Detectives Mike Lynch and Ben Torrens thought they had seen it all. Yet nothing could prepare them for what they were about to face. Freybourne, a quiet city populated with a mere 85,000 people and surrounded by bushland, is under attack. A serial killer with the most perverse fetish of allpregnant women- has turned it into a hunting ground. When the mutilated body of a young woman is discovered, shockwaves surge through the sleepy little community. Weeks later a second body, bearing the same trademark mutilation as the first, is uncovered. With few leads and even less forensic evidence left at the scene, Mike and Ben tackle their most difficult case yet, a case that sucks them deep into the seedy underbellies of some of Freybourne’s most well known establishments. When a lead points them to a Wellness Clinic, a web of lies and deceit begins to unravel. Will the Wellness Clinic pay the ultimate price for secrecy or will Mike and Ben crack the case before more bodies turn up? The pressure begins to mount when Mike discovers his girlfriend is pregnant and Ben’s ex-wife is somehow caught up in the investigation. The two men find their tempers running hot and their time running out.

When he finds a letter in a second hand book he had purchased from a garage sale though, he finds himself strangely intrigued in the life of the writer.

As Andrew sets to find the girl, he finds his life changed in the way he didn't think was possible.

This is not a collection of poems. It's a story that begins with a poem. 🎆 Dove's eyes She is real, but then she's not. She's an illusion of some sort. Her silhoutte is like an Angel's- of that, I am sure. She doesn't walk like we do, 'cause she's not human like we are. She's far too beautiful to be true, definitely a long way better than good. Her smile brightens the world- my world- like a thousand suns. Perfection is her name, in every single way. But what strikes me most in that flawless face, are those two orbs of light that seem like an endless maze, drawing me in to swim in their depths. Eyes that aren't human's, for they're too beautiful to be true. Eyes that speak more than fables- of a love that's tried and true. But most of all, of such indescribable peace, that it seems to me that She isn't real. Maybe She's human, maybe She's not. But one thing I know for sure, is that those eyes that speak volumes, remind me of a symbol of peace- something we don't see so often, but brings a smile to my face- A dove. * This is not a collection of poems.

More than eight years before the novel opens, Anne Elliot, then a lovely, thoughtful, warm-hearted 19 year old, accepted a proposal of marriage from the handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth. He was clever, confident, and ambitious, but poor and with no particular family connections to recommend him. Sir Walter, Anne's fatuous, snobbish father and her equally self-involved older sister Elizabeth were dissatisfied with her choice, maintaining that he was no match for an Elliot of Kellynch Hall, the family estate. Her older friend and mentor, Lady Russell, acting in place of Anne's late mother, persuaded her to break the engagement. Now 27 and still unmarried, Anne re-encounters her former love when his sister and brother-in-law, the Crofts, take out a lease on Kellynch. Wentworth is now a captain and wealthy from maritime victories in the Napoleonic wars. However, he has not forgiven Anne for rejecting him. While publicly declaring that he is ready to marry any suitable young woman who catches his fancy, he privately resolves that he is ready to become attached to any appealing young woman except for Anne Elliot.
