Facing the past, one vintage heel at a time… Polished, in control, complete with crimson lippy, the fabulously vintage Lola Lombard excels at hiding behind her armour of clothes, hair, make-up and attitude. But will two events challenge her barely held-together poise? Organising a hen do for a terrifyingly sophisticated gaggle of hens has her shaking in her seamed stockings.And how can she fend off the curiosity of the bride’s blue-eyed, dripping-with-cool brother, who sees too quickly through her armour and wants to find out more…? Will sparks – and the hens’ feathers – fly? If you like Carole Matthews or Sarra Manning, you’ll love this.

None of Roma Lombard's high-society friends knew anything about the mystery man who was suddenly everywhere the wealthy heiress went.And that was exactly the way she wanted it – because her new "lover” was really her bodyguard, there to protect her from the killers who were stalking her….Ben McCabe said they had to keep up this deadly charade – by pretending to be married! The trouble was, the more time she spent with her devastatingly handsome protector – day after fear-wracked day, night after passion-filled night – the more she ached to make this "marriage” the real thing….

‘This book includes some of the greatest of our poetry. I hope that it adds up to a new way of thinking about who we have been, and who we are now.’We British is much more than an anthology. This is a veritable history of Britain, told through the verse of its greatest poets. With the entertaining and enlightening Andrew Marr as our guide, we travel from Saxon settlements to medieval courts, from Shakespeare’s Globe to the battlefields of the Somme, ending up here in the present day.On the way we will meet Middle English ploughmen, Tudor drunks, Scottish farmers, West Country priests, a Warwickshire actor, and many more bards and balladeers from across the British Isles, each adding their own distinct voice to the chorus. From Caedmon to Zephaniah, the poets we meet will paint a powerful portrait of what it means to be British.
