  Perfect for fans of Georgette Heyer and Bridgerton, a wonderful Regency romance from bestselling author Fenella J. Miller 
  Mrs Mary Williams, a colonel's widow, arrives at Silchester Court with Miss Elizabeth Freemantle, who has been brought up as her sister. But Beth is actually the Duke of Silchester's cousin and he is her guardian. 
  When the duke is called away to his estates in the North, Lord Aubrey, the duke's youngest brother, finds himself designated to oversee the London debut of both his sister, Lady Giselle, and his lively cousin, Beth. 
  Mary is only four years older than Aubrey, but she is more worldly and well-travelled and worries that he might lead Beth astray. She and Aubrey become closer as they chaperone the young ladies, but Mary is not thinking of marrying a second time. She values her independence too much, and certainly not to a young gentleman like Lord Aubrey. 
  Only when her reputation is lost, and marriage to Aubrey is impossible, does she understand that her feelings have changed. 
  Will the duke allow her to be part of his prestigious family or is it too late for them to find happiness together? 
  Please note: This is a re-issue of An Unconventional Bride by Fenella J. Miller 
  A wonderful Regency romance perfect for fans of Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer and Mary Balogh.

  "A secret so powerful it could change the fate of a nation—and only one man can find it."
  
  The story begins with a daring robbery at the Château d'Ambrumésy, but the real mystery starts when a young, brilliant student named Isidore Beautrelet challenges the great Arsène Lupin. While the police are baffled, Beautrelet discovers a cryptic document mentioning "The Hollow Needle." This leads to an epic intellectual duel across France, culminating at the breathtaking cliffs of Étretat. Here, Lupin isn't just seeking gold; he has found the legendary hiding place of the French Monarchy's vast treasures—a secret fortress hidden inside a natural wonder.
  
  A Rivalry for the Ages: In Beautrelet, Lupin finally finds a youthful mirror of himself. The boy's relentless logic forces Lupin to play his most sophisticated game yet. This novel transitions from a standard "whodunit" into a grand historical adventure, blending myth, architecture, and high-stakes deduction.
  
  The Legend of the French Crown: Leblanc weaves real French history into the narrative, suggesting that figures like Caesar, Charlemagne, and Louis XIV all knew the secret of the Needle. Lupin becomes more than a burglar here; he becomes the "King of the World," the custodian of a legacy that dates back over a thousand years.
  
  A Heartbreaking Climax: While filled with Lupin's trademark wit and daring escapes, The Hollow Needle is also known for its emotional depth. It features one of the most poignant moments in the series, revealing a rare glimpse into Lupin's heart and the price he pays for his life of shadows.

  Looking for a witty, entertaining and thought-provoking listen? Look no further than "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde, brought to life in this audiobook. 
   
  Follow the hilarious exploits of two bachelors, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, as they navigate love, deception and social etiquette in Victorian England. With razor-sharp dialogue, Wilde satirizes the upper-class society of the time, exposing its hypocrisy and ridiculousness with wit and charm. 
   
  But "The Importance of Being Earnest" is more than just a comedy of manners. Beneath the surface, it raises important questions about identity, morality and the true nature of love. Through the characters of Jack and Algernon, Wilde explores the concept of "Bunburying" – the idea of leading a double life – and challenges the rigid social conventions of the day. 
   
  Narrated with all the style and flair you'd expect from Wilde himself, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone who loves a good laugh and a good think. So sit back, relax, and let yourself be transported to a world of wit, charm and intellectual intrigue.
