From a RWA award-winning and #1 bestselling author comes a scorching new historical romance!

Scandal is second nature to outcast Kimimela Wallace…and so are the passions she can’t deny.

Fleeing a forbidden desire in the small Oklahoma town where her white father raised her, Kimi escapes to the Cheraksaw Reservation to be with her mother—and quickly finds herself in the arms of her childhood friend, Soaring Falcon. But no sooner does she arrive than her mother forces her out to make it on her own. The only thing to do is to take work she doesn’t want…as a governess for hard-hearted widower, Alex Randall. But the rumors and the reputation Kimi fled in town follow her there. And so does her curiosity as Mr. Randall stirs new desires in her when she discovers his shocking secret. Then tragedy strikes, and Kimi must risk everything to save both men. But deciding who will win her heart may mean stripping away the one thing she values most—her freedom. Can she give up one love for another, or will passion and forbidden desires lead to more than she thought possible?

some of the best and worst things come in pairs
and two has always been my favorite number

they tried to break me
the two of them

there’d be a clear winner

but it’s not
and there isn’t

there is only my story
muddled with color

#BookReview: Fey West by Michael J. Allen @TheDScribbler






Synopsis: Fey do not forgive, and they do not forget.
​Neither do gunslingers.

A half-elven druid turned gunslinger born under a death sentence in the New World and saved from execution in the Old, Rafael West returns to his homeland, wary and perilously indebted to the high fairy who negotiated his release.

Rafe is forced to champion a dwarven railroad laying poisonous, cold-iron across the wild lands of the fey continent, but their secrets can't remain hidden much longer. If the elven tribesman that condemned baby Rafe to death for “stealing” their magic uncover the railroad’s lies, the entire continent could be plunged into full scale war.

Between the fey nobility’s intrigues, hiding the railroad's crimes, and surviving elven “justice,” Rafe will require more than luck and six-guns to succeed. If he fails. If the tribes stop Big Iron, the fairy will murder all of Rafe’s friends and then torture Rafe’s lifelong love to death.

But this power comes at an unfathomable price…

After his home is attacked, Calder races to warn neighboring villages of the threat. Little does he know he’s traveling into the path of fate that will lead him straight to Liv.

Armor forged from the bones of those she held dear.

 

Together, Liv and Calder discover they are two sides of the same sharpened blade. Rising from the heartache and fury in their pasts, they see a future together worth fighting for.

Alexander Baima graduated college with $80,000 in student debt at the age of 23 from one of the top 25 business schools in America. After college he went to work as a financial planner and serviced fortune 500 clients. He created the financial plans that brokers took credit for, and while they grossed millions a year, he made minimum wage.
At 29, his parents had a house with an $80,000 mortgage and a child – and they lived on one income. At 29, Alexander still had over $50,000 in student debt. How could previous generations have so much more than most millennials who still struggle with little hope for the future?
Young, Broke and Educated investigates the decline of purchasing power among young people, especially over the last generation. It explores in basic, easy to understand terms, how economic systems have evolved to hinder the financial success of millennials and the incentives that government, big business and banks have to prevent progressive change.
Alexander Baima, a master in the field of eCommerce and early adopter of blockchain technology, walks you through, step-by-step, what the issues are and what needs to change to ensure that millennials and future generations have access to the same type of success that previous generations took for granted.
