Pain and pleasure, ecstasy and horror fuse in this
splendid array of worldly parables from the pen of a master.
What if you were a double amputee, singing for joy on the
streets of New York . . . or a man who has actually held the earth in his
hands? What if you were both the god and goddess in one of the most exalted
erotic experiences in the universe . . . or the artist Correggio in the
bitterness of his most sublime work . . . or a serving maid dreaming of love
and luxury in a palace of death . . . or
a man on a fatal mission, treading a battlefield ruled by a dying god?
If you have the spirit and the longing to imagine,
come along on a journey to the heart of passion—where love and hate are mirror
images, where the alternating pulse beats of craving and denial define desire.
Only William Kotzwinkle's
extraordinary talent could chart such a course, could send his vision soaring
through so many forms of fancy. In Jewel of the Moon, he transcends even his own marvelous powers of invention to create a
cosmology of constant surprise—and irresistible enchantment.

Penny Jordan needs no introduction as arguably the most recognisable name writing for Mills & Boon. We have celebrated her wonderful writing with a special collection, many of which for the first time in eBook format and all available right now. Lady Eleanor de Tressail was simply mortified. Bad enough that before his death, her old-fashioned grandfather had ensured that their impoverished estate wouldn't have to be sold—by arranging her marriage. But to Joss Wycliffe of all people—the self-made millionaire who despised her! Mistaking Nell's shyness for aristocratic disdain, Joss contemptuously told her that he was marrying her only for her social status. He never suspected that icily untouchable Nell loved him desperately. Her wounded pride kept her from revealing her true feelings. Particularly when Joss's jealous secretary did her best to widen the rift between them... Views: 18
Glass is pure. Glass is transparent. Glass is sharp. Günter Glass, ex-milkman and aspiring window-cleaner, is certainly pure. And he's pretty transparent. But the jury's still out on how sharp he is.

THE HILARIOUS AND HEARTFELT NEW NOVEL FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF OUT OF PRACTICE! The Practice at Larkford has suddenly been thrust under the spotlight - and its nomination as a 'NHS Model Surgery' is causing the team major headaches. Dr Holly Graham should be basking in the glow of her new romance with fellow doctor, Taffy - but she is worried that the team is prioritising plaudits over patients, and her favourite resident, the irreverent and entertaining Elsie, is facing a difficult diagnosis. Add to that the chaos of family life and the strain is starting to show. Dr Dishy Dan Carter's obsession with work is masking unhappiness elsewhere - he can't persuade girlfriend Julia to settle down. It's only as Julia's mother comes to stay that he realizes what she has been hiding for so long. Alice Walker joins the team like a breath of fresh air and her assistance dog Coco quickly wins everyone round - which is just as well, because Coco and Alice will soon need some help of their own. Can they pull together and become the Dream Team that the NHS obviously thinks they are? Out of Practice won the Romantic Comedy of the Year category of the RNA Awards.
