Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The official TV-tie in to the popular Channel 4 programme 'Penelope Keith's Hidden Villages' Explore the most interesting and beautiful examples of British village life in this lavishly illustrated book, published as a companion volume to the highly successful Channel 4 television series, 'Penelope Keith's Hidden Villages'. Featuring gorgeous illustrations and dust jackets from Brian Cook's iconic designs, the book explores the villages as they appeared then and now. It's hard not to be enchanted by rural villages. From thatched roofs, charming churches, bunting, cream teas and the local landscape, they capture our imaginations. Structured by region, this book follows Penelope's journey through Britain across all four series, including the idyllic villages found in the Costwolds, the cosy cottages of East Anglia and the treasures nestled in the North Yorkshire moors. Pictured alongside Brian Cook's iconic illustrations, Hidden Villages of Britain takes you through the fascinating history and the curious customs and characters unique to each village and how they survive in the present. From bog snorkelling in Llanwrtyd Wells and gravy wrestling in Stacksteads to cheese rolling down Cooper's Hill in Brockworth and dwile flocking (where contestants seek to soak their opponents with a beer-soaked cloth outside the village pub), snippets of the history, life and traditions of each village are fully explored. Whether you are looking for a place for your next holiday, a guide to Britain's rural landscape or have a love for Britain's most inspirational settings, this book is perfect for the armchair traveller.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Callan O'Malley embodies everything that should scare Terri Barclay. O'Malley freelances as a gun runner for a biker gang, the dark secrets of her past influencing her present. Thrown together by circumstance and unexpected complications of living in the biker world, the women's lives are turned into chaos. Loyal friends of past and present, add to the mixture which brings the two women closer than they ever thought possible. Terri, however, is hiding her own secrets. Secrets that could very well get her--or O'Malley--killed. Terri must walk a fine line between what she now wants and what she is forced into by her sense of duty. She must redefine her approach on life and love and acknowledge that not everything is as black and white as she once believed. She soon discovers that living on the edge with a woman such as O'Malley can be an exciting yet dangerous place.
