      »Bogata i topla priča, kao čokolada!« Mary Chamberlain Brazil 1824. Proslavljena spisateljica Maria Graham kreće na opasno putovanje iz Brazila u London kako bi svome izdavaču dostavila svoja dva najnovija romana. Godinu dana nakon gubitka svog voljenog muža, Maria je puna nade u budućnost i odlučna živjeti svoj život kao slobodna žena i znanstvenica, daleko od ograničenja britanskog društva. Za ženu koja putuje sama to putovanje nosi mnoštvo opasnosti, a dok oko nje bjesni brazilski građanski rat, jedini brod koji kreće prema Europi pripada kapetanu Jamesu Hendersonu, šarmantnom krijumčaru kakaovca. Tijekom dugotrajne plovidbe prema Londonu, Maria otkiva dvije šokantne tajne- neodoljivu privlačnost prema zagonetnom kapetanu, kao i opasnu tajnu koja je može dovesti u pogibeljnu opasnost…

      'The best thriller writer alive' - Ken Follett I'm not a typical lawyer. I don't maintain a pretty office filled with mahogany and leather. I don't belong to a big firm, prestigious or otherwise. I don't do good works through the bar association. I'm a lone gunman, a rogue who fights bad systems and hates injustice . . . Sebastian Rudd takes the cases no one else wants to take: the drug-addled punk accused of murdering two little girls; a crime lord on death row; a homeowner who shot at a SWAT team. Rudd believes that every person accused of a crime is entitled to a fair trial - even if he has to cheat to get one. He antagonises people from both sides of the law: his last office was firebombed, either by drug dealers or cops. He doesn't know or care which. But things are about to get even more complicated for Sebastian. Arch Swanger is the prime suspect in the abduction and presumed murder of 21-year-old Jiliana Kemp, the daughter of the assistant chief of police. When Swanger asks Sebastian to represent him, he lets Sebastian in on a terrible secret . . . one that will threaten everything Sebastian holds dear. Gritty, witty, and impossible to put down, Rogue Lawyer is the master of the legal thriller at his very best.

      Captain Will Laurence has been at sea since he was just twelve years old. Rising on merit to captain his own vessel, Laurence has earned himself a beautiful fiancée, society's esteem and a golden future. But the war is not going well. It seems Britain can only wait as Napoleon plans to invade. After a skirmish with a French ship, Laurence finds himself in charge of a rear cargo: a dragon egg bound for the Emperor himself. Dragons are much prized: properly trained, they can mount a fearsome attack from the skies. One of Laurence's men must take the beast in hand and joins the aviators' cause, thus relinquishing all hope of a normal life. But when the newly-hatched dragon decides to imprint itself on Laurence, the horrified captain's world falls apart. Gone is his golden future: gone his social standing, and soon his beautiful fiancée, as he is consigned to be the constant companion and trainer of the fighting dragon Temeraire ... [back cover].
