Meet Enza Biondi—the ballsy, quick-thinking owner of Luxe Affairs. Armed with a pink notebook and killer curves, she’s a party planner with no time for fools and a nose for murder. Finding a dead body was not the way Enza wanted the McGowan Tea Party to end. She’s been hoping for a quick and easy clean-up so she could spend more time with the tall, dark and sexy guitar player who arrived with the entertainment. Instead, Enza and her partners find themselves in the middle of a crime scene, complete with a grieving client, shaken guests, and a seemingly unflappable guest of honor. As Enza looks closer at the murder, she starts peeling away the layers of a seemingly perfect marriage and finds that nothing —and no one—is what they first seemed to be, including that sexy guitar player, Connor Ives. Further complicating the situation is a sly Irish ex-mobster, a cold-hearted sister-in-law, and the skeptical detectives in charge of the investigation. The police may be doing their job, but Enza has more faith in her own instincts, and as she gets closer to the truth, the more her instincts are telling her that the killer may be hiding in plain sight.

Very Special Ships is the first full-length book about the Abdiel-class fast minelayers, which were considered the fastest and most versatile to serve in the Royal Navy during World War II. This book spans the scope of the class from alpha to zulu as they operated in many roles, most famously as blockade runners to Malta, transporting items as diverse as ammunition, condensed milk, gold, and VIPs. To provide a complete picture of this important class of ships, Very Special Ships examines the origin and history of the minelayers, describes the design and construction of each ship in the class, details the operational history of the ships during World War II, and concludes with the post-war careers of the surviving ships.

Out of the depths of darkness, a bad boy’s life unfolds. Shackled by his tumultuous past and the expectations of his fanatical parents, he’s always been labeled as “bad,” groomed to accept the shadows that dance within him. Scarred both physically and emotionally, he struggles against the knowledge of his natural ability to bring only disaster to anyone he allows in. She bravely enters his world and casts a bright light, pure and captivating, into the blackness in which he lives. Her steadfast belief in him guides his tortured soul on a remarkable journey, one of transformation and self-discovery, one that could be the single realization he would desperately need to bring him a new emotion, that of self-approval. As this new awareness is born, his tortured soul swings from the darkness of his life to the light she brings, and he finds himself at a crossroads, one that if taken, could either set him free or destroy him. Will this new world of acceptance she opened his heart to give him enough strength, and the courage he will need to create a new destiny, one that would replace the one he has always known as the bad boy of Aurelias Park?
