Has the House of Windsor finally come to an end? Neil Phillips' novel creates a web of uncertainty over the continued existence of the Royal household. The Queen suddenly abdicates in favour of her grandson, but the government of the day believes the time has come to end a thousand years of monarchist rule. The Prime Minister, a staunch Republican, is summoned to Buckingham Palace, but just as he is delivering a short press conference outside No. 10 Downing Street he is assassinated. The single shot that ends his life begins a struggle between the Royalists and the Republicans. Alan Chandler, an MI5 officer, is tasked with discovering who has killed who, why, and with whose authority. Was it the Royalists within the Government or the House of Windsor trying to maintain its iron grip on the wealth of the nation?
For Nina Askew, turning forty means freedom—from the ex-husband, freedom from their stuffy suburban home, freedom to focus on what she wants for a change. And what she wants is something her ex always vetoed—a puppy. A bouncy, adorable puppy. Instead she gets…Fred. Overweight, middle-aged, a bit smelly and obviously depressed, Fred is light-years from perky. But he does manage to put Nina in the path of Alex Moore, her gorgeous, younger-by-a-decade neighbor. Alex seems perfect—he's a sexy, seemingly sane, surprisingly single E.R. doctor—but the age gap convinces Nina that anyone but Alex would be better relationship material. But with every silver-haired stiff she dates, the more she suspects it's the young, dog-loving doc she wants to sit and stay!
