is a charming and uplifting book.' Piers Morgan 
  This is the extraordinary first-hand account of Tory leader David Cameron's Eton Schooldays. In this cracking yarn, which also happens to be entirely fictional, veteran journalist Bill Coles reveals how Cameron's first year at Eton College helped turn him into one of the wiliest political operators of his age. These spoof memoirs include revelatory details of Cameron's early life as a porn-dealer and paparazzo. The novel may perhaps contain valuable insights into the mind of the man who is on the threshold of becoming the first Old Etonian Prime Minister in more than four decades.

  When Tony Perrottet heard that Napoleon's "baguette" had been stolen by his disgruntled doctor a few days after the Emperor's death, he rushed out to New Jersey. Why?   Because that's where an eccentric American collector who had purchased Napoleon's member at a Parisian auction now kept the actual relic in an old suitcase under his bed.The story of Napoleon's privates triggered Perrottet's quest to research other such exotic sagas from history, to discover the actual evidence behind the most famous age-old mysteries: Did Churchill really send condoms of a surprising size to Stalin? Were champagne glasses really molded upon Marie Antoinette's breasts? What was JFK's real secret service? What were Casanova's best pickup lines? Napoleon's Privates is filled with offbeat, riotously entertaining anecdotes that are guaranteed to amaze, shock, and enliven any dinner party.
