From New York Times bestselling author Lynn Kurland comes a story of romance that spans the centuries . . . Olivia Drummond is finished with the family business: no more mysteries, treasure hunts, or collectable anything made prior to the year 2000. She's come to England for a fresh start, which she'll get to right after she survives a family reunion at the feet of a spectacular castle. What she hasn't expected is to meet a man carrying a medieval sword who turns her world upside-down and leaves her with more questions than answers. Jackson Kilchurn, heir of a powerful medieval family, has spent his life scoffing at paranormal oddities. When he finds himself pushed through a portal into a different century, his good sense tells him to turn around and go home. He would, if he hadn't dropped a key he needs-or if he hadn't just met the woman of his dreams in the last place he'd ever thought he would find her. Jackson's past soon collides with Olivia's present, though, and unless a few dangerous mysteries are solved, their future together is not at all certain . . .

With the war providing escape, how long will their happiness last? Set during the advent of the Second World War, Margaret Thornton's It's a Lovely Day Tomorrow follows two sisters as they discover independence for the first time... as well as love. Perfect for fans of Pam Evans and Maureen Lee. 'Warm-hearted, evocative saga of life in Blackpool during World War II' - British Book News Jenny Carter has always led a sheltered life, protected by those she loves. Leaving school at fourteen, she is faced with no alternative but to help her mother, Annie, run Pleasant View boarding house in Blackpool. To the holidaymakers it is a welcoming retreat, but to Jenny and her younger sister Violet, who struggle to keep up with their mother's intolerable demands, it feels more like the workhouse. Then Jenny meets Tom Bradshaw, an idealistic young Yorkshire lad who not only stands up to Annie's caustic remarks, but whisks Jenny straight off her feet and down the aisle. Happy though their marriage is and much as she loves their young daughter, Jenny feels she has slipped uncontrollably from dominated daughter into doting wife and mother, and there are times when she yearns for the independence she has been denied. Then Germany invades Poland, and Tom, eager for a slice of the action, joins up to fight in the Second World War. The ensuing war years provide Jenny and her sister with their first taste of freedom: Violet finds work in an aircraft factory, while Jenny takes in a little evacuee. And before long, both girls have begun to fall in love... What readers are saying about It's a Lovely Day Tomorrow: 'If you like wartime stories, you will love this. Very down to earth about what went on behind the scenes, and very realistic' 'A good family saga which I love and could read forever' 'Five stars'

After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen—Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss, and he is torn between two worlds that will each be forever changed. Powerful and engrossing, capturing both the rich pageantry and stark realities of life in feudal Japan, Shōgun is a critically acclaimed powerhouse of a book. Heart-stopping, edge-of-your-seat action melds seamlessly with intricate historical detail and raw human emotion. Endlessly compelling, this sweeping saga captivated the world to become not only one of the best-selling novels of all time but also one of the highest-rated television miniseries, as well as inspiring a nationwide surge of interest in the culture of Japan. Shakespearean in both scope and depth, Shōgun is, as the New York Times put it, “...not only something you read—you live it.” Provocative, absorbing, and endlessly fascinating, there is only one: Shōgun.
