Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Heather Graham recreates the tumultuous history of America’s least-known frontier, Florida, in a love story that burns with passion and truth. “I accepted you as payment on a gambling table because you’re incredibly beautiful. And I want you for the same reason.” His smoldering gaze claimed her long before a poker hand made her his. Tara Brent knew she could never escape this dark and brooding stranger who promised her safety, with a price: marriage—and life together in the lush, lethal wilderness of Florida. She didn’t even know his name, only the promise of passion, and refuge in his arms. Jarret McKenzie swept his ravishing bride away from New Orleans to his remote Florida plantation, determined to uncover the desperate secret from which she ran. But he couldn’t tell her of his own Seminole roots—or open her guarded heart—until his former commander, President Andrew Jackson, declared war on the Indians, and a powerful enemy from Tara’s past found his way to their door.

Download or read book It s Only Banter written by Leroy Rosenior and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Willie Leroy Rosenior, better known as Leroy Rosenior, is a former professional footballer, manager and now media commentator. Leroy's parents were born and raised in Sierra Leone before settling in Britain in the early 1950s and his story cuts across three generations of the Rosenior family. It's the story of an extrovert father who dealt with the racism-both every day and life-threatening-with wit and charm; of a son who learned that keeping your head down was the best option for a black player in the early Eighties; and his son Liam, who has carved out a successful Premier League career. Laced with humorous anecdotes, this book offers a deeply personal insight into the damaging effects of racism in football and in British society as a whole. At a time when football's administrators continue to fumble the ball on issues of discrimination, Leroy draws on his own experience-and that of other high-profile football personalities-to offer practical solutions.
