Everything in my life has changed. This woman, my paid companion, has turned my world upside down … while making it right for the first time ever. We were brought together by need. Hers was money. Mine was companionship. And sex. Caitriona Louden gave me the girlfriend experience. All of it. And now she’s gone. I’m not supposed to miss her. I’m not supposed to love her. But I do. Both. Our contract expired, and she walked away. Now my world is falling apart without her in it. Because she is my everything. A fairy-tale romance. It’s ours to have. And this woman I’ve come to love so dearly is my beautiful ever after. ––––– About Beautiful Ever After–– Heat level: 5/5 Cheating: No Tropes and Themes: · Alpha · Arranged Relationship · Hero with an Accent (Scottish) · Billionaire · Single Dad · Widower · Age Gap (10 years) · Damaged Hero · Damaged Heroine *** While the characters from Eighty-One Nights are entirely new, their storyline is a combination of fresh material and carefully selected themes, scenes, and settings from The Beauty Series, The Sin Trilogy, Dear Agony, and Indulge. This is intentional. I chose some of my favorite elements from previous releases and interjected them into Hutch and Lou’s story. Let’s call it a “story fusion” between our old favorites and new material. ***

Dear Thomas, I know you're angry. It's true, I was sent to expose your mentor as a fraud illusionist, and instead I have put your secret in jeopardy. I fear I have even put your life in jeopardy. For that I can only beg your forgiveness. I've fallen for you. You know I have. And I never wanted to create a rift between us, but if it means protecting you from those who wish you dead—I'll do it. I'll do anything to keep you safe, whatever the sacrifice. Please forgive me for all I've done and what I'm about to do next. I promise, it's one magic trick no one will ever see coming. Love, Saverio

What are we not seeing? Our naked eyes see only a thin sliver of reality. We are blind in comparison to the X-rays that peer through skin, and the animals that can see in infrared or ultraviolet or with 360-degree vision. In The Reality Bubble, Ziya Tong illuminates this hidden world and takes us on a journey to examine ten of humanity’s biggest blind spots. What she reveals is not on the things we didn’t evolve to see but, more dangerously, the blindness of modern society. Fast-paced, utterly fascinating and deeply humane, this vitally important book gives voice to the sense we’ve all had – that there is more to the world than meets the eye.
