Matilda's Freedom

      Téa Cooper

An unconventional woman clashes with colonial society in this spicy and sweet Australian-set historical romance.

His carefree bachelor days over, Christopher Matcham returns to Sydney to take responsibility for his mother, two stepsisters, and the family property. Fortune smiles on him when he is introduced to Matilda Sweet, a woman in need of work. Though unusual, Christopher senses that her fresh ideals and positive outlook can only benefit his sisters, so he hires her as a companion.

By the time they arrive at Christopher’s family home, the two are fast friends. But Matilda’s unorthodox ways and her convict heritage make her a second class citizen to the family. Christopher has responsibilities, and they include an advantageous match. A breeches-wearing, fish-pond-swimming, plain-talking convict’s daughter will never figure in. After all, romance is a luxury the upper classes cannot afford…

    The 5th Christmas Kiss

      Wendy Knight

Mistletoe should come with a warning.

Refuse a kiss and be cursed for a year.

A year!

But mistletoe does not come with a warning, and Azura found out the hard way that Christmas spirit is not something to ignore.  She has to find every guy she refused under the mistletoe and give him his kiss before midnight on Christmas or she's doomed to deal with clumsiness and bad luck.

For a whole year.

Tracking down missed kisses is hard enough as it is, but when cursed with constant Christmas clumsiness? It's next to impossible. Thank goodness she has Crew on her side—the guy who ran her off the road and has been driving her crazy ever since.

But he's also all kinds of adorable when he's not reveling in the holiday spirit. He'll do whatever it takes to convince Azura that he's the one who can crush the mistletoe curse. And maybe while he's at it, change her mind about him and Christmas.

One little kiss could save Christmas.

His Resolution

      Wyatt, Dani

Maybe it was that dark hair and those pouty red lips that first caught my eye, or perhaps it was her scent I caught on the air.  But it was the sadness in her blue eyes that melted my frozen heart.

She's too young to be wearing those six-inch heels, or that dress cut so low her sweet tits are practically on display.  She's playing the part of being a model, but I can tell someone else is pulling the strings.  Trouble is, this world will chew her up and spit her out like yesterday's trash.

And I won't let that happen.

With one look, my obsession takes hold.  I resolve she will be mine before the clock strikes twelve.  No matter who tries to get in my way.

Author's Note:  A control freak billionaire who has no time for love has his heart snatched straight from his chest in the blink of an eye.  It's over the top, no cheating, insta-love for these two, with heat that will melt the icicles from the rooftops. 

This is the first book in the Kisses at Midnight series of standalones.  Check out the other two books in the series:  New Year, New Eve by Hope Ford and January's First by Frankie Love!

Crashing the Net

      Wayland, Samantha

Mike comes to Moncton wanting nothing more than to play for the Ice Cats and finally live on his own terms. He's broke, bruised, and covered from head to toe in cheap lube, but he isn't going to let that stop him. All he needs is a place to live and some time to figure out how to reconcile who he really is with who everyone wants him to be.

Dumping three gallons of lube on the new kid is just another day at the office for Alexei. He knows exactly who he is: a goalie on the ice, a prankster in the locker room, and a man who knows better than to share his private life with anyone. He's let people in before and it's taught him that if he can't have what he really wants, it's better to be alone.

Despite their apparent differences, an unlikely friendship grows. Neither of them could ever have guessed how much they really have in common.

Pride and Proposals

      Victoria Kincaid

What if Mr. Darcy’s proposal was too late? As in Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy visits the parsonage intending to propose to Elizabeth Bennet. But, in this variation, he arrives to find she has accepted a proposal from Darcy’s friend Colonel Fitzwilliam. Can Darcy and Elizabeth find their happily ever after?

 Vanishing Point

      Victor Canning

For Maurice Crillon, life ambles along in a more or less perfunctory manner. A man of some contradiction, Maurice is an artist of considerable talent and an accomplished restorer of fine paintings. His main occupation in life, however, is making high-quality forgeries of paintings. That and maintaining his various mistresses.

