  Devonshire, England, 1820 
   
   
   
  Determined to avoid the strife-filled marriage of his parents, Marcus, the Duke of Ulvercombe, wants an amenable, biddable wife, and has set his cap for a certain pretty miss. Unfortunately, her vastly opinionated, frustrating, and lamentably beautiful guardian, Lady Clara Tinniswood, keeps distracting him, tempting him to consider a far more tempestuous—and passionate—union. 
   
   
   
  Recently widowed Lady Clara Tinniswood wants only to organize a quiet new life for herself, beyond the control of any man. But one shockingly unguarded moment while confronted by Marcus's gloriously naked body catapults her headlong into a forbidden passion and threatens to undermine all her well-laid plans. 
   
   
   
  Even if Marcus abandons his sweet ideal and surrenders to his growing desire for Clara, there's one unalterable issue which could destroy their hopes forever . . . 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  The Original Human Beings

  What if one orphaned Latina's truth could shift everything, we think we know about who on earth matters—and why? 
  A girl the world forgot. 
  A truth no one saw coming. 
  A story that might change us all. 
  The world treated her as necessary collateral damage. 
  She answered with music-a response of rediscovering humanity. 
  In a world growing numb to cruelty. The original human Beings tell the inspirational story of a girl named Never- a Honduran orphan who escapes living in a Central American city dump and journeys north with a cello on her back. She is fighting to simply stay alive. 
  She alone could protect her hilarious little brother, Homero. She searched for a hero - but found a dreamy Nez Perce young man, the most athletic person she had ever seen, who helped her realize the hero was staring back at her in the mirror. 
  It is a romance as scandalous as it is soulful, with no promise of happily ever after - only truth.  She found refuge in Loco Lucy, the garbage dumps’ foul-mouthed, delightfully deranged, vampire-dressing matriarch. 
  She was hunted by General Alejandro Mendoza-El Caudillo-a ruthless crime Lord who misbelieved he was her father and would burn down the world to control her. 
  And she was stalked by Alonzo Gomez, a seven-foot hitman with a French accent, a loaded pistol, and a soul darker than midnight - until she made him believe in something more dangerous. 
  It is a high concept saga infused with magical realism. 
  It echoes with mythic power of new approach to Voltaire's Candide meets Cervantes Don Quixote's man of La Mancha. 
  This is how we remember what truly matters. This is how we broken walk out of the monster. 
  "The title —The Original Humans —got me. I had to discover the world Tim White was talking about. Brace yourselves, the ride is harrowing yet hopeful."   - Yareli Arizmendi 
  “A masterpiece from one of the best storytellers on the planet.”  - Jodi Garza CEO, flyalaskaseaplanes.com

  How To Burn This Book

  Step one of burning a book is finding a disagreeable premise within. To simplify this process, each story is followed by a reason it should be immolated, opined by the author’s critics. 
  "Lucky Girl Noir" is about a cop solving the murder of a ‘Lucky Girl,’ a woman born with probability consistently in her favor. Burning this story would be a win against plagiarism. 
  "Three Days West" is an acid-Western about cowboys exploiting their otherworldly connection in frontier Colorado. This story deserves burning for ruining pulp heroes. 
  "Zantar" is Tarzan with aliens and raccoons. Burning seems appropriate, as it continues the author’s insatiable bloodlust. 
  "Sea Creatures" is a sapphic love story between a siren and a mermaid. The story deserves burning for suggesting bras are an art form. 
  "Lizard People Take Orlando" tells the story of Zaffre Davis, a student running for mayor while keeping his life as a scalie secret. Burning should be considered due to its depictions of furries as Democrats. 
  "The Spirit Realm" is about the survivor of a mass poisoning who wakes up to find he can talk to alcohol. No character represents absinthe, a crime best punished by burning. 
  "The Pimp That Slapped the Ripper" is about the fall of Jack the Ripper at the hands of a procurer who will protect her property at any cost. The author’s softness has robbed the story of graphic detail; their omission begets burning. 
  "Washed" is the story of a man who loses his memory when he showers. Burn this one to eliminate the author’s ugly past. 
  "An American Weekend" is about a boy visited by the human embodiments of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, who guide him out of his funk. Turn it to ashes; this interpretation of the weekend reeks of privilege. 
  "Roadwork" is about a lemurtologist, an exorcist for the DMV who removes ghosts from road accidents. Tossing this story in the fire could wound a hateful author, smudging the name of the DMV.
