With a coveted position as a local news reporter, a "paper-perfect" boyfriend, and even a standing Saturday morning appointment with a reliable hairstylist, everything seems to be falling into place.Then Tabby receives an unexpected diagnosis that brings her picture-perfect life crashing down, jeopardizing the keystone she took for granted: having children. With her dreams at risk of falling through the cracks of her checklist, suddenly she is faced with an impossible choice between her career, her dream home, and a family of her own.With the help of her best friends, the irreverent and headstrong Laila and Alexis, the mom jeans-wearing former "Sexy Lexi," and the generational wisdom of her grandmother and the nonagenarian firebrand Ms. Gretchen, Tabby explores the reaches of modern medicine and tests the limits of her relationships, hoping to salvage the future she always dreamed of. But the fight is all consuming, demanding a steep price that forces an honest reckoning for nearly everyone in her life. As Tabby soon learns, her grandmother's age-old adage just might still be true: Black girls must die exhausted.- Shop: buecher

Treachery (eBook, ePUB)
Enter once more the world of Roland Deschain—and the world of the Dark Tower...now presented in a stunning graphic novel form that will unlock the doorways to terrifying secrets and bold storytelling as part of the dark fantasy masterwork and magnum opus from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King. "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." With these unforgettable words, millions of readers were introduced to Stephen King's iconic character Roland Deschain of Gilead. Roland is the last of his kind, a "gunslinger" charged with protecting whatever goodness and light remains in his world—a world that "moved on," as they say. In this desolate reality—a dangerous land filled with ancient technology and deadly magic, and yet one that mirrors our own in frightening ways—Roland is on a spellbinding and soul-shattering quest to locate and somehow save the mystical nexus of all worlds, all universes: the Dark Tower. Now, in the graphic novel series Stephen King's The Dark Tower: Beginnings, originally published by Marvel Comics in single-issue form and creatively overseen by Stephen King himself, the full story of Roland's troubled past and coming-of-age is revealed. Sumptuously drawn by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove, plotted by longtime Stephen King expert Robin Furth, and scripted by New York Times bestselling author Peter David, Beginnings is an extraordinary and terrifying journey into Roland's origins—ultimately serving as the perfect introduction for new readers to Stephen King's modern literary classic The Dark Tower, while giving longtime fans thrilling adventures merely hinted at in his blockbuster novels. Roland Deschain of Gilead and his ka-tet of Cuthbert Allgood and Alain Johns may have finally returned home, but all is not well in the crown jewel of Mid-World. Roland has voluntarily kept the stolen evil seeing sphere nicknamed "Maerlyn's Grapefruit"—lost in his obsession with peering into its pinkish depths, despite the devastating toll it takes on his health...and what the young gunslinger sees within the glass heralds the darkest of nightmares. Meanwhile, all around him, danger lurks in every form, as the shocking and horrific machinations of Gilead's sworn enemy, "the Good Man" John Farson, threatens all Roland holds dear and in ways he could never imagine...the cruel hand of fate about to push him inexorably closer along the path to the Dark Tower.- Shop: buecher

Riding My Neighbor's Stallion (eBook, ePUB)
Mrs. Richman asked me to watch her pinto stallion, Thunder, for the weekend while she was gone. I’d grown up around that stud and now that I was 18 I could be trusted around him. Or could I? It didn’t take long after she was gone before the large stallion grew frisky. Suddenly, I wondered what it would be like to touch it. I grew wet just thinking about it. What I found shocked me to my core. Excerpt: Thunder whinnied as he reared up, pulling me away from my thoughts. He was so proud of himself. I was caught up in his exuberant feelings as he pranced and played, just enjoying life. After he released some of his pent-up energy, he trotted toward me. "Are you feeling happy?" I stroked his velvety nose as he rubbed his head against me. Petting his face, neck and shoulders in the bright sunshine, I felt the power in his muscles and the energy that radiated from him. He pawed the ground and nickered as my lust grew. "You're a show off!" I threw back my head and laughed. It just felt so good to be with him. It was then that I noticed his excitement had grown. He must've been feeling particularly frisky as his massively-hung cock poked out of its sheath. Damn stallion was constantly horny! Something primitive stirred within me when I saw his big, thick and long cock. I swallowed and my mouth watered as curiosity stirred within me. I suddenly wanted to touch it. My body felt as if my internal thermostat had risen into an overpowering desire. My heart pounded in my ears and my female juices seeped out of my aching pussy. The need to touch his magnificent dick urged me to reach out shyly and stroke his hardening member. What am I doing? He's an animal! I should find a guy instead, I scolded myself. But when I saw his hardening cock, my animalistic desires exploded in me. Glancing around at the empty pasture, I made sure that we were alone. The last thing I needed was for some nosy neighbor to be peering over the gate, watching me stroke off a stallion. I ran my fingers over his strong long neck, his chest and powerful shoulders as he nuzzled my pert large breasts through my shirt. his lips tickled my neck and face as if he wanted to assure me that he was gentle. My clothes suddenly felt too warm as I stood beside him. Feeling his powerful muscles and inhaling his musky scent set my cunt ablaze. What I was about to do may be wrong but I just had to try it out. What did his cock feel like? And the size! I giggled just thinking about it.- Shop: buecher
