  "Once I complete the wings, and you conquer the labyrinth, we'll be free." 
  Noblewoman & Inventor 
  In Rialto, a city ruled by money and powered by magical thread, noblewoman Imelda Albizzi has long toiled to invent human flight. She’s spent years stitching wings with the enchanted corincanto and finally she’s on the cusp of success. 
  But her cousin, Rialto’s ruthless leader, threatens her future by betrothing her to a greedy foreign king. If she can sell the wings to her cousin’s political rival before the wedding, she’ll free herself to live as she wishes and marry who she wants. 
  Super Soldier & Heretic 
  Anselmo Errari, the man she loves, hides a secret—corincanto runs through his veins, endowing him with superhuman strength. If revealed, the priests will torture and execute him as a heretic. He’s the strongest soldier in the military, but his lowborn birth forbids him from marrying Imelda. 
  For years, he’s attempted to carve his way from poverty to nobility, and now he's desperate for one last gamble to join the upper classes: entering the deadly minotaur labyrinth, where he will prove himself worthy or die trying.

  Uncle Abraham's Romance - From...

  Edith Nesbit

  Edith Nesbit was born on the 15th August 1858 in Kennington, then part of Surrey.   
  Due to the health issues and tuberculosis of her sister Mary, Nesbit’s early life was one of constant changes of house both in England and on the continent. 
  At age 17, Nesbit met Hubert Bland and they married three years later―whilst she was 7 months pregnant.  Bland also kept his affair with another woman going throughout their marriage and the two children of that relationship were raised by Nesbit as well as her own three with Bland. 
  Together they were founder members of the Fabian Society in 1884 naming their son Fabian in its honour.  They also edited the Society's journal; ‘Today’.  Nesbit was an active lecturer and prolific writer on socialism during those years but gradually her work for them dwindled as her career as a children’s writer grew.  Her most famous success was ‘The Railway Children’ but she was also very prolific and greatly accomplished in poetry, short stories―especially her macabre ghost and supernatural stories―and novels for adults.  
  In February 1917, some three years after the death of Bland she married Thomas ‘the Skipper’ Tucker in Woolwich, where he was a ship's engineer on the Woolwich Ferry. 
  Edith Nesbit died from lung cancer on the 4th May 1924 at her house ‘The Long Boat’ at Jesson, St Mary's Bay, New Romney in Kent.  She was 65.

  All Cats Are Gray by Andre Norton is a haunting and imaginative science fiction novella from the 1950s that delves into the mysteries of space and the power of perception. Follow the enigmatic Steena, her loyal cat Bat, and down-on-his-luck spacer Cliff Moran as they investigate the ghostly derelict spaceship Empress of Mars. Steena’s colorblindness—seeing only in shades of gray—proves to be the key to unlocking secrets invisible to others. With themes of isolation, intuition, and the unexpected strength found in companionship, this classic tale explores how unseen truths can shape destiny and how even the most overlooked individuals can become heroes in the vast unknown of space.

  When life gives you lemons… Throw them out. It’s too much damn work to make lemonade… 
  	  
  When a member must leave the Tri-State Federal Drug Task Force, Colin Crew, as leader, doesn’t get to pick a replacement. Instead, he’s assigned one. One he’s not happy about. 
  	  
  Not only because the woman only has a year on the job as a DEA agent, but she’s also younger than he’d like. Add in the fact he worked with her father in the past. A man who now holds a high-level position within the agency and, with one wrong move on his part, could easily crush Crew’s long-established career within his fist. 
  	  
  Even worse, she’s a challenge. With her smart mouth, she can give him a run for his money when it comes to busting balls. 
  	  
  He needs to tread lightly while still maintaining control of his team. Unfortunately, that’s difficult to do since Camila Cabrera is every man’s fantasy. 
  	  
  All right, maybe not everyone’s, but his for sure. 
  	  
  And that’s the biggest problem of all. 
  	  
  Note: Beyond the Badge: Crew is the fifth book in the Blue Avengers MC series. It’s HIGHLY recommended to read this six-book action/adventure series in order due to the continuing story arcs (subplots). However, each book focuses on a different couple who gets their HEA. This series has no cheating or relationship cliffhangers.

  “The suspense is monumental, the story never slows down, and it has that magic gift of blurring the lines of the seemingly impossible with something that almost feels like it could be based on absolute truth (AKA, The Da Vinci Code).” ~ Feathered Quill Book Reviews, Amy Lignor, TRUE HIGH-FIVE
