The Rules According to GinaThe Rules Series - Book 1
A father I idolized turned me away.
The man I once thought I loved rejected me.
A sister who loved me unconditionally was snatched away.
Sadly, she was the one person who I loved like none other until my father murdered her. For reference, he killed my mother too. A mother I never knew and kept a secret by him.
LOVE - no matter how pure is an emotion for fools. It makes you soft…weak, and I’ve got the scars to prove it. Believe me, it’s more than enough reason to keep that one soft place that remains hidden deeply within the recesses of my heart and away from the Lee-Xiou family curse. Even more so, I think, now that the cloud called a conscience hovers over me no more. I suppose that’s why when I killed my father; I felt nothing – no remorse, no sadness. Absolutely…nothing.
It’ll be interesting to see how the men in my world adjust. I’m in control. My game my rules - The rules according to Gina.

War had been started for control of my father’s empire and what remained of my tarnished soul. Winning and losing would have the same result - my complete annihilation – with one exception.
In an instant, my priorities shifted.
A coldness crept through my body at the realization of what I had to do - the unthinkable.
I once told them it was my game my rules. They didn’t believe me. I guess I’ll have to show them.

You have too much honour for this trade, my dear. Abandon it now, while you still can.
In eighteenth-century London, twelve-year-old linkboy Philo Grey has spent most of his childhood out on the streets, collecting information to sell. One of his best customers, Mr Bishop, pays him good money for intelligence about the Jacobites, who are plotting to overthrow King George. But spying on the Jacobites is a dangerous business - especially when Philo becomes the target of a rival gang of linkboys. And then there's Philo's old master, Garnet Hooke, who's never forgiven Philo for leaving him. Garnet feels so betrayed, he'll stop at nothing.
Luckily, Philo has friends as well as enemies. He can trust his crew of linkboys, his team of informants, and his staunch friend Nathaniel Paxton, a surgeon with a background in espionage. Even his new friend, actress and master of disguise, Caroline Cowley, is a valuable ally. But with his enemies closing in, Philo has to ask himself: where should his loyalties really lie? And how far should they take him? Views: 573

She had never heard of Soay before, let alone visited it, but something inexplicable drew her there. Within ten minutes of stepping off the said fishing boat, she had fallen under the spell of the island, and after a few months she moved there to live. She is still there. When she arrived on the remote west coast island there were only 17 inhabitants, among them the legendary Hebridean sharker Tex Geddes and his family. Today, including Anne and her husband Robert, there are only three. This book describes her extraordinary transition from a hectic urban lifestyle to one of rural isolation and self-sufficiency, without mains electricity, medical services, shops or any of the other modern amenities we take for granted. Anne describes the history of Soay and... Views: 573

The British invasion of Mesopotamia was initially successful in securing the oil fields around Basra by November 1914.Despite evidence of stiffening Turkish resistance and inadequate supply lines which relied solely on the River Tigris, the Expeditionary Force was disastrously ordered to advance on Baghdad under the command of the ambitious, capable but flawed Major General Charles Townshend. After a pyrrhic victory at Ctesiphon in November 1915 the British were forced to withdraw to Kut. After a five month siege Townshend had little option but to surrender due to heavy losses and inadequate supplies.Such was the humiliation and loss of life that the British Parliament ordered a Mesopotamia Commission to be set up. This attributed responsibility and blame to the toxic combination of incompetent leadership and wholesale military misjudgement.This fine book re-examines the circumstances and personalities that brought about such a disastrous and costly outcome to a...
