“No, no, that won’t be necessary. I’m sure everything will be fine. I’ll leave instructions with Osgood to contact you if the need arises. You, of course, know our schedule. I’m sure we can handle anything that may come up. But it might be a good idea if you had someone stop by from time to time.”
“No problem. Oh, by the way, I’m meeting with the DOD boys later this evening to finalize the agreement on the new project.” Mark smiled as he stood and straighten his jacket. “With luck, by next year this time, Weston will be the largest defense contractor in the world.”
Richard laughed and extended his hand. “Congratulations.”
“To us all. Have a pleasant evening.”
Richard watched Mark leave then sat down and stared at the papers Mark had given him. One was a photo of Nikki Morgan. Richard stared at it for a long time, thinking how the still photograph didn’t do justice to the vibrancy and fire he sensed in her. To be that young again, he thought, and then dismissed the idea. Thanks to wealth and power, it wasn’t necessary to be young to win the attention or affection of a young woman. One had only to know the right cards to play.

From Ciana
I've been a reader my entire life, finding solace, excitement, happiness, fear and love in the pages of books. If anything has been a constant in my life, it's reading.
I also remember all the times in my life when being able to buy a book was a luxury, a treat that I didn't get every week. I've never forgotten those times or how much those books meant to me.
That's why I am so grateful to you, the readers. Regardless of your level of income or profession, I understand how precious your reading dollars are and I feel humbled that you've used some of those dollars to purchase my books.
I hope my stories prove worthy of your investment and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Many blessings.
Ciana
