Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do our politicians let the entertainment industry and individuals like Donald Trump bilk taxpayers, hijack public policy and hurt economic investment? It is widely believed, that a city in possession of a fortune must be in want of a partner who will drive economic development and thus be worth a substantial dowry of tax abatements, subsidies, and grants. These partners always prove faithless, though, especially when it comes to the entertainment industry. Never date an actor, as they say. From stadiums and movie productions to casinos and mega-malls to convention centers and hotels, cities and states have paid out billions of dollars to the world's corporate titans in an attempt to boost their economies, create new and better jobs, and lure well-known events such as the Olympics and the Super Bowl to within their borders, not to mention give officials a chance to have their pictures taken with celebrities. That Big Entertainment drives bigger economies is a myth, however, one that has nonetheless permeated every facet of policy making despite the overwhelming evidence that it results in a raw deal for the taxpaying public. In The Billionaire Boondoggle, Garofalo takes readers on a tour of publically-subsidized corporate America to explain how that myth came to be, how much money America's elected officials throw away, and why courting Big Entertainment just courts disaster.

Book excerpt: Broody billionaire Walker Drummond is way out of my league, but that’s easily forgotten when I literally fall at his feet—on my behind, my dress hiked to my hips—staring up at his irritatingly handsome face. I’m a reluctant thief, and he should be off-limits, but underneath his hard exterior lies an adoring father and caring man. And the real jaw-dropper? He’s interested in me. None of this should matter since he has no use for relationships. And despite the magnetism of his unwavering confidence and arresting blue eyes, I don’t do flings. We’re at a stalemate. Which is for the best. Until surprisingly, he abandons his hard line on casual for me. Blame it on lust or maybe it’s something more when I cast caution aside to be with him. Still, I don’t belong in his world. Nor do I know how to play the game. The thing with games? Only one person wins. While Walker keeps his heart safely guarded, convinced I’ll steal it, I’m the one who stands to lose it all.

And one of the richest. Steal from Zane Roth-King of Wall Street and one of the famous billionaire bachelors of New York-sure thing, piece of cake. You see, some people can play the piano, but I can play safes. My father is a thief, safecracker extraordinaire, and a criminal. He also taught me everything he knows. I've spent my entire life trying not to be him. I own my own business, pay my taxes, and I don't break the law. Ever. Now I have to smash every one of my rules, break into a billionaire's penthouse, and steal a million-dollar necklace. What I never expected was to find myself face to face with Zane. Tall, dark, handsome, and oh-so-rich Zane. He's also smart, and he knows I'm up to something. And he's vowed to find out. Each book in the Billionaire Heists Trilogy can be read as a stand-alone, action-packed romance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A close presidential election in November could well come down to contested states or even districts--an election decided by vote theft? It could happen this year. Based on Greg Palast and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s investigative reporting for Rolling Stone and BBC television, Billionaires & Ballot Bandits: How to Steal an Election in 9 Easy Steps might be the most important book published this year--one that could save the election. Billionaires & Ballot Bandits names the filthy-rich sugar-daddies who are super-funding the Super-PACs of both parties--billionaires with nicknames like "The Ice Man," "The Vulture" and, of course, The Brothers Koch. Told with Palast's no-holds-barred, reporter-on-the-beat style, the facts as he lays them out are staggering. What emerges in Billionaires & Ballot Bandits is the never-before-told-story of the epic battle being fought behind the scenes between the old money banking sector that still supports Obama, and the new hedge fund billionaires like Paul Singer who not only support Romney but also are among his key economic advisors. Although it has not been reported, Obama has shown some backbone in standing up to the financial excesses of the men behind Romney. Billionaires & Ballot Bandits exposes the previously unreported details on how operatives plan to use the hundreds of millions in Super-PAC money pouring into this election. We know the money is pouring in, but Palast shows us the convoluted ways the money will be used to suppress your vote. The story of the billionaires and why they want to buy an election is matched with the nine ways they can steal the election. His story of the sophisticated new trickery will pick up on Palast's giant New York Times bestseller, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.

