| Product DescriptionThe mysterious letter invited him to an interview for a job he'd never applied for. But at 37, his family life and medical career in ruins, Dr Mark Avedissian wasn't feeling like asking too many questions.
Nor, it turned out, were British Intelligence, Avedissian's new employers, prepared to give many answers about his new role in their battle against terrorism. With minimal information they despatched him to America in the company of Kathleen, the sister of an IRA man Martin O'Neill, their brief to rescue a small boy, a child with a terrible destiny.
But in the turbulent events that followed, in the transatlantic struggle for the freedom of Ireland, British Intelligence proved to be every bit as ruthless as the IRA, and Avedissian and Kathleen dispensible pawns in a game that veered rapidly out of control . . .
Ken McClure is the internationally bestselling author of over twenty medical thrillers such as The Lazarus Strain, The Gulf Conspiracy, White Death and Dust to Dust.

| Product DescriptionThe most romantic city in the world...
Single mother, Lynn McDonald, is on the trip of a lifetime. She's in Paris! And she has one goal, to see and feel everything wondrous in the incomparable City of Light. She laughs at herself for being the world's keenest, most enthusiastic tourist. Lynn is more than ready to meet and fall in love with a magical city. What she's not expecting is to run headlong into romance.
Cool, jaded Paul Severns, an acclaimed film director, has given up on the idea of a forever love. One too many marriages will do that to a guy. He's handsome, rich, and alone by choice. He's taken himself out of the "Hollywood scene" and put his own career on hold, to spend time in Paris, helping a friend with her directorial debut. All he wants is alone time, but wanting to be alone doesn't make it so. Particularly when talented, beautiful actresses are dead set on getting a starring role in his next picture—and his bed.
When a friend asks Paul to meet a woman at the airport, he obliges. No big deal. He'll pick her up, settle her in her hotel, and be gone. He doesn't go. Instead he finds himself attracted to a sunshine personality, a direct green-eyed gaze, straightforward conversation, and an unselfish generous spirit.
What Paul lacks in emotional courage, Lynn, as a widow and mother to a challenged son, has in abundance. Lynn believes in the power of love and has reason to; only love sustained her through loss and years of solitude.
Paul offers to show Lynn Paris, take her to lunch on the Champs-Elysées, visit the Louvre—but after a few days in her company, he shocks himself and does the unthinkable; he asks her to spend a few days with him in the French countryside. He tells himself—and Lynn—his offer is for nothing more than some pleasant days and uncomplicated sex—without strings.
He doesn't expect Lynn to go along with it. But she does.
And she packs some strings...
_____________________________________________________________
I loved visiting Paris and couldn't wait to write a book and take another trip there with one of my heroines. Lynn McDonald was the perfect choice. If you read one of my prior books, CALIFORNIA MAN, you might remember her as the good friend of Emily Welland, the shy bookstore owner, who found her special hero on Salt Spring Island.
I hope you enjoy reading Lynn and Paul's love story as much as I enjoyed writing it. :-)

| Product DescriptionThracia, AD30: Even after four years military service at the edge of the Roman world, Vespasian can't escape the tumultuous politics of an Empire on the brink of disintegration. His patrons in Rome have charged him with the clandestine extraction of an old enemy from a fortress on the banks of the Danube before it falls to the Roman legion besieging it.Vespasian's mission is the key move in a deadly struggle for the right to rule the Roman Empire. The man he has been ordered to seize could be the witness that will destroy Sejanus, commander of the Praetorian Guard and ruler of the Empire in all but name. Before he completes his mission, Vespasian will face ambush in snowbound mountains, pirates on the high seas, and Sejanus's spies all around him. But by far the greatest danger lies at the rotten heart of the Empire, at the nightmarish court of Tiberius, Emperor of Rome and debauched, paranoid madman.

"One of the best historical novels I’ve had the pleasure to read in years." - WorkingGirl Reviews.
"The story was captivating, the characters real, the dialogue crisp. I admit to having cried and laughed and even having wanted to murder a character and beat another one within an inch of his life — which is simply a testament to how well written these books are." - AmericanEditor.
