Book Description
An unconditional love, a life-changing loss, a heart-wrenching choice. Successful and ambitious Victoria Turnbull has had enough of relationships––too many times she’s made painful sacrifices for love––but that was before she landed in the lap of a tall, quiet Welshman at her best friend’s New Year’s Eve party. Recently divorced Gavin Williams is calm, caring and kind. He falls instantly for the enigmatic Vicky, but it’s only when a hurricane blows through the Caribbean, cruelly ripping the lovers apart, that Vicky finally realises she has everything she’s ever wanted in Gav, except the one thing she truly desires—a baby. Surely a decade-old hidden secret won't stop her from having a child with the man she loves until she discovers getting pregnant is one thing, staying pregnant… another. Then when Gav's past slams unexpectedly into Vicky's present and she’s left reeling from a thirteen-year-old confession from former flame, Chris Williams, everything she thought she knew about love, life and her past decisions, is thrown into turmoil. With two Great Loves vying for her heart, will Vicky stay true to herself, or will her shameful secret stop her from having a baby with her forever Great Love? Buy A Star Unborn and prepare to have your heart broken, then uplifted in this epic series finale. From the majestic mountains of Snowdonia via the sun-drenched beaches of the Cayman Islands, the formality of Singapore, the laid-back vibe of San Diego, and the stunning vistas of New Zealand, A Star Unborn, the thrilling finale in The Three Great Loves of Victoria Turnbull series, is a beautiful and emotional love story about what it means to continue loving, even in the face of great loss.

Book Description
First published in 1985 by Moorland Press, The Light Railways of Britain & Ireland has remained unavailable for more than twenty-five years, until now. Re-released by Pen & Sword, this is a thorough and engaging book that covers, in depth, the fascinating story of Britain's last railway development, the Rural light railways, constructed as a result of the Light Railways Act 1896.Rigorously detailed, it charts the overall history of the last great railway boom in Britain the light railway boom from 1896, to the beginning of the Great War in 1914. During this period a large number of narrow and standard gauge lines were constructed in both Britain and Ireland, in order to serve and open up areas in both countries that, at the time, lacked adequate transport links. This book tells the story of how these lines were constructed and why, in most cases, they eventually failed, due to post-First World War road competition.Authored by two highly acclaimed writers of transport history, this is a true testament to, and a timely reminder of, Britain's last railway development.
