Martial Law 1: Patriotic Treason

"Why doth treason never prosper?Because if it prosper, none dare call it treason." Humanity has reached out into space and settled nearly three hundred worlds, but all is not well in the Human Sphere. The United Nations is locked into a war with the Colonies, entire worlds are being devastated by war, civilisation is on the verge of falling apart and Earth is on the verge of complete environmental collapse. The war is unwinnable, yet the UN has no choice, but to keep fighting. The Political Class will not accept a defeat. It would mean the end of their power. A new recruit into the United Nations Peace Force, John Walker, is the only man who can save humanity—at the cost of everything he’d ever loved. This is his story.

The Handbook to Handling His Lordship

The Handbook to Handling His Lordship

Suzanne Enoch

Romance

THE HANDBOOK FOR HANDLING HIS LORDSHIPSUZANNE ENOCHEEmily Portsman has a secret, and three years ago she decided the best way to keep it would be to work at the Tantalus Club, a notorious gaming establishment for gentlemen. It’s not the sort of work a beautiful, well-bred governess would ever consider—unless she’s hiding from her past and a man who wants to destroy her present… Nate Stokes, Earl of Westfall, is a supremely accomplished former spy more at home on London’s seedy streets than in any glittery ballroom. His peers know him only as a bookish fellow who can find anything—or anyone. When the Marquis of Ebberling hires him to find a murderess, Nate’s search leads him to the Tantalus Club and Emily Portsman. In a game where no one is who they seem and when every conversation is a deadly dance of trust and desire, the only thing Nate knows for sure is that once he gets Emily in his arms, he will never let go…Review"A nicely crafted romance that brings a spy novel sensibility to a damsel-in-distress fugitive trope, with entertaining and rewarding results." —Kirkus Reviews“A joyride of a novel…a sensual romantic caper sure to win applause.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)“Reading a book by Suzanne Enoch is like stepping into a time machine. She so adeptly transports readers….”—New York Journal of Books“A highly gifted author.”—Romantic Times“With her carefully drawn characters and plot chock-full of political intrigue, greed, and scandal, Enoch has put a nifty Regency spin on the Beauty and the Beast story.” —Booklist“Suzanne Enoch has a gift for piquing a reader's interest.”—Sun JournalFrom the Back Cover“One of my very favorite authors.”—Julia Quinn WHAT COULD BE MORE TEMPTINGEmily Portsman has a secret, and three years ago she decided the best way to keep it would be to work at the Tantalus Club, a notorious gaming establishment for gentlemen.
