Book excerpt: I promised to save myself for marriage - to be a good girl ... After all, that has been expected of me my whole life. I'd managed to control myself all these years, to remain untouched in that way. But Charlie, with eyes the colour of aquamarine gemstones, full lips like a model, and a physique that looks way too inviting under his designer suits, has me questioning everything I've ever believed. Just his presence leaves desire clawing its toxic tendrils into my skin, his smile leaving me drowning in temptation. But giving in to him is not an option, not when we both risk jeopardising the relationships we share - the friendships we both depend on. No. No matter how desperately I want Charlie, or how my body weakens whenever he is close, I cannot succumb to his charm. I must fight this temptation and stop from giving him the one thing I promised not to ... myself.

When twenty-eight-year-old restaurateur Nick Jensen and two friends fly from their hometown of Phoenix, to a small resort town in Mexico, they're expecting a few days of fun, sun, and sand - with some humanitarian house-building thrown in. After all, Nick had been to the same town once before, and had fallen in love with it. He had also fallen for a beautiful local named Gabriella, but she had quickly disappeared years earlier, shortly after she had appeared through an unlikely twist of fate. Once Nick and his pals land in Rocky Point, however, Nick's memories - good and bad - come crashing back like the Sea of Cortez surf. Those vivid memories of a summer trip almost seven years earlier - memories that had haunted him more than he had ever admitted to himself, and changed his life more than he ever could have imagined - confront him at every turn. As much as Nick pretends to his friends that it's all fun and games, when fate once more steps in, he learns this time, that what happens in Mexico "doesn't" stay in Mexico.

Hugo went with his mother, father, grandparents, and his brother Gaby aged ten. Hugo, aged thirteen, was advised to say that he was nineteen, a carpenter and joiner.

The closing words of his book are: "Time is short and the task is urgent. Evil is real. So is good. There is a choice. And we are not so much chosen as choosers. Life is holy. All life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That cold morning in July 1943 still haunted 633 Squadron, for only a single Mosquito made it back from the suicidal but successful Operation Vesuvius. Now, barely a year later, the Germans were once more processing the secret “element” known as IMI in a strongly defended facility in Norway and were about to move their stocks to the safety of Germany. If successful, the whole tide of the war would be turned. Once again, it meant another “mission impossible” for 633 Squadron... Frederick E. Smith (1919-2012) joined the R.A.F. in 1939 as a wireless operator/air gunner and commenced service in early 1940, serving in Britain, Africa and finally the Far East. At the end of the war, he married and worked for several years in South Africa before returning to England to fulfill his life-long ambition to write. Two years later, his first play was produced and his first novel published. Since then, he wrote over forty novels, about eighty short stories, and two plays. Two novels, 633 Squadron and The Devil Doll, were made into films, and one, A Killing for the Hawks, won the Mark Twain Literary Award.

Book excerpt: From the author of Layoverland comes another bitingly clever, laugh-out-loud funny novel, about a group of teen girls going up against an exploitative megachurch in their small Montana town. The only thing Genesis, Holly and Zoe seem to have in common is being stuck in Violet, Montana. Well, that and the fact that Hope Harvest Ministries is trying to ruin their lives. Genesis lives on a commune that is now an echo of the New Age cult it once was. She’s witnessed power couple Pastor Jay and Ree Reaps transform their sleepy small town into a haven for online Influencers, who flock to Violet, Bible in one hand and Ree’s bestselling ACT LIKE A LADY, PRAY LIKE A BOSS in the other. Now, the Reaps have decided it’s God’s Will™ that they take over Gen’s ranch. Holly is a begrudging tourist, forced to spend the summer with her estranged father as punishment for her unsavory behavior back in LA. To Holly, Hope Harvest is nothing but a gimmicky marketing ploy, but it’s threatening to put her father’s diner out of business and, for some reason, Holly cares. All Zoe wants is to leave Violet, working thankless shifts at the diner to scrape together enough cash to start a new life with her girlfriend. But Zoe’s mother has lost everything to the church’s multilevel marketing schemes so the little money that Zoe manages to make goes right to debt collectors. The only solution to their problems is to scam the scammers and protect what’s theirs. It shouldn’t take much – the Reaps’ golden son, an accidental kidnapping, some light blackmail – and the Reaps’ fortune will be in the girls’ much more deserving hands. As long as everything goes according to plan…
