Two boys are kidnapped from the same renowned family. A search spanning four years for the first boy is fruitless; the second boy is then taken. A rescue mission with world-wide implications ensues. When Jennifer’s child is kidnapped, she faces the consequences alone. After the event, her wealthy arms-dealer father secretly establishes and funds a Kidnap And Rescue Team (KART) for their local area in England. When the second family child along with a group of his friends is taken, the search for the missing children exposes an international child trafficking ring.

Boys Don't Cry
Author: Tim Grayburn
Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton
ISBN: 9781473636934
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Meet Tim. For nearly a decade Tim kept his depression secret. It made him feel so weak and shameful he thought it would destroy his whole life if anyone found out. But an unexpected discovery by a loved one forced him to confront his illness and realise there was strength to be found in sharing his story with others. When he finally opened up to the world about what he was going through he discovered he was not alone. Boys Don't Cry is a book that speaks against the stigma that makes men feel like they are less-than for struggling, making sense of depression and anxiety for people who might not recognise those feelings in themselves or others. It is a brutally honest, sometimes heart-breaking (and sometimes funny) tale about what it really takes to be a 'real man', written by one who decided that he wanted to change the status quo by no longer being silent. This is Tim's story, but it could be yours too.

Book Description
Mackenzie Pratt is having the worst luck of his life. His apartment building is being torn down, and since he's jobless and just weeks away from graduating college, he can't find anywhere else he can afford to live that isn't a critter-infested dump. As he's lamenting the very real possibility of job hunting while couch-surfing, he gets an offer from the coworker of his best friend. An in-demand mobile app developer and heir to his parents' fortune, Laurent Beaudry is literally an eccentric billionaire. Even though Mackenzie realizes he's basically living the plot of a cheesy romance novel, he takes the proffered room in Laurent's Baltimore mansion. He finds his new housemate to be grumpy, brooding, and, at times, incredibly kind and endearing. Raised by his brother after their father's death, Mackenzie spent his formative years plowing headlong through school, focusing on little else beyond earning his teaching certification. He's never taken the time to explore love and relationships, much less sexuality, so when he finds himself being courted by another man, he has no idea what to do. And when he realizes he might actually return those feelings, his life takes a whole new direction.
