Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There are two kinds of people in this word; people who take and people who get taken from. I don’t intend to be the latter anymore.” –Law Calloway They say friends make the worst enemies, but what about family? The Calloway family secret was supposed to be taken to the grave. Now that Raquel knows the two feuding families are intertwined in more ways than one, and the man she loves is presumed dead, she has to figure out her next move. Whatever she decides, she has to be careful. After all, she’s carrying around his family’s biggest secret, along with what happened to Nashiya. Will Raquel succumb to the fast and dangerous life of the man she loves as part of her vengeance against Dallas, or, will Derrick, the one skeleton from her past, spill the secret that unravels everything? Everyone thinks that dead men tell no tales, but that is a deadly mistake. Now that the people Law loves and those who hate him the most think he’s out of the picture for good, he can make his moves in silence as he continues to lay out his plan on the path to ultimate respect. He plans to leave no stone unturned when it comes to getting Detective Mason and the Price family off his back for good, because this time around, he’s playing for keeps. In the blink of an eye, Blaze finds himself faced with new responsibilities, and the weight of the world is on his shoulders now that he thinks he’s the only Calloway man left to redeem his family’s name. With a baby on the way and a new relationship blooming with Nevaeh, he has to be more mindful of the moves he makes. Thinking with his mind and not with his gun for the first time may be one of the hardest things he’s ever had to do. Even with Nashiya gone, Dallas still held up his end of their final bargain by giving Law a wedding gift he’d never forget. What he doesn’t know is he may be playing right into Law’s hand. Dallas has his own ulterior motives in this cat and mouse game, and wants proof of the information Raquel revealed to him to save her life. Because now he knows the Price’s and Calloway’s were more than just enemies, they were family. In the finale of this ride or die love story, everyone is seeking their own revenge by any means necessary. As secrets come pouring out like rain, will love conquer all, even when it’s foundation is shaky? For both families, it’s not the beginning of the story that concerns them, it’s not knowing how it will all end.

With more responsibilities on his plate, will he let his relationship with the streets interfere with his personal relationship? As the baby of the family, the only things Blaze Calloway is concerned with are smoking good, eating good, and living his best life. For him, that means getting money fast and blowing it even faster. When tragedy sweeps the Calloway family up like a tornado, will he step out of his brothers’ shadows for good and prove that he can be a boss in his own right?

