Thriller

Ce qui a commencé comme une aventure s'est vite changé en enfer. Piper Johnson est enthousiaste à l'idée de passer du temps au Timor Oriental avec sa meilleure amie, bénévole au Corps de la Paix... jusqu'à ce que des troubles civils éclatent dans tout le pays, dont une attaque à l'orphelinat que les femmes visitaient. Avec l'aide d'une équipe de SEAL envoyée pour secourir les employés du gouvernement, Piper s'enfuit avec les uniques survivantes, trois jeunes orphelines. Piper n'a pas pu sauver son amie, mais elle refuse de laisser les filles aux griffes des trafiquants d'enfants qui sévissent dans la capitale pauvre du pays. Mais pour les ramener avec elle aux États-Unis, elle a besoin d'un plan radical et complètement dingue... quelque chose qu'elle ne peut pas faire toute seule. Ce qui a commencé comme une mission a vite cédé le pas au destin. Depuis qu'il a frôlé la mort lors d'une opération militaire, Beckett Morgan, surnommé Ace, n'a pas de temps pour les regrets. La vie est bien trop courte. Ainsi, quand il apprend que la belle femme courageuse et altruiste qu'il a secourue a plus de chances de faire sortir trois orphelines du pays si elle est mariée, il n'hésite pas. Ace l'épouse sur-le-champ, gagnant du même coup la famille dont il a toujours rêvé. Avec le temps, il sait que son respect pour Piper peut se changer en amour. En attendant, il doit la sauver, elle et leurs nouvelles filles, d'une incursion rebelle menaçante. Protéger ces filles à l'étranger pourrait bien être la partie la plus facile de la mission de l'équipe. Les protéger contre la menace qui les attend au pays sera le plus grand combat qu'Ace ait jamais mené. * Un Sanctuaire pour Piper est le quatrième tome de la série Forces Très Spéciales : L'Héritage. Chaque tome peut se lire indépendamment des autres et leur fin ne laisse pas le lecteur sur un suspense.

Journalist Willie Morton unravels a thirty-year old conspiracy over the 1985 death of Treasury mandarin Matthew McConnacher nineteen days after his report, claiming an independent Scotland could be economically viable, was classified. Intrigued by the state's reluctance to declassify the report, he probes the mystery of McConnacher's death and learns of a power-grab at the heart of the Cameron government led by Commander Neil Smyth, chair of the National Security Committee - whom Morton has reason to fear - and a secret military deal with hardliners in Spain to crush Catalan nationalists. With his intern Ysabet Santanac arrested in Barcelona, Morton is high on the hit list as deadly forces unleashed by London and Madrid converge to bury an inconvenient truth.
