Outrageous

Christina Dodd

Synopsis

Adultery and treachery shape this thrilling romance set against the backdrop of the War of the Roses—from the New York Times–bestselling author. 
 
A woman banished 
 
Griffith, battle-seasoned warrior and the king’s most trusted emissary, expected to find a shallow, vain, frivolous woman at Wenthaven Castle. After all, as lady-in-waiting to the queen, lovely Lady Marian had been in a position of privilege, yet she had been banished from the court amid rumors she had given birth to an illegitimate child. 
 
An outrageous offer 
 
When he arrived, Griffith found Lady Marian to be strong, intelligent and fiercely protective of the young baby in her custody . . . and very suspicious of him. If he were smart, the knight would just deliver the message with which he had been entrusted. Instead, he longs to linger to delve into the mystery that is Marian, to discover what she so desperately fears—and why he so improperly wants her.`

PRE-ORDER NOW
You’re almost certain your daughter didn’t kill the neighbour. But what if she did?
Richard Wellington is one of the country’s most recognised doctors. A morning TV regular, surgeon to the elite, and scandal-proof despite a malpractice case that should have ruined him.
But when his body is found sprawled in a harborside park on a sweltering Sydney morning, the facade shatters. His murder dominates the headlines, and the normally quiet cul-de-sac he called home becomes a media circus, seething with speculation and unease.
For Liv Elliot, none of that matters – except for one detail: her daughter, Gracie, was at the park that morning. As the investigation heats up and dark secrets about Richard begin to surface, Liv takes steps to shield her daughter from the storm – steps that could destroy them both if the truth comes out.

Adam & Eve - Pscychedelic...

Christopher Allen

ADAM & EVE – Psychedelic Promise 1965 London
Book 1: The Summer of Colour
This first book of six is summarized as follows:
In the summer of 1965, shy, artistic Adam meets bold, free-spirited Eve at a Soho music club. Drawn together by their shared love of art and music, they explore London’s vibrant counterculture, from Carnaby Street’s mod fashion to underground jazz clubs. Eve introduces Adam to her eclectic friends, including a beat poet and a feminist activist, opening his eyes to a world of rebellion and creativity. At a secret psychedelic art exhibition, they experience the mind-bending thrill of first love and self-discovery. As the summer ends, they promise to face the future together, despite the looming pressures of family expectations and societal norms. The Summer of Colour captures the magic of youth, the freedom of the 1960s, and the beginning of a transformative journey for Adam and Eve.
This is the first of six audiobooks in the series and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment.
I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 1/2 minutes, called Electric Pulse, and prepares you for the start, synthesizer, bass and cymbals in a soul/funk form. The closing music, called Full Motion, ends the tale on a darker tone and at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments, genre and industrial/fearful mood but with more caution added.
The story itself runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.
I do hope you and your family, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
