Book Description
A story of courage and transformation, of the power of friendship and love, and the importance of doing what is right, whatever the cost. 'Muted' centres around a strong, powerful woman who has lost her way in her pursuit of success in business, and an insightful, enigmatic man who wants to help her rediscover what is truly important. Outback horseman Lane Dimity is one of the most powerful social media personalities on the planet. Although unable to speak since the tragedy that took place on his eighth birthday, his words reach out across the world, changing lives. When he learns that more than a thousand stallions have been bred by the U.S. pharmaceutical company, Pilatos Industries, to be used in the development of their new drug, Stablex, he knows he has to do all he can to free them. Unfortunately, the heir to Pilatos, Karen Lawford, will do everything in her power to stop him. Pilatos has gambled its future on the revolutionary new drug, Stablex, and these genetically unique stallions are needed to produce the drug... there are no limits to what they will do to ensure that Lane doesn't interfere. Lane tries to convince Karen that the Pilatos stallions must be given their freedom, but his beliefs are losing the battle against the Pilatos creed of greed, and it is only when she learns the shocking truth of what lies at the heart of the laboratories that there's any chance of change, but is it too late for Lane? Sometimes, you only know how much you love someone once you lose them. An intriguing and inspiring story of love and friendship set against the greed of the corporate world. A story that explores what is important in life, starting with the heart-rending tragedy in the Prologue and journeying around the world with humour and mystery. You don't need to like horses to enjoy the book, but even the most experienced horse people will appreciate the knowledge shared by Lane.

Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Never judge a book by its cover, one of the world's most common clichés. Though sage advice, the age-old aphorism is rarely followed. Take, for instance, Tori McNabb and Ashton Spencer, two subjects who believe by aesthetics alone, they have no reason to breathe the same air. When startling circumstances align on the campus of Blakewood State University, the two have no choice but to look beyond their exteriors. McNabb is a fighter in life as well as in the ring. She knows what she's capable of and doesn't want to be tested. Her only goal is to never return to Millville, New Jersey while simultaneously flying under the radar as a small fish in the big BSU ocean. Spencer, the most popular athlete on campus is well on his way to success as a professional athlete and is confident the stars have aligned in his favor. Being tested by the underdog is one he'd never fail, or so he thinks. Journey with this unlikely pair inside the pages of their ugly covers. Publisher's Note: "My Muted Love" is book ONE of a THREE book series. It ends on a CLIFFHANGER. This book contains angst, profanity, sexually explicit content, and material related to young adults. If any of these elements is not what you prefer between the pages of a novel, this is not the venture for you.

Book Description
One month. No feelings. They've totally got this fake dating thing under control. Bisexual ex-barista Oliver is finally a high school math teacher, and it's everything he ever wanted. Until he stumbles across the mysterious customer he crushed on back when he worked at Knockdown Coffee... and kinda sorta accidentally tells his Vice Principal that he's dating her. Maybe his emotional baggage from his student teaching position isn’t as neatly stowed as he thought, or he wouldn’t have panicked and lied. Now what? Octavia, a bi programmer, didn't expect to run into the cute blue-haired barista again. Certainly not while volunteering at a local arts high school. He's much too young and much too nice for her—but when she discovers he's told people they're dating, it's a stroke of luck. She needs a temporary fake relationship to stick it to her professional nemesis, and Oliver's the perfect fit. The assignment is simple: he helps her out, she covers for him. Just one month of a convincing charade, and then after Octavia’s company gala, everything between them is absolutely and completely over. Sometimes, however, the homework is harder than you expect. CHECK YOUR WORK is a slow burn to high heat, age gap, bi4bi queer M/F romance novel that pairs a misanthropic older heroine and a cinnamon roll hero, with a guaranteed HEA. Content warnings are available in the book’s front matter and on the author’s website.
