    The Science of Getting Rich is the classic guide to creating wealth through the Law of Attraction. First published in 1910, a hundred years later it inspired Rhonda Byrne's bestselling book and movie, The Secret. According to Wallace D. Wattles, "There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches; once these laws are learned and obeyed by any man, he will get rich with mathematical certainty."

    I never claimed to be an angel—but I sure as hell wasn't meant to fall this hard. Three dangerous souls hold the shattered pieces of my heart. 
     
    One makes me feel safe. 
    One sets my soul on fire. 
    One strips away every ounce of control. 
     
    And me? I was never meant to have any of them. Love is a weapon, and I've learned the hard way to never lower my guard. You bury the past. You never let them see you bleed. But when my past comes hunting, I'm forced back to the one place I swore I'd never return—Haven University. 
     
    Now I'm trapped between three people I should run from . . . and the secrets that could destroy us all. Because, the Raiders don't forget. They don't forgive. And the blood on my hands? It's come back to collect.

    ADAM & EVE – Psychedelic Promise 1965 London 
    Book 1: The Summer of Colour 
    This first book of six is summarized as follows: 
    In the summer of 1965, shy, artistic Adam meets bold, free-spirited Eve at a Soho music club. Drawn together by their shared love of art and music, they explore London’s vibrant counterculture, from Carnaby Street’s mod fashion to underground jazz clubs. Eve introduces Adam to her eclectic friends, including a beat poet and a feminist activist, opening his eyes to a world of rebellion and creativity. At a secret psychedelic art exhibition, they experience the mind-bending thrill of first love and self-discovery. As the summer ends, they promise to face the future together, despite the looming pressures of family expectations and societal norms. The Summer of Colour captures the magic of youth, the freedom of the 1960s, and the beginning of a transformative journey for Adam and Eve. 
    This is the first of six audiobooks in the series and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment. 
    I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 1/2 minutes, called Electric Pulse, and prepares you for the start, synthesizer, bass and cymbals in a soul/funk form. The closing music, called Full Motion, ends the tale on a darker tone and at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments, genre and industrial/fearful mood but with more caution added. 
    The story itself runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice. 
    I do hope you and your family, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
