Angels In The Gloom
It is March 1916, and Joseph Reavley, badly wounded rescuing a colleague from no-man's land, is sent home on leave. Cared for by his sister Hannah, Joseph finds recovery slow and hard. It's a delight to both of them when Shanley Corcoran, an old friend, comes to visit. Corcoran confides to Joseph that his invention that will paralyse the German U-boats is nearing completion. Soon afterwards, however, disaster strikes. A brilliant young scientist is found murdered and it's clear that someone has been betraying secrets to the enemy. Joseph's brother Matthew, of the S.I.S., comes down to investigate, and together the two men embark on a search that will solve the crime and lead them to the spy.

Tenacious
Thomas Paine Kydd is in Halifax enjoying the recognition and favour of his fellow officers when Tenacious is summoned to join Horatio Nelson's taskforce on an urgent reconnaissance mission. Intelligence suggests the French Revolution is about to set the Mediterranean ablaze, but Bonaparte's fleet is nowhere to be found. Nelson and his 'Band of Brothers' begin a desperate search for him. Kydd's newfound ambition fuels his desire to be at the forefront of the hunt. But with power comes responsibility; with responsibility, accountability. Friendships are tested, lives are lost, and the war is a long way from being won.

I'm a Stanger Here Myself
As a small child growing up on her parents' flower farm in the West Country, Kate always felt like an outsider. She wanted more from life than her well-meaning parents, Neville and Nora, could offer her. Kate had brains, looks and ambition. She could make something of herself. Years later, Kate has become a successful businesswoman, and a wellknown name in the town. She has friends in high places, notably Hector Mordaunt, her married lover, and Shirley Pringle, new owner of Melbury Hall - but Kate is still lonely. She will have many battles to fight and many lessons to learn before she can come to terms with herself, and recognize the value of family ties and friendship.
