Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This delightful, romantic debut follows a sophisticated Manhattanite who trades her fast-paced Wall Street life for the English countryside, and unexpectedly becomes a nanny to the children of a widowed British lord. Who is as infuriating as he is intriguing... Jordy Greene has it all—the high-powered job, the high-octane New York lifestyle, the powerful lover—until she’s suddenly forced to flee the city. Running to avoid false charges of illegal trading and a destructive relationship, Jordy escapes to England. There she finds refuge in a cottage on the estate of the icy Lord John Grey—a descendant of the Nine Day Queen, Lady Jane Grey. The four rambunctious Grey children are in desperate need of a nanny, and Jordy is in desperate need of a purpose—so they plunge into an investigation of the Tudor queen’s mysterious life and shocking death. Amid flying subpoenas, willful adolescents, outraged aristocrats, and an unexpected attraction to Lord Grey, Jordy struggles to regain control of her life. In the midst of the chaos, can she find the kind of happiness she’d never thought to have? If The Sound of Music and The Wolf of Wall Street had a child, it would be the captivating Nannyland!
Download or read book Ladies and Gentlemen the Bronx Is Burning written by Jonathan Mahler and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2006-03-21 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By early 1977, the metropolis was in the grip of hysteria caused by a murderer dubbed "Son of Sam." And on a sweltering night in July, a citywide power outage touched off an orgy of looting and arson that led to the largest mass arrest in New York's history. As the turbulent year wore on, the city became absorbed in two epic battles: the fight between Yankee slugger Reggie Jackson and team manager Billy Martin, and the battle between Ed Koch and Mario Cuomo for the city's mayoralty. Buried beneath these parallel conflicts, one for the soul of baseball, the other for the soul of the city, was the subtext of race. The brash and confident Jackson took every black myth and threw it back in white America's face. Meanwhile, Koch and Cuomo ran bitterly negative campaigns that played upon urbanites' fears of soaring crime and falling municipal budgets. These braided stories tell the history of a year that saw the opening of Studio 54, the evolution of punk rock, and the dawning of modern SoHo. As the pragmatist Koch defeated the visionary Cuomo and as Reggie Jackson finally rescued a team racked with dissension,1977 became a year of survival but also of hope. -- Publishers description.

Book excerpt: NYPD detective Ben Tolliver tracks a killer with a taste for expensive call girls When the escort service sends Caroline to the Plaza, she dreams of a handsome client with an open wallet. Instead, she is greeted by the businessman’s assistant, who insists on vetting the girl before she can start work. At her command, Caroline undresses, turns around, and feels something tighten around her throat. Homicide detective Ben Tolliver is surprised to get called in for a murder at the Plaza. Though Midtown may not be his beat, sex crimes are, and this one is especially chilling. Caroline was strangled, her face and body coated with grotesque makeup. The murder is baffling enough, but when the dead girl’s millionaire father gets involved, Tolliver’s investigation threatens to erupt into a circus where the main attraction is a killer who paints women like clowns.

Book excerpt: Five years ago, the hunt for the Axewoman of Tucson brought together four mismatched sleuths who have now formed Union Jack Investigations. The British expat Wilde Sinclair founded Union Jack, bringing along Salem psychic Deliverance Dane, ex-detective Michael Quintana, and ex-police lieutenant Victor Renard. For these four, all is well in life and love. Sadly, its just a calm before the storm as death once again disturbs the desert city of Tucson, Arizona. The case hits the Union Jack team personally, and they must quickly uncover the killer and his motives. As the investigation continues, it becomes obvious that there is some link between the old series of murders and the new ones. As the clock ticks down on murder after murder, there is no discernible pattern to the perpetrators purpose or selection of victims. As multiple madmen converge on the heart of the city, it becomes clear that the Union Jack four are targets, but why? Past actions and secrets play a part in the final denouement as savagery and hatred home in on the innocent as well as guilty.
