The gavel hit the block and his mind went silent. Marks soul folded up small: once, twice, and once more. Until his senses were withdrawn from the reality and the numbness in his head made a dream-time of the external world. His mothers cries echoing in the courtroom. But it couldn't be real, could it? A violent thrust and he fell into a cage. A heavy door closing behind. The sound of the starting engine. Bang! The gavel against the block now was no more than a resonance in his head. He lost the game. It was over. From mindless delinquent to mindful hypnotist, Mark Anthonys story take us from the criminal world of Southeast London, through many trials and tribulations to a successful career as one of Australia's most sought after Hypnotists. A roller-coaster of family violence, children's home, expelled and suspended from schools, child abuse, drugs, crime and loss of freedom in the form of time behind bars; cancer, bankrupt, divorce and false accusations, brother of a murderer, and the power of a mans mind driving his way out to a brighter life of love and success. Marks incredible story goes beyond anything told before: a real emerging phoenix. Fatherless, poor, beaten, abused, arrested, belted, threatened, on the verge of death...Marks childhood and adolescence elapsed like the worst of nightmares. The brother of a murderer, he lost four friends to heroin and was employed by an underworld figure. Treated like scum but trusting there was a way out, it was when the game seemed lost, behind bars, that Mark decided to change his life. It was an arduous path, rich in disappointments and great mistakes, albeit Marks life tells us that nothing is fatal and never everything is lost. An inspirational but raw story showing us that, no matter where we are at, there is always a way up if we put our mind to it, "It's all about the choices we make."

From a USA Today Bestselling Author ~ An exciting Regency Romance! A woman with a tattered past meets a wounded war hero... Sarah Ramsey set aside her hopes and dreams after her disastrous arrival in London nearly two years ago that left her ruined in Society’s eyes--and her mother’s. She’s grateful for her position as a companion with a kind employer, though her new life falls short of her expectations. Her dull existence is upended when she’s asked to plan a charity ball and meets the handsome man assigned to aid her. Captain Harry Clarke enjoys his work with a charity for wounded soldiers, especially since he lost a leg in the war, which makes him a greater burden to his family. Though he feels unqualified to plan a ball, doing so with lovely Sarah is certainly no hardship. After a passionate kiss, he is even more drawn to her as she makes him feel whole. Given her ruined reputation, Sarah knows nothing can come from her attraction to Harry, even if it reawakens her dreams. Yet how can she resist the heroic captain? His compassion for others stirs her even as she tells herself that he deserves someone with more to offer than her with her tattered reputation. Harry quickly falls for Sarah’s quiet beauty and gentle soul, and he longs to claim her for his own. But when disaster strikes, can they cast aside their doubts to work together and claim a chance for happiness? Order your copy today!
