Pan Am flight attendant Natalie is the only thing that stands between the KGB and their attempt to steal submarine secrets from the United States Navy and alter the course of the Cold War.She and her naval submarine suitor, Max, find their budding romance plunged into the international intrigue of the 1970s when she discovers her roommate, Mia, is an East German spying for the Soviets. To complicate matters, Max's submarine mate, Peter, has fallen in love with Mia. When Mia is ordered to turn Peter into a Russian spy, the result is a sexy espionage thriller that pits the creativity of the CIA against the treachery of the KGB.
A page-turning Cold War thriller, the book boasts a solid, well-written plot, a believable story line, and credible characters. It is easy to read and so gripping as to make it almost impossible to put down. The author has drawn on his own considerable experience with the nuclear Navy, a vivid imagination, and a logical thought train to produce a novel that will rival the best of Clancy, Flynn and other contemporary writers of adventure fiction. The scary thing is that it doesn't seem like fiction.

Living in St. Anne's Court where he has a small business, as well as his clandestine activities he has forsaken his Jewish roots, much to the sadness of his wife. Colonel Marsh becomes aware of Adolph Vanir's activities, and has instructed a colleague to watch him.
The formation of Local Defence Volunteers and Air Raid Patrol in 1937 took men who were unable to go to war for one reason or another. Harry Lloyd was one of them. A worker at the London Docks making ships, he was exempt from call up, though he was a soldier between wars. Married to Mattie, and with one child, Lorna, perhaps Harry was saved for better things.

Описание:
Grace is a sheltered daddy's girl from a supportive middle class family when she starts college as an art major. At school, she meets Wellington Holmes, her charismatic professor, also an artist. Shockingly, they fall in love and get married. Grace didn't know everything about her husband before their marriage, but she is soon to find out.
Together, Grace and Wellington join the international art world, hobnobbing in prestigious New York art galleries and romantic cities in Europe. The cost of their fame, though, becomes both lucrative-and dangerous. Grace is up against thugs, blackmail, and betrayal as an artist's wife and falls on God's strong foundation to survive.
Grace is indeed "fearfully and wonderfully made." She was always aware of her need for a stronger relationship with God, but surrounded by violence and loss, she now needs Him more than ever. She rediscovers her faith with the help of angels in disguise as she struggles to overcome worldly evil and enemies. Grace is determined to survive with Wellington at her side, but she can't do it alone.
