  The Antiquary is a novel by Sir Walter Scott, published in 1816, and is part of his Waverley series. The story unfolds in the fictional coastal town of Fairport, Scotland, and centers around Jonathan Oldbuck, an antiquary and collector of historical artifacts, who embodies both eccentricity and a deep appreciation for the past. The narrative begins with Oldbuck encountering William Lovel, a mysterious young man with a questionable background. 
  As they form a friendship, Lovel's romantic interest in Isabella Wardour, the daughter of the financially troubled Sir Arthur Wardour, complicates matters. Isabella loves Lovel but is deterred by her father's disdain for Lovel's illegitimacy and uncertain lineage. As the plot progresses, Sir Arthur's financial woes lead him to consider dubious schemes to recover his wealth, including a treasure hunt prompted by the conman Dousterswivel.

  After Fort Dodge, wagon master Bruce Cowan had hoped the journey to Wagon Mound would get easier. That lasted but a few days. 
   
   
   
  It horrified the settlers when they came across the burning remains of a smaller wagon train. Not one survivor. Bandits attacked this time, not Indians. 
   
   
   
  Every day brings a fresh crisis. Trent and Pat, the McLeod brothers, with their gun fighting skills, provide Bruce and the wagon train protection and much needed guidance. Sometime even that isn't enough when they face mother nature at her most destructive. 
   
   
   
  The savage Comanches are on the warpath. The Arapahos are also on a killing spree since the massacre of Sand Creek. Trent and Pat do their best to avoid these threats. When attacked, many times by surprise, there are deadly consequences. 
   
   
   
  Throughout it all, Trent tries his best to get closer to Becky Cowan. Just when he thinks things are going well, something else comes up to drive a wedge between them again. 
   
   
   
  The settlers must remain on guard at all times as obstacles confront them. Will the Cowans reach Wagon Mound or perish in the desert as others have before them? Should they continue their perilous journey west or leave the trail and set up their homestead?

  Love, friendship and dangerous secrets in the early years of Cadbury's Tasmanian factory. 
   
  It's 1921, and after years of working for Cadbury's at Bournville, Dorothy Adwell is on her way to a new adventure in the colonies, helping to establish the Firm's new Australian factory. A promotion and a fresh start are just what she needs after the horrors of the Great War and the loss of her beloved husband. During the long sea voyage, she meets Thomas and is immediately drawn to him. The war has left Thomas damaged, both mentally and emotionally, and Dorothy vows to help him - if only he will let her. 
   
  Maisie Greenwood is the oldest daughter of a war widow, living on a pittance in the Hobart suburb of the Glebe. Her mother's health is failing, and with two younger siblings depending on her the security of a job at the brand-new Cadbury's factory is a godsend. With Dorothy's mentorship and her budding romance with fellow worker Frank, life begins to look a little sweeter. 
   
  Cadbury's competitors have one goal: to steal the recipe for Dairy Milk, the most popular chocolate in the world. But the recipe is kept in a vault and the few who know it are legally bound to never divulge its secret. When chocolate spies target the new factory, Dorothy and Maisie become caught up in their plot. Can they protect the recipe, help those they love and fulfil their own dreams? 
   
  A tangled web of ambition and intrigue melts into a tale as delicious and rich as chocolate. 
   
  ‘An absolute treat – totally enthralling and completely and utterly satisfying. It’s another triumph for Mary-Lou Stephens.’ KAREN BROOKS, bestselling Australian author, on The Chocolate Factory
