  She was born on the streets; he was born to rule … 
  Idella goes by one name only in the glamorous world of music. Her sultry voice mesmerizes millions, her albums have gone platinum, and her elusiveness is legendary. However, the version of herself that truly drives her goes by another name—Dallas. She’s an assassin employed to eliminate some of the worst criminals in the world. 
  Sheikh Tarek Saif-Ad-Din understands that power and money can corrupt. It is his job to ensure the safety of his people, his country, and his royal family. After an attack leaves him near death, he swears he hears the voice of an “amirat khurafiat alsahra”—a desert fairy princess. 
  Helping a wounded prince was not part of the plan. Her targets were the insurrectionists. She was supposed to prevent them from gaining control of the largest production of microchips in the world at any cost. Even if both the first and second born son die, another in the royal family would become heir and the country would stabilize. Yet—she can’t leave Tarek to die. 
  In a dangerous dance between two identities, Idella must decide if she can trust Tarek enough to reveal who she really is—a singer, an assassin, and the woman who loves him. If she can’t, this mission may be final in more ways than one.

  A wild Australian adventure begins with the kidnapping of two boys in the action novel Will’s Way: On Lake Coothella.  
  Tim and Nick are abducted from their lakeside camp-over on New Year’s Eve. The abductors are criminals whose revengeful intent is to make the boys disappear into the criminal underground in payment for an old insult dealt deep in the past. 
  What the criminals don’t realise is the resourcefulness and determination, not only of the boys themselves but of their family and friends, who rally their separate rescue expeditions.  
  Will, Tiff, and Matt immediately begin the pursuit in an old inflatable, while Billy and Jamie borrow a boat to help free their friends. Then Spiro and the mysterious Maria join the action. What results is a long and dangerous chase in a variety of boats, at night, over the lake displaying bravery and resourcefulness. This is followed by a determined pursuit through a pine forest, culminating in the final confrontation between the evil mastermind and Will Peters’ mother.
