Wyczekiwana autobiografia Harry’ego, księcia Sussex, przenosi czytelników do jednego z najbardziej przejmujących obrazów XX wieku: dwóch młodych książąt idących za trumną matki. Świat obserwował w smutku, zastanawiając się, co czują i jak potoczy się ich życie po śmierci Diany, księżnej Walii. Teraz Harry dzieli się swoją historią w książce pełnej surowej szczerości, przełomowej dzięki przenikliwości, samoanalizie i mądrości na temat miłości, która triumfuje nad żalem. Książę Harry postanowił wesprzeć brytyjskie organizacje charytatywne, przekazując część dochodu z publikacji. Wśród darowizn znajduje się 1,5 miliona dolarów dla Sentebale, organizacji wspierającej dzieci i młodzież w Lesotho i Botswanie zarażonych HIV/AIDS, oraz 300 tysięcy funtów dla WellChild, która dąży do zapewnienia opieki dzieciom z chorobami przewlekłymi w ich domach. Harry, mąż, ojciec, działacz humanitarny, weteran wojenny i ambasador zdrowia psychicznego, mieszka w Santa Barbara w Kalifornii z rodziną i trzema psami.
"A brilliant, breathless thriller that kept me guessing to the last shocking page." --Erin Kelly, Sunday Times bestselling author of He Said/She Said An Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestseller. It was supposed to be the perfect reunion: six university friends together again after twenty years. Host Ali finally has the life she always wanted, a career she can be proud of and a wonderful family with her college boyfriend, now husband. But that night her best friend makes an accusation so shocking that nothing will ever be the same again. When Karen staggers in from the garden, bleeding and traumatised, she claims that she has been assaulted--by Ali's husband, Mike. Ali must make a split-second decision: who should she believe? Her horrified husband, or her best friend? With Mike offering a very different version of events, Ali knows one of them is lying--but which? And why? When the ensuing chaos forces her to re-examine the golden era the group shared at university, Ali realises there are darker memories too. Memories that have lain dormant for decades. Memories someone would kill to protect.
"Rosa Larkin is down on her luck in London, so when she inherits a near-derelict corner shop in a quaint Devon village, her first thought is to sell it for cash and sort out her life. But nothing is straightforward about this legacy. While the identity of her benefactor remains a mystery, he - or she - has left one important legal proviso: that the shop cannot be sold, only passed on to somebody who really deserves it. Rosa makes up her mind to give it a go: to put everything she has into getting the shop up and running again in the small seaside community of Cockleberry Bay. But can she do it all on her own? And if not, who will help her succeed - and who among the following will work secretly to see her fail? There is a handsome rugby player, a sexy plumber, a charlatan reporter and a selection of meddling locals. Add in a hit and run incident and the disappearance of a valuable engraved necklace - and what you get is a journey of self-discovery and unpredictable events. With surprising and heartfelt results, Rosa, accompanied at all times by her little sausage dog Hot, will slowly unravel the shadowy secrets of the inheritance, and also bring her own, long-hidden heritage into the light."--Publisher description.
