Sapphire Jones doesn't believe in relationships anymore ?not since she caught her husband in bed with another woman. Now Sapphire only sees men on her terms which is why her current lover is younger than her, good looking, doesn't place any emotional demands on her [so far, fingers crossed] and is great in bed. What more does a girl need?
Sapphire puts all her passion into running her own business (a high end lingerie and hen weekend company) She is doing well and life seems pretty good until she meets a very handsome, charming businessman who seems more than a match for Sapphire. Then things go badly wrong at the hen party she has planned for a soap star and tabloid darling.
The evening is one that everyone will be talking about for all the wrong reasons and Sapphire faces front page headlines all of her own. Suddenly her business is in jeopardy, her well-controlled private life is falling apart, and in the middle of all this Sapphire realises that she is not immune to love after all, but has she left it too late? |

Hope Dunne has carved out a name for herself as a top photographer. In her chic Soho loft, she is content with her life, finding serenity and beauty through the lens of her camera. She isn?t looking for a man or excitement.
But things change when she accepts a last minute assignment in London, photographing one of the world?s most celebrated writers. To Hope?s surprise, Finn O?Neill exudes warmth and a boyish charm.

Hope finds it all absolutely dizzying - Finn?s charm is undeniable. But soon cracks begin to appear in his stories: gaps in his history, a few innocent lies, bouts of jealousy? Suddenly Hope is both in love and suspicious. Alone, thousands of miles from home, her mind is reeling. Is she just being paranoid? How many lies has he told? Is it possible that this kind, loving, attentive man is hiding something even worse? |

Local rather than international, the dramas and privations described in this memoir are an ordinary boy growing up in Belfast after the war; one who would go on to become world-famous as a hostage in Beirut and author of the extraordinary testimony of imprisonment and survival that was 'An Evil Cradling'.
In this remarkable and equally moving act of retrieval, Brian Keenan has captured the vanished world of 1950s Belfast in all its vivid vernacular and grey, post-war austerity. This is a time of licorice and street vendors selling coal and bleach and herring, street-fighters with lions on chains ? a city where westerns were showing every afternoon at the Picture Theatre and the shipyards flourished. It was also a place of ghosts: the plague dead in the cemeteries, the family dead in the scrapbooks, a witch?s box discovered under the stairs, the giant street bonfires every 12th of July to commemorate the Battle of the Boyne.
Rich in detail and atmosphere, I?ll Tell Me Ma is an affectionate story of a disaffected childhood. At the centre is a shy, self-conscious boy of unusual moral integrity; a boy puzzled by religion and sectarianism, in love with books and music and full of curiosity about the world outside. A book of reclamation, It's also a coming-to-terms with the past: a resounding, thrilling record of redemption. |

People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It?s like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song. So, I stay in the moment and listen.? MICHAEL JACKSON (1958 ? 2009)
Dancing the Dream is one man?s hauntingly beautiful, provocatively personal view of the world around us, and the universe within each of us. Whether his prose and poetry focused on creativity, the people that surrounded him, or the plight of the noble elephant, his observations and concerns all illustrated his belief that trust, love and faith are the foundation stones for a life well lived.
Containing Michael Jackson?s personal writings and over one hundred glorious photographs, drawings, and paintings from his own collection, this book is a must have for all fans of an incredible, inspiring man who died as he lived ? dancing his dream. |

Better Late Than Never is the extraordinary story of how a man born into poverty in London?s East End went on to find stardom late in life when he was chosen to be head judge on BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing. Len tells all about his new-found fame, his experiences on Strictly Come Dancing, and also on the no.1 US show Dancing with Stars and his encounters with the likes of Heather Mills-McCartney and John Sergeant. But the real story is in his East End roots. And Len's early life couldn?t be more East End. The son of a Bethnal Green costermonger he spent his formative years running the fruit and veg barrow and being bathed at night in the same water Nan used to cook the beetroot.
There are echoes of Billy Elliot too. Though Len was a welder in the London Docks, he dreamt of being a professional footballer, and came close to making the grade had he not broken his foot on Hackney Marshes. The doctor recommended ballroom dancing as a light aid to his recovery. And Len, it turned out, was a natural. At first his family and work mates mocked, but soon he had made the final of a national competition and the welders descended en masse to the Albert hall to cheer him on. With his dance partner, and then wife Cheryl, Len won the British Championships in his late twenties and ballroom became his life.
Funny and heart warming, Len's autobiography has all the honest East End charm of a Tommy Steele, Mike Read or Roberta Taylor that we know works so well with book buyers. |

Harvard professor Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call while on business in Paris: the elderly curator of the Louvre, Jacques Sauni?, has been brutally murdered inside the museum. Alongside the body, police have found a series of baffling codes. As Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, begin to sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Leonardo Da Vinci ? and suggests the answer to a mystery that stretches deep into the vault of history.
Langdon suspects the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion ? a centuries old secret society ? and has sacrificed his life to protect the Priory?s most sacred trust: the location of a vastly important religious relic hidden for centuries. But it now appears that Opus Dei, a clandestine sect that has long plotted to seize the Prirory?s secret, has now made its move. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the pieces of the puzzle, the Priory?s secret ? and a stunning historical truth ? will be lost forever?
The Da Vinci Code is simultaneously lightning-paced, intelligent and intricately layered with remarkable research and detail. And in this exclusive edition Dan Brown allows the reader behind the scenes of the novel which now incorporates over 150 photographs and illustrations throughout the text showing the rich historical tapestry from which he drew his inspiration. |

When Lehman Brothers - One of the world's biggest and most successful banks - went under the world gasped. Its downfall was the event that sparked the slide of the world economy toward a Great Depression II. This is the gripping inside story of the dark characters who ruled Lehman, who refused to heed warnings that the company was headed for an iceberg; the world-class, mid-level people who valiantly fought to get Lehman off its disastrous course; the crash that didn't have to happen. A news-breaking explanation that answers the question everyone still asks: 'why did it happen?'
Larry McDonald, a former vice-president at Lehman Brothers in charge of distressed debt trading and convertible securities, was right at the centre of the meltdown of the company and gives an intimate look at the madhouse that Lehman became. This book shows beyond a doubt that Richard Fuld, the long-time CEO of Lehman, and his top executives, were totally out to lunch, allowing Lehman's risk profile to reach gargantuan proportions. While the traders, like Larry McDonald, clearly predicted more than two years in advance that the market for packaged subprime mortgages and credit default swaps would evaporate, the high-flying Lehman bosses pushed hard on the gas pedal until the very end. |

When a world renowned scientist is found brutally murdered in a Swiss research facility, a Harvard professor, Robert Langdon, is summoned to identify the mysterious symbol seared onto the dead man?s chest. His baffling conclusion: that it is the work of the Illuminati, reborn to continue their bitter vendetta against their most hated enemy, the Catholic church. In Rome, the college of cardinals assembles to elect a new pope. Yet somewhere within the walls of the Vatican, an unstoppable bomb of terrifying power relentlessly counts down to oblivion.

But, with each revelation comes another twist, another turn in the plot, which leaves Langdom and Vetra reeling and at the mercy of a seemingly invisible enemy?
