Nick And The Nasty Knight

Everyone’s afraid of the Nasty Knight. Everyone? Not quite. Nick has had enough of slaving away for the rich knight and one day he runs away. But what bad luck! Deep in the woods, he is captured by a gang of thieves. And they are naturally delighted with their catch. After all, robbers love a good kidnapping, but even more so, they love gold. Luckily, Nick knows just where the Nasty Knight keeps his treasure.

Of course knights take naps - when they're not busy saving people in distress, chasing dragons, riding in jousts or watching the court jester. In bouncy verse the author answer every question children might have about being a knight, plus some they would never have thought of Nick Sharratt's bold bright illustrations add lashings of zest and good humour.

A FATHER, FIRST AND FOREMOST Royal physician takes leave to help his son. Darkly handsome doctor Sir Dominic Chiara raised female pulses everywhere he went. But few admirers guessed at the torment behind his coolly assessing gaze. Nick's son had stopped speaking—and Nick, who had been knighted for his invaluable service to the royal family, did not know why. Until a beautiful new nanny offered hope… Children's therapist Sarah Hunter answered a royal summons to help Dr. Chiara and his son. But her cover as the nanny was soon blown away by her discovery that the child had witnessed a murder—and by her attraction to his father. Falling in love with a man who treated kings would be foolish, yet as she helped father and child, she couldn't seem to help herself…

Sexy. Brave. The biggest pain in my workaholic ass. Killian O’Hara can never be mine. I try not to notice how he’s broader, ripped or the way he still smiles. I try not to care when he has a date. I try not to remember when we were together and how I broke his heart. And there are too many reasons why I can’t be his. I’m married to my job as a lawyer. He’s still my brother’s best friend. And I have a secret. One I need to protect him from. Ex-military, Killian’s now responsible for keeping me safe when a case I’m working on gets deadly. But can I keep my heart safe from him? WHITE KNIGHT is an achingly steamy second chance/brother's best friend romance with no cheating and a happily ever after. It's part of the CALLAGHAN GREEN SERIES but can be enjoyed as a standalone.

In the first book in an exciting new coming-of-age fantasy series from the author of the Age of Fire series, an impoverished girl enters into a military order of dragonriders, but her path won't be as easy or as straightforward as she expected. Fourteen-year-old Ileth grew up in an orphanage, and thanks to her stutter was never thought to be destined for much beyond kitchen work and cleaning. But she's dreamed of serving with the dragons ever since a childhood meeting with a glittering silver dragon and its female dragoneer. For years she waits, and as soon as she is old enough to join, Ileth runs away to become a novice dragoneer at the ancient human-dragon fortress of the Serpentine. While most of her fellow apprentices are from rich and influential families, Ileth must fight for her place in the world, even if it includes a duel with her boss at the fish-gutting table. She's then sent off to the dragon-dancers after a foolish kiss with a famously named boy and given charge of a sickly old dragon with a mysterious past. But she finds those trials were nothing when she has to take the place of a dead dragoneer and care for his imprisoned dragon in enemy lands. . . .
