Paradise is perilous. Brianna just wanted a little adventure to spice up her life, but she ends up with far more than she bargained for. Stranded on an island brimming with intrigue and littered with dangerous traps, her best chance at survival may be the very thing that leads to her demise. Nathan may be considered as eccentric–cryptic, even–but that is nothing compared to the enigma that is Briana. When he allowed her to remain on his private island as his daughter’s governess, he never imagined she’d fill the vacant space in his heart as well. On an island teeming with dangerous traps, deadly puzzles, and menacing riddles, can Brianna find the adventure and romance of a lifetime with Nathan? Or will the fatal challenges rip her away from the man, island, and life she loves?

Many 19th and 20th century historians have argued that Northern slavery was mild and that master/slave relations were relatively harmonious. Yet, Northern slavery, like Southern, was characterized by the conflict between the masters' desire to control their slaves and the slaves' resistance to this domination. For a variety of political, social, and intellectual reasons, 19th and 20th century historians ignored this inherent conflict in discussions of Northern slavery. Fitts' research focuses on how and why historians sanitized the history of slavery in Narragansett, Rhode Island, and then shows the inadequacy of these interpretations by examining several of the planters' and slaves' conflicting strategies of control and resistance. Topics include how planters used physical punishment, legislation, and the threat of sale in an attempt to control their slaves, and how slaves resisted through violence, running away, and non-violent crime. Fitts also examines the plantation landscape as a site of symbolic contestation and includes a chapter on slave names. (Ph.D. dissertation, Brown University, 1995; revised with new preface)

It's all puns and memes until cats start disappearing. Willa the werewolf cat is taking the internet by storm, and Katrina, a dedicated member of the Loves Cats online community, is swept up in the frenzy. But when she starts receiving puzzling messages from a user named Catman007, her online experience takes a dark turn. As she unravels puzzles and gets closer to the heart of a mystery, she realizes that she might need more than her cats' nine lives to survive..." 5 Star reviews from Kindle Vella: "More than it first appears. Beginning very much like a Sweet Romance, this tight novella soon develops into a building mystery with sinister, shadowy characters, and imminent danger to its heroine. If you like a rich, involved story, don't mistake this for a fluff piece. It delivers the goods in a big way. Jump in and enjoy!" "This slice of life with a dollop of mystery is the cat’s meow! This is a lighthearted look at the life of cat lover and animal shelter worker, Katrina, and the people and furry friends in her life. The author skillfully sets the stage for mystery, intrigue, and fun. She makes the reader want to know more about the side characters as well. The plot demonstrates how easily someone can be friend-zoned when not communicating one’s feelings. I look forward to more when further secrets are revealed. I recommend this tale for an enjoyable read."
