The Perfect Find
by Tia Williams
English | 2016 | ISBN: | Brown Girls Publishing | 363 pages | epub | 567 KB
Will a forty-year-old woman with everything on the line - her high-stakes career, ticking biological clock, bank account - risk it all for a lusty secret romance with the one person who could destroy her comeback?
Jenna Jones, former It-girl fashion editor, is broke and desperate for a second chance. When she's dumped by her longtime fiancé and fired from Darling magazine, she begs for a job at StyleZine.com from her old arch nemesis, Darcy Vale. But Jenna soon realizes she's in over her head. She's working with digital-savvy millennials half her age, has never even "Twittered," and pretends to still be a Fashion Somebody while living a style lie (she sold her designer wardrobe to afford her sketched-out studio, and now quietly wears Walmart's finest). Worse? The twenty-two-year-old videographer assigned to shoot her web series is driving her crazy. Wildly sexy with a smile Jenna feels in her thighs, Eric Combs is way off-limits - but almost too delicious to resist.
Written by the bestselling author of The Accidental Diva, The Perfect Find is a scandalously sexy, laugh-out-loud saga of star-crossed love and starting over.

Lady in Waiting
by Rosemary Sutcliff
1956 | ISBN: 0340011661 | Hodder \u0026 Stoughton General Division | pages | azw3 | 523 KB
Handsome and gifted, Walter Ralegh was a star even in a court of brilliant men ruled by one of the greatest monarchs of all time, Elizabeth I.
Ralegh held position and power, and was loved by the Queen, but his dream was to conquer new lands for Elizabeth, to find El Dorado.
Bess Throckmorton was one of the Queen's Maids of Honour.
Shy and retiring, her dream was to capture the heart of the proud and restless Ralegh, in whose life it seemed she would always come second.
But when Elizabeth dies and James I comes to power, Ralegh's fortunes take a dramatic turn.
Once a beloved courtier, he becomes a disgraced prisoner.
And his dreams of reaching El Dorado seem to be forever out of reach.
Will Bess lose Ralegh to his seemingly unattainable goal?
Will Ralegh ever be free to re-take his position in court?
Or is he doomed to stay forever out of favour with the new king..?
Set against the dramatic backdrop of their times, Sir Walter Ralegh and Bess Throckmorton's love was passionate and enduring.

The Mind of Mr Mosley
by John Greenwood
English | ISBN: | Pan Macmillan | pages | epub | 365 KB
They're rustling sheep on Mosley's patch-the hill country of the Yorkshire-Lancashire border. Young Sergeant Beamish is in love. And Reuben Tunnicliffe of Upper Crudshaw has committed suicide by hanging himself with his braces in the earth closet at the bottom of his yard. Then his eighty-year-old widow Anna reports a theft of 500 pounds . . . Curious beyond the call of duty, unorthodox in his methods, and unwilling to leave matters in the hands of his nemesis Chief Inspector Marsters, the imperturbable Mosley sets a trap before departing on vacation. Before matters are sorted out, vicar Wilfred Weskitt is accused of running a brothel, Mosley publishes poetry under the name of local poetess laureate Millicent Millicheap, and the CIA, the KGB and Special Branch are baffled. But once again, Mosley triumphs in a manner that leaves his superiors and neighbours in states varying from bewilderment to near-apoplexy. John Greenwood is the pseudonym of John Buxton Hilton, writer...

Reviving Jules
by Peggy Trotter
2015 | ISBN: | Prism Book Group | pages | epub | 343 KB
Jules Summers, a proverbial Jonah, runs from family, career, and neighborhood. Where's she going? To find a place of healing for wounds so deep, she shuts the door against the very One who restores. But God never abandons and a kindergarten angel arrives, towing her father, Rhett Carsen. Rhett Carsen vows never to marry again. He redoubles his efforts to raise his motherless daughter alone, but runs into trouble when work sends him traveling. His daughter instantly bonds with newcomer Jules Summers, who in turn assists him in caring for his daughter. She seems like the answer to his prayers-an instant live-in nanny. Yet, why does she captivate his every thought? They work together as a team to care for Rhett's child. But is "practicality" the only thing God has planned for these two? Or could there be a whole lot more?

In Calabria
by Peter S. Beagle
2017 | ISBN: 1616962488 | Tachyon Publications | 176 pages | azw3 | 442 KB
"Beagle's unicorns have never been more bewitching, impossible, and genuine. I cherished every page."
―Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked and After Alice
From the acclaimed author of The Last Unicorn comes a new, exquisitely-told fable for the modern age.
Claudio Bianchi has lived alone for many years on a hillside in Southern Italy's scenic Calabria. Set in his ways and suspicious of outsiders, Claudio has always resisted change, preferring farming and writing poetry. But one chilly morning, as though from a dream, an impossible visitor appears at the farm. When Claudio comes to her aid, an act of kindness throws his world into chaos. Suddenly he must stave off inquisitive onlookers, invasive media, and even more sinister influences.
Lyrical, gripping, and wise, In Calabria confirms Peter S. Beagle's continuing legacy as one of fantasy's most legendary authors.

