Book Description
Second in the trilogy that brings readers into the turbulent lives of a bluegrass country horseracing clan from the #1 bestselling author of Kentucky Rich. The powerful series that reunites the beloved Coleman and Thornton families continues with the story of Nealy Coleman Diamond. With her, horses come first. So when her two grown children’s irresponsible acts nearly cost her Shufly, the foal that carries all her hopes for the Triple Crown, she throws them both off Blue Diamond Farm, a decision that changes their future—and her own. When Hatch Littletree, her ex-husband’s law partner, pays an unexpected visit, he brings Nealy much-needed comfort. But he also brings turmoil. A tough Native American and a brilliant attorney, Hatch is determined to see Nealy heal the painful rift with her children. He’s also a man Nealy cannot resist. Raw with emotion, and yet filled with an unstoppable energy, Nealy will face bitter disappointments, exhilarating triumphs, and a night of bloodcurdling terror—one that could mean the end of her dreams . . . and maybe her life. In Kentucky Heat Fern Michaels keeps readers enthralled, as the power of a woman’s indomitable spirit leaps off the page . . . and rushes like a thoroughbred toward a finish you will never forget. Kentucky Sunrise Praise for the Kentucky Trilogy “Prose so natural that it seems you are witnessing a story rather than reading about it.” —Los Angeles Sunday Times “Fun . . . more plot twists than a soap opera, and will keep readers on tenterhooks for the next in the series.” —Booklist

When it came to killing, John “The Butcher” Branson had been the go-to guy for the five mafia families for years. An eight-year stint in prison and sharing a cell with Eddie Jaramillo, a Cartel cocaine smuggler who once worked for El Chapo, has him rethinking his life choices. Convinced by Eddie that there is easy money to be made in Miami if the two of them team up, John leaves prison and heads to the Sunshine State, ready to be his own boss for once. Things in Miami are more complicated, though, than Eddie made them seem. Staying one step ahead of the law and their competition requires paying off officials and gaining the trust and support of La Fantasma, The Ghost, a woman who has survived in a man’s world and risen to be the ultimate force to be reckoned with in the drug smuggling game. Dealing with their competition has left The Butcher with more bodies than ever to dispose of through his own unique methods. Worse, is the growing realization that he is hemmed in on every side. Being hunted by a joint DEA-FBI task force led by two agents with an axe to grind against Eddie and him, threatened by the mafia for interfering in their local business, betrayed by those in his inner circle, and realizing that he and his new business associate share different goals and values has him wondering: is there anyone in Miami he isn’t going to have to kill?

Book Description
The world as we know it is undergoing a sudden and violent transformation, unlike anything the planet has experienced since the Cretaceous Extinction. The evidence is all around us: vast droughts that last decades, super-storms and floods that destroy cities, dwindling aquifers, vanishing glaciers, toxic water supplies, raging wildfires, obscure new diseases, vanishing species and indigenous communities. Our planet is changing faster than evolution can keep up. The forces driving this radical transformation are not natural. The earth has been brought to the brink by a greed-based predatory economic system that chews up anything in its path and spits it out to the bitter end. Environmental journalists Jeffrey St. Clair and Joshua Frank take you on a sobering field trip through the danger zones; from the strip mines of Appalachia to last refuge of the grizzly, from the dirty fracking fields to the world s most dangerous place, the Hanford Nuclear Site in the Pacific Northwest. The Big Heat charts the battle lines for the future of the planet, from corporate villains to corrupt politicians and the fearless environmentalists who are standing up against the pillaging. This is an unflinching chronicle of the last fight that really matters.
