Once again she's back! Keisha Ervin, that is, with her spellbinding tale of love, family, money, and scandal. In this sizzling new story, Keisha introduces you to Mina Matthews.

Castle in the Air
Author: Diana Wynne Jones
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062244558
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 407
Book Description
In this stunning sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, Diana Wynne Jones has again created a large-scale, fast-paced fantasy in which people and things are never quite what they seem. There are good and bad djinns, a genie in a bottle, wizards, witches, cats and dogs (but are they cats and dogs?), and a mysterious floating castle filled with kidnapped princesses, as well as two puzzling prophecies. The story speeds along with tantalizing twists and turns until the prophecies are fulfilled, true identities are revealed, and all is resolved in a totally satisfying, breathtaking, surprise-filled ending. Abdullah was a young and not very prosperous carpet dealer. His father, who had been disappointed in him, had left him only enough money to open a modest booth in the Bazaar. When he was not selling carpets, Abdullah spent his time daydreaming. In his dreams he was not the son of his father, but the long-lost son of a prince. There was also a princess who had been betrothed to him at birth. He was content with his life and his daydreams until, one day, a stranger sold him a magic carpet. All fans of classic fantasy books deserve the pleasure of reading those by Diana Wynne Jones, whose acclaim included the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement. As Neil Gaiman stated, she was "quite simply the best writer for children of her generation." The three books in the World of Howl are: Howl's Moving Castle Castle in the Air House of Many Ways Other beloved series from Dianna Wynne Jones include the Chronicles of Chrestomanci and the Dalemark Quartet.

Book Description
For ten years of Gray Rose's life she thought no other love could measure up to her long-time beau and baby's father, Gunz Marciano, until she met Cameron Parthens Jr. He came into her life and turned everything upside down with his devastating good looks, cocky demeanor, brash attitude and unfiltered way of speaking. When they first met it was hate at first sight. She'd never met someone so rude and hood in her life. Cam made it clear he didn't want a relationship. He just wanted to smash. Never in a million years did he plan on cuffin' Gray and making her his wife but over time he found his self fallin' hard for the plus-size, blue-eyed, half black and Korean beauty. Before Gray knew it, she too started catching feelings. She quickly found herself pullin' up every time he told her to fall through. Over the course of two months, she and Cam formed a bond built on friendship, honesty, unconditional support and mind-numbing sex. Tired of Gunz playing games with her mind and nonstop cheating, Gray chucked him up the deuce and married Cam on a whim. But marriage doesn't the fix the scars Gunz left behind. It forces her to realize she's far more insecure than she thought. Cam also has leftover baggage from a previous relationship and deep dark secrets that may scare Gray away. Will Cam live up to his wedding vow and be the man Gray believes he is, or will he leave her heart even more damaged and broken than Gunz did?
