  Murder comes to Norfolk Island, but is the killer after Alexandra Archer’s Tahitian black pearl or a lost illustration of the rare Green Parrot? 
  The Thorntons, along with a small team of people, mount an expedition to Norfolk Island, a small island in the South Pacific, to study the Green Parrot and set up research programmes to help protect it and other endangered birds. 
  As a birthday surprise, Alexandra’s father tells her she is to be the official photographer for the expedition. Her father gives her a black pearl brooch that Alexandra’s great-grandfather had bought off a merchant in Hong Kong in the 1850s. The pearls are Tahitian black pearls. 
  Before they depart Melbourne, they learn that Norfolk Island has had its first murder. It sends ripples of unease through Alexandra. She hoped she could escape murder on this small island paradise.

  In When Faith Meets Fire: Blood Ties & Broken Vows, Zula Tlholoe delivers a stirring tale of love, duty, and rebellion set in the deeply traditional village of Naledi. Amina, a young woman born into a world governed by sacred customs and ancestral expectations, finds herself at a crossroad between obedience and self-liberation. Betrothed to Kwame—a man chosen by her family and revered by her community—Amina is expected to carry the torch of tradition without question. 
  But her heart belongs to Malik, a quiet rebel with no lineage or wealth, yet full of vision and love that sets her soul ablaze. Their forbidden connection sparks a quiet storm that challenges the very foundations of what it means to honor family, faith, and self. 
  As lobola negotiations begin and wedding preparations tighten like a noose, Amina must decide if her voice, her love, and her future are worth the price of exile. With every chapter, readers are drawn deeper into a richly woven narrative of generational pressure, silent rebellions, and the cost of choosing oneself. 
  Blending lyrical storytelling with cultural nuance, When Faith Meets Fire is a powerful family saga that asks: What do we owe to tradition, and what do we owe to ourselves?

  A marriage of convenience forces a powerful duke to choose between his ferocious pride and love that melts his icy heart. 
  Reputation is everything in the ton. And no one's is more pristine than Constantine Buccleigh, Duke of Pryde's. But when a blackmailer threatens to expose his devastating secret and have him lose everything, he’s forced to marry Miss Modesty Fairchild, a woman far below his station. 
  A budding archeologist, Modesty would rather dig in the dirt than host a gala. But a deathbed promise has left her the guardian of an orphaned baby. She’ll do anything to protect her little ward…even marry the heartless duke who made the most offensive proposal in the history of womenkind. 
  Lonely in Pryde’s elegant Mayfair home, she despises the cold, unyielding duke who expects her to become his perfect duchess. She loathes his arrogance. He resents her defiance. But as dance lessons and etiquette tutorials force them together, Modesty refuses to shrink beneath his iron control. And with every act of rebellion, she shatters his carefully crafted armor, revealing the lonely, broken man beneath. 
  Glimpsing the tender heart beneath her husband’s haughty exterior, Modesty dreams of a loving future. 
  But a villain in the shadows plots Pryde’s downfall. And as the Seven Dukes of Sin hunt for clues, the blackmailer raises the stakes. 
  Faced with a dreadful choice, will Constantine sacrifice his pride and his title for the wife and child he has come to treasure? 
  Read by the award-winning narrator, Audie finalist, and Earphones for excellence in narration winner, Shane East, and Justine Eyre, a classically trained actor and narrator has been honored to receive a coveted Audie Award and multiple AudioFile Earphones Awards.
