Summary

Misunderstood by Florence Montgomery explores the psychological implications of parent-child relationships. Montgomery writes from the point of view of a young boy who lost his mother at a very early age. Excerpt: "Ever since the nursery dinner has the rain come pouring down all over the fields and meadows, the lawns and gardens, the roofs and gables of old Wareham Abbey, in the county of Sussex. Ever since the cloth was cleared away have two little curly heads been pressed close together at the nursery window, and two pair of eager eyes been watching the clouds and sky."

But when these human colonies are threatened and even viciously attacked by really alien civilizations, earth does nothing to help them. Earth, fat, rich earth sits back and lets her own colonies be practically wiped out, claiming a neutrality that seems a thin veil for cowardice and deceit. How this happens and what really does 'Victory' mean?  the story behind this question is what this exciting story is all about

    Heads You Lose … 
    Phil Nellis is missing, which is bad – but nowhere near as bad as the reason he had to disappear. His dearly departed uncle double-crossed some truly heinous individuals who have some very specific ideas about how to exact their revenge. Fifty-two hours is an unreasonably short amount of time to be given to steal Ireland’s greatest national treasure, but then again, having a bomb strapped around your neck is an unreasonable form of motivation. 
    Phil and Paul have no choice but to attempt to carry out the crime of the century against the clock, and Brigit must try to keep her head when all about are in danger of losing theirs. 
    The Big Steal is book 3 in the MCM Investigations series, a spin-off from the award-nominated, TV-show-pending and infuriatingly inaccurately titled Dublin Trilogy.

    Minutes before my wedding, a phone call from my fiancé rips my life apart. 
    I flee to the Scottish Highlands, seeking sanctuary in Bannock, an idyllic town I visited as a child. 
    All I want is peace and quiet to mend my broken heart. Instead I lock horns with the grumpy Scotsman who runs my hotel. 
    I don't recognize him at first but it turns out he's Alasdair McIntyre, the first boy I ever kissed. 
    As a twelve-year-old, he was sweet, but now? His blunt remarks and cocky smirks infuriate me, while my comebacks only reinforce his view I'm a stuck-up big-city "lass. 
    I came here to heal, not be provoked by this irritatingly handsome Highlander. Yet beneath his gruff exterior and admittedly impressive muscles, there are glimmers of another side to the man. 
    I mustn't let my guard down. My heart is already cracked. If I let him in, I risk shattering it altogether . . . 
    This audiobook edition includes a bonus epilogue.
