  Charlotte Browne could just kick herself. What on earth possessed her to tell the Duke of Rockford that she is a lady? But something about the duke’s handsomeness and kind intelligence makes Charlotte blurt out the teeniest, tiniest falsehood. Now it’s too late to admit she’s just plain Charlotte of no particular importance—with cinder-stained hands, a wretched stepfather, and no prospects for marriage. Rafe Dorchester, Duke of Rockford, has done what every self-respecting duke must do—avoid marriage at all costs. But the only thing stronger than the duke is his mother, and she lays down the highest ultimatum: he’ll need to find a duchess, immediately. Only, when he calls on a potential bride, he instead finds the pert, fresh-faced Lady Charlotte. Rafe was warned to never mix the business of marriage with pleasure, but when it comes to Lady Charlotte…oh, business would be a splendid pleasure. Except Charlotte knows that true life is nothing like the penny romances she reads. The duke can’t actually end up with a maid. When her vile stepbrother catches her coming from the gardens with the duke close on her heels, Charlotte knows just what he’ll do. And there’s only one way to save them all from scandal…

  Wernher von Braun, reluctant Nazi, personal friend of President Lyndon Johnson, and master builder of the Saturn V rocket, is on the verge of seeing his lifelong dream fulfilled as he joins to the crew of Apollo XX on mankind’s last visit to the Moon. All his life has been a struggle to get to this moment: surviving Allied bombing, uncomfortable accommodations with the SS, anti-German sentiment in post-war America, and the march of time itself—is he finally just too old to join the astronaut corps? On the moon, von Braun will reach the pinnacle of his professional life but there he also desperately hopes to exorcise demons from his past. 
  Landing men on the moon? Why bother? And, precariously, inside the bowels of Copernicus crater? Crazy? Impossible? And the men and women dedicated to this exploit? What to call them but Lunatics. 
  Two other voices play large roles in telling von Braun’s story: Mission Commander, Alan Bean, the only artist among the corps who hopes to capture the true essence of what it means to step on the moon. What it really looks like, feels like. Because if he doesn’t do it, who ever will? 
    
  The final voice belongs to fellow astronaut, Deke Slayton, a no-nonsense test pilot interested in neither science nor art. His mantra during the mission will be “don’t screw up”.

  VOYAGE TO THE LAST FRONTIER...
  The first book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
  They were transported from 1780s' England, packed like cattle in cargo compartments: scammers and prostitutes, thieves and murderers — doomed to build His Majesty's new colony in Captain Cook's anchorage in Botany Bay.
  It was a cruel fate even for the toughest of individuals but especially for 15-year-old Jenny Taggart, who was sentenced to lifelong exile for a crime she did not commit. Will there be a future for her in this unknown country, or will she succumb to a rough and brutal life?
  
  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.
