Synopsis

1883–1946
As the child lay huddled in the bed, her face streaked with tears, she listened to the sound of voices from below as neighbours comforted her father. Tomorrow was to be her mother’s funeral and Anne felt very small and frightened. Life was to change immeasurably over the following years from shattered family bonds to the joy and excitement of the Music Hall and falling in love.Over the next decades as the nation battled against a world where loyalties would be tested in two World Wars, Anne would find the strength to move forward, gathering the fragments of her broken family on a journey of resilience and love.

    Step behind the palace doors in this gripping historical novel that is a must read for fans of The Crown and Princess Diana! 
    Buckingham Palace, 1981 
    Her engagement to Prince Charles is a dream come true for Lady Diana Spencer but marrying the heir to the throne is not all that it seems. Alone and bored in the palace, she resents the stuffy courtiers who are intent on instructing her about her new role as Princess of Wales… 
    But when she discovers a diary written in the 1800s by Princess Charlotte of Wales, a young woman born into a gilded cage so like herself, Diana is drawn into the story of Charlotte’s reckless love affairs and fraught relationship with her father, the Prince Regent. 
    As she reads the diary, Diana can see many parallels with her own life and future as Princess of Wales. 
    The story allows a behind-the-scenes glimpse of life in the palace, the tensions in Diana’s relationship with the royal family during the engagement, and the wedding itself.Praise for Flora Harding: 
    ‘If you’re a fan of The Crown, you’ll love this’ Woman’s Weekly 
    ‘Fascinating…a beautiful love story’ Woman 
    ‘Magnificent. It carries so much depth and warmness, and closeness to the characters that you do not want to part from them…a page-turner’ Best Historical Fiction Reviews 
    This biographical masterpiece delves into the romance and royalty of Princess Diana's life, drawing parallels with the past. The top-notch narrative is as captivating as the autobiography of the People's Princess herself. 
    For fans of Wendy Holden (The Princess), Alison Weir (Mary I), Anne Glenconner (Murder On Mustique), Carol Mcgrath (The Betrothed Sister), and Kayte Nunn (The Silk House).

    This Train races us through America's heartland, carrying secrets. There is treasure in the cargo car, along with an invisible puppeteer. There is a coder named Nora, a yippy dog named Mugzy, and Ross, a too-curious poet. On board, it's a countdown to murder…
    
    On this train, there is a silver madman, a targeted banker, and crises of conscience. This train harbors the ""perfect"" couple's conspiracies, the chaos of being a teenager, and parenthood alongside the wows of being nine. There is a widow and a wannabe and the sleaziest billionaire.
    
    On this train, there is a suicide ticket, a bomb, sex, love, and loneliness, a heist, revenge, and redemption.
    
    This Train is a ticking clock, roaring through forty-seven fictional hours of nonstop suspense and action, through the challenges of now: racism, sexism, global warming, what it means to be alive.
    
    This train carries all of us. All aboard!

    🌠 Celestial bard Lyra Nightingale possesses a rare gift: she can hear the music of the stars and weave their melodies into magical songs that influence fate itself. Living quietly in a mortal village, she hides her celestial heritage until the night a fallen star warrior crashes to earth, wounded and hunted by cosmic predators. Kaelen, last of the Starlight Guardians, carries a dire warning: the Harmony of the Spheres is fracturing, threatening to unravel both their worlds. As Lyra nurses him back to health using her star-song magic, their connection deepens into a forbidden love that defies celestial law. Together, they must compose a new cosmic symphony to save reality from collapsing into chaos. But the Celestial Council has declared their love a threat to universal balance, and a powerful enemy seeks to harness Lyra's unique magic to rewrite destiny itself. In a race against time, they must prove that some loves are written in the stars—and that the most powerful magic of all is the song of two hearts beating as one.

    Can Trick choose between the love of his life and the sub of his dreams? Nav can't count the number of times he has wished he could close his eyes, hand over the reins and let someone take care of him. It's a dream that none of his exes have been able to fulfill—not that he really understands what he needs. At least, he doesn't until he stumbles into a dark alley to get away from the bustling noise on the dance floor where he doesn't belong. He's not alone in the alley, and the stranger who gives him everything he's longing for isn't a stranger at all but Trick, his gorgeous neighbor who has a body that models would kill for and the softest blue eyes that Nav has ever seen. Trick has everything he could ever wish for, including his kinky fiancé, Theo, who has been by his side for ten years. So, when Trick sets up an intense scene in an alleyway that pushes their boundaries beyond anything he could have imagined, his life seems perfect. But when the alley lights flicker on, he discovers the man against him isn't his fiancé at all. One perfect mistake will change their lives forever.
