Beautiful and talented actress, poet and fashion icon, Mary Robinson was
one of the most famous women of her time - yet she died virtually penniless,

loved - her father, her husband and, most seriously, by the Prince of Wales,
later George IV, for whom Mary gave up her career, her husband and her
independence, only to be cruelly abandoned. This is her enthralling story: a
tale of ambition, passion, scandal and heartbreak.

England, 1814
Flick—more properly known as Lady Felicity
Forster—was twelve when she decided she was going to marry her handsome
neighbor Darius Grantley. Now, embarking on her second season, she's no nearer
to that lofty ambition. She commits to making Darius fall in love with her, if
only he'd take a break from pleading the case of the common criminal as a
barrister at the Old Bailey.
Darius adores the lovely, high-spirited younger
sister of the Marquess of Denby, but he's all too aware that Flick is far above
him in social status, not to mention fortune. Winning the high-profile Cuthbert
case will earn him a promised appointment to King's Counsel and just enough
income to provide a home for his well-born lady.
But the cards are stacked against him. Not only do
the newspapers trumpet his clients' guilt, but a powerful peer bribes the witnesses
and threatens Flick unless Darius sabotages his own case…

City Fiction

Adrian Dexter is a corporate financier struggling through the turbulence of recession in 2012. Far away from the City of London, the love of his life waits for him in Johannesburg – as does his mortal enemy and notorious South African gangster, Nigel de Groot. As if that wasn’t enough, he is about to turn sixty.
When Adrian meets the beautiful Helen Greenwood and they embark on a passionate affair, he begins to feel young again. But his newfound happiness is about to be rudely interrupted...
Not only does Helen become pregnant – and there is doubt as to who is the father – but the mother is subsequently kidnapped as Nigel de Groot tries to hold Adrian to ransom. The rescue by DCI Sarah Rudd, now stationed at Islington Police Station, is dramatic and she is badly injured. She loses her libido and marital pressures follow.
De Groot returns to the UK and says that he’s going to kill Adrian. He offers him a clue: “Seventeen days to go. This webb never meant you to escape but don’t see red.” This defeats the brains of the Metropolitan police and a private detective agency.
DCI Rudd finally cracks it and races to a well known London landmark where she is to gain international recognition for what was later described as one of the bravest acts of courage ever committed by a serving police office.
Adrian, meanwhile, flies to Johannesburg to make a last desperate attempt to find happiness...pity about those nasty fatty deposits lurking under the surface.
As Sarah and Nick Rudd walk through St. James’s Park she has some interesting news for her husband.
