Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Friendships, connections, family ties, trust, loyalty, obedience-this was the 'glue' that held us together." These were the principles that the greatest Mafia "Boss of Bosses," Joseph Bonnano, lived by. Born in Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily, Bonnano found his future amid the whiskey-running, riotous streets of Prohibition America in 1924, when he illegally entered the United States to pursue his dreams. By the age of only twenty-six, Bonnano became a Don. He would eventually take over the New York underworld, igniting the "Castellammarese War," one of the bloodiest Family battles ever to hit New York City... Now, in this candid and stunning memoir, Joe Bonanno-likely a model for Don Corleone in the blockbuster movie The Godfather-takes readers inside the world of the real Mafia. He reveals the inner workings of New York's Five Families-Bonanno, Gambino, Profaci, Lucchese, and Genovese-and uncovers how the Mafia not only dominated local businesses, but also influenced national politics. A fascinating glimpse into the world of crime, A Man of Honor is an unforgettable account of one of the most powerful crime figures in America's history.

Opening five years before the start of A Woman of Substance, Blackie and Emma begins with 13-year-old Blackie O'Neill facing an uncertain future in rural County Kerry. Orphaned and alone, he has just buried his sister, Bronagh, and must leave his home to set sail for England, in search of a better life with his mother's brother in Leeds. There, he learns his trade as a navvy, amid the grand buildings and engineering triumphs of one of England's most prosperous cities, and starts to dream of greater things... And then, high on the Yorkshire moors, in the mists of a winter morning he meets a kitchen maid called Emma Harte. In Blackie and Emma, the true Blackie O'Neill is revealed. For the first time, readers discover his story: his tumultuous life, the obstacles facing him, the desire he has to throw off the impotence of poverty and move up in the world. Like his friend Emma, he is ambitious, driven, disciplined, and determined to make it to the top. And like Emma Harte, he is an unforgettable character for the millions who loved the book.

Book excerpt: The Men's Code of Honor touches a raw nerve in all males as it compels them to answer the ultimate question: Do they know how to "act like a man"? Drawing from male codes of conduct through history, this book is, as one young man put it, "everything a man knows he should be, looking deep into our own minds to find what makes us men, and if need be, how we can correct ourselves to be that man inside." Writer Dan Stradford opens by telling how a friend's son "asked me something about the way men treat women. I told him that an unspoken code exists among men that we all tend to subscribe to and this guides how we treat women. His father nodded in agreement. This brief incident passed but the moment stayed with me. Why is it, I wondered, that this 'code' is unspoken? Why hasn't anyone written it down?" And so began a five-year quest into the history of men's codes of conduct. Searching through military codes, athletic codes, cowboy codes, and many others, Stradford found 66 rules of conduct that had withstood the test of time - the essence of the unwritten code of honor amongst men. Each chapter covers a different sector - including Integrity, Duty, Work, Courage, Women, Children, and Family. To bring the points home, Stradford opens each with a raw story from his own life, rising from the poverty of St. Louis slums without a father to guide him. The Men's Code of Honor is a manual for women, too, as it lays bare the core drives, motives, and duties of men and how to measure the integrity and reliability of the men in their lives. Find out why this book has been hailed as "masterful," "brilliantly written," "transforming" and a must-read for men and women, young or old!

Book excerpt: No one can tell the true story of the Mafia in America better than Bill Bonanno. He was there. He lived it. Bill Bonanno was born into a world of respect, tradition, and honor. The son of legendary mafioso Joe Bonanno, Bill was a "made" member of the Mafia by the time he was in his early twenties. He was rumored to be the model for The Godfather's Michael Corleone and was the subject of Gay Talese's best-selling Honor Thy Father. Now retired, Bill is finally ready to give an eyewitness account of his life as a high-ranking captain in the Bonanno crime family, one of America's most powerful Mafia syndicates. He takes you inside the mob at its peak, when New York's Five Families-Bonanno, Gambino, Colombo, Lucchese, and Genovese-not only dominated local businesses, but also controlled national politics. For the first time, Bill Bonanno discloses the machinations behind his marriage to Rosalie Profaci (niece of the powerful don Joe Profaci), and even that cemented the alliance between the two Families with all the pomp and circumstance of a royal wedding. From the truth about the mysterious disappearance of his father to a startling disclosure about he mob's participation in the Kennedy assassination, Bill Bonanno lays bare the inner workings of his chaotic, violent, and surprisingly human world with unparalleled detail and insight. Bound By Honor not only recounts Bill Bonanno's tumultuous life, but also is an engrossing chronicle of organized crime. Bonanno's story provides a remarkable glimpse into all of the intriguing personalities of the underworld of yesterday to today, from Bugsy Siegel to John Gotti. This book is a must for readers of Mario Puzo, Gay Talese, Nicholas Pileggi, and others who have written abut the Mafia, but who have never been in the eye of the storm in quite the same way as Bill Bonanno in Bound By Honor.

