  In this gripping novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel, a top Hollywood executive seeks a new beginning when his career takes an unplanned turn.  
   
  As the head of a prestigious movie studio for nearly two decades, Andy Westfield has had every conceivable professional luxury: a stunning office on the forty-fourth floor, a loyal assistant who can all but read his mind, access to a private jet and company cars. The son of Hollywood royalty,  
  Andy always put his career before his marriage, and now, besides his daughter and young grandchildren, it’s the only thing he truly loves. 
   
  But then Andy’s world is upended. The studio is sold, and the buyer’s son demands the top seat. Out of a job and humiliated, Andy spirals. When his head clears, he decides to get as far away from Los Angeles as possible until the dust settles and he can find a new way forward. 
   
  Andy signs a six-month rental agreement for a luxurious home in a tiny, forgotten coastal town two hours from London. When he arrives, he hires a local woman to help get his affairs in order. A former journalist, Violet Smith is at a crossroads as well, and this temporary job is exactly what she  
  needs to tide her over. But when Violet leaves the manuscript of her unfinished novel behind after work one day, Andy lets his curiosity get the best of him and is captivated by a story that begs to be adapted for the big screen. Could this be the miracle they’ve both been looking for? 
   
  In Second Act, Danielle Steel presents a heartening tale of how challenging times give way to opportunities and an original outline does not always contain the perfect ending.

Erin and her faithful K-9 Rolf will have to plunge into the murky depths to hook their quarry. Meanwhile, her personal life is on a fine line between survival and disaster. With all eyes on her, she will have to balance her family, her job, and her increasingly dangerous double life infiltrating the O’Malley mob. 
  It’s a deep dive into another New York murder. It’ll take all Erin’s grit to pull the truth out into the light.

  Miguel & Elizabeth Newquay Beach Tales 2024 
  Book 2 of 6 The Tides of Trust 
  This is the second book in the series and the story is as follows: 
  After losing his mother and stepmother, 18-year-old Miguel Townsend develops a fear of the ocean he once loved. When he meets Elizabeth Carter, the lifeguard who saved his life in Book 1, grieving her fisherman father’s death, she gently helps him rediscover his connection to the water. Through patient lessons, they bond over shared loss—Miguel’s fractured relationship with his emotionally distant father, Elizabeth’s strained home life with her withdrawn mother. As Miguel learns to trust the waves again, he begins opening up, realizing grief, like the tide, ebbs and flows but never disappears. Meanwhile, his father Paul confronts his own avoidance, tentatively rebuilding their relationship. On a quiet August morning, Miguel finally dives beneath the surface, hearing his mother’s laughter in the waves—a moment of healing. The story ends with Miguel, Elizabeth, and Paul on the shore, united by love and memory, understanding that while loss changes you, it doesn’t have to drown you.  
  I do hope you enjoy this first instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price. 
  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 plus and is, what can I say, a love song in modern style . The closing music ends in a modern upbeat instrumental at 2 minutes plus again looking forward to the next episode!  
  The story itself runs to about 16 minutes and is narrated by my wife, Claire Francis 
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come
