Once upon a time, Rachel Walker longed for—and sought out—adventure. But
after her boyfriend found out she was pregnant and left her to raise
her daughter Charlotte alone six years ago, she put her wild child days
behind her. For good. So when Rachel's sister needs her to step in to
help film a TV show with professional surfer Nicholas Quinn on Walker
Island, she isn't the least bit worried about losing her heart to him.
Not until the first time she sees him smile and realizes that her heart
isn't completely closed off to promises of breathless excitement after
all...
Nicholas has spent his entire life chasing adventure, one wave
at a time, becoming a major surfing star along the way. But for all the
incredible challenges he's faced around the world, he's never faced one
as exciting—or as important—as winning Rachel's heart. One stolen kiss
is all it takes for him to be absolutely certain that his next adventure
should be taken with Rachel and her daughter Charlotte beside him.
First, though, he'll have to break through every one of Rachel's walls
to convince her to trust in both her dreams and his never-ending love. Views: 17

London, January 2014. In the space of 32 hours, in a well-planned and highly organized operation, six billionaires' children are taken off the streets of London in a series of slickly well-executed kidnaps. The gang demands £25 million per hostage for 'expenses' - not ransom.
And when your child goes missing, you need Charles Boxer: a man with little left to lose who'll stop at nothing to save families suffering what he has.
The wealthy parents of the missing children know that Boxer will do more than police can - but that doesn't mean the law will leave it to him. Intelligence agencies are all interested in the kidnaps because in each case the parents are related to people in power in the various countries involved. Soon the investigation goes beyond the corridors of power and the boardrooms of big corporations - and to far darker corners. Even more worryingly for Boxer, and his ex-wife Mercy, it threatens to lead back to their own lives, too.
But still nobody knows what this mysterious kidnap gang ultimately want and, if they have a cause, what the hell is it? Views: 17

Klop Ustinov was Britain's most ingenious spy – but he was never licensed to kill. Instead, he was authorised to bemuse and beguile his enemies into revealing their deepest, darkest secrets. From the Russian Revolution to the Cold War, he bluffed and tricked his way into the confidence of everyone from Soviet commissars to Gestapo Gruppenführer. Although his official codename was U35, he was better known as 'Klop', meaning 'Bedbug' – a name given to him by a very understanding wife on account of his extraordinary capacity to hop from one woman's bed to another in the King's service. Frequenting the social gatherings of Europe under the guise of innocent bon viveur, he displayed a showman's talent for entertaining (a trait his son, the actor Peter Ustinov, undoubtedly inherited) and captivated unsuspecting audiences while scavenging their secrets. Using exciting anecdotes and first-hand accounts, Peter Day explores the fascinating life of one of espionage's most... Views: 17

Released from the magic pokey and paroled with limited power is enough to make any witch grumpy. However, if you throw in a recently resurrected cat, a lime-green Kia and a sexy egotistical werewolf, it's enough to make a gal fly off the edge. Not to mention a mission...with no freaking directions.
So here I sit in Asscrack, West Virginia trying to figure out how to complete my mysterious mission before All Hallows Eve when I’ll get turned into a mortal. The animals in the area are convinced I'm the Shifter Whisperer (whatever the hell that is) and the hotter-than- asphalt-in-August werewolf thinks I'm his mate. Now apparently I'm slated to save a bunch of hairy freaks of nature?
If they think I'm the right witch for the job, they've swallowed some bad brew. Views: 17
