Rambling ruminations, words of wisdom and awesome alliteration from your favorite coyote. An experiment, not so much a 온라인카지노게임 as a stream of consciousness focused on human folly. Please enjoy the silly similes and playful, philosophical, political, provocative, purposeful, and pensive prose, pontifications, parables, philippics and polemics. As with Schrodinger's cat, everything is uncertain until you take a peek. Spoiler, the cat is alive. What happens to the rest of us is the uncertainty.

Something is afoot at Denbury Hall. Samuel Denyer, second son of the duke, can't believe his stepmother's new born son, is his father's child. When Samuel goes missing everyone thinks he is dead. To be woken, chained to the hull of a ship, bound for the slave market in Algiers, is to wake in hell. Samuel's only saviour is a green-eyed girl. A stray found in the woodland of Lytton House. She comes to him each night in his dreams, her whispered words, the only light in his tortured soul. Shay doesn't want to be a lady of the ton. Shay doesn't want to marry. She's a stray and would rather work with Jack, looking after Mrs. Picks' piglets. When Shay returns home from Saint Germaine's Finishing School in Paris, she begs her guardian to allow her to work in the Blue Maids Orphanage for Girls. He has a condition; she must attend the season and be open to marriage. Knocked over by a Bedouin man, with the face of an angel and irises belonging to the devil, Shay can barely breathe, as he stares into her vivid green eyes. Green eyes that have plagued him for three years. A damaged man, an orphan girl. Stolen souls that belong together.
