Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Billionaire Wilderness offers an unprecedented look inside the world of the ultra-wealthy and their relationship to the natural world, showing how the ultra-rich use nature to resolve key predicaments in their lives. Justin Farrell immerses himself in Teton County, Wyoming--both the richest county in the United States and the county with the nation's highest level of income inequality--to investigate interconnected questions about money, nature, and community in the twenty-first century. Farrell draws on three years of in-depth interviews with "ordinary" millionaires and the world's wealthiest billionaires, four years of in-person observation in the community, and original quantitative data to provide comprehensive and unique analytical insight on the ultra-wealthy. He also interviewed low-income workers who could speak to their experiences as employees for and members of the community with these wealthy people. He finds that the wealthy leverage nature to climb even higher on the socioeconomic ladder, and they use their engagement with nature and rural people as a way of creating more virtuous and deserving versions of themselves. Billionaire Wilderness demonstrates that our contemporary understanding of the relationship between the ultra-wealthy and the environment is empirically shallow, and our reliance on reports of national economic trends distances us from the real experiences of these people and their local communities"--

Add a fear of loss and the tough guy will avoid falling in love at all cost. That’s where Loukas Mikos finds himself. After meeting Loukas on one of the luxury family vacations Natalie had started crushing on him almost immediately. She’d been the nanny of his cousin’s daughter but she’d spent time enough with Loukas to know she’d fall completely in love with him if he gave her more than a friendly smile. And here they both are on a Mikos cruise ship to Greece for Loukas’s sister’s wedding. The high society wedding is a big deal in the Mikos family and the mother of the bride is on high alert. Everything must be perfect. Loukas has been set up with a date he doesn’t want and he’s balking. When Natalie seems to be a good diversion from the set up, Loukas takes advantage of the opportunity. As a temporary stand in, Natalie has a great time, though caution screamed in the back of her mind. She reminds herself constantly that this isn’t real, but she still feels herself falling for the brash billionaire cruise line owner. Who wouldn’t? But once they’re past the wedding, there’s no more reason to spend time together. Natalie is sure her chance was lost and she’s tempering her emotions to go back to real life when the special vacation was over. Loukas feels lost but can't quite give in to the idea of being tied down. Will the family scandal that's looming just on the horizon pull these two together or will their connection be lost forever?
