Romanus by Mary Calmes5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() So he’ll have to take his quest to the source of the threat in a gamble to protect L’Ange, Linus, and any future they might have together. It’s not until Linus’s past and Arman’s crusade exposes their secrets and opens L’Ange to attack that Arman realizes waiting any longer is a risk he just can’t take. Arman knows Linus should be afraid of the predator stalking him, but Linus is still drawn to him like a moth to a flame, no matter how much he tries to deny his instincts. Linus has lived alone for more than seven years, sheltered at L’Ange under an assumed name and hiding secrets of his own, including his terrifying attraction to the most dangerous man he’s ever met. ![]() Predator and prey just don’t mix-but Arman won’t give him up. Despite Arman’s reputation as a loner, the only thing he needs to complete his life is Linus. The reason for this vengeance is a secret Arman trusts with no one, quite the opposite of his obvious longtime pursuit of the château’s overseer, Linus Hobbes. Only a privileged few know L’Ange’s head of security Arman de Soto is a shifter, and even fewer know he’s been systematically killing off a pack of werewolves. ![]()

Agent zigzag and operation mincemeat5/29/2023 ![]() Using fraud, imagination and seduction, Winston Churchill's team of spies spun a web of deceit so elaborate and so convincing that they began to believe it themselves. ![]() The brainchild of an eccentric RAF officer and a brilliant Jewish barrister, this great deception involved an extraordinary cast of characters including Ian Fleming, who would go on to write the James Bond stories a famous forensic pathologist a beautiful secret service secretary a submarine captain three novelists an irascible admiral who loved fly-fishing and a dead, Welsh tramp. His mission: to convince the Germans that instead of attacking Sicily, the Allied armies would invade Greece. ![]() It hoodwinked Nazi espionage chiefs, sent German troops racing in the wrong direction, and saved thousands of lives by deploying a secret agent who was different, in one crucial respect, from any spy before or since: he was dead. Operation Mincemeat was the most successful wartime deception ever attempted, and certainly the strangest. One April morning in 1943, a sardine fisherman spotted the corpse of a British soldier floating in the sea off the coast of Spain, setting in train a course of events that would change the course of World War Two. ![]()
