What do you call it when you ride to a spooky house in the middle of the night and accidently find a device that allows you to talk to animals, and then get kidnapped twice just to become a laboratory experiment, and finally join forces with FBI Agent Scott Tracker to help rescue an entire town? You call it a day in the life of an eleven-year-old boy named Ben Meyer who reads to many detective adventure stories, doesn’t get along with his dad, and isn’t thrilled about any of his teachers at school. His only saving grace is his neighbor’s pet rabbit whose name is Ricky. He’s furry, cuddly, warm, and Ben considers him to be his best friend. That is until someone stole him. Enlisting the help of his two friends Spencer and Tara, Ben sets out to find his friend at all cost. Slowly, little by little, like peeling an onion, he brings to light not only who kidnapped his friend, but a devious plot that will threaten his home town, New Pinehill in Vermont as well as the White House in Washington D.C. With special effects and music sprinkled throughout the audiobook edition, this non-stop epic adventure is dripping with destiny, faith, and hope.

He’s a bull rider with a dark secret and even darker desires... Fenn Lockwood is in for the fight of his life after being tossed from a bull when he sees a beautiful bombshell red-head in a killer dress kick off her heels and runs to his rescue. Determined to find that gorgeous girl and give her a piece of his mind for nearly getting herself killed, he can’t help but picture doing other things with her too. When she shows up at his trailer telling him he’s some long-lost heir to a rich East Coast family, all he wants to do is lay her flat beneath him and give her something else to think about than the past. The past has only ever caused Fenn pain and he'd much rather kiss this feisty woman and show her just what it means to let a man tame her like a wild mustang. She’s a socialite who wants to be seen as something more than a pretty face. Hayden Thorne is rich, beautiful, and smart. But to the world, she’s nothing more than a girl whose only value is marrying and marrying rich. But she wants more from life, she has dreams, big dreams of running a business all her own and the only person who believes in her is her older brother Wes. When Hayden overhears that her brother’s best friend from childhood who was kidnapped and never seen again, may be living in Colorado, she drops everything and goes on a quest to bring back the Gold Coast’s long-lost golden boy. But when she comes face to face with Fenn for the first time, she falls hard and fast for the rough-and-tumble cowboy who knows just how she likes to play. When he removes his leather belt to bind her hands, she fairly melts. But the past is catching up with them, and old dangers are once again coming for Fenn. He may not be lucky enough to escape this time...

The first book in the dark and addictive Woody Creek series from bestselling Australian author Joy Dettman "Dettman writes compulsively readable stories" The Age Spanning two momentous decades and capturing rural Australia's complex and mysterious heart, Pearl in a Cage is unputdownable. On a balmy midsummer's evening in 1923, a young woman - foreign, dishevelled and heavily pregnant - is found unconscious just off the railway tracks in the tiny logging community of Woody Creek. The town midwife, Gertrude Foote, is roused from her bed when the woman is brought to her door. Try as she might, Gertrude is unable to save her - but the baby lives. When no relatives come forth to claim the infant, Gertrude's daughter Amber - who has recently lost a son in childbirth - and her husband Norman take the child in. In the ensuing weeks, Norman becomes convinced that God has sent the baby to their door, and in an act of reckless compassion, he names the baby Jennifer and registers her in place of his son. Loved by some but scorned by more - including her stepmother and stepsister who resent the interloper - Jenny survives her childhood and grows into an exquisite and talented young woman. But who were her parents? Why does she so strongly resemble an old photograph of Gertrude's philandering husband? And will she one day fulfil her potential? "Joy Dettman is a natural-born storyteller whose dark tales of rural life are addictive ..." The Age Fans of Rosalie Ham's The Dressmaker will love Joy Dettman.

December 31, 1889. As the sky over New York City explodes with fireworks on the eve of the new decade, an explosion in the streets causes social tremors that will rock the lives of three women who share a house on Twenty-Third Street: suffragette Columbine Nash, her assistant Bell Huxton, and Marguerite Corbeau, a young woman they’ve adopted from the streets. Lovely noble Columbine, a woman ahead of her time, strives to correct the social ills that are created by her class; lush, beautiful Bell, battered and abused as a child, searches for a true love and a pure philosophy; and Marguerite, a passionate woman of mystery and self-indulgence, attempts to rise above her station and join the glittering stars of New York theatre. Their paths will diverge, but their destinies are entwined in this volatile decade of high contrast, a time when wasp-waisted beauties attend fabulous balls, while underpaid seamstresses talk of anarchy and strike, and in the midst of it all are three women, each living in a gilded cage of her own design, trapped by a difficult past, a promise made in haste, a blind faith in an unbending philosophy, Their liberation is the true story of The Gilded Cage.

In John Bowen's The Birdcage Peter Ash and Norah Palmer have been living together for nine years. Having never seen the point in getting married they are the epitome of a modern successful career-oriented couple; Peter is the compere for a series of 'art' films and Norah is the Script Editor for the Drama Department of a commercial television company. Why then when holidaying in Venice does Peter decide to break up their long-lasting relationship? What happens to their order and sense of self when he succeeds? By turns wildly funny and frightening The Birdcage is a novel about the end of a love affair, the repercussions and the emotional fallout. A host of brilliantly created characters people the book, including Bunty Bates the policewoman, and Edward Laverick, a playwright who finds himself the object of a hunt. Bowen creates a world that his readers can relate to and analyses the social and psychological end of a relationship. At times comical and tragic The Birdcage remains an original and exciting novel 44 years after its first publication in 1964.
