She's off-limits. Inappropriate. A tease, a brat, a scandal waiting to happen, and a royal pain in my ass.Oh, and she's one more thing too: all mine....She just doesn't know it yet. I have a problem. A five-foot-five, brown-haired, green-eyed little tease of a problem. A problem that's lived under my roof ever since I took her in as if she were my own years ago. Lola. Princess Lola, that is. Lola with the fiery sass, the softest lips, the sweetest skin, and the most temping curves these rough hands have ever wanted to grab ahold of. I'm her guardian - the man who took care of her and raised her up. But my eyes have started lingering longer than they should. My thoughts have turned darker, and there's no turning back. See, I want the little Princess to be my little Princess. I want her laid out dressed in nothing but jewels and a smile - a present waiting for me to unwrap and claim. The world will say this is so f*cking wrong. They'll say I'm more than twice her age. They'll say a rough, hardened, ex-soldier like myself has no business being with her. They'll say a lot to try and keep us apart. ...They can all go to hell. Because whatever my Lola wants, she'll get. And she's about to get every inch of what she wants. ...But only if she says please. Are you sitting on your throne? Got your tiara and jewels ready? Good, you're going to need them. Get ready for that kind of book. You know what I'm talking about ;). Wild, out of control, and pure dirty fantasy at it's finest. Packed with insta-love, kindle-melting steam, and one very dominant alpha. As with all my books, this one is safe, with no cheating, and a HEA guaranteed.

Jo McDougall brings a poet's sensibility to memoir. Recounting five generations of Delta rice farmers, through family archives and oral histories, she traces how the clan made their way into the fabric of America, beginning with her Belgian-immigrant grandfather, a pioneer rice farmer on the Arkansas Delta at the turn of the twentieth century. As John Grisham has for a 1950s Arkansas cotton farm, McDougall illuminates an Arkansas rice farm in the 1930s and 1940s. The Garot family's acreage near DeWitt and the town itself provide the stage for McDougall's wry, compelling, and layered account of the day-to-day of rice growing on the farm that her father inherited. In that setting she discovers a rich "universe of words" in the Great Depression, comes of age during World War II, and finds her way alongside "that whole quirky, compelling cast of characters" that comprised her kin. In this conflicted, ironic, southern-but-universal account of betrayal, heartbreak, loss, and joy, "the vagaries and the grace" of the land join forces with the power of money as family bonds are both forged and dissolved. Deeply felt, unsentimental, and often humorous,Daddy's Money presents McDougall's life and the lives of her relatives in the way that all our lives are eventually framed-as stories. "When all else is lost," the author maintains, "the stories remain."

"Strange how change brings no change." Explosive satirical novel indicting the System and '40s and '50s number kings- the folks who bankrolled Black businesses, then turned them into "legal state lotteries."

The perfect lie. The deception that goes viral. The truth that should set them free…but instead, it threatens to kill. Rachel Lewis has it all. Being a business consultant, she has a long list of successes, but an even longer list of potential relationships that she’s never had. Until she meets Drake, a man with the perfect match for everything: a drowning business, a rock-solid work ethic, and unheard of talent. But just when she’s about to cross that line between business and pleasure, a life-or-death lie ruins it all…or so she thinks. Drake Hatcher left the nest years ago to start a business. This is what he tells people. Including his own family. But deep in the bowels of his childhood lies a painful memory that’s been locked away for decades. His brothers hate him. His folks miss him. Town elders know the real story. But when he comes home with a failed business and a broken heart, he meets Rachel, and suddenly things aren’t nearly as dire. Until he learns a secret, from Rachel’s best friend Kiley, that throws everything into a tailspin. And it’s all about to blow up in the town’s face…at the hands of a madman who’s been watching from behind the scenes…and knows the perfect time to strike.
