Akis Diakos, brother of the groom, should be looking forward to planning the bachelor party, but burdened by the weight of family expectation, his mind is elsewhere: he has a decision to make – one that could, apparently, ruin his little brother’s life forever. When Cara learns that her aunt Margot brought her here under false pretences, she’s faced with a dilemma. She’s not sung in public since that fateful day at Eurovision when her life fell apart, and she’s not planning to now. But with Akis’s encouragement, it’s time for both of them to face up to their fears. And who knows – maybe this beautiful duet will also lead to a beautiful romance? From the queen of Greek romance comes a story that will heal those heartstrings and make you believe in love again…Praise for Mandy Baggot:'Mandy Baggot at her best - equal measures heart, humour and romance.

Whether it's rescuing strays or feeding a furry friend in need, Bean knows animals deserve friendship just as much as humans. (Possibly more.) So when a troop of visiting soldiers plans to use a baby dragon as bait to kill its mother, Bean knows it's up to her to stop them. But facing a squad of fighters and the mage leading them is bigger than Bean's usual rescues. Good thing she has a squad of her own: her fierce and practical older sister Rae, and Niya, her middle sister with a secret magical talent up her sleeve. A totally mighty team - so long as her big sisters understand this is Bean's mission, one she won't give up even if it's dangerous. Even if the plan goes wrong. And if she actually frees the hatchling? Maybe her siblings will finally notice what Bean's been trying to show them for ages: their little sister isn't so little anymore. This short story in the Dauntless Path world takes place between The Bone Knife (1.5), and The Theft of Sunlight (Book 2), but can be read out of order, whenever makes your heart happy!
