A MAN WITHOUT AN IDENTITY

When his sister flees from an angry mob boss who wants to stop her from testifying, Davin Doyle realizes that he’s the one Boss O’Malley will come for next. Caught between the police and the Irish mob, Davin hops on a train to Wyoming, where he thinks he’ll find his sister.

With O’Malley’s lieutenant on his trail, Davin is forced to jump from the still-moving train. He survives the fall, but when he wakes up, he can’t remember who he was or where he was going.

His only piece of luck—he’s been found by a pair of traveling missionaries and their beautiful niece.

A WOMAN ABANDONED BY HER BETROTHED

After her lawman suitor stops writing, Amelia doesn’t know if he’s lost interest or lost his life. She travels west with her aunt and uncle, who are on their way to Wyoming to take over the operation of an orphanage.

Amelia soon finds that the frontier is a dreary place…until they rescue a handsome but mysterious man who can’t remember where he’s from or why he jumped from a speeding train.

But when she arrives in Cheyenne, Amelia learns that her would-be suitor is in jail on charges of corruption—she’s left stranded in Wyoming without prospects.

CHILDREN WITHOUT A CHAMPION

Davin wants more than anything to court Amelia. But his new boss at the saloon forces him to choose between keeping Amelia safe and standing up to a nefarious gang of criminals who are preying on children from a nearby orphanage.

He still doesn’t remember the man he used to be—but Davin must now choose what kind of man he will become.

Will he find a way to protect these victimized children without losing the woman he loves?

Just a Girl: Amelia’s Frontier Adventure is a clean, inspirational mail order bride romance. While this book is part of a series, it can definitely be read as a standalone book.

Lily Russell thinks she can dance at London’s prestigious Royal Ballet. She also thinks she can single-handedly bring about world peace. Her friends know she’s delusional; her former bosses think she’s unreliable. The only person who seems to believe in her is her jealous ex-lover, Jeremy, and he’s shiftless and violent and doesn’t seem to understand the concept of “ex.” That doesn’t stop her from dreaming; dreams make life an adventure. But when she meets Edmund, a boxer who seems to genuinely care for her and who steadies her thinking, she starts to realize that her ordinary life might be enough of an adventure for her.

She expects a scene when Jeremy finds out about her new boyfriend, but she never could’ve expected the shocking crime that shakes her to the core. Now the police want her for questioning. The men in her life say they want to help her but can she trust them? Soon it becomes apparent the police think she committed the crime, and, her feeble grip on reality fading fast, she’s not entirely sure she didn’t.

Offering hope and healing, the author retraces her beautiful transformation from suicidal despair to habitual happiness, sprinkling each step with soul-stirring original poetry and journal excerpts.

For decades, she hid her chronic depression from everyone, including herself, until hitting a crisis point. She seemed successful and happy to all, except her closest confidantes; they knew the anguish she wished to end by killing herself. Through self-exploration, she found a pathway to conquer the pain.

In From the Shadows, she shares the questions she confronted, unearths her root causes, and presents a map out of the mire. Finally, she unlocks inner wealth by facing phantoms holding long forgotten keys to her past.

Joining in her journey, you may uncover a few treasures of your own.

Whirlpool of pain, despair I share
For your own gain, I bring you there.

Sucked me down, but will lift you up -
The gifts uncovered, when unstuck.

Maelstrom drew me time and again;
Me, myself, and I weren't as friend.

A shadow plagued my destiny,
Before sunlit divinity.

Hear my story,treasure I found,
As it unfolds, soul almost drowned.

Reveal my grief, the guilt, and shame,
Unwinding as I blend my name.

Listen as I share of rebirth -
Meaning and passion's soulful mirth.

Lure you in, then lighten your load;
A wealth inside worth more than gold.

Precious self-love and purpose too,
Join in this journey to renew.

A killer stalks the streets of a near-future Tokyo on the brink. The cascade of events unleashed by the slayings threatens to drag under three people on opposite sides of the law.