Book excerpt: When love leaves nineteen-year-old Loyalty Wallace with nothing but a pair of bruised ribs, she finds herself with $500,000 in stolen cash from her boyfriend, Whip, and a target on her back. She plans to use that money to escape her toxic relationship, but what she doesn’t know is the money she stole wasn’t his to keep. It was a loan from the Belmonte family, one of the most dangerous families in the heart of the Big Apple. Most children are taught not to play with their food, but Nevahn “Lourde” Belmonte was taught never to play with his money. He comes from a world of trappers and killers disguised as businessmen, so there are no college savings or 401K’s, only street money. As the only son of a street god, he’s next in line to inherit the million-dollar family “business” until his father throws a wrench in his plans. He must create a legacy, and he will not hand him the keys to the kingdom until he has a wife. With the lifestyle he lives, there’s no room for monogamy, let alone marriage. When Loyalty’s actions land her in Lourde’s presence, he’s immediately drawn to her fearlessness and beauty. She just may be the girl he needs to get what he wants. When given the chance, he makes her an offer she can’t refuse. Over time, what was supposed to be just a “business” deal turns into much more than just six zeros scribbled on a check. In A Ruthle$$ Love Story, she will find out what it’s like to fall in love with a man whose reputation is almost as ruthless as his smile, and he will learn what it means to love someone unconditionally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This isn’t how I pictured my life, but falling in love with Law may have been the deadliest decision I ever made ...” Everybody knows that once a good girl goes bad, she's gone forever. Raquel has always been one to play by the rules, but after her first taste of hood love, she drops her old life without a second thought, including her friends and the ashes of her last failed relationship. When her ex-fiancé, Derrick, comes to Miami in search of answers, she’ll be forced to answer the who, what, when, and why of her new life. What will she do when he asks for a second chance now that she’s already given her heart away to Law? She knows the savage in Law cannot be tamed, and it will only be a matter of time before he’s out for blood. Can she play her new role and hold him down, or will she leave Miami and go back to her old life? The most valuable lesson Law ever learned wasn’t from his parents; it was from the streets: whatever comes your way face it on your feet, come hell or high water. Now he finds himself enraged and in jail with his back against the wall. Law knows his set up was not random, but by design. All roads lead to Shiya. Although he's managed to stay clear of the judicial system thus far, he just may have to clean up the mess his brother created, even if that means doing a bid for a trigger he didn’t pull. As he prepares to beat his case, Law will become a menace on the streets of Miami, and show his enemies exactly why they call him “Law.” He soon becomes the most sought-after man by friends and foes, alike. It’s no secret that the only thing that has Blaze’s heart is the streets. He’s content with living his life on the edge, making sure his family’s empire continues to thrive, and the Calloway name remains respected. Blaze will always be his brother’s keeper, so when he learns of Law’s imprisonment, he sets out on his own path of revenge. Under his reckless exterior, he finds himself yearning for the love his brother shares with Raquel. When a one-night stand results in a positive pregnancy test, he is forced to put his priorities in order. Is he mature enough to wean himself off his fixation with exotic women and money? Just when Shiya thought she was going to become Mrs. Calloway, she experienced the most embarrassing moment of her life when he stood her up at the altar. Now all she’s left with is a million-dollar ring and a scorned heart. With rage as the underlying factor, she plans to settle her debt with the man who broke her heart and the woman she knows he left her for. When she opens Pandora’s Box, her devious plot could put more than just the Calloway family at risk. This love story is dripping with lies, bloodshed, and secrets, some stretching back over twenty years. When lines are blurred, it becomes harder for everyone to see who their true enemies are. After all, love is a strong emotion, but then again, so is hate. In the end, you’ll see if Miami’s new favorite couple can weather the storm.

Book excerpt: Born into Southern aristocracy, Mary Boykin Chesnut (1823–86) married a rising star of the political scene who ultimately served as an aide to Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

Hailed by William Styron as "a great epic drama of our greatest national tragedy," Chesnut's annotated diary won the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1982 and served as a primary source for Ken Burns's celebrated Civil War documentary.

Download or read book Becoming Queen Victoria written by Kate Williams and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The perfect companion to the PBS Masterpiece series Victoria • A gripping account of Queen Victoria’s rise and early years in power from CNN’s official royal historian “Kate Williams has perfected the art of historical biography. Her pacy writing is underpinned by the most impeccable scholarship.”—Alison Weir In 1819, a girl was born to the fourth son of King George III. No one could have expected such an unassuming, overprotected girl to be an effective ruler—yet Queen Victoria would become one of the most powerful monarchs in history. Writing with novelistic flair and historical precision, Kate Williams reveals a vibrant woman in the prime of her life, while chronicling the byzantine machinations that continued even after the crown was placed on her head. Upon hearing that she had inherited the throne, eighteen-year-old Victoria banished her overambitious mother from the room, a simple yet resolute move that would set the tone for her reign. The queen clashed constantly not only with her mother and her mother’s adviser, the Irish adventurer John Conroy, but with her ministers and even her beloved Prince Albert—all of whom attempted to seize control from her. Williams lays bare the passions that swirled around the throne—the court secrets, the sexual repression, and the endless intrigue. The result is a grand tale of a woman whose destiny began long before she was born and whose legacy lives on. Praise for Becoming Queen Victoria “An informative, entertaining, gossipy tale.”—Publishers Weekly “A great read . . . With lively writing, Ms. Williams [makes] the story fresh and appealing.”—The Washington Times “Sparkling, engaging.”—Open Letters Monthly
