For once reality is sexier than fiction! Author Stella Mills has writers' block. Her swashbuckling debut romance was a mega hit – and the world is crying out for a sequel. Problem is, her sexy-as-sin hero was based on childhood friend Rick Granville, who’s dangerously delicious eyes have never sparkled at her that way!So being forced to spend weeks on adventurer Rick’s luxury yacht could be just the thing to trigger her imagination – forget Jonny Depp… modern-day pirate Rick is pure physical perfection.Of course, spending night and day with the temptation that is Rick could be sailing too close to the wind – especially when her fictional fantasies start becoming red-hot reality… !

The opening book in the Nobel Prize for Literature winner’s ‘Children of Violence’ series tracing the life of Martha Quest from her childhood in colonial Africa to old age in post-nuclear Britain.When we first meet Martha Quest, she is a girl of fifteen living with her parents on a poor African farm. She is eager for life and resentful of the deadening narrowness of home, and escapes to take a job as a typist in the local capital. Here, in the ‘big city’, she encounters the real life she was so eager to know and understand. As a picture of colonial life, ‘Martha Quest’ succeeds by the depth of its realism alone; but always at its centre is Martha, a sympathetic figure drawn with unrelenting objectivity.Martha’s Africa is Doris Lessing’s Africa: the restrictive life of the farm; the atmosphere of racial fear and antagonism; the superficial sophistication of the city. And both Martha and Lessing are Children of Violence: the generation that was born of one world war and came of age in another, whose abrasive relationships with their parents, with one another, and with society are laid bare brilliantly by a writer who understands them better than any other.
