In the tradition of Jennifer Robson, comes this compelling debut that weaves the fascinating story of a young woman who must risk her life as a spy to help stop Napoleon’s invasion of Great Britain in the winter of 1803. Though the daughter of an English baronet, Lisbeth has defied convention by eloping to France with her new husband. But when he breaks her heart by abandoning her, she has nowhere to turn and must work in a local tavern. Her only hope for the future is to be reunited with her young son who is being raised by her mother-in law. A seasoned spy known by his operatives as Tidewatcher, Duncan apprenticed under Lisbeth’s father and pledged to watch over his mentor’s only daughter while he searches the Channel region for evidence that Bonaparte has built a fleet to invade Britain. But unpredictable Lisbeth challenges his lifelong habit of distance. Eccentric, brilliant American inventor Robert Fulton is working on David Bushnell’s “turtle”—the first fully submersible ship—when he creates brand-new torpedo technology, which he plans to sell to the French Navy. But when his relationship with Bonaparte sours, he accepts Tidewatcher’s help to relocate to the French side of the Channel, but he refuses to share his invention. With an entire army encamped in the region, blocking off all access, Tidewatcher must get that submersible, along with someone who knows how to use it, to uncover Bonaparte’s great secret. When Lisbeth is asked to pose as a housekeeper and charm Fulton so she can learn to use the submersible before the invasion fleet sails, she will be forced to sacrifice herself for her country—but is she willing to sacrifice her heart when she’s already lost it to another…? A fast-paced, deeply-researched, and richly imagined novel, The Tide Watchers explores a long-hidden, chapter of Bonaparte’s history.

De Getijdewachters, een met vaart geschreven, zorgvuldig gedocumenteerde roman, verkent een lang verborgen gebleven deel van de geschiedenis van Napoleon Bonaparte. Een meeslepende roman, die op waarheid is gebaseerd, over het fascinerende verhaal van een jonge vrouw die haar leven op het spel moet zetten als spionne om Napoleons invasie van Groot-Brittannië tegen te houden in de winter van 1803. Lisbeth verloochent haar adellijke familie, haar geboorteland Engeland en haar erfrecht om te trouwen met de liefde van haar leven. Als ze de oversteek naar Frankrijk eenmaal gemaakt heeft, komt ze erachter dat haar Fransman zeer gewelddadig is en meer interesse heeft in de politieke geheimen van haar vader dan in haar. Ze ontmoet Duncan, bekend als de leider van de Getijdewachters, een doorgewinterde spion die Lisbeths vader heeft beloofd op haar te letten terwijl hij de Franse kustregio afzoekt naar bewijs dat Napoleon een vloot aan het bouwen is om Groot-Brittannië aan te vallen. De excentrieke Amerikaanse uitvinder Robert Fulton maakt een verbeterde versie van ‘de schildpad’ – de eerste echte onderzeeboot – en creëert een nieuw type wapen dat hij aan de Franse marine wil verkopen. Maar als zijn warme relatie met Napoleon bekoelt en de deal afketst, accepteert hij bescherming en een helpende hand van de Getijdewachters om zich aan de Franse kant van het Kanaal te vestigen. Hij weigert hun echter inzage in zijn geheime vinding. Terwijl het Franse leger zich verschanst en alle toegangswegen naar het kustplaatsje afsluit, moeten de Getijdewachters hun handen zien te leggen op de onderzeeboot en op iemand die hem kan bedienen om zo Napoleons geheime wapen te ontwrichten. En hierbij krijgt Lisbeth de kans haar vaderland te dienen.

Cheat on your husband, not on your diet! Eva Cassady is stuck in a marriage that's completely lost its luster. She's even envious of her twenty-year-old daughter, living la vie Parisienne (complete with les condoms) in France for a year. Somewhere inside, Eva knows she's still a woman with dreams and desires -- but her whole dull, status-quo existence can be summed up by the tyrannical numbers on her bathroom scale. At 176 pounds, is she just one more invisible, middle-aged woman who will never inspire lust in a man again? Then fickle fortune -- via her job -- puts Eva back in touch with Michael Foresman, her passionate lover one unforgettable college spring break. Michael seems trés interested in meeting up and rekindling some old sparks, but she can't possibly let him see her the way she looks now. With reborn fantasies burning through her blood, Eva starts dieting and exercising like a woman possessed...by passion. With the pounds dropping away, Eva feels as if twenty years have rolled back as well. She feels young, sexy, desirable...and when Michael arrives, he obviously agrees. So now Eva has to make a choice. When a diet promises to change your life, just how big a change do you really want to make? To every woman who has ever craved a spoonful of ice cream or agonized over the minefields of romance, this book is for you. It's witty, it's wonderful, it's smart and perceptive. The Adultery Diet is a light-hearted but emotionally honest look at life, love, letting go...and, of course, losing weight.
