Champagne Secrets
by Amanda Brunker
Eva the Diva is back! And she's going undercover ...
After capturing a bust up on an airplane between a group of footballers' wives on her camera phone, Eva is offered the chance of a lifetime - a new job as an undercover TV reporter. Her exciting new career means moving herself and little daughter Daisy to London and keeping the exact nature of her work secret from her colleagues at the TV production company. Even the new man in her life doesn't know what she's up to ...
It's not all high glamour in the big city though - a single mum in a new town needs support, so Eva moves in with her aunt's large brood, where the rough and tumble of family life is a stark contrast to the celebrity restaurants and nightclubs she visits in her quest to uncover all sorts of WAG drama.
But as the intrigue deepens and Eva is forced to tell more and more lies to hold her cover, will her secret prove to be her downfall? And will there ever be a real Mr Right? One things for sure, there'll be lots of naughty fun and games along the way ...
Albert Reynolds: My Autobiography
by Albert Reynolds
Albert Reynolds has led an extraordinary life. Now, for the first time, Ireland's eighth Taoiseach tells his life story – from his childhood and first steps as a young businessman to his action-filled years in the political arena.
In this revelatory autobiography, Albert tells how his dynamic, can-do approach allowed a boy from the village of Roosky, Co. Roscommon, to build a ballroom empire with his brother Jim, to found a multi-million-pound company and to make a profound and lasting contribution to Irish politics.
Albert relives a busy political life, and the Northern Ireland peace process is thrown into dramatic relief with original contributions from other voices such as John Major, Bill Clinton, Martin McGuinness and Archbishop Eames, with eye-opening revelations about secret, behind-the-scenes meetings with key players.
‘Give it as it was; tell it as it is, that is me.’ In his autobiography, he does just that.

Screaming At The Sky
by Tony Griffin
He's a champion sportsman at the highest level - a Clare 'All Star', playing one of the world's fastest, most challenging sports - hurling.
He's cycled 7,000 miles across a continent in 51 days.
He's raised almost $1 million for cancer charities.
He's Tony Griffin.
Tony is also plagued by guilt and grief over his father's death.
At one point in his career he was surviving on €137 a week (not unusual in a sport which can draw crowds of 50 thousand but still doesn't pay its players).
Despite his huge talent for hurling and his incredible achievements as a charity cyclist, he has struggled with fear and self doubt.
Tony's compelling story is an inside account of ultra-competitive GAA hurling teams, of taking on new challenges in the form of long-distance cycling, of the mental and physical strength required to train for and endure gruelling 120 mile daily cycles, and of the fallout that can result from universal human emotions such as doubt, fear, obsession and grief over the death of a father. It's about testing yourself to the limit and coming out a changed man. Tony's account of four very unusual seasons in the life of a championship hurler is a personal testament to the struggle to overcome demons, to finding and following a purpose in life.
Come This Way Home
by Liz Lyons
One wet and stormy Irish summer, the three Miller sisters gather at their grand but shabby old family home, Tobar Lodge.
Gina, middle sister and mum to a troubled teenage girl, is doing her best to keep the old country house afloat by playing host to summer visitors who rent converted cottages on the land.
Eldest, Lottie, is home to lick her wounds after her latest romantic adventure has ended in disaster once again.
Rachel, the youngest, has led a more charmed life but this time is coming home accompanied by a family struggling after the collapse of her husband's business.
As family and strangers meet and collide, and a long hidden secret is exposed, they begin to discover that love and life is all about seeking, losing, yearning for and, ultimately, finding a place called home. By the time the holiday season draws to a close, all will realise that complications of past lives simmer just beneath the surface, a rich layer of secrets concealed from the eyes of others but keenly felt in the hearts of those to whom they belong.
