Their passionate love unfolds amidst the Sicilian backdrop. Marrying after a tantalizing year, they move to Boston, Philadelphia and then Atlanta where Jamie’s multi-million dollar sales career reaches a crisis. While pursuing a huge contract, he’s sorely tempted by his voluptuous, young PA, and he encounters an autocratic and unethical customer chief executive. Will these two individuals wreck his marriage and his career? Review: In his first novel Mr. Peace has spun a tale of the moral dilemmas confronting his protagonist both in his personal and professional life. Jamie Morrison, a likeable, intelligent, up and coming young executive with his company's power generation group has the opportunity for the biggest sale deal of his career. The intricacies and machinations of closing the deal make for exciting and absorbing reading. Lots of tension there. In the meantime his wife, who has played the corporate gypsy as he climbed the corporate ladder, finds herself living in a town where she feels she doesn't fit in. Caterina is a stay at home mom with two young daughters and a Downs Syndrome little boy who keep her busy, but she knows something is missing. Tension at home, too. As the business deal reaches its conclusion, Jamie discovers that it will only become reality if he does something unethical. Tempted by the attractiveness and sexiness of his personal assistant, he faces another dilemma, as he considers cheating on his wife. In a delightful way, the chapters move back and forth from the present business dealings and home life to the story of their personal life. These chapters tell how he met his wife when he was a naval officer in port in Sicily. Seeing this beautiful woman at an opera, he manages to engage her in conversation and she later agrees to lunch with him. Her family owns a winery and he visits there. Their relationship develops into love. As her mother observes their obvious attraction and feelings and scared that they will marry and go to America, she warns her daughter about "fishing in foreign seas." However, to no avail, as the young couple do marry. He leaves the navy, goes to work for a large manufacturing company, and they first settle in the Boston area. Other chapters detail their early married life, birth of children, and his progression in the company. As an aside, for those readers who only think Mafia when they hear the word Sicily, it should be noted that the chapters in Sicily provide wonderful insights into the history, culture and people of this island with which many readers might not be familiar. Mr. Peace has created two very appealing characters in Jamie and Caterina. We are rooting for him to figure out how to "do the right thing" in business and for him and Caterina to solve this temporary glitch in their relationship. At times it was difficult to keep all the business “personages straight 1 (perhaps too many?) and the footnotes are distracting.” For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected]. 2 Blow Out Summer Action/Adventure Author: Denise Ann Stock Keywords: Drug Trafficking, Surfing, Summer, Relationships Web: Publisher Web Site: http://sbprabooks.com/DeniseAnnStock/ Author Web Site: http://sbprabooks.com/DeniseAnnStock/ Book Details: ISBN: 9781628570823 Publish Year: 2014 Pages: 358 Word Count: 121650 Publisher: SBPRA softcover - Length: 6.0 Width: 9.0 - $ 19.95 Overview: Dee Dee lives in a very well-to-do area and is introduced to social drug experimentation and drug trafficking while maintaining a normal family life.

In this book, Peter A. Olsson, MD, applies his years of work with disordered personalities to the psychological understanding of why seemingly ordinary Americans turn into murderers of their countrymen. He identifies the psychodynamic patterns in the lives of those who become "homegrown terrorists" and commit acts of cold-blooded murder or acts of terror. Olsson examines twenty detailed case histories of individuals—often youths or young adults—to provide theoretical and practical understanding of homegrown terrorists. The book focuses on individuals that include Timothy McVeigh; Ted Kaczynski, a.k.a. "The Unabomber"; the "Shoe-Bomber" Richard Reid; Colleen LaRose, a.k.a. "Jihad Jane"; Nidal Malik Hasan, an American-born physician psychiatrist and former U.S. Army officer who opened fire on American troops at Fort Hood, Killeen, TX, killing 13 and injuring more than 30; and Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tzarnaev, the two brothers charged with placing pressure cooker bombs at the finish line
