Can Rebecca keep her interest in Kent under wraps with everyone watching, or will their chemistry explode into scandal? Exclusive Access is a 33,000 word novelette, and is the third installment in the serial novel, Rock Arrangement. EXCERPT: He took my breath away. The wind tossed his hair and the darkness of the smudged kohl set off his vivid eyes—the exact same color of the ocean. I wanted to fall into them. I wanted to stand on my tiptoes and fall into him. “Good, good,” the director was saying, somewhere far away, and from the corner of my eyes I saw lights and reflectors and cameras, all centered on us, but none of it mattered. I barely even registered their presence. Kent stared down at me, and I saw hunger in his eyes, suffering... and a terrible tenderness. Reaching up, he stroked my cheek with the back of his hand, his eyes searching mine, and I was struck by the realization that the animal attraction between us could be more. Much, much more. He cared about me. He relied on me. He trusted me. He wanted me. I mean, that's a lot to infer from a single look... but I felt it. I knew it in my bones. Then he reached out and put his arms around me, drawing me close. I fell into his warmth, reveling in it. He smelled good, like soap and leather, and his hands tangled in my hair as he tilted my head to the side. His lips grazed my ear. “Hello, Rebecca,” he said, low enough that I knew I was the only one who could hear it. “Ready to make out with your boyfriend's brother?” Views: 8

The history of the First World War is dominated by the monumental battles of Northern France But the Great War was fought at sea as well as on land. And it witnessed the greatest naval battle of all time. In ‘The Great War At Sea: 1914-1918’, the historian Richard Hough tells the story of those naval battles and how they shaped the eventual outcome of the war. It is a history as much of men as of ships; men like Sir John Jellicoe, ‘Jacky’ Fisher, and Winston Churchill, who together succeeded in jolting the Royal Navy out of its nineteenth-century complacency. The narrative follows the race to war, including the construction of the Dreadnought, the biggest, fastest, most heavily gunned battleship in the world; and against the backdrop of feuds, scheming, and personality clashes at the Admiralty, examines the triumphs and tragedies of the great battles and campaigns. Could the appalling losses have been avoided during the Dardanelles? Was there ‘something wrong with our bloody ships’ as David Beatty said at Jutland? Why was the Battle of Jutland inconclusive?
