Evelyn Christie thought she was in for an uneventful weekend at Hessleham Hall, the ancestral home of her husband, Tommy’s, family.

Little did she know that the weekend would turn into anything but dull when a shocking murder occurred—the unfortunate victim none other than Tommy’s own uncle, the Earl of Northmoor!

As memories of her time serving in the Police force during the war flood back, Evelyn finds herself with an undeniable obligation to find out who is responsible for the Earl’s untimely demise before the bumbling local police force blames her husband for the crime. Evelyn must use her natural sleuthing skills to narrow down the list of suspects and uncover the murderer before they claim another victim.

On a day when I felt utterly broken, a mistaken identity slip up gave me a single, scorching night with Max Donovan.
He called me gorgeous and asked for my submission.
I gave him control and he gave me endless pleasure…because he thought he’d hired me for the night.
Now he knows I’m not a call girl. I’m a junior lawyer at his new firm, and we absolutely cannot do it again.
One of us needs to be responsible, and it’s not going to be the former child TV star turned best friend to the prime minister.
So why can’t I forget how utterly incredible it was to be at his mercy? And what am I going to do when he takes his pursuit to the next level?

DIAGNOSIS: * A serious case of a one-night stand gone wrong (but not until after it went very, very right).
PRESCRIPTION: * Healthy boundaries and a double-dose of will power. * Should that plan fail, the second course of treatment would be an air-tight contract and a solid cover story.

One look.
 One touch.
 One sound of her beautiful voice and I’m hooked.
Like a dream I never want to wake up from, she pulls me in and wraps me around her.
Consumed. Driven with need.
Fueled by an unrelenting desire to make her mine.
One night, I take more than she has ever given before, which only leaves me wanting more.
Needing more. Craving more.
She’s the one I’ve waited for my whole life.
I’ll be damned if I let anyone, including our families, stand in our way.
She trusts me.
Hungers for me, just like I want only to covet her.
Forever.
But there is one twist neither of us see coming.
A curveball no one could have ever expected.
Still, I hold on tight to her light.
She’s my Angel.
Something about her, us, makes me feel like I found heaven on earth.
She’s my best Catch, and I’m not letting her go.
Ever.

King Arthur is back, but can he stop the Ravenmaster?
It is the autumn of 2019. Merlin’s wayward apprentice has escaped from the Tower of London with his raven familiars. Legend foretells that the White Tower, then England, will fall. Can King Arthur, a weary veteran of the English Civil War, Waterloo and the Somme, prevent the Ravenmaster from exacting his revenge?

On learning to dance with a broken heart…
I’d always believed that if I splayed my body in the dirt, I could protect my mother from her plummet from the sky. The forced ejection from an airplane. I’d also thought of the fall as a singular event requiring a dramatic sacrifice to insulate her. But each day she repeated her tumble to the ground. Sometimes she’d land as graceful as a ballerina, and she’d flash a mischievous grin before pirouetting away. Other times, she’d crash into the earth, breaking her bones and soiling herself in the process. I didn’t move fast enough and I couldn’t predict her trajectory.

With time, I discovered my role was not to buffer her descent. The most I could hope for was to pick her up, patch her up, and hope for a better tomorrow. It wasn’t me that eased her way as she deteriorated into her illness. It was Dionne Warwick, Tom Jones, Frank Sinatra, and Perry Como. She gravitated toward their lighthearted crooning tunes and, no longer encumbered by any inhibitions–my mom danced.

The brain can be weighed, measured, scanned, dissected, and studied. The mind that we conceive to be generated by the brain, however, remains a mystery. It has no mass, no volume, and no shape, and it cannot be measured in space and time. Yet it is as real as neurons, neurotransmitters, and synaptic junctions. It is also very powerful.
—from Brain Wars

Is the brain “a computer made of meat,” and human consciousness a simple product of electrical impulses? The idea that matter is all that exists has dominated science since the late nineteenth century and led to the long-standing scientific and popular understanding of the brain as simply a collection of neurons and neural activity. But for acclaimed neuroscientist Mario Beauregard, Ph.D., along with a rising number of colleagues and others, this materialist-based view clashes with what we feel and experience every day.

The traditional Japanese embroidery technique, sashiko, is currently a major sewing trend in craft, interior design, and fashion. The big stitches are used to create stunning, geometric patterns and texture to make homewares with a stylish, Japanese minimalist look.

This collection of eight simple sashiko patterns allows you try the technique yourself—projects include a tote bag, greetings cards, cushion, table mats, coaster, pocket hanging, a long sampler and Ranru hanging.

Susan Briscoe is a leading expert in this traditional Japanese sewing technique, having first been introduced to sashiko in the early 1990s while teaching English in northern Japan.

In this first compelling tale from Patricia Veryan Time’s Fool, Captain Gideon Rossiter returns to England after a six-year absence with one goal in mind: to marry and settle down with his betrothed, the enchanting Lady Naomi Lutonville, the thought of whom has sustained him through many a trial of war.

It is not, however, a happy homecoming that waits the captain. Rossiter is shocked to find his fortune lost, his father accused of fraud, and his family name disgraced entirely. Worst of all misfortunes, Lady Naomi’s family has dissolved the engagement, and the lady herself is of no mind to ask that it be reinstated…
