  When the railroad comes to town, some fights are worth everything. 
   
  Thomas Hayes has spent four years building a life in Shamrock Ridge—a successful blacksmith shop, a respected place in the community, and a promising marriage to mail-order bride Fiona Long. But when railroad developers arrive with generous buyout offers and veiled threats, Thomas's carefully constructed world begins to crumble. 
   
  As neighbors turn away and the community fractures under pressure, Thomas considers the one thing he swore he'd never do again: run. But Fiona didn't abandon everything in New York to watch her husband surrender to shame. She's learned what it means to fight for what matters, and she won't let fear win—not in their marriage, and not in their town. 
   
  With friends rallying and enemies closing in, Thomas must choose between the safety of surrender and the courage to stand for what's right. Because sometimes the only way to prove you're not a coward is to face the fight that terrifies you most. 
   
  A story of love, loyalty, and the price of doing what's right when everything is at stake.

  Living peacefully in Vermont, Ryan Flannigan is shocked when a text from her oldest friend alerts her to a devastating news item. A controversial photo of her as a pre-teen has been found in the possession of a wealthy investor recently revealed as a pedophile and a sex trafficker—with an inscription to him from Ryan's mother on the back. 
   
   
   
  Memories crowd in, providing their own distinctive pictures of her mother Fiona, an aspiring actress, and their move to the West Village in 1976. Amid the city's gritty kaleidoscope of wealth and poverty, high art, and sleazy strip clubs, Ryan is discovered and thrust into the spotlight as a promising young actress with a woman's face and a child's body. Suddenly, the safety and comfort Ryan longs for is replaced by auditions, paparazzi, and the hungry eyes of men of all ages. 
   
   
   
  Forced to reexamine her childhood, Ryan begins to untangle her young fears and her mother's ambitions, and the role each played in the fraught blackout summer of 1977. Even with her movie career long behind her, Ryan and Fiona are suddenly the object of uncomfortable speculation—and Fiona demands Ryan's support. To put the past to rest, Ryan will need to face the painful truth of their relationship, and the night when everything changed.

  WITH PASSION AND DARING, THEY SEIZED THE PROMISE OF A NEW LAND...
  The seventh book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
  The upheavels in the new colony are frequent and radical. A governor has recently been fired, a rebel government has been forced to retreat, and a new governor has arrived in Australia.
  Will this mean redemption for the freed prisoners in the exile colony? The country needs its loyal fighters — and Jenny Hawley and her family certainly belong there in spite of their past.
  Above all, the new governor needs men of Andrew Hawley and Justin Broome's calibre to be able to transform the country into a thriving, independent nation.
  Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.
