Tyson pulls no punches in his most candid, comprehensive and entertaining book yet, which chronicles for the first time in full his inspirational story - the rise, the fall, and the rise again, which saw him come back from the brink of suicide to reclaim his heavyweight crown.

For the first time, a blistering, highly charged account from the man known as 'Marine A' who was at the centre of the controversial murder of a wounded Taliban fighter. His case led to an unprecedented wave of public support which raised over £800,000 to fund his appeal. The nerve-shredding situations Sgt. Blackman operated within, under sustained attack for long periods, living in the unrelenting horror of a theatre of war, took their toll mentally and physically.

A Manchester lad from Irish Traveller stock, born three months premature and weighing just a pound at birth, Tyson (named after his father’s boxing hero) grew up to become one of the most unlikely heavyweight champions in history. This ‘dream come true’ soon turned to nightmare, however, as alcohol and cocaine abuse took hold and Tyson was stripped of his titles. What followed was the darkest moment of his life - detailed in this book for the first time - in which he came within seconds of ending everything.

From weighing 28 stone and fighting a deep depression, to his amazing return to heavyweight champion of the world, Tyson opens up and share his inspiring advice and tips on diet, exercise regime and his incredible journey back to a healthier body and mind. Frank, accessible and inspiring, The Furious Method is a feel-good and motivating tonic, full of inspirational advice for listeners on how we can all improve our physical and mental health. And how we can all create a champion mind-set.

A love like ours was never meant to exist. It pushed every boundary. Broke every rule. My heart couldn't deny what I felt for him, and my body couldn't ignore his touch. He was my step-brother, and what we had might be real...but it was also forbidden.

Kansas Harris - Sas for short - has the potential to be the best agent at her father’s sports agency, and she’s figured out exactly how she’s going to prove that: by giving disgraced football star Colton Quinn an image overhaul. Colton may have got himself in hot water during the off season, but only he knows the real story behind what happened. Regardless, he needs to pick up his game or risk getting left off the active roster - or worse. Leaving behind all she knows in New York, Sas arrives in Texas with a surefire plan to save Colton's career as quickly as possible.

I never should have looked twice at her, let alone touched her. She was my stepsister. Forbidden in every way. And yet, I fell, and fell hard. But nothing worth fighting for is simple, and it’s going to turn our worlds upside down. Our love isn’t easy. It’s complicated, messy, and pushes all the boundaries. But it’s ours, and despite the pain and heartache, it might just be worth it in the end.

Losing her nearly destroyed me. Reclaiming her is something I've waited years for. I can see it in her eyes, feel it in her touch. The desire, the temptation, she needs me just as much as I need her. But there's something else there, defiance. She’s never forgotten me, after all this time, but has she forgiven me? Turns out she's forgetting one thing...she’s mine. I'm not letting go this time.

Craving her was wrong...losing her was a necessity. What we had was real, but it's over. Ancient history. She was under my skin, but I was under her dad's roof. He warned me to stay away, but I couldn't. We risked everything, and I lost it all, to protect us both. Now I'm empty, and it's all too clear what's missing. Or, rather, who. None of the women who warm my bed can ever fill the void inside my shattered heart.

My best friend needs rescuing from herself. She’s about to jump headfirst into a decision that’s going to change her life forever, and she’s going about it the wrong way. She’s been my left-hand woman for years, but is it possible that I’ve never seen what’s right in front of me? Did I lose myself living the high life my reputation as a fireman comes with? As things start to heat up, I soon realize this is one inferno that I’m not going to be able to put out!

From best-selling author Melanie A. Smith comes the first book in a new series of steamy contemporary medical romance standalone novels about life lessons that break all the rules. Some lessons are more fun when learned the hard way.... What’s the first rule of nurse’s club? That’s right: Never date a doctor. Which Sasha Suvorin has no intention of doing anyway, since she’s a nurse at Rutherford Hospital by day and working on her master’s degree by night. Who has time for dating, much less dating someone you work with? Bad idea much?

Come visit the cardiac unit at Rutherford Hospital, where three steamy romances unfold, now with bonus epilogues. Includes: Never Date a Doctor, Bad Boys Don’t Make Good Boyfriends, and You Can’t Buy Love.

Money can’t buy happiness, but neither can pride...Julianna Magnusson is tired of working her tail off at her thankless job as a nurse practitioner for the cardiac unit at Rutherford Hospital. Tired of having little to no time for her own life. But most of all, she’s tired of pretending that she’s happy about it all. So when her boss insists she attend the annual hospital charity gala, spending a ton of money on a dress to impress a bunch of stuck-up snobs doesn’t exactly sound like her idea of a good time.

Hospital work isn’t for the faint of heart. Becca Dillon knows that firsthand, having worked as a medical assistant in the cardiac unit at Rutherford Hospital for longer than she cares to think about. What she does care to think about is having fun, gossip, and... guys. Her favorite of the three. And why stick to one, when you can sample them all?