There’s Vasili, the ruthless yakuza boss desperately trying to conceal a secret so explosive it could tear the underworld apart. Will he succeed, or will the vast criminal machine he has built finally spin out of his control?
Satoshi, the street soldier forced by Vasili to bring in his former best friend for a fate worse than death. He’ll have to decide whether his loyalty lies with his friend or his unyielding boss, before time runs out for both of them.
And Mei, the honest cop tasked with catching the killer, only to find herself pulled under Vasili’s influence. Caught between a corrupt police force and a gangster determined to lead her astray at every turn, she’ll have to outwit both sides if she’s to stop the killer before he strikes again.

Three desperate people who will have to break all their own rules just to stay alive. And even that may not be enough.

Love brought them together. The world tried to tear them apart. But a Bear won’t be denied…

I’ve tried to fight it. The passion, the danger, the raw sexual attraction—it is all wrong for me to feel this way about an unavailable man. But I can’t help myself. The Christmas season is about giving and receiving, not taking. This is so not like me to feel this way, but when I’m around Tony I just can’t help myself. The very fact that he is here right now… it has to be fate… right?

The past year has been so hard. I lost a promising career that was just taking off, blackballed from the industry so no one will hire me, and I was infected with the bear shifter curse.

And sweet Derek, helping me through it all has been wonderful, and of course, I know he would like to be much more than friends… but I've never seen him that way really. But I'm so glad he invited me and my one-year-old son, Devon to vacation with his family at a beautiful ski resort for Christmas.

I tried to keep my feelings bottled up, but the flirty glances, the sweet conversations, and the way Tony looks at me when no one else is around makes it so hard…but he is with Beth, Derek’s sister. It’s so wrong.

And now someone at the lodge has been murdered. By what appears to be some sort of vicious animal… in a house full of bear shifters, I have to wonder. Could my baby and I be living with a murderer? And is the man I’m falling in love with who I think he is?

I am so glad that I was able to read this one. The mind is such a powerful thing. The short stories keep you wanting to read more. Reading the author's own personal story put a lot in perspective for me.

It has given me different ways of thinking and I am sure I will be using this information for a long time to come.

I was inspired by his words. He has a unique way of writing and you feel like being in the middle of a conversation and not reading a book. That is a good thing. This is an excellent self-help book, very uplifting and reminds you to take a little of everyday to enjoy life.

This is a great book! Points you to the important things in life and gives you an easy step by step guide to easily make significant changes to your life and to increase your happiness. I read it from beginning to end over half of the night and just couldn't stop reading until I finished it. Warm heartedly recommended.

This book is just wonderful. Not only that it is both interesting and fun to read, it also makes you think: Can you live a happier life? The book is well written, easy to read, and so fluent, that I couldn't stop reading. I highly recommend reading this book. You will enjoy the reading, it will make you think, but above all, it will make you feel better. Highly recommended!

A must read book ! We all deserve to live happier life and Dr. Gilkis is providing excellent tips based on his life experience and great observations on how practically achieve this essential goal. The book is fluent , fun to read and his great tips are easy to adopt .highly recommended !

I really enjoyed this book. It was not a lengthy read, and it went relatively quickly once I started. It is not the easiest read at times, since it presents some very in depth information on the brain and how it works. I am fascinated with brain studies and the process of how things work, including the mechanics of the mind and its effect on our long term thinking and feelings. It is truly amazing to me how much of our behavior, beliefs, and more are influenced by our mind. And the author did a great job of explaining it to the reader.

I found the author’s personal story to be touching and I am impressed that he was able to overcome as much as he did. But on top of all of that, it was very inspiring to me to see how he took everything he learned and let it influence his entire life. He made a comment early in the book when telling his story about how he was always pushing himself to do more, achieve more, and succeed in everything and he neglected his personal health. It wasn’t until he was diagnosed with an advance stage of cancer that he rethought his entire life and his actions and thoughts changed. Talk about a testimony! And it is one of great power, truly amazing and inspiring to read.

This is a great self-help book for anyone needing to slow down and take some time to reflect on life and what is going on around them. So many of us live a life that is fast paced, hectic, and go go go, and we forget to stop and enjoy life and just be in the moment. We live in a fast-food mentality

Intrigued by Kate’s gentle yet loyal ways, he begins to fall in love with her. But tensions rise as he refuses to put up with David’s rage. As Kate’s heart begins to stir and cry out for happiness, she must rely on faith to find forgiveness or risk losing out on love.
