The Mood of the Bystander
King Edward and his hardbitten General´s yea and nay was smooth-sailing, but betrayed by anger and revenge. Prince Andor and Princess Victoria´s love was that of first sight, and they fell deeply in it. The beloved Prince did everything he could to stop her from joining her friends to war against England, but the Princess was hell-bent on that. Unknown to him, she was even pregnant, but for who? Most of the greatest losses and victories in life do not come with deafening hubbub; sometimes, not even with a clank; they mostly whisper their ways through to accomplishment. He who chuckled at yells, threats, and jangles of swords and breastplates; he who smiled at the gloomiest of futures, and built his tent amid hunger, shame, negligence, and terror, the same is the bystander.

The 756th Tank Battalion in The Battle of Cassino, 1944
Roger Fazendin spent the last three years of his life collecting memories from his 756th Tank Battalion brothers who survived WWII and the Battle of Cassino. Fazendin's design was to give the comrades who fought in that battle, and their families, a full picture of "what the hell went on". Battle action is fast and disjointed; each soldier's grasp of the action is limited by the intense focus required by his specific orders, hardware, and survival imperatives. This book is a collection of material from over fifty survivors, with a half dozen primary contributors, into a coherent series of narratives. The results make for riveting reading. What is unique about this book is the fact that it is written by the men themselves-not by the commanders, not by historians, not by the military. It is a record written by mature men about the thoughts and memories recorded in their young minds while they were surviving the chaos and madness of unrelenting battle in terrible winter weather. Fazendin's additions of context and historical record make for a wise and compelling assembly of the experiences of one battle. Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.
Hot Billionaire Player
It started as an act of compassion and a public display of affection. Lacey Teague, blogger and public relations expert, saw a tall, hot man being pursued through the ballpark by the media, reporters desperate for a quote. When she recognized him as the Omaha Chargers new owner who had just lost his father and inherited a ball team, she decided to help out. Sticking her hat on his head to provide some disguise, she wrapped herself around him and kissed him until the reporters went away. Then she kissed him a little bit longer. Jay Monroe isn't looking for a relationship. He's looking for some way to deal with the press, the only part of his new gig as billionaire owner of a ball team that he hates. When he gets kissed by the girl with the short black hair and the big green eyes who offers to help him overcome his fear of public speaking, he'd have to be insane to say no. But as spring training progresses, their boot camp style relationship heats up fast and when an ugly problem surfaces between them, they don't have the resources yet to deal with it. Is it the end of any hope for a winning season? Or can they turn the relationship around before the last inning?

Despite his many obstacles, Johnny has had a wonderful life—a life that includes traveling the world with his daughter Angela and being able to appreciate the small things.
