Kingston's Obsession (Kingston Security 6)


Book Description

Kingston’s Obsession (Kingston Security 6) is the sixth book in USA Today and Amazon International #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer’s, Contemporary Romantic Suspense series. Felix only caught a brief glimpse of the ethereally beautiful red-haired woman being held captive in the home of the head of the London gang of cutthroats who were demanding his cooperation. But it was long enough to know that he wanted to help her. That he wanted her. Brianna grew up in Ireland, well away from the life of crime her brothers led in London. Until Anthony Bart, the leader of the most powerful gang in the city, demanded she marry his son and unite the two factions against the Albanian gang trying to take control of London’s criminal underworld. No amount of pleading or begging on Brianna’s part had succeeded in changing her brothers’ minds. Terry Bart was due to be released from prison in one week’s time, the wedding to take place the day after that. Unless Brianna could find a way to escape. Or someone who would help her. Someone like Felix Kingston. A man she’d seen only once but instinctively knew she could trust.







Queen Anne


Book Description

The reign of Queen Anne, the last Stuart monarch, was a period of significant progress for the country: Britain became a major military power on land, the union of England and Scotland created a united kingdom of Great Britain, and the economic and political basis for the Golden Age of the eighteenth century was established. However, the queen herself has received little credit for these achievements and has long been pictured as a weak and ineffectual monarch dominated by her advisers. This landmark biography of Queen Anne shatters that image and establishes her as a personality of integrity and invincible stubbornness, the central figure of her age. Praise for the earlier edition: “A thoughtful and . . . authoritative study, easily the best thing we have on the Queen. Like Anne herself, it is eminently worthy.”—Angus McInnes, History “With the appearance of this volume, a generation of revision in Queen Anne studies comes to fruition.”—Henry Horowitz, American Historical Review “The best kind of biography, scholarly but sympathetic, as well as highly readable.”—John Kenyon, The Observer “Bold . . . startling . . . imaginative and persuasive.”—G.C. Gibbs, London Review of Books
