Book Description
A woman being hunted. The agent she betrayed. One chance to save her life. Somewhere deep in her bones, Josephine Maxwell always knew he’d come back—the attacker who once left her for dead. All those years ago, he created the bold, smart-mouthed survivor she grew up to be. Now he’s back to destroy her. Even as she fights tooth and nail, one regret nags at her mind. It’s shaped like a tall, handsome FBI agent whom she couldn’t allow past the twisted-barbed-wire defenses strung by her past trauma. Despite the betrayal that ended things between them, Special Agent-in-Charge Marshall Hayes can’t get Josie out of his mind. Her waif-like figure, big blue eyes, Titanic attitude problem—he hasn’t looked at another woman since. When Josie’s past comes crashing back into her life, Marsh doesn’t give her a choice about letting him help her. Because he was born and bred to protect. And to catch a serial killer and keep Josie safe, he’ll break every rule—and risk losing his heart all over again. For fans of Laura Griffin, Karen Rose, Nora Roberts, and Sandra Brown. Finalist in the Daphne du Maurier Award of Excellence in Romantic Suspense. REVISED AND UPDATED, NOVEMBER 2021.

Book Description
The first book in acclaimed epic fantasy author John Gwynne's Faithful and Fallen series, Malice is a tale of blind greed, ambition, and betrayal set in a world where ancient monsters are reawakening -- and a war to end all wars is about to begin. The world is broken. . .and it can never be made whole again. Corban wants nothing more than to be a warrior under King Brenin's rule -- to protect and serve. But that day will come all too soon. And the price he pays will be in blood. Evnis has sacrificed -- too much it seems. But what he wants -- the power to rule -- will soon be in his grasp. And nothing will stop him once he has started on his path. Veradis is the newest member of the warband for the High Prince, Nathair. He is one of the most skilled swordsman to come out of his homeland, yet he is always under the shadow of his older brother. Nathair has ideas -- and a lot of plans. Many of them don't involve his father, the High King Aquilus. Nor does he agree with his father's idea to summon his fellow kings to council. The Banished Lands has a violent past where armies of men and giants clashed in battle, the earth running dark with their heartsblood. Now, the stones weep red and giant wyrms stir, and those who can still read the signs see a danger far worse than all that has come before. . .

Book Description
Accra, 1958. Africa’s liberation leaders have gathered for a conference, full of strength, purpose and vision. Newly independent Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah and Congo’s Patrice Lumumba strike up a close partnership. Everything seems possible. But, within a few years, both men will have been targeted by the CIA, and their dream of true African autonomy undermined. The United States, watching the Europeans withdraw from Africa, was determined to take control. Pan-Africanism was inspiring African Americans fighting for civil rights; the threat of Soviet influence over new African governments loomed; and the idea of an atomic reactor in black hands was unacceptable. The conclusion was simple: the US had to ‘recapture’ Africa, in the shadows, by any means necessary. Renowned historian Susan Williams dives into the archives, revealing new, shocking details of America’s covert programme in Africa. The CIA crawled over the continent, poisoning the hopes of 1958 with secret agents and informants; surreptitious UN lobbying; cultural infiltration and bribery; assassinations and coups. As the colonisers moved out, the Americans swept in—with bitter consequences that reverberate in Africa to this day
