Opposites attract... A year ago, Navy SEAL John Brady saved heiress Tansy Leighton from a hijacked yacht in the Mediterranean, and from the terrorist sympathizers who were demanding millions for her safe return. As the anniversary of the hijacking approaches, Tansy's father, financier Walter Leighton, receives a note threatening his daughter's life. And in spite of the best private security Daddy's money can buy, the only man Tansy trusts to guard her back, is John Brady. But as bullets start to fly around the Leightons' Main Line estate, can the coalminer's son and the billionaire's daughter survive long enough to give their relationship a shot? Or will their differences doom their budding romance before it has a chance to get off the ground?

Widely acclaimed as Massie's finest novel, A Question of Loyalties engages with all the complexities and ambiguities of loyalty, nationality and family as they are put under threat by betrayal, by errors of judgement, or simply friendship. Etienne de Balafré, half French, half English and raised in South Africa, returns to post-war France to unravel the tangled history of his own father. Was Lucien de Balafré a patriot who served his country as best he could in difficult times, or a treacherous collaborator in the Vichy government? Rife with the anguish of hindsight and the irony of circumstance, this powerful book brilliantly explores the ties between fathers and sons and the pains of love and duty in a period of European history that is still characterised by wilful denial and hatred.

EDITORIAL REVIEW: **Ah, the life of the upper-crust: decadent, flaky and not so good for the heart.** Jane Lofton has everything she ever dreamed of: a high-powered career, a fabulous home, a wealthy husband, David, and a beautiful daughter, Brynn. Of course, David *also* has a new girlfriend spending his old money. Brynn *also* has a therapist helping her articulate her contempt for her mother. And Jane *also* has… …an obligation to the Man Upstairs. A chance meeting between her BMW and an eighteen-wheeler prompts Jane to make a deal: let her live and she'll dedicate herself to Doing Good. Whatever that means. Jane's platinum-card kung fu has taught her how to spend, but not how to give—turns out it's actually pretty hard! But when her country-club life crumbles, Jane is faced with an even bigger challenge: replacing all her dreams and salvaging her soul. Wise, witty and relentlessly real, *The Social Climber of Davenport Heights* (Originally published as *Doing Good*) is a story about discovering the difference between what something costs…and what it's worth.
