Summary

She - A History of Adventure is a classic of imaginative literature and one of the best-selling books of all time. "She" was extraordinarily popular upon its release and has never been out of print. The story is a first-person narrative that follows the journey of Horace Holly and his ward Leo Vincey to a lost kingdom in the African interior. There they encounter a primitive race of natives and a mysterious white queen named Ayesha who reigns as the all-powerful "She", or "She-who-must-be-obeyed". In this work, Rider Haggard developed the conventions of the Lost World subgenre, which many later authors emulated.  Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a pioneer of the Lost World literary genre.

    And even though I promised to let her go, I realize that I can't. She's mine now, and I'm keeping her. 
To say I had a rough start in life would be the understatement of the century. 
My uncle may have rescued me from my abusive childhood, but he couldn't save me from the neurotic and compulsive obsessions I would develop in my adulthood. 
I deal with some of the worst criminals in the seedy underbelly of the world just to get what I want. What I need. 
And what I need is the perfect woman. Perfect and pure in every way possible. And I'm willing to obtain that perfection...no matter the cost. 
So when I make my newest purchase, I expect Adeline's fate to be like all the others before her—taking what I want and then never seeing her again. 
But she's different. 
Her beauty is disarming. 
And even though I promised to let her go after I took what I wanted...I slowly come to the realization that I can't. 
I have to break my promise to her, because she's mine now. 
And I'm keeping her. 
Keeping Her is book one of the two-book dark romance Keep Me series and ends with a cliff-hanger. It contains adult content for mature listeners. 
Saving Him, book two of the Keep Me series, is now available on Amazon!
