Book Description
A King's Ransom. . .Or A Lady's Heart? When sensible Miss Primrose Chartley discovered that her eccentric--and quite wealthy--grandfather had publicly announced the future disposition of his fortune, it explained why she and her penniless sisters had been abducted, proposed to, and showered with morning callers--all of the male persuasion. The reason was Raven's Ransom: an indecent amount of money to be settled on one of the girls--but only after all three of them were wed! Yet the sly old scamp had created a more vexing predicament than he intended, for now Daisy had fallen for a gambler with a dubious title, and young Lily for a highwayman! It would all come right in the end, Primrose was sure--if only she could be certain that her own surprising tendre for Lord Gareth Rochester would win her the only prize she longed for. . .his love.

Book Description
I decided to call the book Lito Wuz Here and use a picture of the neighborhood I grew up in (Georgetown South) because I want to be able to inspire young kids who grew up in that neighborhood or in a similar one. Lito is my childhood nickname; my siblings, along with close family and friends, still call me that. When I was growing up in the South (Georgetown South), there were times when I felt trapped and thought to myself that I would never make anything of myself in life. I look back now and realize the drugs and alcohol had a heavy influence on the mindset that I had at that age. I am now thirty-one years old and have been completely sober since Christmas of 2019. Many of my poems were written while hospitalized in many different psych wards and throughout many sleepless nights. It makes me realize that there is a purpose, even for our hardships in life. My goal is to reach out to anyone that is willing to hear and make them realize there is always hope, no matter where you come from. That hope may just not come from a direction you initially thought. I never thought nor had the goal of becoming a published author or poet. I wrote my first poem in April 15, 2020, and have been writing them ever since. Though I do not follow a certain poetic format, I believe I’ve meshed my love for hip-hop and my fondness for poetry and developed my own style, which is the way I like to write. My poetry book, Lito Wuz Here, was written with the hopes of inspiring a younger generation.

STEAMY HOT PREGNANCY ROMANCE COLLECTION 4 Standalone Romance Short Stories With No Cliffhanger Baby By Christmas When 27-year-old Senior Project Manager Keisha Jones was dumped right before Christmas, she knew it was time for a change. She’d dated a string of losers, and she was done. Inspired by testimonials, she signed up with a match-making agency, and within a few months, she was matched with handsome, 30-year-old billionaire Dean Stark, President and Founder of Stark Aerospace and Defense. He’s more than deep pockets and shrewd business sense, and Keisha finds herself falling in love with the first man who’s ever really understood her. There’s only one problem. With a famous ex and a few skeletons that come tumbling out of his closet right after they spend the night together, Keisha isn’t sure that she can handle Dean’s baggage. She dumps him, doing her best to avoid him for more than a month while she heals her broken heart. She’s angry and hurt, but a mysterious illness and a trip to the hospital leaves her reeling and feeling lost. When he shows up to be by her side after she’s all but cursed the very ground he walks on, she’s forced to consider whether she ran away because he wasn’t The One, or because being vulnerable is scary. My Baby Daddy Zara never expected to be 38, broke, and pregnant for a mysterious stranger, but finding out that said mysterious stranger had a lot of money didn’t put her at ease, and she knew why. Zara Yesterday was my graduation from cosmetology school, one of my biggest achievements to date. So of course I went out to celebrate, did the teenage girl party thing where you get drunk and fuck a complete stranger. Except I am not a teenager, I am a 38 year old woman who is broke and now pregnant with a stranger’s child. Nathan I don’t do this normally, sleep with random girls I meet at my club. But something about this girl was different. She was witty and funny and the best of all, she had thought I was a valet and had still been into me. One night wasn’t enough so I tracked her down intending to have a proper first date with her, only to find out that she is less than exited to see me. The realization that I am billionaire not only left her unimpressed, but it seems to also make her not like me. But I like her, and I want her, and I am going to fight for her. Her Billionaire Baby Daddy Sabrina’s world is turned upside down when she first meets Jason, literally, but soon lies and secrets tear them apart. Is the sizzle enough to pull them back together? It’s just a normal, crappy day for Sabrina, there isn’t anything special about it at all…until she does the Downward Duck position in yoga that is. Once upside down, Sabrina spots the man of her dreams which changes everything, especially when he asks her out on the first date she’s been on for months. But Jason isn’t exactly who he says he is and secrets can never stay hidden for long. When Sabrina learns that Jason has been lying to her, she runs. She’s not going to be fooled, even if he excited her like she’s never been before. Sabrina won’t be made a fool of. But fate has a twisted plan for her, dragging her right back into Jason’s life, leaving her questioning everything. Mainly, is the sizzle enough to stick around for? Healing Alien’s Heart Doctor Raven Glass is an expert in alien medicine and is called to the planet of Xulara to help its dying queen. With all of the planet’s resources at her disposal she is able to nurse queen Ozhenia back to health, but snagged the heart of the prince along the way. With things heating up between Prince Eoch and the doctor, all seems on the up and up until the king returns to find things not as he wished. Determined to have his son live the life he wants, he banishes Dr. Glass back to Earth where she is bearing much more than a broken heart. With the heir of the Xularese throne kicking inside her womb, Raven Glass must choose to either keep it a secret, or to fight for her rightful place in the royal family and face the wrath of the king. Either way, she needed to know if Prince Eoch was going to stand by her side. By the end of it all, she’ll get the answers she’s looking for plus much more than she ever imagined possible. Hopefully a happily ever after in love will be in the stars as Raven races through the galaxy with forever in her sights and in her heart.
