Wine, Whiskey, & Lipstick 2


Book Description

A glass of wine. A shot of whiskey. A touch of lipstick and irresistible cowboys. Sexiness overload in this long-awaited and highly anticipated sequel to Wine, Whiskey, & Lipstick. Dillyn Anderson should have waited a couple more months to divorce her cheating ex-husband; then she would have been known as a widower instead of a divorcee. Her ex was a dirty dealer, a liar, and a cheat, but that was his story, not Dillyn’s. She was determined to build a better and simpler life in Summer, Tennessee. Far away from the chaos of New York and falling in love was not part of the plan–until she met him. Benjamin “Ben” Cash filled his days in the sleepy town of Summer on his family’s ranch, trying desperately to forget an unspeakable tragedy. That is until he meets Dillyn Anderson. Her beguiling smile and hauntingly beautiful eyes caught his attention, and eventually captured his heart. Together, they discovered that happily ever after was not just a fairytale–it was within reach. Too bad darker forces stood in the way. Dillyn had something they wanted, and this unknown enemy would stop at nothing to get it. Can Ben protect not only Dillyn, but his growing family from impending danger? Find out in the explosive follow-up to Wine, Whiskey, & Lipstick. This book includes mature themes and content that may not be suitable for all audiences; some situations may be triggering.

Wine, Water and Song


Book Description




Yo Mama!


Book Description

Collected primarily in metropolitan New York and Philadelphia during the classic era of black street poetry (i.e., during the late 1960s and early 1970s) these raps, signifyings, toasts, boasts, jokes and children's rhymes will delight general readers as well as scholars. Ranging from the simple rhymes that accompany children's games to verbally inventive insults and the epic exploits of traditional characters like Shine and Stagger Lee, these texts sound the deep rivers of culture, echoing two continents. Onwuchekwa Jemie's introductory essay situates them in a globally pan-African context and relates them to more recent forms of oral culture such as rap and spoken word.

But change isn’t easy, and it’s even harder when Jesse has to fight his fierce attraction to the maid of honour—a woman well aware of the darkness in his past. Beautician Serenity Strachan’s flippant one-liners and vibrant hair colours are armour to protect her fragile heart. She’s always crushed on Jesse, but she’s determined to keep him and his sordid past at an arm’s length. That’s easier said than done when Jesse asks Serenity to help renovate an old property. And when they're trapped underground in a tunnel cave-in, their emotional barriers fall faster than the tunnel walls. When rescue arrives, they question their new emotional intimacy. Can Serenity trust this new Jesse with her heart? And can Jesse trust that Serenity will ignore the lure of a fortune to keep his secrets safe?
