Summary

Claude Wheeler craves excitement, far more than he can ever find as a farmer's son. He encounters more at university, where the modern world beyond farm life offers new thrills and challenges, only to lose them as the farm calls him back. World War I offers him even more . . . but he may crave excitement more than life itself can allow. Wanting it as much as he does can't protect him from the consequences of personal bravado in an age of killing machines.

    This Ruthless Rustanov Plays to Win! 
    When social worker, Sam McKinley meets hockey player, Nikolai Rustanov, it’s fire at first sight—a fire Sam totally runs away from as quickly as her heels can carry her. All Sam has ever wanted is a nice, normal family with a nice, normal man. The arrogant Russian hockey player who claims he doesn’t believe in love right before he offers to “eat her for breakfast,” is about as far from that as a girl can get. But some fires just can’t be put out. 
    Soon after meeting Nikolai, Sam forms an unexpected bond with a tragically orphaned boy who turns out to be his nephew. And did we mention, Nikolai is ruthless? 
    Determined to acquire the beautiful social worker as a caretaker for his previously unknown ward and a conquest for his bed, Nikolai moves Sam and her useless dog into his mansion. 
    Sam is dead-set on running, but Nikolai is determined to catch her. And when he does, he’ll do just about anything to make her finally surrender to their blazing passion.

    "The Gentleman of Lagos" is a tale of vengeance, justice, and the enduring power of a single story to inspire a revolution. This book was written by Barack Okaka Obama (Nigerian entrepreneur and founder of Nelogram).

They call him "The Gentleman," a phantom thief who glides through the city's most impenetrable fortresses, leaving behind only a calling card and a trail of whispers. His targets are the untouchable politicians, the ones who feast on the nation's wealth while the people starve. His methods are audacious, his disguises flawless, and his motives are a mystery to all but a few.