Book excerpt: The Only Thing Worse Than a Forced Marriage...is Falling in Love When Eliot Crenshaw agreed to drive Laura Lindley to her aunts in London, he didn't expect to end up stranded, unchaperoned—and married. He doesn't believe in love, but he does know his duty. What he doesn't know is how to behave when his marriage of necessity unexpectedly turns into a love match. Laura Lindley's dreams of her first London season are smashed by a forced marriage to avoid a devastating scandal. But she finds herself devastated instead by her husband's cool and distant behavior. How can she possibly compete with Eliot's dazzling—and vengeful—mistress? Desperate to win his love, the young bride begins a rebellion that had all the ton agog—and her husband forgetting about honor and listening instead to his heart. Praise for The Marriage Wager: "Exceptional characters and beautifully crafted historical details ensure a delightful read for Judith McNaught and Mary Balogh Fans."—Publishers Weekly "Lively, well-written Regency romance sparkles with wonderful dialogue, witty scenes, and just the right tough of humor, adventure, and repartee."—RT Book Reviews

Book excerpt: Former Army Captain and venture capitalist Preston Guthrie has always had a thing for Cat Kingston, but he never felt like he could date his best friend’s sister. Plus, he’s a wrong-side-of-the-tracks guy and she’s a white-picket-fence kind of woman. Yet when they met again just before he was deployed, sparks flew. A fire ignited. And the heat was hot. For the first time, he thought a relationship with her might be possible...until an injury in the war changed everything... Journalist Cat Kingston had a rough couple of years, surviving a broken engagement and the loss of her job. But connecting with Preston last fall seemed right. They shared steamy Skype sessions while he was overseas—until he was wounded, and cut her off without explanation. Now he’s back in town to be the Best Man for her sister’s wedding...and she wants answers. Preston’s struggling with a leg wound, but the war scarred him on the inside, too. When Cat pays him a surprise visit and her brother catches them in a compromising position, Preston tells him they’re dating. He’s not sure how he can spend the entire wedding week fake-dating her when the chemistry between them feels anything but... Each book in the Kingston Family series is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order. Series Order: Book #1 Heart and Sole Book #2 A Man of Honor Book #3 The Baby Project

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to coax Roman history closer to the bone, to the breath and matter of the living being. Drawing from a remarkable array of ancient and modern sources, Carlin Barton offers the most complex understanding to date of the emotional and spiritual life of the ancient Romans. Her provocative and original inquiry focuses on the sentiments of honor that shaped the Romans' sense of themselves and their society. Speaking directly to the concerns and curiosities of the contemporary reader, Barton brings Roman society to life, elucidating the complex relation between the inner life of its citizens and its social fabric. Though thoroughly grounded in the ancient writings—especially the work of Seneca, Cicero, and Livy—this book also draws from contemporary theories of the self and social theory to deepen our understanding of ancient Rome. Barton explores the relation between inner desires and social behavior through an evocative analysis of the operation, in Roman society, of contests and ordeals, acts of supplication and confession, and the sense of shame. As she fleshes out Roman physical and psychological life, she particularly sheds new light on the consequential transition from republic to empire as a watershed of Roman social relations. Barton's ability to build productively on both old and new scholarship on Roman history, society, and culture and her imaginative use of a wide range of work in such fields as anthropology, sociology, psychology, modern history, and popular culture will make this book appealing for readers interested in many subjects. This beautifully written work not only generates insight into Roman history, but also uses that insight to bring us to a new understanding of ourselves, our modern codes of honor, and why it is that we think and act the way we do.

Book excerpt: This book focuses on a special quality that, if embraced by men, can change the lives of those around them and even the course of history. This is not something reserved for a few mighty men of valor, but for every man. It requires courage, perseverance, faithfulness and a willingness of men to serve and even lay down their lives for others. I am referring to the life changing commission of God to walk in honor; living by its code as an all consuming value in every relationship. Honor can be shown publicly, but also quietly and inconspicuously. It operates through honoring attitudes, words and actions and gives respect, dignity and value to those we deal with daily. God’s trumpet is sounding! It’s time to take “ the mountain “ and raise the flag of honor. It is the high call of God for every man. Join me on a journey to discover a way of life that could change the world as we know it. You will be inspired to develop unique character and leadership qualities. Many lives, marriages and families have been empowered, healed and restored as men have applied the principles shared in this book. Designed for personal study and ideal for men’s groups

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a man pledges his honor to his country, that sacrifice is embedded in his soul forever. For years he's trained to fight, kill, and do whatever necessary to protect his country and its freedom, even if it means giving his own life. He becomes more of a machine than human-one that's built to destroy the enemy. When it's time to turn in his weapons, he never forgets the skills he learned. Never forgets the smell of death or feel of a rifle in his hands. The same hands that one day cradle his baby girl and caress the skin of his beautiful wife. If anything or anyone ever tried to steal away the family he has vowed to love and protect, may God have mercy on their soul.
