He might be just what I need. A big spender to help me with my money issues. There’s just one problem. This is no average man. This is Giovanni Sorrentino, the new King of Vegas. When I stumble on something I shouldn’t, I realize I’m in big trouble. Now it’s more than just money on the line. I’m a goner unless I accept his deal—vow to be his, and I get to live. But how long will it be before this savage King tires of his new toy? Queen of Hearts: I’ve won the crown, but the war is far from over. My brother wants to take everything from me…my crime empire, my throne, my woman. My father’s made his decision: he’s chosen me as the King of the Sorrentino empire. But my twin brother, Giancarlo, is not giving up the throne without a fight. Blood means nothing when it’s your brother across enemy lines.

With an empire that grows by the day, he’s a modern-day King—a Tyrant addicted to power, ruling by fear and domination. He’s even worse behind closed doors. Cold, callous, and cruel, he’s unbearable. For my own sanity, I can’t do it anymore. I have to get away. But my dominant Mafia King husband refuses to let me go so easily. We made a vow ’til death; one he fully intends on seeing through to the bitter end. It’s a dangerous game I’m playing, attempting to escape his wrath. This time, if he catches me, there will be no mercy to be had.

So she heads out on a quest to petition the queen to keep the tavern in her name—dodging unscrupulous guards, a band of thieves, and a powerful, enchanted feather that seems drawn to her.

Book excerpt: DeLaine is in 7th grade at Samson High. She is 12 and on the verge of turning 13; a milestone. Learning about the changes she's feeling in her body and mind, DeLaine realizes that physical feelings don't always mean true love, as she thought when she was younger. Nevertheless, she develops feelings for Kevin Strong, her psychopathic stepbrother's best friend and "King" of 8th grade. If he wasn't untouchable for one reason - Geoffrey's jealousy - then he is untouchable for his difference in age and status. Kevin doesn't share her thoughts about their relationship being taboo. DeLaine is obliged to push Kevin away to minimize the abuse she will endure if her stepbrother ever knows her true feelings for his best friend. She has a budding friendship with one of the popular girls, Bailey Rains, and is surprised when Bailey shows nothing but warmth and kindness to a "complete zero" like her. DeLaine's self-esteem gradually begins to develop as she spends more time with Bailey. Just when her life seems to be on an even keel, her stepmother comes home from the mental hospital. DeLaine's new defiance allows her a different way to deal with the abuse she constantly receives from her step-monsters as she navigates adolescence. The first book in the series is Dust in the Wind and occurs just after the tornado of Terrible Tuesday, April 10th, 1979 in Wichita Falls, TX. The journey of DeLaine Reynolds continues as she navigates the first half of 7th grade at Samson High.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hundreds of ordinary Canadians tell their own stories in this book. They tell them in their own words, and the impact is astonishing. As page after page of unforgettable stories rolls by, it is easy to see why this book sold 300,000 copies and why a successful stage play that ran for years was based on them. The stories, and the 52 accompanying photographs, tell of an extraordinary time. One tells how a greedy Maritime landlord ho tried to raise a widow's rent was tarred and gravelled; another how rape by the boss was part of a waitress's job. Other stories show Saskatchewan families watching their farms turn into deserts and walking away from them; or freight-trains black with hoboes clinging to them, criss-crossing the country in search of work; or a man stealing a wreath for his own wife's funeral. Throughout this portrait of the era before Canada had a social safety net, there are amazing stories of what Time magazine called "human tragedy and moral triumph during the hardest of times." In the end, this is an inspiring, uplifting book about bravery, one you will not forget.
