Sinossi

Cowboy. Miner. Army scout. Matt Walker is a man shaped by the desert.
 
Raised hard and trained by the Apache, he’s faster, smarter, and deadlier than most men alive. When he rides into the dusty town of Joshua after a brutal encounter in the wild, he's not looking for trouble. But trouble finds him anyway.
 
Roscoe Bowen, an outlaw with his eyes on the Double O ranch, is willing to kill for what lies beneath its hills: gold. Backed by hired guns, Roscoe is ready to take the land by force. But Matt Walker isn’t about to stand by, especially after crossing paths with Otto Hicks’ strong-willed daughter, Dixie.
 
Caught in a range war, Matt will have to draw faster and think sharper than ever before. He doesn’t want to stay - but some fights won’t let a man walk away.
 
A gritty western tale of frontier justice, THE DESERT BORN is the second book in the Fast Gun series by Terence Newnes.

    Fragments of a Fallen Era is a haunting and poetic exploration of a world lost to time, and the lingering echoes that refuse to be silenced. Across shattered monuments, forgotten cities, and the weathered relics of once-great empires, a lone seeker uncovers pieces of a story buried beneath centuries of dust and denial. Each discovery reveals not only the past’s grandeur—but also its betrayal, ambition, and fragile humanity. As memories resurface and myths unravel, the truth that emerges challenges everything believed about legacy and progress. With richly atmospheric storytelling and profound emotional depth, Fragments of a Fallen Era draws listeners into a reflective, immersive journey through memory, ruin, and the enduring hope that something meaningful remains. Perfect for fans of introspective fantasy, philosophical fiction, and epic tales of civilizations undone.

    1897. Rosamund bows her head and steps slowly down the aisle. The satin of her gown whispers against the stone floor and a single tear falls into the bunch of yellow roses twisted in her trembling hands. Despite rumours of his cruelty, Rosamund has no choice but to become this man’s second wife.
    
     
    After her wedding, Rosamund finds herself trapped in Sir Lucien Fitznorton’s lonely country estate. As she wanders the chilly halls, made shadowy by drapes of heavy velvet, she longs for the lost comforts of her childhood home, where she was the beloved only daughter to a doting father, now buried miles away. As a young woman with no fortune of her own, only death can release her from this misery.
    
     
    Until she meets Joseph, her husband’s gruffly handsome new chauffeur. With his mop of salt-and-pepper hair and lilting accent, Joseph is from another world. One of clambering children and tea at scrubbed kitchen tables, the hollow scratch of hunger and long hours of hard work. Despite their differences, they find themselves increasingly drawn to one other.
    
     
    But Sir Lucien is not only cruel, he’s devious too, and soon Rosamund finds herself caught in a dangerous web of secrets and lies. Is Rosamund’s fragile marriage nothing but a golden cage, trapping her between two men who desire her… and to what end?
    
     
    One holds her captive and the other offers a hope of escape… but who really holds the key to Rosamund’s gilded prison?
    
     
    A gripping and emotional historical novel, fans of Lucinda Riley and Tracy Rees won’t be able to put this book down.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