How Blue is My Valley: The Real Provence
by Jean Gill
2008 | ISBN: 2955010154 | Jean Gill | 204 pages | epub | 846 KB
Humorous travel book about moving to France from IPPY and Global Ebook Award Winner Jean Gill
Reviews
'Laugh out loud in many places, this autobiography from Welsh writer and photographer Jean Gill tells the tale of her first year in Provence - complete with challenging situations and thought-provoking musings. Jean takes readers on a tour of the beautiful Drome area, painting such a vivid picture of the fields of lavender, sunflowers and olive trees that you could almost be there with her.' - Living France Magazine
The true scents of Provence? Lavender, thyme and septic tank.
There are hundreds of interesting things you can do in a bath but washing dishes is not one of them, nor what writer Jean Gill had in mind when she swopped her Welsh Valley for a French one.
Keen to move out of the elephant's stomach, that stew of grey mists called weather in Wales, she offered her swimming certificate to a bemused Provencale estate agent and bought a house with good stars and its own spring-water. Or rather, as it turns out, a neighbour's spring-water that is the only supply to the kitchen, which, according to the nice men from the Water Board, is emptying its dirty water directly and illegally onto the main road... and there's worse ...
But how can you resist a village called Dieulefit, `God created it', the village 'where everyone belongs'.
Discover the real Provence in good company ...

by S R Mitchell
English | ISBN: | CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | pages | epub | 180 KB
Love was always just out of reach for Allie. The fact that she has to hide a part of herself, her magical side, does not help. She'd accepted the fact that maybe she would not find Mister Right, but her witchy Aunt Margret has not given up hope. Little does she know; her Aunt has cast a spell for her soul mate to find his way to her. He's everything she finds attractive in a man and she's everything he thinks unattainable in a woman. There is just one catch... someone is after him. Someone wants him dead and Allie finds herself thrown in the mix. Will they find love for Christmas?

Tides of War
by Stella Tillyard
English | 2011 | ISBN: 0805094571 | Random House | 368 pages | epub | 902 KB
A Library Journal Top Ten Best Books of 2011
An epic novel about love and war, set in Regency England and Spain during the Peninsular War (1812-15), by the acclaimed historian and bestselling author of Aristocrats
Tides of War opens in England with the recently married, charmingly unconventional Harriet preparing to say goodbye to her husband, James, as he leaves to join the Duke of Wellington's troops in Spain.
Harriet and James's interwoven stories of love and betrayal propel this sweeping and dramatic novel as it moves between Regency London on the cusp of modernity-a city in love with science, the machine, money-and the shocking violence of war in Spain. With dazzling skill Stella Tillyard explores not only the effects of war on the men at the front but also the freedoms it offers the women left behind. As Harriet befriends the older and protective Kitty, Lady Wellington, her life begins to change in unexpected ways. Meanwhile, James is seduced by the violence of battle, and then by love in Seville.
As the novel moves between war and peace, Spain and London, its large cast of characters includes the serial adulterer and war hero the Duke of Wellington, and the émigrés Nathan Rothschild and Frederic Winsor who will usher in the future, creating a world brightly lit by gaslight where credit and financial speculation rule. Whether describing the daily lives and desires of strong female characters or the horror of battle, Tides of War is set to be the fiction debut of the year.

Blood and Sand
by Rosemary Sutcliff
1989 | ISBN: 0340415185 | Hodder \u0026 Stoughton | 288 pages | azw3 | 613 KB
Why on earth, in the Year of Our Lord 1807, was he in Egypt fighting the Turks? Like many a soldier before him and after, Private Thomas Keith of the 78th Highlanders had very little idea of why and his comrades were about to be thrown into battle against superior forces, far away on a foreign field.
And later, lying wounded and a prisoner in a village headman's house, one of a pitiful handful of survivors, he could have had no idea at all that he was at the start of an extraordinary series of adventures that would see him rise to become Emir of the holy ---c city of Medina..

A Footman for the Peacock
by Rachel Ferguson
1940 | ISBN: | Dean Street Press | 221 pages | azw3 | 486 KB
The peacock displayed himself and paraded the lawn, sometimes pausing to look up at the sky.
Waiting? Listening? Guiding. No. Signalling .
Controversial when first published in the early days of World War II, due to its treatment of a loathsome upper-crust family dodging wartime responsibility, A Footman for the Peacock can now be enjoyed as a scathing satire of class abuses, a comic masterpiece falling somewhere between Barbara Pym and Monty Python.
Sir Edmund and Lady Evelyn Roundelay live surrounded by a menagerie of relations and retainers. The Roundelays' history of callous cruelty is literally etched on a window of the servants' quarters with the words "Heryn I dye, Thomas Picocke. 1792". Sir Edmund reflects cheerfully on the running footmen who have 'died off like flies' in the family's service.
But now-amidst digressions on everything from family history and servant woes to the villagers' linguistic peculiarities and a song immortalizing the footman's plight-war threatens the Roundelays' smug superiority. What's more, it appears that the estate's peacock is a reincarnation of Thomas Picocke, and may be aiding the Nazi cause . By turns giddy and incisive, hilarious and heartbreaking, A Footman for the Peacock is Rachel Ferguson at her very best. This new edition features an introduction by Elizabeth Crawford.
