On the verge of death from two gunshot wounds, Bolt vows revengeThey call him Black Beauty, because he is the most gorgeous thief the drug world has ever seen. Where some are content to make a living ripping off dime-bag hustlers, Black Beauty steals from big-time dealers, taking profits from international cartels to keep himself rich, well-dressed, and smiling. His latest score netted him $850,000, along with the twenty-two kilos of cocaine the money was intended to buy. To get it he killed four men, and left one narcotics agent to bleed to death in a parking lot. Before long, Black Beauty will wish he finished the job. John Bolt is too tough to let a pretty boy kill him. As soon as he's strong enough to lift a .45, he's coming after Black Beauty—even if he has to take vengeance from a wheelchair. Views: 137

She masterfully weaves every off-hand mention of a seemingly incidental detail, every potentially eyebrow-raising plot point together in service to her story and the resulting dramatic climax, which then becomes believable, thanks to Hart's skill. This story will stay with you long after you reach the last page."-Romantic Times Book Reviews on Precious and Fragile Things"Megan Hart is easily one of the most talented voices I've encountered." -The Romance Reader"This isn't like the previous books I've read from Ms. Hart and I've definitely learned to expect the unexpected from her.... I know this book will speak to others differently; it's that kind of read. For me it was dark, disturbing, difficult, uncomfortable, heartbreaking, and finally, redemptive and life affirming.... It's not easy to try and face those dark nooks and crannies in our hearts and minds we prefer to pretend don't exist." -Manic Readers About the AuthorMegan Hart is the award-winning and multi-published author of more than thirty novels, novellas and short stories.

It was market day at Aldersbury, the old county town of Aldshire, and the busiest hour of the day. The clock of St. Juliana\'s was on the point of striking three, and the streets below it were thronged. The gentry, indeed, were beginning to take themselves homeward; a carriage and four, with postillions in yellow jackets, awaited its letters before the Post Office, and near at hand a red-wheeled tandem-cart, the horses tossing their small, keen heads, hung on the movements of its master, who was gossipping on the steps of Ovington\'s Bank, on Bride Hill. But only the vans bound to the more distant valleys had yet started on their lagging journey; the farmers\' gigs, the hucksters\' carts, the pack-asses still lingered, filling the streets with a chattering, moving multitude. White-coated yeomen and their wives jostled their betters--but with humble apologies--in the low-browed shops, or hardily pushed smocked-frocks from the narrow pavements, or clung together in obstinate groups in the roadway. Loud was the babel about the yards of the inns, loudest where the taprooms poured forth those who, having dined well, had also drunk deep, after the fashion of our great-grandsires. Views: 136

Based on the life of Hulda Klager, Where Lilacs Still Bloom is a story of triumph over an impossible dream and the power of a generous heart."Beauty matters... it does. God gave us flowers for...
