While they’re thrilled to escape all the infighting, Kate and Curran know that separating from the Pack completely is a process that will take time. But when they learn that their friend Eduardo has gone missing, Kate and Curran shift their focus to investigate his disappearance. As they dig further into the merc’s business, they discover that the Mercenary Guild has gone to hell.

It isn’t often that Kate Daniels and the Beast Lord Curran get to take a break from protecting their pack and enjoy some time for themselves. So when Curran offers Kate a romantic dinner in town, there’s no way she’s going to pass. But their quiet night doesn’t stay quiet for long.

Andrew Carnegie è stata una delle persone più ricche che siano mai vissute. Ma alla sua morte aveva dato via il novanta per cento della sua ricchezza. Seguì il suo motto, che enunciò nel "Vangelo della Ricchezza": "L'uomo che muore così ricco muore in disgrazia", fino alla fine. Nato in Scozia, da una povera famiglia di tessitori, emigrò negli Stati Uniti d'America con la sua famiglia quando aveva tredici anni. Nel corso dei successivi cinquant'anni salì attraverso i ranghi del lavoro e investì ampiamente.

Skadi first met her husband-to-be with blades in hand on the opposite side of a battle. She lost, and he claimed his prize. To her horror, the king of the shadow elven agrees to marry her off to Jonas, a prince in the fae realms, as a way to unite their kingdoms against a shared enemy—the light elves. Skadi knows the marriage is nothing but a political game. Feelings won't come into play. Except her new husband makes not falling in love... challenging. When new threats arise, Skadi must decide either to love her enemy or keep him alive by betraying him to another.

Ogni parola della lezione del signor Carnegie è degna di studio. Le sue parole provengono da un'esperienza matura e sono rivolte ai giovani; egli parla con un cuore colmo di premura e di umana compassione. Mostra i gradini che devono essere saliti con un avanzamento regolare verso il successo negli affari, e insiste sul fatto che oggi non vi sia mancanza di opportunità per coloro che imparano a trovarle o a crearle. Per i giovani è a favore di una carriera negli affari piuttosto che una carriera artistica o professionale, per dei motivi che, per una mente aperta, sono buoni.
