Book Description
After staking my latest bounty, all I want is a quick drink before escaping the sweltering summer heat of New Los Angeles to enjoy a quiet, uneventful weekend at home. Except, a strong drink has me making some rather questionable decisions… Like accepting a job to retrieve a family heirloom for the handsome vampire who owns Noctis—a popular nightclub in New Los Angeles. It doesn’t take long to realize that there’s more to him than I first thought. He’s different from other vampires I’ve come in contact with. He’s sweet, like a sexy cinnamon roll. What started as a simple retrieval job soon becomes deadly. The secret surrounding the ring is one many would kill to possess. I could end up losing my job or my life. But it’s a risk I’m willing to take because if the ring ends up in the wrong hands, there’s no telling what consequences it might have for the world. *This is a stand-alone, cute, paranormal romance set in an alternate universe.

Book Description
Slavery: The Darkest History of the United States offers a compelling and meticulously researched journey into the heart of America’s most painful chapter. Spanning over 250 years, this narrative delves deep into the institution of slavery, a period that not only shaped the nation’s early economy but also its societal and ethical framework. The book begins with the harrowing origins of the transatlantic slave trade, tracing the journey of millions of Africans forcibly transported to the New World. It lays bare the cruel realities of plantation life, where human beings were reduced to mere property. The narrative unfolds through heart-wrenching personal accounts and historical analyses, painting a vivid picture of the daily struggles and injustices faced by slaves. Yet within these pages, there is also a story of resilience and resistance. The book chronicles the brave acts of rebellion and the tireless efforts of abolitionists who fought against the odds to bring an end to this inhumane practice. It captures the spirit of a people who, despite unimaginable hardships, never lost hope for a brighter future. Moving beyond the Emancipation Proclamation, the author explores the enduring legacy of slavery in the United States. The book thoughtfully examines how the remnants of this dark era continue to influence contemporary American society, culture, and race relations. Slavery: The Darkest History of the United States is not just a recount of past atrocities; it is an introspective reflection on America’s ongoing journey toward healing and reconciliation. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the profound impact of this period on the American identity and the long, challenging path toward achieving true equality and justice.
