    8 Books in one set. Maverick (Brothers; Pack Special #1) Maverick wasn’t looking for a mate, but coming across the water nymph that was bathing in the pools of the waterfall on his land was like a dream come true. That was until he took her scent - witch, and a feisty one. This could go wrong on so many levels that it wasn’t worth contemplating... but there was little choice when one of his pack made it clear that a witch wasn’t welcome. Rowan (Brothers; Pack Special #2) As one of the pack’s enforcers, Rowan was used to dealing with trouble when it came their way. But now, he had found himself in a whole heap of trouble with a feisty witch that brought problems of her own and a past that was deadly. As if wooing an unwilling mate wasn’t enough of a challenge for him - now he needed to fight to keep her alive when that trouble came to his door. Callum (Brothers; Pack Special #3) Callum wasn’t looking for trouble but it never seemed far enough away for him to turn his back on it when it arrived, and arrive it did, in the shapely, curvy form of Morgan, a feisty witch that was running from something that was sure to catch up to her if she stayed in one place too long. The trouble was that she was a mate, and she wasn’t going anywhere fast. With the pack in danger, and two near death’s door - how was Callum ever going to woo his mate and keep her safe? Tyler (Brothers; Pack Special #4) Sometimes the scariest monsters are the ones that reside within ourselves. Tyler was inconsolable. Connor had tried to talk some sense into the bear but he’d moved into a cave at the waterfalls and was planning to hibernate for the winter. Mari had visited him, but she was reluctant to go into the cave, and he couldn’t face her. Tyler’s guilt for hurting a female, a friend was tearing him apart. Could anyone reach deep within the big bear shifters soul and heal his wounds? Maybe someone who had demons of her own, but would she share them, and would he walk away from the one person who could save his soul in order to save her? Mari (Brothers; Pack Special #5) It came as no surprise to anyone that Mari didn’t like the witches - she’d made that plain enough, but now, as she was putting some serious thought into leaving the pack, something happened that threw her entire world into chaos. Trouble was always brewing when Mari was around, but this was trouble of the worst kind, and when it arrived on her doorstep, who would put themselves on the line to save her? Justice (Brothers; Pack Special #6) Justice could feel it within him, the ache, the need to find his own mate. He hated that winter had closed down the mountain for it meant that he would have to wait, lost, alone, until the thaw set in before he could even begin to hope that she would come to him. What he should have known was where fate was concerned to always expect the unexpected. Not only did he uncover his one true mate, but he found that he needed to fight, not only to woo her from the demons that hounded her, but to keep her alive. Dexter (Brothers; Pack Special #7) Dexter was back on the mountain and he was as close to become a rogue as he wished to get. His bad attitude matched his bad reputation, and it wasn’t going to be the home coming that any of the brothers wanted if Dexter couldn’t get his act together, get his head straight, and his wolf in check. But there was way more trouble to come in the form of a witch that could give just as much attitude as he could dish out in her direction. Would either of them survive to become mates? Could she tame Dexter’s rogue side and bad boy ways? Or would they both die trying. Connor (Brothers; Pack Special #8) Connor had waited so long for fate to send a mate his way that he’d given up hope that one day it might happen. He wondered over the years if he’d missed his chance, and now, as his friends were settling into life with their mates, and the pack would soon start a new generation of pups. He was resigned to living vicariously through their lives and loves. Then there she was; his mate, his destiny, all wrapped up in a whole heap of trouble that would see him having to fight to keep them both alive. Facing a vampire as old and as powerful as he was wasn’t his idea of a dream wooing. But, he wasn’t about to see her torn from his side now that he had found her. He would have her. Or he would die fighting to keep her alive. Join the White Wolf shifters as they live and find love on the mountain. This book has a cover change.

    After growing up in an Irish Catholic household, he was sent to a grammar school run by priests, from which he eventually emerged unscathed. A combination of O Levels and rock ’n’ roll led him into the bowels of Manchester’s club land, where he worked alongside strippers and Chinese strongman acts while revising the War of Jenkin’s Ear.Testosterone and guilt struggled for mastery in his lapsing Catholic chest and trousers until testosterone won and, with guilt still on his back like Quasimodo’s hump, he toured the dancehalls of Northern England in a VW panel van, taking rock ’n’ roll to one-horse towns where the horse had bolted.Warm, nostalgic and very funny, Mike Harding’s memoir of his early life in post-war Manchester is as idiosyncratic and engaging as the man himself.

    Mark Thomas' fourth book is a funny account of a challenge that had national repercussions. The challenge was to perform 100 acts of dissent within the year or donate £1000 to UKIP. (Nothing like a little incentive.) The targets were multiple; from corporate greed and public service inanities to infringements of rights. This is his account of the adventure and is sure to inspire. This book contains many photos and graphics, and so has been produced as a fixed-format colour ebook. It is only recommended for the newer, colour ebook readers.

Is there any way, you could, for a moment, rule the world justly?Darkly comic, How to Rule The World follows Baxter's battle for truth, justice and classy colour grading as it takes him from the pass of Thermopylae, to the peacocking serial killers of Medieval France, and the war in Syria. A trip from the Garden of Eden to Armageddon, plus reggae.Demonstrating Fischer's inimitable talent for eviscerating social satire, How to the Rule the World is a magnificently funny read to stand alongside his best loved works, the Man Booker shortlisted Under the Frog, The Thought Gang and Don't Read This Book If You're Stupid, all of which Corsair will publish in e-book next year.

    How did he get here? From the vantage point of his prison cell, Toby pens his memoir, trying to piece together how he fell so far, all the while fielding the uninvited literary opinions of his murderous cellmate, Gary.What Toby unspools is a tale of twisted bureaucracy, public servants gone rogue, and the ever-present pervasive stench of rotting prawns (don't ask). Realizing that his political career is far from the noble endeavor he'd once imagined it would be, Toby makes a bid for freedom...before the terrible realization dawns: it's impossible to get fired from the public service. Refusing to give up (or have to pay for his relocation fee), Toby's attempts to get fired grow more and more extreme, and he finds himself being propelled higher and higher through the ranks of bureaucracy.
