The Maxton Bequest
by Alison A. York"Money can't buy everything." That's what Ros told the arrogant Dan Maxton when he tried to buy the run-down stables she'd inherited from his grandfather. Everything she held dear was wrapped up in the studio she'd established there--and she fought tooth and nail to hang on to her principles. It wasn't easy--especially when she realized whichever way she turned, her future happiness was at stake. Even more difficult was admitting that she'd fallen for a man who came from such a different world than her own!
A Maxwell Loss
by Gwen KirkwoodPünktlich um 15.10 Uhr treffen sich die Eltern jeden Tag an der Featherstone-Grundschule im englischen Denbury, um ihre Kinder abzuholen. Für ein paar von ihnen sind aus Bekanntschaften am Schultor Freundschaften fürs Leben entstanden, die sich gegenseitig durch ihre Dramen, Geheimnissen und Sorgen begleiten. Als die attraktive Karrierefrau Alana die Identität ihres unehelichen Kindes preisgibt, erwartet sie nicht, dass die Konsequenzen ganz so extrem sind. Ehemaliges tschechisches Au-pair und natürliche Schönheit Dana findet Glück in ihrem geheimen Nebenjob, aber wonach sie sich wirklich sehnt, ist ein zweites Kind. Der prügelnde Ehemann von armer Mutter Mo führt sie auf einen Weg, den sie nie für möglich gehalten hätte. Supermutter Joan muss damit klarkommen, als das Leben ihr einen verheerenden Schlag verpasst. Und was ist mit dem schwulen Vater Gordon? Wird er es schaffen, die elterlichen Herausforderungen zu meistern und gleichzeitig mit seinem gebrochenen Herzen fertig zu werden? Vier sehr unterschiedliche Schulmütter. Ein liebenswerter Vater. Und die ineinander verflochtenen Irrungen und Wirrungen, die ein Jahr am Schultor mit sich bringen.

A Maxwell Misled
by Gwen KirkwoodWhen Della found a stray dog living wild with her thirteen puppies on a beach in Rhodes she was determined not to get involved. But fate had other ideas and Della brought Lindy back to England. Lindy had already proved herself to be a true survivor, but she was more of a survivor than Della had ever dreamed. Over the next eight years she survived a series of events, any one of which might have finished off a lesser dog than Lindy. They included: being stampeded by a herd of angry cows; a rare life threatening form of anaemia; being swept down the river after chasing ducks; falling out of a car travelling at speed, and getting lost for a night in a forest. The Dog with Nine Lives is both poignant and humorous. Dog lovers will love it. It is the true story of a very special dog.
A Maxwell Mourned
by Gwen KirkwoodTide of Fortune, is a thrilling adventure story set on the high seas. It has all the ingredients that readers who are familiar with the writing of Patrick O'Brian, Alexander Kent and CS Forester will recognise: perilous seascapes, bloody sea battles, races against time and tide, gallant sea captains and salty crew, exotic locations but with a twist! The story is told from the point of view of an inexperienced nineteen-year-old girl, Kerenza Vyvyan. Her voyage on the packet ship Kestrel is not only a journey to ransom her mother and sister held captive by the Governor of Tangier but also proves to be a journey of self-discovery. Kerenza bravely faces the various disasters that befall her on board with a growing strength of character and fortitude she never knew she had. Jane Jackson's heroine, Kerenza, prefigures the feisty women of 20th century novels rising above the traditional role mapped out for a woman of her time. However, this is not all action and adventure for during the course of her travels Kerenza regains the love and trust of Kestrel's captain, Nick Penrose, who had broken her heart earlier.
