Ten Seconds

Just Ten SecondsThat's all it took for my life to change forever.I left my posh life in Manhattan and escaped to the Hudson Valley in hopes of a fresh start. It wasn't until I happened upon a bereavement group when I finally found a place I felt understood. I told them my husband was dead when, really, I was the one who had died inside. It was also where I saw the smoldering gaze of Dean Delgado, the single father whom I'd helped just days before.Just Ten SecondsThat's all he wishes he had with his late wife.Despite Dean's widowed status, he has a robust thirst for life. He's a protector and a giver. A man who fixes things with his hands, is devoted to his child, and wants to spend his days with me. I try to avoid him, knowing a woman with my past has no business being in this man's life. With every run-in, he makes me laugh. With every touch, he ignites me. And with every second, he makes me feel like myself again.Just Ten SecondsThat's all it took for me to fall in love with Dean Delgado.I'm in too deep and my secrets are about to be exposed. I only hope he can forgive me for the lies I never meant to tell.

John Sergeant's acclaimed memoir takes us from his somewhat eccentric childhood to his thirty years' service with the BBC. Memorably handbagged by Margaret Thatcher on the steps of the Paris Embassy as she lost the leadership contest, and the man to whom Ron Davis confessed his midnight perambulations on Clapham Common, Sergeant has been the man on the spot in most of the major news stories of the last twenty years. His mordant wit, keen sense of the absurd and acute powers of analysis pervade the book and his understanding of the labyrinthine workings of Westmister - and of the corridors of Broadcasting House - is second to none.

Nathan Maxwell was just an ordinary man endowed with an extraordinary gift that could only be used to free God’s people from the demon of pride. Evil has penetrated and engulfed citizens in the boxing industry, and as a result, their freedom of choice is no longer their free will. People are dying not having a choice beforehand to repent, leaving the road to the underworld their definite end. Mathew Maxwell was called, sunk in the boxing world to tear down and destroy the demon of pride. Red, the leader of the strongholds, used the sport to capture the fighters, and Mathew “The Punisher” Maxwell was used in the sport to free them. Being led by the supernatural, those confronted was only given ten seconds to repentance.

'I hope the Romanian doesn't get through, because I can't pronounce her bloody name.' Allegedly from David Coleman, British radio and TV commentator, at one of his many Olympic coverages, when he thought he was off air. A Lifetime of Training for Just 10 Seconds is a collection of quotations from Olympic athletes, eyewitnesses and commentators through the ages, whether written, broadcast, overheard or misreported. They are inspiring, devastating - often hilarious - and a fascinating insight into the Games, the people who watch and compete in them, and those labouring and slithering behind the scenes. The notes following the quotes give a potted history of the Games and its cast of characters. 'These are the Olympics; you die before you quit.' The great American discus thrower, Al Oerter, winner of four successive gold medals (1956-1968). For the third of these in Tokyo, he competed despite excruciating pain from a torn rib cartilage, strapped up and iced.

When Toby Roberts told his family and his friends he was forgoing a future as a professional soccer player to go to college and become a policeman they thought he was crazy. By the end of his first year in uniform he had killed one man, shot and wounded another and seemed to be in hot water with his brass and the city politicians. Then he discovered another, darker side of police work that had its own unique methods of dealing with criminals. Determined to pursue his career in law enforcement, he plunged deeper into the system, discovering the corruption that crept into the system from unexpected sources. Eventually Toby found that he had to take the law into his own hands and accept unconventional help to protect the innocent and punish the guilty.
