Sinossi

‘Shorts’ is a new collection of tales, inspired by everyday life, combining the ordinary and the extraordinary in a thought provoking and entertaining way. The stories cover a range of topics from greed and temptation, loneliness and fear, through to modern day struggles and growing old and even to murder itself. Humans and animals walk through the tales, making us laugh, cry, explore and think with some unexpected twists along the way. Told with humour, compassion, insight and love, ‘Shorts’ is ideal reading for a quiet afternoon curled in the chair with a cuppa to hand. What are you waiting for?

    When Love is declared with a pure heart, who knew it could be as invisible as a wallflower? 
    Fletcher Fernley finds solace in a comfortable chair and a well-crafted guide to property law. As a barrister, he readily engages in lively debates while in the courtroom and occasionally on the fringes of the ballroom. 
    Audrey Benton gave her heart to Fletcher the day he surprised her with a swing he hung in a tree at Primrose Hall. Twelve years later, Audrey is determined to win Fletcher’s heart. To do this, she must help him see she is no longer a little girl with knotted bonnet ribbons. 
    The autumn of 1814 is anything but comfortable for Fletcher as the spices of the season upend his perfect life. He has Audrey to blame for this delightful turmoil as her presence leaves behind the lingering scent of cinnamon oil long after she has departed. Fletcher realizes a little too late that the lady who was once a wallflower was never meant to stand on the outskirts of his heart, and a gallant gesture might be necessary to reclaim her affection.

    Three friends, all exhausted young mothers living in Paris, escape to Tunisia for a New Year's getaway. By the hotel pool, they savour a rare moment of freedom, reliving past mistakes (and making new ones) while dreaming of adventure. Three years later, they reunite for another holiday, this time at a remote, disused lighthouse off the coast of Brittany. But the easy camaraderie of their earlier trip has faded. Tensions simmer, and long-held dynamics begin to shift – especially when it's revealed that one of them is writing a film inspired by their friendship. Full of humour and insight, Nolwenn Le Blevennec's latest novel explores growing up, growing apart and the rich, if painful, bonds of female friendship.

    When a Legionary pushes the boundaries, he draws a crowd. Either to watch him collect a medal or collect lashes. And if it's really bad, an eighty-foot drop from Tarpeian Rock. 
     
     
     
    Welcome to 261 B.C. 
     
     
     
    There are anxious words to describe being in unfathomable trouble. A feeling of pressure, an emotion of being in over-your-head, and a sense of being smothered. 
     
     
     
    Legion Centurion Alerio Sisera was drowning in the sea and experiencing all of them. 
     
     
     
    From black, to gray, to green water overhead, Alerio transitioned through the ocean layers as he swam upward. Lungs screaming for air, and his chest heaving, his body threatened to take in a breath. It became a competition between the urges of his lungs and the control of his mind. 
     
     
     
    Then, the green filtered sunlight was blotted out. Given any air in his lungs, Alerio would have swum away from the keel of the enemy warship. But the competition for his body was in the final stages. His options were to surface and breathe or, to die. 
     
     
     
    Some depths are not water but intrigue. Both can overwhelm, suffocate, and drown the average man. For Alerio Sisera, he'll need his gladius, several magnitudes of audacity, and his wits to survive Neptune's fury.
