A beautiful Russian double agent narrowly escapes certain death on a Russian waterfront. She subsequently uses her Olympic high bar experience to vault past two assassination attempts. Anastasia has no idea who has betrayed her and intends her harm – are her enemies Russian, Kazakh, Chechen, or the CIA? And she is completely unaware of how these perfidies are related to missing Kazakhstani nuclear warheads – weapons that will soon be threatening the safety of tens of millions of innocent people. 
Does Anastasia need the assistance of the American submarine captain who retrieved her under fire from Vladivostok? Will her pride even permit him to help? Together will they be able to thwart the international thieves? And will love, death or the mushroom of a nuclear explosion bloom on the snowy steppes of Kazakhstan?

Dinah Read's poetry springs from her great love of the countryside in which she lives and the seas that surround it. Her life experience has been rich and varied and this too is reflected in her writing. From a childhood in the war-torn centre of Bristol, through the teenage years when she learned to sail and to ride and grew to love both people and animals, we follow her to the years when marriage brought the fulfilment of farm life and a young family. As she matured, her interests widened and added both to her subject matter and to her ways of expressing herself. The pieces chosen for this collection are vibrant and deeply felt. They cover a wide range of topics and highlight the interactions of people and animals with the natural world and with each other. Her imagery is most frequently visual and she takes great pleasure in wildlife and in landscape though the message is always full of emotion and at times subtly spiritual.

Seven Secrets of a Joyful Birth: The Guide to Preparing Emotionally and Psychologically for Birth and Early Parenting Your Way

Sakoilsky, Dominique

In 1900 few people could have imagined that their world would change so drastically in such a short time. The shell-shocked society that emerged from the Great War was at once less unequal and more demanding, more hopeful and yet less certain, than the old. The Voice from the Garden opens a window onto these two worlds through Pamela and her families. The daughter of a doomed union between trade and title, Pamela was born into the Cobbold brewing family of Suffolk and married into the famous merchant banking dynasty, the Hambros. Wealthy the families may have been, but money is no protection against the loss caused by war or the frailties of human nature. From an extraordinary period of social and economic change, here are fascinating characters, mystery, adultery, despair and hope. It is a unique tale, at the heart of which lies the love story of Pamela and Charles. Long-listed for the 2013 New Angle Prize for Literature (www.ipswichinstitute.org.uk/NAP.html). The New Angle Prize for Literature is awarded biennially for a recently published work of literary merit associated with or inspired by East Anglia. The judges described the book as "A meticulous and captivating reconstruction of the life of Pamela Hambro - of the East Anglian Cobbold family - and the impact of the First World War on her life. At the story's heart lies her enduring love for her husband Charles, of the Hambro banking dynasty."

Through peacetime, war, revolution and their eventual murders, this biography of the Russian Royal Family shows the true characters of the Romanov daughters, detailing their bravery and individual charm as human beings thrown into a situation where they had no power to fight against their own destiny. 'Road to Ekaterinburg' is the ultimate fight against tragedy and for freedom of expression.

Romanov Fans Will Discover: What was it like to be a Grand Duchess? Was it exciting or boring? The day-to-day details of the lives of the Grand Duchesses. Where they went and what they did. What did the Grand Duchesses wear? Their CLOTHES and hairstyles. The styles they preferred. THE GRAND DUCHESSES IN LOVE. Who were the young men involved? What did they look like? Details of the Grand Duchesses wartime NURSING experiences. How they managed and what they did. The Grand Duchesses hobbies, BOYFRIENDS and friends. The books they read, music they listened to, people they liked. How the Grand Duchesses bore up to imprisonment. Did their past experiences help them deal with it? Plus Ortipo's puppies and Anastasia's WORMS. A Personal Note From the Author: "Many years ago I read 'Nicholas and Alexandra' by Robert K Massey and wished there was a 'Nicholas and Alexandra's Daughters' book. I was so disappointed when I found there wasn't one - so I set about writing it myself! Over 30 years and many thousands of pages of notes later I was diagnosed with cancer, so decided to use my time productively by compiling everything into a book. My own illness meant I spent a lot of time surrounded by medical staff, and I learned a lot about Victorian and Edwardian medicine, and this really helped me to understand the various illnesses of the Tsarevich, the Tsarina and the four Grand Duchesses. I enjoyed writing my book and sharing my passion - I hope readers will share my own enjoyment of the book and its subject."

James MacTavish is a highland man, a gamekeeper and ghillie on the west coast of Scotland, a proud man seeking a perfect woman to be his wife. Grace from the Post Office has been in hot pursuit of him for years, but he finally loses his heart to the beautiful Suzannah, recently arrived in the village of Drum Mhor after a broken love affair in Edinburgh. Their romance is of enormous interest to the feisty village matrons: Dolly who runs the B&B, Kathleen from the Tea Room, and Lottie the hypochondriac, all who have little good to say about anybody. Their tittle-tattle is constantly fuelled by the antics of Elvis the Post, Hector the eccentric old shepherd, Wee Eck, and young Joker MacTavish. A whirlwind of dramas unfolds against the backdrop of mountains, sea and crofts. James MacTavish's gentle charms permeate the pages and generate a feeling of what is important in life. It is a love of the land, and a love of the people and creatures with whom it is shared.
