I destroy beautiful things, and she’s going to be my masterpiece. Every touch. Every breath. Every moan. Until she can’t remember her own name. Because she’ll be too busy screaming mine.

Book Description
Distributed by the University of Nebraska Press for Caxton Press In autumn 1805, a group of ragged strangers staggered into a camp of Nez Perce Indians on the Kooskooskee River in what is now northern Idaho. The natives discussed killing the starving newcomers and taking the treasures they carried. Instead, they heeded an old woman who said, "Do them no harm!", marking the beginning of a unique friendship between the Nez Perce and the members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Book Description
A supernatural thriller set in ANTARCTICA A woman running from her magic. A man who’s given up. Mutant culture colonies. A doomed ship. After violent, out of control magic killed her sister and drove her father mad, Kayna Quan ran as far and as fast as she could from the mixture of Chinese and Celtic power boiling through her blood. Fresh out of residency, she opts for a tour in Antarctica. Money is short, so she hires on as medical officer aboard a Russian research vessel headed for McMurdo Station. Brynn McMichaels’ stint on remote South Georgia Island is a fancy, probably overplayed, escape from a crappy breakup. He may have left an irate woman behind, but he could have picked somewhere closer to get away. When cultures of the single-celled organism, archaea, begin shifting into another form, overgrowing the bins in his lab, he’s convinced the isolation got to him until a call from an old buddy at McMurdo reveals a similar phenomenon. Intrigued, Brynn agrees to lend a hand. The weather’s too uncertain to send a plane, so he hitches a ride aboard Kayna’s ship, bringing his mutant culture colonies with him. And that’s only the beginning… PRAISE FOR ICY PASSAGE: With a seamless blend of science and the paranormal, this book captivates you right from the start. 5-stars!

Society often imposes unrealistic standards of beauty, success, and behavior on women, but it's crucial to recognize that self-worth does not come from external validation. A young woman must learn to appreciate her uniqueness, talents, and inner qualities rather than comparing herself to others. Confidence in who she is, and not what others expect her to be, is essential for navigating life’s challenges. Emotional Intelligence and Mental Health Emotional intelligence—understanding and managing emotions—is key to a young woman’s personal and professional life. Recognizing her feelings, handling stress, and empathizing with others will improve relationships and decision-making. Equally important is knowing when to seek help for mental health issues like anxiety or depression. A young lady must understand that prioritizing her mental health is not a sign of weakness, but an act of self-care that leads to long-term well-being. The Importance of Financial Independence Achieving financial independence is a vital skill for any young woman. Understanding basic financial literacy—how to budget, save, invest, and manage credit—is crucial to her empowerment and autonomy. Financial independence ensures that she can make decisions for her life based on her desires, goals, and values, rather than relying on others for financial support. A young lady should know how to build her financial security, as it gives her the freedom to pursue her dreams without limitations. Healthy Relationships Building healthy relationships, whether they are friendships, romantic partnerships, or family connections, is crucial for a young woman’s emotional well-being. A young lady must learn to set boundaries, communicate effectively, and recognize the signs of a healthy versus toxic relationship. Respect, trust, and equality should be the foundation of all her relationships. Knowing when to walk away from toxic or abusive situations is a sign of strength, and no one should tolerate disrespect or mistreatment. The Value of Education and Lifelong Learning Education is a powerful tool that opens doors to personal and professional opportunities. A young lady should know the importance of continuous learning, not only in formal education but also through personal development. Whether it's pursuing higher education, developing new skills, or staying curious about the world, lifelong learning equips her to adapt to changing circumstances and seize opportunities. Education builds confidence, independence, and opens up pathways to success.

Book Description
Pinkerton agents Jane Turner and Philip Beaumont have just finished another difficult assignment abroad; now the office is sending them to Germany. Their job: to find the assassin who almost succeeded in killing Adolf Hitler when he was in Berlin. Their first surprise is a pleasant one---the Nazi big shot assigned to be their guide, Ernst (Putzi) Hanfstaengl, is a huge, jovial man who amazes his guests immediately; his English is almost without any accent! Hanfstaengl has learned American ways during his student days at Harvard. He is a talented pianist and as friendly as a puppy. Jane and Phil have no reason to think his fellow Nazis are not just as personable. This isn't going to be so bad. Everything starts to go downhill after that, however, although a handsome Nazi almost turns Jane's head with his attentions. Their job becomes a questionable one as the agents see more and more of the new party's dreadful face. A woman who gives them some information is found murdered. There are other deaths, all clearly connected to the Nazi Party. By the time Jane and Phil meet Hitler, they are not only horrified and puzzled about why the Pinkerton agency accepted the job, they are very aware that they are in danger themselves. Walter Satterthwait has uncannily taken his readers to the Germany of 1923, introducing them to characters from the actual front pages of the period's newspapers---Hanfstaengl, Rudolf Hess, and many others. As in the previous two books of this series, the crimes that Turner and Beaumont encounter are committed against a genuinely historical background. It all adds up to a suspenseful story of two likable people at risk in the treacherous atmosphere of Germany's postwar nightmare.
