But when Akulov accidentally thwarts the armed robbery of a Chicago Bank, he pits himself against both the Russian Bratva and the CIA, setting into motion a spiralling sequence of events which will bring his past back to haunt him, and potentially turn his future to ashes...

She may be too old to start a fight, but she's not too old to finish one. At sixty-nine years old and with two black belts to her name, former nun Monica Barrett has never backed down from a fight. So when a woman turns up on her doorstep with an attacker on her heels, Monica is quick to step in. But this assailant has powers-he moves with uncanny speed, strikes with brutal accuracy, and isn't after the woman at all. Instead, he wants what she has: a smooth, flat piece of rock that she throws to Monica. The instant she touches the stone, everything Monica has ever known turns upside down. Inhuman power surges through her, and she destroys the attacker. Horrified, she is determined to rid herself of the stone and whatever it holds. Then more attacks follow, and suddenly, the stone's dark power is all that stands between her and losing everything she holds dear. Like it or not, Monica has become its keeper ... And its wielder.

Dive into bestseller Jane Lovering's novel about book-obsessed Andi's search for her very own happy ending. Andi Glover loves nothing more than a good book. Any book in fact because when you're raised by unconventional parents who think school's for squares, alongside a deeply conventional sister who escapes home as soon as she can, fiction is eminently preferable to reality. The only problem is that fiction isn't the best way to learn about the real world. When Andi starts her new live-in job at Templewood Hall for the eccentric Lady Dawe and her enigmatic son Hugo, it's tempting to think she's fallen into the pages of one of her favourite gothic novels. But the plot twists at Templewood Hall are stranger than fiction and it's not long before Andi questions if she's living in a romance novel or a whodunnit. Bumps in the night, a missing heir, ghostly apparitions and secrets that have been kept for generations - the mysteries mount up. Then there's the inscrutable gardener who seems to appear when needed - is Andi right to hope for a happily-ever-after end to her story?Funny, heart-warming and full of twists and turns, this story is perfect for all fans of Cathy Bramley, Katie Fforde and Beth Moran. Readers love Jane Lovering: 'Jane Lovering could write a shopping list and make it laugh out loud funny and heart-breakingly emotional... An enjoyable and captivating read... a gorgeous page-turner infused with warmth, intensity, magic and humour readers will want to recommend to all of their friends and family.' 'This book is just an unputdownable delight, really heartwarming and just the tonic for a dreary January.' 'Jane Lovering is an author who never disappoints. A lovely book with a fantastic setting, which made me feel as though I was looking through a window and part of the story.' 'Wow. Just wow! I have long been a fan of Jane Lovering but this book far surpasses any of my previous favourites.' 'A unique, well-written story that is uplifting, emotional, and humorous-well worth reading.' 'I enjoyed the book very much, principally because of the relationships and the characters who kept up the pace of the narrative. It is an entertaining read with sparky dialogue and plenty of humour.' Praise for Jane Lovering: 'I adored the dual timeline aspect of this gorgeous story and discovering the secrets from the past. Beautifully written and both heartbreaking and heartwarming' Jessica Redland 'A funny, warm-hearted read, filled with characters you'll love.' Matt Dunn on A Country Escape
