Inspired by true events, this is the heartwarming story of Moti, a gauti kutra, or Indian local dog, in the days before the Animal Birth Control program was introduced into India, and dogs were regularly and cruelly rounded up and culled in gas chambers.
Hounded and beaten, he is befriended by a young lady and a fellow street dog, who persuasively turns his fear of humans to an abiding trust and love for them.
Told as a first person account by Moti, this book awakens one to the world of dogs as they see them, and brings about the stark differences in the way human beings and animals perceive life, and yet the inevitable similarities and friendships that emerge among all things nature, humans included.
This book will make you smile often, and shed a tear now and then, and leave you looking for the magic lurking always within your own life. Though written for older children, it appeals to the child in every one.
All proceeds from the sale of this book go to the Welfare of Stray Dogs, a registered charity in Mumbai, doing exemplary and stellar work for the animal welfare movement in India and the street dogs of Mumbai in particular.
When Rome transgresses upon his father's domain that lays between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Pacorus, a prince of the Parthian Empire, is sent to exact revenge. After a string of victories Pacorus and his men are captured in Cappadocia, clapped in chains and sent to Italy to live out the rest of their days as slaves. But fate intervenes and Pacorus and his companions are saved from a living hell by a renegade gladiator named Spartacus. In gratitude, Pacorus agrees to help Spartacus build his army as Rome musters its legions to crush the slave uprising. And so begins an epic adventure of glory and savagery played out across the length and breadth of Italy, as Spartacus defeats the armies of Rome and Pacorus leads his horsemen to victory after victory. But will Pacorous and the slave army escape from Italy, and will he win the love of the fierce and proud Gallia before the most powerful man in Rome, Marcus Licinius Crassus, takes the field against Spartacus?
A map of the Parthian Empire at the time of Pacorus (the 1st Century BC) can be found on the maps page of my website: www.peterdarman.com
"Darman has researched this novel extremely well, as one would expect with his military non-fiction background. This detail is meshed with great story telling which flows along with great gusto. Less for the fact that this book is about a Parthian rather than a Roman, I would describe it as a ‘Roman Sharpe’. Darman’s style is similar to and as good as Bernard Cornwell’s, one of my favourite authors."
British Army Rumour Service review, June 2011
For U.S. Navy SEAL, Bowie “Ruckus” Cooper, going on a mission into the most dangerous place on earth wasn’t new, neither were the orders to tag and bag an international criminal, but when Bowie finds a captive American reporter, that wasn’t exactly run of the mill. Neither was getting separated from his team, teaming up with her or protecting her against all odds, while working to keep his hands from around her neck and off her delectable body.
Fearless and bold photojournalist, Dana Sorenson never backed down from a fight or to showcase her dedication to reporting on the human condition. That’s what she thought until she meets Bowie and big, bad, and tough takes on a whole new meaning. Gratitude for saving her ass gets lost in his demanding orders and fighting for her life takes a back seat to falling for this alpha male who’ll risk everything to see her safe.
Three people are hiding secrets. Time is running out. Secrets can’t stay buried forever…
The reclusive millionaire is protecting his motherless young daughter. The last thing he needs is a romantic distraction. His new neighbour is an intrusion. Yet he can’t get her out of his head…
The ruthless celebrity photographer will stop at nothing and never looks back. He’s the fame-hungry darling of reality TV. But past demons are catching up with him and he’s clinging too close to the edge…
The woman has sworn off men forever. Duped and humiliated, she seeks refuge in her dream cottage in the middle of nowhere. But it’s almost derelict, far from the rural idyll she craves. The guy next door is maddening. A single dad, as hostile as he’s hot…
Then tragedy comes snapping at their heels…
The child goes missing. She’s alone in the depths of winter and the three are intent on blaming each other. After all that’s occurred, old hurts run deep and trust is not on the agenda. But they must team up to find her before it’s too late. Unless they bury their toxic past, they’ll squander all hope of a happy-ever-after.

**The first book in the Her Super Spy Trilogy, is is a story of Romantic Suspense, Espionage...and murder.
Falling in love can be hazardous to your health!
Samantha King is a hopeless romantic when it comes to love. On vacation in London, England, she meets Will, a guy that she could really go for. So, when he disappears on her, she just chalks it up to her bad luck. She finds out the next morning the reason he disappeared—he was murdered in the alley behind the pub they met in.
Tom Bridges, a Data Intelligence Officer for the civilian branch of MI5. The murdered man was his friend. Sam King has the stick drive that Will was bringing in—Tom knows it. He’s going to have to keep her safe in order to get it from her. Because the killer knows she has it too. Even if she doesn’t know it.
The attraction between the two is immediate. And platonic, to Sam’s disappointment. All she knows is that if Tom will stop being all business and give her a chance, she might be able to break the romance curse. If they both live that long.

Okay, so taking a golf club to my boss’s precious sports car was probably an overreaction—but damn did it feel good.
However, him showing up to my house to blackmail me into marrying him AFTER he fired me?
WAY out of line.
If there’s one person that can make me hate my very existence,
It’s Matthew Lewis III, my boss from hell.
Imagine the devil’s younger, sexy brother in a three-piece suit.
He’s the kind of man that makes any sort of rational thought go right out the window—which is exactly where I want to throw him.
So when he ripped me a new one for being TWO minutes late,
I lost my shit.
I not only gave him a piece of my mind, I ripped his prissy ass to shreds and marched out with my middle fingers in the air.
Oh, and of course…I destroyed his car.
So now, I either face a felony or pretend for a few short months that I love him.
GAME ON.
