Deadly Betrayal by L. A. Dobbs Pdf

What If a Secret From Your Past Turned Deadly? Country music star January Winters knew the rise to fame would be hard, but she never thought it would be deadly. When a stalker's attempts go from creepy to lethal, even the fearlessly independent Jan gives into her producer's demands that they hire a bodyguard. But that was before she realized who would be guarding her body... A knee injury might have ruined his football career, but it didn't stop Dino Machiavelli from becoming the best bodyguard in Vegas. He can literally pick and choose his assignments--and he never picks guarding diva celebrities. At least not until his boss makes one assignment impossible for him to refuse and he finds himself too close for comfort with the one girl that ripped out his heart fifteen years ago. Just as Dino and Jan start to wonder if it may not be too late to rekindle old feelings, the stalker's actions escalate. It appears the threat may be closer to Jan than she ever imagined and now she has to wonder, just exactly who in her inner circle can she really trust? NOTE: This book was previous published with the same title under my pen name Lee Anne Jones.

Lethal Guardian by M. William Phelps Pdf

The complex true-crime story of a Connecticut lawyer who had her brother-in-law killed, by the New York Times bestselling author of Perfect Poison. On a cold spring night in 1994, passing motorists discovered the bullet-riddled body of Anson “Buzz” Clinton along an interstate's exit ramp in Connecticut. Buzz, a former exotic dancer, was married to Kim Carpenter, whose family believed he was an unfit guardian for Kim's daughter, Rebecca. Kim's parents had unsuccessfully sued for custody. Kim's sister, Beth Ann Carpenter—a bright, beautiful real-estate lawyer—became convinced that only Buzz's death would ensure Rebecca's safety. Investigating detectives soon uncovered a twisted trail of murder for hire, obsession, manipulation, and secrets that would tear more than one family apart. The aftermath of this brutal crime would set investigators and prosecutors on a long and twisted path strewn with lies, treachery, and deceit that would cross the Atlantic Ocean before finally bringing justice home. Praise for Lethal Guardian “An intense roller coaster of a crime story . . . complex, with a plethora of twists and turns worthy of any great detective mystery, and yet so well-laid out, so crisply written with such detail to character and place that it reads more like a novel than your standard nonfiction crime book.” —Steve Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Monster Includes sixteen pages of revealing photos

Lethal Love by Perri Forrest Pdf

I loved a man and I thought he loved me. So, his cheating-ass ways were a big surprise to me. Even more shocking, was who he risked it all for... somebody I never had a reason to believe, was a whore. But I blame me... Because I'm usually better about who's in my space, knowing that those in relationships, sometimes wear more than a single face. They wanted to tap dance on someone's heart. They probably should've thought long and hard about that part. So now because of what was done... it's only fair that I have me some fun. I guess now they need to be shown the error of their ways. To the point that they're asking to see better days. Cue the deep sigh... Now, in the middle of my storm, something new fell in my path. Something beautiful, something amazing... he came with a taste of something I've never had. There's absolutely no rushing, to the beat of love, present in my view... But once my mission is complete, who knows what my heart will want to do? The only disclaimer I'll offer is this... "You'll either love me or hate me by the end of this tale, but I operated off of one goal, only ... that was to prevail." Signed, Nova Skai Levine ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ - ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ - ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ SMALL SAMPLE: "Was that your first kill? I'm intrigued. I haven't seen you so much as break a sweat with any of this shit-unless, you did it in private-which I doubt. How does that happen?" "You strike me as the type that already knows the answer to that. Besides, even if I could answer it, I'm sure it's different for everybody." "Right. But I'm not interested in everybody. I'm interested in-" I turned to him. "Mr. Davis, have you ever been hurt so badly that your heart feels like it's going to burst out your chest? Have you ever been so filled with anger that you feel a thick layer of heat eclipse your entire form-head to toe? Maybe you have. Maybe you haven't. In my case, when it happens, I become another person. That person shows up... she's different. Remorseless, vengeful. Just like the perpetrators come and disrupt my life with no remorse, I come to theirs with the exact same energy." "Hmm..." he said in a voice softer than the one he usually spoke with. "I guess it's a lot safer on the softer side of you." He shrugged and held his gaze on me. I thought I saw a little bit of empathy there. "At the end of the day," he continued, "their loss was my gain." He started to laugh and something in me swelled. Why was laughter even a part of that moment? I felt mocked, played. It showed me in living color that he felt like the powerful one. Him being in power was already a pre-existing issue for me. And yes, he did have the upper hand. But laughing about it wasn't something that sat right with me. "I'm glad you find all of this funny." "And you don't?" "Actually, I don't. I don't think it's funny at all." "You've got heart. And not just heart; you got the balls of a man." "Like every one of y'all have balls. Tuh. That's debatable." "Whoa. Ouch." He reached for the door, finally ready to fetch a carrier for the money. "And on that note. I'll be right-"

Betrayal of Trust by Laurie Garrett Pdf

In this "meticulously researched" account (New York Times Book Review), a Pulitzer Prize-winning author examines the dangers of a failing public health system unequipped to handle large-scale global risks like a coronavirus pandemic. The New York Times bestselling author of The Coming Plague, Laurie Garrett takes on perhaps the most crucial global issue of our time in this eye-opening book. She asks: is our collective health in a state of decline? If so, how dire is this crisis and has the public health system itself contributed to it? Using riveting detail and finely-honed storytelling, exploring outbreaks around the world, Garrett exposes the underbelly of the world's globalization to find out if it can still be assumed that government can and will protect the people's health, or if that trust has been irrevocably broken. "A frightening vision of the future and a deeply unsettling one . . . a sober, scary book that not only limns the dangers posed by emerging diseases but also raises serious questions about two centuries' worth of Enlightenment beliefs in science and technology and progress." -- Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
