A week-long fling with a bad-boy billionaire gives one woman the courage to love another person completely—no holds barred . . . Drake Morganthal. Billionaire playboy. He’s ruthless in business and in bed. He’ll sleep with you, rip your heart out, and never commit. He’ll charm you, seduce you, and set your world on fire. He’ll make you feel as if you’re his woman, then claim you’re only friends. Friends, as in call once in a while. Not friends with the potential of more. Drake doesn’t do more. He’s the exact type of man Livvie needs to stay away from, especially with her destructive pattern of dating narcissistic men who refuse to be monogamous. Until fate forces them to meet . . . Livvie wins a one-week stay at Morganthal Winery, owned by Drake Morganthal. She doubts she’ll see him. And even if she does, there’s no way he’ll give a random raffle winner the time of day. But she’s wrong. From the moment they lock eyes, their chemistry is so intense, Drake has to have her. He makes his motives very clear. Between his delicious wines and his gorgeous body, which she craves like a drug, Livvie has to decide if she’ll spend the week in his vineyard and his bed, or if she’s strong enough to turn away a man as addictive as Drake Morganthal.

MY PEOPLE and other crime stories by Liza Cody Pdf

MY PEOPLE and other crime stories is Liza Cody's collection of innovative and cutting edge short stories written between 2003 and 2021. Two have never been previously published in English. This prize-winning author is known for her outspoken yet subtle invocations of all aspects and consequences of violence and betrayal. Cody was one of the first writers to put women at the centre of private detective novels and short stories. Book Review 1: "Cody is a storyteller... Reading her is refreshing after the bravado... of the American style." "Cody’s dialogue is always funny and full of purpose, and here she’s found her perfect protagonista creative mangler of platitudes and uncontrollable shredder of pomp and hypocrisy," and "Great dialogue as ever and some gorgeous imagery. It all added up to a book I'm sorry to close." (About LADY BAG.) -- Newgate Callendar, New York Times Book Review; Mat Coward, The Morning Star; Peter Lovesey, MWA Grandmaster Book Review 2: "Eva is a wondrous creation – an incorrigible innocent in a story that crackles with energy. Super Cody." "It's like a rock-and-roll version of Pilgrim's Progress. Eva is rude, crude, funny, touching and perhaps the boldest creation to land in recent crime fiction." (About BUCKET NUT.) -- Kirkus Reviews; The Philadelphia Inquirer Book Review 3: "Give me more books like Gimme More." "Probably the greatest rock'n'roll novel ever."
