  As Pan American World Airways teetered on bankruptcy, could the shah of Iran provide the capital to restore it to solvency? Or would his financial bailout endanger the lives of Pan Am's executives because a religious revolution is brewing? The Plum Thief is the turbulent story of activists who forged a new government in the 1970s by battling Western businessmen in their efforts to topple the shah of Iran. Told from the little guy's point of view, here's a tale of indoctrination, as characters in The Plum Thief perform increasingly violent historic events, where heady success is achieved only through peril and risk of death. It's the story of secret police, clerics with weapons, oil bureaucrats, and the US Congress. It poses the lingering question: Can the rules of faith serve as the rules of law? The Plum Thief reveals author James Roman's personal involvement with Iran's religious revolution, also including such recognizable names as Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Ayatollah Khomeini, and more. Here is historic fact, disclosing how Iran, once America's steadfast ally, evolved in this new world order.

  This book is the beginning of my story. If you are reading this, you are either my son or grandson. I hope doing good will be your mission, as it was mine. I lived an entire life with family, true friends, and adventures beyond anything I imagined. I fought in two wars, worked two primary careers, and created wealth to be used to do good. The wealth you will learn about and experience as you turn evil to good. Evil comes from anywhere, anytime. It never sleeps, rests, or needs time off. Many shapes, sizes, personalities, and shades of beauty carry evil.  
  Evil roams through countries, territories, states, counties, cities, large and small towns through people wanting chaos, creating fear and destruction. Countries fight battles to win treasures, land, people, ideas, resources, and freedom or cause despair. Evil disguises itself as fighting for good as it tears good apart. If you stand on the sidelines of life and watch evil overwhelm others, are you assisting the spread of evil? What can I do? I have fought evil most of my life from the shadows. Why is it so hard sometimes to have a life? I have combated evil by attempting to help all I encounter to obtain and maintain what they truly desire in life. Evil manifests by blocking what people need, want, and desire or providing paths leading to destruction, pain, death, or the opposite of what you should do. My philosophy is to unblock seemingly impossible pathways and free people to obtain their destiny by providing help to stay on the paths they were born to follow. Freedom started once I understood how to combat evil with good. While alive, this book is only for you. Your designated heir may read this book, and I hope you will write a book or two. There are secrets in this and a few other books, and I trust you to read them and keep their secrets undisclosed and safe. Enjoy the hope in others and the future. Jedediah Justin Davis, Sr.

  In the wake of the October 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, a young noblewoman in the Russian Empire makes the bold decision to stay behind, while her family scatters across the globe. Her brother flees with the White Russian emigration to New York, while her mother and sister escape to Poland. Strangely, her brother leads his American family to believe that his sister, along with her husband and daughter, vanished during the Russian Civil War (1917–1922) and are presumed dead. But this is far from the truth.
  
  Although his other sister's life in Poland, marked by tragedy during World War II, is well known, the fate of his sister in Russia remains a secret. In reality, he has secretly maintained contact with her, even sending financial support. Her story is one of immense suffering and resilience, enduring exile to Siberia and eight years in a brutal Gulag, branded as a "former person," a Soviet term for those of noble birth and supporters of the old regime.
  
  This is a poignant saga of loss, survival, and astonishing strength in the face of unimaginable adversity.

  In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn’t know what’s hit it… 
   
  While Charity Shackleford might be considered far more outspoken than her twin sister Chastity, she was much less inclined to make a complete cake of herself. Something her twin appeared to be doing with increasing regularity. 
   
  Indeed, when details of Chastity’s latest faux pas threatened to travel beyond the confines of Blackmore, it appeared that removing her from the vicinity was the only answer. Naturally, as always, Grace, the eldest daughter and current Duchess of Blackmore was tasked with picking up the pieces. 
   
  Unfortunately, just as she was about to inform their father of her intention to take Chastity for a short holiday to their sister Faith in Torquay, the Reverend was unexpectedly called upon to attend his curate’s sadly dying mother. Firmly of the opinion that their father could not be trusted to stay out of mischief long enough to give anybody the last rites, Grace instructed Charity to accompany him. 
   
  On reaching the trading port of Dartmouth, Charity quickly learned that nothing was as it seemed. Indeed, she discovered her sister’s worst fears were well founded as she, her father and Percy found themself embroiled in a long-standing conspiracy involving smuggling and murder. 
   
  Only the arrival of the mysterious Jago Carlyon stood between them and the infamous leader of the Hope Cove smuggling ring. Struggling to fight her undeniable attraction to the handsome Cornishman, Charity had to decide whether he could be trusted with her heart, or more importantly her life. 
   
  Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humor and a little bit of steam...
