Book Description
Cassandra Bishop’s boyfriend is back. And this time, it’s war. Hardcore tomboy Cass had thought she’d seen the last of her miserable excuse for an ex when he left her at the altar. But he’s come back to their hometown, new “perfect” fiancee in tow, determined to show the world Cass was never woman enough for him. Never one to turn away from a fight, Cass is willing to do whatever it takes to prove to everyone—including herself—that she’s more woman than they can handle. The only problem…she has no idea where to start! Burke Hallifax’s worst nightmare has somehow come true. His best friend wants him to see her as a real female, something Burke has spent a lifetime specifically avoiding. On the other hand, he’s also spent years getting rid of the no-good, worthless, faithless waste of space that was her high school sweetheart. The last thing he’s willing to do is watch Cass turn herself inside out again for a jerk who wasn’t worth her spit, which means going all-in to help Cass win her bet, even if it means seeing her in a whole new light. Anything to keep her from falling back in love with the wrong guy… Now the entire town is betting as well—on whether Burke and Cass can pull off the makeover of the century…without falling in love. Book One of the Rancho del Cielo Romance series—now with a brand new epilogue!

In the Black Forest Spa town of Baden-Baden for the money to be made at the gaming tables, professional gambler and Englishman Quintus Tiverton is disturbed to hear the sound of an English girl being whipped savagely in an attic room of a country inn. ‘It is none of my business,’ he tells himself, but the sound of the girl’s weeping is inescapable and he has to go and investigate. Instantly he is captivated by Selina Wade, the blue-eyed waif he encounters and, finding that she is being exploited cruelly by a ‘domestic agency’ proprietor who is little better than a ‘madam’, resolves to save her. Quintus Tiverton smuggles her out of the inn in the early morning and he then spends a great deal of money, which he does not have, in buying her new fashionable dresses to make even more beautiful. And so naïve Selina finds herself posing as the gambler’s pretty sister, as Quintus Tiverton tries to marry her off to someone suitably rich amongst the international wealthy who frequent Baden-Baden in the Season . Little does Quintus know that poor Selina’s heart is already taken. And she only has eyes for him! Still less does he realise that he too is falling in love.

Pages : 214
Book Description
"THE ENLIGHTENED GAMBLER, The Heart and Spirit of the Risk Taker in All of us" guides the reader through the author's world of gambling, seduced by the never ending excitement in the "land of uncertainty." The book encourages readers to step past the superficial and take a more conscious view of the motivating drive in all of us to take risks. In a lighthearted, sometimes laugh-out-loud, self deprecating style, the author playfully and willingly exposes his own vulnerability to the seductive lure of gambling, but then points out ways to encourage winning attitudes, which he has developed over the years, while defusing old, toxic, loser mentality. You can find my blogs at www.theenlightenedgambler.com. "I wrote this book, first of all, to point out that everybody gambles, but most people don't call what they do gambling. Some of the risks we take in life work out and some don't. Right? Well guess what? I call those risks gambles. I also wrote this book to help you laugh out loud about all the dumb moves I made as a gambler, and maybe, just maybe, after laughing out loud at MY screw-ups, you'll sit back and take a look at your own. I say, if you want to play, you have to pay. One way or another. You either lose your stubborn defiance or you lose your shirt. So which one ya gonna choose?"
