History takes flight in the second book of Naomi Novik’s deliciously addictive series which captures the Napoleonic period perfectly and skillfully layers the timeline with imagination by adding a Dragon Air Force to the battle for England.Captain William Laurence of the British Air Corps and his dragon, Temeraire, begin their slow voyage to China, fearful that upon landing they will be forced to part by Imperial decree.Temeraire is a Celestial dragon, the most highly-prized of all draconic breeds; famed for their intelligence, agility and most of all for the Divine Wind – their terrible roar capable of shattering the heavy timbers of war ships, shattering woodland and destroying other dragons mid-flight. Temeraire’s egg was captured and claimed by the British at sea, but he was meant to be the companion of the Emperor Napoleon and not captained by a mere officer in the British Air Corps.The Chinese have demanded his return and the British cannot refuse them – they cannot afford to provoke the asian super-power into allying themselves with the French – even if it costs them the most powerful weapon in their arsenal and inflicts the most unimaginable pain upon Laurence and his dragon.

SMALL-TOWN SCANDALShe had no experience at solving crimes, but spirited Kelly McGovern was determined to find out what really happened to her brother. Using a little grit–and a lot of sex appeal–she uncovered the awful truth: her brother's death was no accident! Turning to the only man she could trust, Kelly persuaded reformed bad boy Wade Lansing to join her private investigation. Kelly knew her brother's friend was torn between loyalty and desire, but after a few bullet-dodging incidents and citizen interrogations, his protective streak went into overdrive. But could she convince Wade that their attraction was due less to their daily brush with death, and more to raw, uninhibited desire?
