Since I was a little girl, I've known the fairy tale I've wanted to live. Grow up. Fall in love. Get married to a man who will dance with me in the kitchen and kiss me for no reason. Have a big family and live happily ever after. There's just one problem-men suck. What's a southern girl have to do to find her future husband? It's certainly not on the dating apps, so I do something out of my comfort zone-I ask my step sister to set me up. And what does she deliver? A six-foot-two, sexy as sin football coach who has a fear of commitment. Great. The definition of my Prince Charming. Only this man is no prince. He's a tall, dark, and handsome playboy who is impossible to resist. I've never been a fling kind of girl, but with Davis, something so wrong feels so right. Maybe it's that we're doing it in secret? Or that I can somehow always feel his lips on me? We both know we need to stop. Get out before anyone gets hurt. There's just one problem. Well, two. Two pink lines specifically. Yup, this is definitely not how the fairy tale is supposed to go...

She thought she had her future sorted, but life has other plans... Get the reference, get the job, get out of here: I know what I want. What I've always wanted. What I've been raised to want. The only thing standing between me and my dream overseas nursing job is a reference from my boss – and a very special little girl in the hospice care where I work who I just can't say goodbye to yet. The last thing I need is Sawyer Benson, the AFL legend and an arrogant smile, coming in to visit the kids at the hospice and interfering with my life. But when Emily tells me that girls can't play football, I know that I have to prove to her that girls can do anything they want. So Sawyer and I strike a bargain. I'll play his girlfriend when the camera's on, and off–camera he'll train me up for the Women's Aussie Rules league try–outs. Together we'll show Emily that girls are brave and strong and can do anything they dream of. I still know what I want. I can walk away from footy and go back to my original plan. Football and arrogant smiles can't be my future. Can they?

A new, sexy standalone from New York Times Bestsellers Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward The last thing I needed was a live-in bodyguard. And I definitely didn't want him. Six foot two, with broad shoulders that were impossible to ignore and a talent for getting in my way, Wes Callahan was a walking bad decision. But when you're the daughter of a notorious mob boss, apparently your opinions stop mattering the moment your father ignites another war. I'd spent my entire life trying to escape that crooked world-new name, new city, newfound freedom. At least until I was suddenly shacked up with my new bodyguard. Wes knew exactly how to push my buttons. He was also infuriatingly protective. And smart. And funny. And thoughtful when he thought I wasn't paying attention. Little by little, the walls I'd built started to crack, and falling for the bodyguard became the most dangerous thing I've ever done. Because if my father found out, Wes wouldn't just lose his job. He'd lose his life. Getting involved with him was reckless, yet I couldn't find a way to stop it, no matter how hard I tried. But while I was busy losing my heart, the man who took it was hiding a secret. And it turned out, the most dangerous man in my life wasn't my father after all-it was the one who threatened to break my heart.

While artillery has been described as the queen of the Napoleonic battlefield, this was an era when cavalry could still play a decisive role in battle, as well as being vital on campaign. This volume covers both British cavalry and artillery of the Napoleonic Wars, as well as supporting units such as engineers. Gabriele Esposito describes the history, organization and uniforms of the various units in full detail, following the evolution and combat history of each. Mounted troops deployed in the various British colonies as well as foreign cavalry units in British service will be all covered in specific chapters. The technical corps, most notably the artillery (both foot and horse) and the engineers, are given similar treatment. Royal Marines naval infantry and some other 'auxiliary' corps (like the Yeomanry/militia cavalry or the Sea Fencibles, all very little known) are also included. The book is lavishly illustrated with dozens of color paintings.

An international bestseller - the secret history and shocking legacy of the Holy Grail A nineteenth century French priest discovers something in his mountain village at the foot of The Pyrenees which enables him to amass and spend a fortune of millions of pounds. The tale seems to begin with buried treasure and then turns into an unprecedented historical detective story - a modern Grail quest leading back through cryptically coded parchments, secret societies, the Knights Templar, the Cathar heretics of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and a dynasty of obscure French kings deposed more than 1,300 years ago. The author's conclusions are persuasive: at the core is not material riches but a secret - a secret of explosive and controversial proportions, which radiates out from the little Pyrenees village all the way to contemporary politics and the entire edifice of the Christian faith. It involves nothing less than... the Holy Grail.