Risk assessor Charley Claybourne has always known her luck pretty much... well, sucks. Getting soaked in lactose-free chocolate milk thanks to a hunkylicious, blue-eyed stranger is bad enough. But discovering that he’s her new billionaire client, and could make or break her career? Oh hi, it’s me, the icing on top of the world’s most craptastic cake. Now Charley has to decide if Chris Lachlan, Disney prince made flesh, is a good risk to be CEO of his family’s billion-dollar corporation. You know, if a reckless adrenaline junkie—who eats the unhealthiest food known to man and has dated cartel princesses, thieves, and actual spies—could ever qualify as the “good” kind of risk. But Charley isn’t immune to the charms of this hot, trouble-seeking billionaire. And as luck would have it, she’ll have to choose between trashing her career... or falling head-over-broken-heels for the biggest risk of her life.

Book excerpt: To save the only mother I've ever known, all I have to do is hack a tech billionaire. My foster mother is sick. The woman who gave me a home, love, a life. I'll do anything to find the money for her surgery, including using my skills as a hacker. My name's Remi, also known as Rogue Angel, and usually I work for a security company testing clients' systems. But now a shadowy bad guy has tracked me down and given me an ultimatum. I have to hack Rivera Tech-the biggest technology company in the world, owned by billionaire CEO, Maverick Rivera. If I do, I get paid and I can help my foster mother. If I don't, my family is in danger. Hacking Rivera is no walk in the park, and soon I find myself in a tantalizing game of cat and mouse with big, grumpy, and way-too-sexy Maverick. What I never, ever expected was for him to make me feel safe, or to threaten my closely-guarded heart, or to ignite every single part of me. I can't drag him into my mess. But Maverick has other ideas, and he isn't a man who takes no for an answer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Billionaire Wilderness offers an unprecedented look inside the world of the ultra-wealthy and their relationship to the natural world, showing how the ultra-rich use nature to resolve key predicaments in their lives. Justin Farrell immerses himself in Teton County, Wyoming--both the richest county in the United States and the county with the nation's highest level of income inequality--to investigate interconnected questions about money, nature, and community in the twenty-first century. Farrell draws on three years of in-depth interviews with "ordinary" millionaires and the world's wealthiest billionaires, four years of in-person observation in the community, and original quantitative data to provide comprehensive and unique analytical insight on the ultra-wealthy. He also interviewed low-income workers who could speak to their experiences as employees for and members of the community with these wealthy people. He finds that the wealthy leverage nature to climb even higher on the socioeconomic ladder, and they use their engagement with nature and rural people as a way of creating more virtuous and deserving versions of themselves. Billionaire Wilderness demonstrates that our contemporary understanding of the relationship between the ultra-wealthy and the environment is empirically shallow, and our reliance on reports of national economic trends distances us from the real experiences of these people and their local communities"--

Book excerpt: New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julia London delivers a sexy new contemporary western, where a lonesome rancher and a no-nonsense cowgirl learn that you don't choose who you fall for--love lassos you.... As the firstborn son, it's been drilled into Nick that he is the heir apparent to the Prince family empire. But cattle ranching has never been his true passion. Nick wants to be a pilot. However, when his father dies, leaving Nick to clean up the mess, he knows he must do his duty before following his heart. Charlotte Bailey can't believe that Nick is back to run the ranch. As the office manager, she knows it's her responsibility to help him. If only he wasn't so brooding and cranky--and so hot it's a wonder his chaps don't melt right off him. But when sparks fly between them, she's adamant about staying away from a cowboy on his way out the door. Nick knows the ranch's pretty, smart, and capable office manager is off-limits, but he needs her. And working in such close proximity to Charlotte every day is making Nick crazy. She smells good, she looks good, she makes him laugh, but most of all she makes him want to stay....
