Book Description
The Red Gold is the third book in The Viking Series. After a disastrous fire, Sigve the Awful decides to rebuild the old hall, but in one of the post holes, the thralls find a gold hoard hidden under the stone footing. It’s a huge treasure trove, but how big is it? And who buried the gold? Sigve’s guardsmen have spotted a large warship sailing towards Vik, and in order to defend the gold, the young chieftain may once again depend on Yljali, his thrall lover. Only she can unleash the hidden powers of his magic sword. Yljali, however, is in labour, giving birth to Sigve’s child. In this third book, Sigve finds himself becoming ever more deeply ensnared in the politics and wars of the turbulent world of the Viking kings. The young and unexperienced leader must use all his wits and strength to defend his property and his people. He may even depend on the gods.

He might be back from the dead, but it's Rose who is suddenly feeling very, very much alive.

Book Description
Taken by the Dwarven Warrior! Never fall in love with a poor man. Even if he does kiss like an angel. An infuriating, all too gorgeous, deadly angel. When an accident at the Cavendish Winter Ball sends me flying into the arms of a penniless nobody, my abrupt craving for him threatens to derail my husband hunt. Jerred Whitemarsh is poor; a relationship between us isn't going to work! He says we're fated mates, but the only thing fate ever dealt me was a bad hand. Jerred makes me yearn for the impossible.... Jerred I am the Earl of Whitemarsh; the King's left-hand man. I fight behind the scenes to keep the kingdom safe, stop royal intrigues from turning into royal murder, and prevent assassins from killing my cousin, the king. Most importantly, I run politically sensitive and dangerous errands no sane dwarf will take. When Arabella, the queen-in-waiting, asks me to bring her cousin to safety in Dwarfholme, I immediately leave for Cavendish Castle. But the world above is different and bringing Deidra back is more difficult than it looks. Fate gave her to me, but the curvy beauty is a complication in my already complicated life. I don’t want her…but gods forgive me. I need her. Full of insta-love goodness and fated mate tropes, hot dwarfs who look like Vikings, a hidden world on the verge of war, ex-lovers, trolls and zombies. This book is chock-full of Angst with a capital “A”, drama (do you expect any less from Jerred??), reincarnated gods, lots of wonderful clichés and fabulous cake! Not responsible for hunger pangs *wink* of either sort. As the buildup to war continues in the background, all Flint Albridge wants is to lay low and keep his people safe. He doesn’t need a human mate complicating things! Or the friend he never knew he needed…in Seduced by the Dwarven Duke. Out now!

Money Pits: British Mining Companies in the Californian and Australian Gold Rushes of the 1850s
Author: John Woodland
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317094263
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
Between 1849 and 1853 shares in nearly 120 public companies to exploit the booming goldfields of California and Australia were offered to the British public. The companies were collectively capitalised at over £15 million, but in the end only some £1.75 million was actually raised between 42 of them, with only one company surviving what the newspapers of the day described as a ’gold bubble’. This book provides an overview of the entire bubble event, its antecedents and its outcomes. A number of researchers have investigated an earlier boom in the mid-1820s to reopen gold and silver mines in Latin America and several have studied individual company operations of that period. This is the first detailed investigation of the British gold bubble companies of the 1850s and their involvement in the almost simultaneous gold rushes on both sides of the Pacific Ocean.
