  Fae Love Spell - A Romantic...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The morning mist clung to the cobblestones of Willowbrook like a lover's whisper, refusing to let go even as the sun climbed higher into the autumn sky. Elara Thorne pulled her wool shawl tighter around her shoulders as she hurried through the village square, her basket of herbs swaying with each determined step. The townspeople barely glanced her way anymore, having grown accustomed to the sight of the village's resident herbalist making her early morning rounds. 
   
  At twenty-five, Elara had resigned herself to a life of quiet solitude. Her cottage on the outskirts of Willowbrook was filled with dried flowers, bubbling potions, and the occasional visitor seeking remedies for ailments both physical and matters of the heart. She had inherited her grandmother's gift for herbalism, though the older woman had always insisted there was something more magical about Elara's touch with plants than mere knowledge of their properties. 
   
  "Another lovesick fool," Elara muttered under her breath as she approached the market square, where a young man was dramatically serenading a baker's daughter who looked thoroughly mortified by the attention. The village seemed perpetually caught in the throes of romantic chaos, with hearts breaking and mending faster than Elara could brew her calming teas.

  There is no man richer than a man without a price...  
  Jack Kowalski is a young and newly qualified barrister, who finds himself working on the biggest drugs importation trial ever played out on English soil. With the assistance of his equally inexperienced instructing solicitor, Lara Panassai, Jack argues a savage ‘cut-throat’ defence – a risky tactic where the defendants blame each other – and quickly embroils some of the most eminent QCs in the land. 
  As the son of Polish immigrants, the sensitive Kowalski has always found it hard to fit in, with a sense of inferiority and constant nervousness in Court. Now he must face his demons and fight not only for his clients but for his very future at the Bar. 
  But when the defendant then unexpectedly absconds, Jack and Lara must fight on regardless, following a tip that leads them out of the courtroom and into Manchester’s seedy underworld – crime bosses, strip clubs, corrupt lawyers and all manner of hidden sins. 
  As the case grows darker with each new discovery, who in this viper pit of deception can Jack and Lara trust? 
  Olly Jarvis is a writer and criminal defence barrister, originally from London but now working in Manchester. Drawing on his experiences, he writes both fiction and non-fiction with a particular understanding of the pressures and excitement of life in the courtroom. He wrote the highly acclaimed Radio 4 drama Judgement, and wrote and presented the BBC documentary Mum Knows Best. He is also the author of Death by Dangerous. Olly has two children and lives in Cheshire. 
  ‘The tautly-written, tense thriller weaves together the fates of crime victims, gangsters, cops and lawyers – often culminating in a realistic courtroom drama.’ – Manchester Evening News.  
  ‘A legal thriller in the great Grisham tradition – genius author!’ – Gyles Brandreth.  
  ‘The violence in the criminal underworld of Manchester is presented in scenes which are short and shocking. Cut-Throat Defence is an excellent read.’ – Simon Brett, author and CWA Golden Dagger winner.

  A young man of good family is told he is not his father's son but a foundling, and that a document proving otherwise can be bought — for a price that ruins everyone who touches it. Gaboriau was a cavalry trooper and a lawyer's clerk before he invented Monsieur Lecoq and, with him, the detective novel in France; Conan Doyle read him carefully and then had Holmes sneer at Lecoq, which is its own kind of tribute.
