August Summer thinks she is a nobody until a London solicitor barges into her employer's drawing room, revealing not only is she the daughter of an earl but a wealthy heiress as well. Optimistic about a new life, she travels to her ancestral home of Linfield Hall, only for her brother to banish her to London to live with her aunt, a dowager duchess with a reputation.

But as August navigates her way through this new world of the British aristocracy, Brooks is the one who is most dazzled by her unexpected charms.
Since society demands every young girl must marry, August decides she will accept nothing less than someone's heart in exchange for possession of her newfound fortune. Forced to reexamine his negative views of love and marriage or lose August forever, Brooks soon realizes his heart is the only thing in danger of becoming possessed.

Adrenaline junkie and explosives specialist Kinsley Switch Morales had a chip on her shoulder long before being caught in what she suspects is some sort of intergalactic human-trafficking ring. Aliens not only exist, their reptilian bodies are stronger, their honed reflexes faster, and their shiny scales nearly impenetrable. But nothing will curb Kinsley's resolve to commandeer their spaceship and return home to Earth-even if that means crawling behind enemy lines and cozying up to their uncompromising captain.
When Raveno Hoviir catches Kinsley outside her cell, wreaking havoc in his control room, he sees more than just her strength, resolve, and courage. He sees a golden opportunity to finally root out the traitor under his command and prove his brother's loyalty before the coming revolution. After so many years undercover, Raveno is finally one mission away from saving his planet from its tyrannical ruler. He's sacrificed everything to protect his people-his love life, his anonymity, his left leg-but in his efforts to right his father's wrongs, has he inadvertently become the very monster he plans to overthrow?
As Kinsley and Raveno each attempt to exploit the other, they find more than just leverage for their separate missions. Inexplicably, they find common ground in their mutual devotion to family and service. Kinsley knows all too well the grief and guilt of making the wrong decision in the field, but will Raveno keep his word to send her home if she flips loyalties? Is Raveno's softening heart compromising his judgment, or is Kinsley's intelligence accurate? Separating truth from lies is impossible in the game of spies. Seeing beyond their surface differences and trusting in love again may be the only way to save both their people-and each other.

...admire the good humor and gusto with which Walsh narrates his rocky path through the entertainment world. - Publishers Weekly
Joseph Walsh wrote the best gambling movie ever, California Split, and now he's out with a spectacularly entertaining Hollywood memoir... - Ben Mankiewicz, Film critic/ host of TCM
Walsh's wonderfully funny memoir of showbiz, gambling and the Hollywood elite, is one exciting roller coaster ride - whether dealing with hostile bookmakers looking to break legs - disastrous theatrical auditions - or a harrowing, near-death encounter with a bottle-slashing thug. From New York's #1 child star in early TV, to 'has-been' by 18, back to 'Hollywood somebody', this true-life adventure will keep you smiling, then holding your breath, then laughing out loud.
Undaunted by a fading career, Walsh's love of 'action' would intensify, giving rise to the obsessional belief that he was the greatest football handicapper known to man. Tapping his childhood friend, Elliott Gould, for his last 60 bucks, they would go on to destroy their first bookmaker for thousands, on a once-in-a-lifetime winning streak. Little did Walsh know it would lead him to the brink of death, and into 'escape from New York' mode. Arriving in Hollywood with hopes of cashing in on earlier fame, he quickly discovered Tinseltown had no interest in the kid who had starred with Danny Kaye in Hans Christian Andersen and Kirk Douglas in The Juggler.
Hanging tough, this never-say-die street kid would go on to eventually shine again - working with such notables as Steven Spielberg, Robert Altman, Elliott Gould, George Segal, Jack Nicholson, Robert Mitchum, Frank Sinatra, Gregory Peck, including memorable encounters with John Huston and Elvis Presley.
His destiny would be fulfilled when he turned his life experiences into the gambling film classic California Split. Anyone looking for an awesome comeback story, guided by grit and grace, is in for a real treat!
Quite a life. It's laugh-out-loud funny, riveting and just so damn good I was sorry it came to an end.
Alan Ladd, Jr. / Former President of 20th Century Fox Pictures and Chairman & CEO of MGM Pictures, Academy Award
Winning Producer of Braveheart & Chariots of Fire.
It's extremely entertaining. Walsh has led an incredible life.