When Maurice’s mother dies, he discovers an intriguing and baffling fact about himself: he is not French, as he has always thought, but English, born of aristocratic blood.

A visit to his English father, an elderly, delightful eccentric, plunges Crillon into a series of complications reaching through France, Switzerland, and Italy. His curiosity about his parents entangles him in an adventure in which he unwittingly becomes the quarry of the security services of two nations as well as the Mafia, all of them bent on recovering certain incriminating documents that have fallen into his possession.

The Doomsday Carrier

      Victor Canning

LOADED AND LETHAL—A LIVING TIME BOMB LOOSE IN THE WESSEX COUNTRYSIDE . . .

Charlie is a specimen chimpanzee maintained by the Ministry of Defence for dubious experimental purposes. Soon after he has been injected with a devastating plague bacillus, he escapes. At first an innocent wanderer under summer skies, in only twenty-one days he will become infectious, and a population of millions will then be in hideous danger.

Discreetly the authorities mount a full-scale search; but fearing the political and international consequences, they dare not reveal the sordid truth. As a result the search is compromised at every turn, while risks and tensions mount—to the very dawn of doomsday.

The Rainbird Pattern

      Victor Canning

The Rainbird Pattern catalogues a search for a highly professional kidnapper: a man who deals in public figures, but makes sure that no publicity attaches to the crime. The result is a secret and fascinating race between the calculating professionals and a bumbling and very unprofessional pair of amateurs, to find the kidnapper.

The book is not, however, a commonplace tale of amateur versus professional sleuth. These amateurs deal in the occult, the search is both on land and in the world of the “spirits”. The conclusion is unpredictable and weird. An unusual book for the author and apart from its arbitary and imposed ending, a coldly fascinating experience.

Foxocracy: Inside the Network’s Playbook of Tribal Warfare

      Tobin Smith

From a 14-year Fox News contributor, guest anchor, and two-time New York Times bestselling author comes an unprecedented insider’s account of the Fox News playbook—the production secrets and manipulation strategies Fox uses to influence viewers, divide families, weaponize the daily discourse of news and public opinion, and addict a core audience on right-wing rage and fear.
Fox News did not start America’s culture war—but they have the manipulative and destructive genius to exploit it. For the first time, a Fox News veteran—fourteen years as contributor and guest anchor—exposes and diagrams the pages within the Fox News playbook that the liberal and progressive candidates will be fighting against in 2020. This is the very same playbook that Fox News used to move 12% of Independents to vote Trump in 2016 and win the previous Democrat strongholds of Ohio, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
Author Tobin Smith takes readers behind the scenes of the actual production of the “Fair and Balanced” opinion pieces and panel segments that feed a ravenous right-wing audience. How are these productions rigged so that right-wing pundits always win? What techniques does Fox News use in manipulating its viewers’ tribal right-wing instincts: to addict them, to activate a hatred toward partisan enemies; and to hook them on feelings of intellectual and cultural superiority?
Filled with never revealed conversations with Fox News executives and opinion programming producers, breaking down the collateral damage among friends and family caused by the waging of an endless culture war, Foxocracy brings incendiary proof from an insider and on-air talent of audience manipulation psychology and production tactics. And perhaps even more frightening, this book reveals how that playbook is now being insidiously upgraded for maximum effect on all forms of social media and means of content delivery. **

The Fifth Risk

      The Fifth Risk (epub)

What are the consequences if the people given control over our government have no idea how it works? Stay tuned.

"The election happened," remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then deputy secretary of the Department of Energy. "And then there was radio silence." Across all departments, similar stories were playing out: Trump appointees were few and far between; those that did show up were shockingly uninformed about the functions of their new workplace. Some even threw away the briefing books that had been prepared for them.

Michael Lewis's brilliant narrative takes us into the engine rooms of a government under attack by its own leaders. In Agriculture the funding of vital programs like food stamps and school lunches is being slashed. Commerce may not have enough staff to conduct the 2020 Census properly. Over at Energy, where international nuclear risk is managed, it's not clear there will be enough inspectors to track and locate black market uranium before...
