Merry Men Box Set #1
The first two books of the Merry Men Quartet, An Exotic Heir and A Rake’s Reward, plus a bonus novella, Under the Mango Tree.
Under the Mango Tree: A good Indian girl peeking out from behind her veil. A handsome Englishman determined to find adventure. Two people dare to dream the impossible.
An Exotic Heir: Weaving a web of revenge can be satisfying, but dangerous to your heart.
London society is shallow and cruel, sending Cassandra Renwick running to Calcutta, the exotic seat of the British Raj. It’s a fascinating place filled with interesting sights – including the dark and mysterious Julian Ritchie. But she never thought that an even greater heartbreak could be here in this alien and enchanting land.
Julian has always been discriminated against for being only half English. Embittered, he plots an intricate plan for vengeance with the innocent and lovely Cassandra as his pawn. But he soon finds that payback can be painful for the avenger as well when the threads of revenge unwittingly turn into the silken bonds of love.
A Rake’s Reward: A treasure lost…
American Sara Whately came to England with a single goal: recover a long-lost family treasure. Her father had long ago renounced his title and abandoned his country, but desperate financial straits call for desperate measures. Gaining access won’t be easy. The jewels are hidden on an estate Sara’s grandfather lost long ago in an unlucky turn of the cards. And then there’s the vexing, villainous, valiant Viscount Reath…
A jewel of a woman…
Sinclair Stratton, Lord Reath has always gotten everything he wants—money, privilege, and women. But after ten years in India, he’s returned to England, ready to make amends for his youthful follies. He plans to return his ill-gotten estate to its rightful owner but the man is impossible to find. And despite still being one of the most sought after rake’s in town, the bold American beauty he keeps encountering seems to be immune to his charms and dashing good looks.
While Sara has promised to not just search for her grandfather’s jewels, but make an attempt at fitting into society, it might just be that Viscount Reath is the treasure she actually needs.

They Feed
The night uncovers all we wish not to see.
A troubled man enters a dusky park before sunset. A young woman follows, hidden in shadow. Both have returned to the park to take back something the past has stolen from them, to make right six long years of suffering, and to find justice or perhaps redemption—or maybe they’ll settle for some old-fashioned revenge.
But something evil is alive and awake in those woods, creatures that care nothing for human motivations. They’re driven by their own insatiable need: a ravenous, bottomless hunger.
The campgrounds are full tonight, and the creatures are starving. Before the night is over, they will feed.

On Holy Ground
Fans of Cassandra Clare or Holly Black shouldn’t miss this sensational urban fantasy.
Everyone wants the heroine of The Devil’s Poetry.
They want her dead.
Callie, the only reader to have survived the magics of the Book, plans a wonderful future with the man she loves – only to have her life ripped apart by tragedy. Worse, a strange infection is passing through the population. An infection which leaves them white-eyed and terrifying. With the demonic Cadaveri increased a thousandfold, the world once again teeters on the brink of war.
Callie goes looking for answers, but since the Order of Sumer first recruited her to read its mysterious manuscript, the game has changed. As someone who understands the Book’s secrets, she is either a saviour or a curse to all who know her. Stranded in the US, hunted and penniless, she desperately needs allies. But the Order, the Cadaveri and the world’s intelligence services all have their own agendas – and all their spies are on her tail.
Callie must put aside love and grief, and re-evaluate everything she knows about the Reading. And to do that she must find that Book, and escape. Or die trying.
Enter the dangerous, twisty and frighteningly realistic world of The Devil’s Poetry series, where magic, romance and action collide and the monsters are all too human.

Author Bio:
Yolanda T. Marshall was born in Guyana, South America. As a cross-genre writer, Miss Marshall silently commands you to read and digest life’s cultural motions.
The oldest of three girls, she began writing poems at the age of 8. A daughter of a talented Guitarist, her lyrics manifest into poetry, like a genetic code. Poems such as “Serenaded in New York,” “Delia Sings the Blues” and “Single Rose” flow on a mellow Jazz -like note.
The name of her first book, “Obayifo”, originates from the Ashanti tribe. It is the name given to an African Witch. The poem visits the works of Obeah, its people and fears. Miss Marshall’s dynamic ability to address matters of the heart is limitless. One all time favourite remains, “Train Ride To Babylon”, Miss Marshall questions religion, as she explores the mind of an experienced older woman – offering her reader a glimpse into the life of a black woman’s struggles with poverty within a commercialized society. This poetry book was published in 2008, while Yolanda attended University of Toronto.
Yolanda T. Marshall is currently an E-Commerce Account Manager and a mother of one based in Canada. She is also the Business Director of her Mother’s Jewelry Store –
Cutest Jewels. This Poet was inspired to write her second book, a children’s book named “Keman’s First Carnival” after becoming a mom. This 2016 publication is about a young, Black Canadian child’s first experience of Toronto’s annual Caribbean Carnival. The excited 8 year old and his Mother enjoyed the rituals at the Caribbean celebration, such as picking a flag to wave, the Caribbean influenced foods, dancing, costumes and music.
The Author’s third release, ‘Messages on Dried Leaves‘ is a mild resurrection of the Author’s first poetry book, ‘Obayifo’. This book is a poetic collection of personal notes, texts, emails and voicemails sent to muses of the past.
“A Piece of Black Cake for Santa” was recently published and it is the Author’s second Children’s book. This book illustrates the holidays experience of Femi and her friends, who planned to leave a few traditional Caribbean treats out for Santa, including Black Cake. The Kids shared warm wishes for their favourite dishes, while enjoying winter activities at the Christmas fair.
This Author was a winner of the CIBWE award for Canada’s Top 100 Black women to watch in 2017.
A world traveler, a jazz lover and a devoted Mother, she embodies Art and takes her readers on adventurous, poetic journeys.

About Dip!: Fun, tasty, easy dips made with ingredients you probably have on hand
Everybody loves dip, some of us more than we really should. But there is good news, snackers! Many dips are actually very good for you, so you should feel free to make them whenever you want to take nibbling to the next notch. Some of these dips are even perfectly legitimate meal choices, when paired with a healthy dipping instrument—like whole grain crackers, vegetable spears, or toasted slices of multigrain baguette, for instance. Many of the dips I share here are high in protein and fiber, and rich in nutrients.
Others…not so much. Because I’m not trying to tell you how to live your life.
Each and every dip in these pages has been chosen, tested, and tweaked, and we love them all. I hope you will too!
