A hockey player & a baker shoot their shot in this steamy new romance by Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author of The Nanny. This time they’re both playing for keeps... When a very public breakup becomes a PR nightmare for Ian Chase’s team, he hopes to focus on his game, but that suddenly seem less likely than a hat trick.

For over eight hundred years, Newgate Prison was the grimly axle around which British society slowly twisted. Immortalised by Charles Dickens, this was where such legendary outlaws as Robin Hood & Captain Kidd met their fates, where the rapier-wielding playwrights Ben Jonson & Christopher Marlowe sharpened their quills, & where flamboyant highwaymen like Claude Duval & James Maclaine made legions of women swoon. By piercing together the lives of forgotten figures as well as re-examining the prison's link with more famous individuals from Dick Whittington to Daniel Defoe, this thrilling history goes in search of a ghostly place, erased by time, which has inspired more poems & plays, paintings & novels, than any other structure in British history. ...

Winner of the National Trust Outdoor Book of the Year 2011 The story of one man's unlikely quest to create out of a mountainous Welsh landscape a garden fit for inclusion in the prestigious Yellow Book
- the ' Gardens of England & Wales Open for Charity' guide
- in just one year. The son of two passionate gardeners, Antony Woodward was born with chlorophyll running through his veins. Unfortunately, growing up with Latin plant names took its toll, & he was ingrained early on with a profound loathing of both gardens & gardening. Buying Tair-ffynnon, a derelict smallholding 1, 300 feet up in the Black Mountains of Wales, changed everything. Hooked by its beauty
- when not buried in cloud
- Woodward battles to meet the strict requirements of the famous ' Yellow Book' in this unlikely terrain. He finds himself driven by apparently inexplicable compulsions: wood chopping, hauling a 20-tonne railway carriage up a mountain, even beekeeping. Soon, his voyage along the rocky path to his own patch of paradise takes on a more personal tenor as he unearths the deep roots linking gardening & his childhood in this warm, funny & unlikely memoir. Beautifully written & effortlessly engaging, ' The Garden in the Clouds' is a compelling read for anyone who has ever gardened
- or ever dreamt of doing so.

A sensational bestseller when it appeared in 1986, The Garden of Eden is the last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, which he worked on intermittently from 1946 until his death in 1961. Set on the Cote d' Azur in the 1920s, it is the story of a young American writer, David Bourne, his glamorous wife, Catherine, & the dangerous, erotic game they play when they fall in love with the same woman. "A lean, sensuous narrative...taut, chic, & strangely contemporary, The Garden of Eden represents vintage Hemingway, the master doing what nobody did better" (R. Z. Sheppard, Time). ...
