Remember Sara (The Women of Mt. Carmel Book 1)

Sara found herself in a little used stairwell several corridors over from Exam Room Three. The observant nurse who’d followed Sara as she dashed down the hallway like a specter found her there, fists clenched against her chest, struggling to breathe, her face as white as the hospital wall she was leaning against, her lips bloodless.
“Dr. Strampein, what’s wrong?” the nurse cried.
Sara turned toward the woman.
“Oh, God,” she moaned as the nurse opened the door and shouted for help.

PLEDGE OF HONOR: A Mark Cole Thriller

An inhuman terrorist attack on a London school leaves the world in a state of shock, although it is not long before nations unite in their stand against what has happened. The perpetrators are quickly hunted down and dealt with, and leaders from across the globe agree to visit London for a huge memorial parade in honor of the dead.

Although it appears that the attackers were ‘lone wolves’, inspired by online propaganda, Mark Cole – US special operations legend and leader of Force One, America’s elite covert anti-terrorism unit – is not convinced. His daughter Michiko, a computer genius who works with the unit, has found evidence of a financial trail between the attackers and elements of the Iranian government, and he fears that the attack might have been state-sponsored and therefore part of a bigger, unknown plan.

Cole decides to investigate himself, and follows the procurement trail of the terrorists’ weapons, a journey which takes him from the Corsican gangs of Marseilles to the gunrunners of Serbia, and eventually leads him into the dangerous interior of Iran itself.

Last Train to Memphis (Enhanced Edition): The Rise of Elvis Presley

From the moment that he first shook up the world in the mid 1950s, Elvis Presley has been one of the most vivid and enduring myths of American culture.

Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley is the first biography to go past that myth and present an Elvis beyond the legend. Based on hundreds of interviews and nearly a decade of research, it traces the evolution not just of the man but of the music and of the culture he left utterly transformed, creating a completely fresh portrait of Elvis and his world.

This volume tracks the first twenty-four years of Elvis’ life, covering his childhood, the stunning first recordings at Sun Records (“That’s All Right,” “Mystery Train”), and the early RCA hits (“Heartbreak Hotel,” “Hound Dog,” “Don’t Be Cruel”). These were the years of his improbable self-invention and unprecedented triumphs, when it seemed that everything that Elvis tried succeeded wildly.

From Italy With Love: A gorgeous escapist summer read for women!

Home-loving Laurie thinks she’s happy – she has a safe, reliable boyfriend and working in her local library is what she thought she always wanted. That is until she inherits a vintage Ferrari from her eccentric Uncle Miles and the conditions of the inheritance are far from simple. To keep the car Laurie will have to drive across Europe with the gorgeous but unreliable Cameron Matthews as her guide… and Cam’s motives for helping are not all that altruistic.

Cam isn’t particularly thrilled about escorting his late pal Miles’ dull mouse of a niece on this wild goose chase but all he has to do is get Laurie safely to Italy and he’s sure the Ferrari is his.

But Uncle Miles had a few tricks up his sleeve and the route he’s planned takes Cam and Laurie on a road trip they’ll never forget.

My Kingdom for a Horse: The War of the Roses (Very, Very Short History of England)

From William Shakespeare’s series of history dramas to Sir Walter Scott and George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, not to mention the smash-hit TV show Game of Thrones, the British civil war of 1455 to 1485 has inspired writers more than any other.

Ed West’s My Kingdom for a Horse illuminates the bloody war fought for thirty long years between the descendants of King Edward III in a battle for the throne. Named after the emblems used by the two leading families, the Houses of York and Lancaster, the title of the conflict gives it a romantic feel that probably wasn’t as apparent to those on the battlefield having swords shoved into their eyes. And, for all the lovely heraldry and glamorous costumes of the era, the war saw the complete breakdown of the medieval code of chivalry in which prisoners were spared, which makes it even better drama.
