For the first time New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice writes as C. Travis Rice. Under his new pen name, Rice offers tales of passion, intrigue, and steamy romance between men. The first novel, SAPPHIRE SUNSET, transports you to a beautiful luxury resort on the sparkling Southern California coast where strong-willed heroes release the shame that blocks their heart's desires. Logan Murdoch is a fighter, a survivor, and a provider. When he leaves a distinguished career in the Marine Corps to work security at a luxury beachfront resort, he's got one objective: pay his father's mounting medical bills. That means Connor Harcourt, the irresistibly handsome scion of the wealthy family that owns Sapphire Cove, is strictly off limits, despite his sassy swagger and beautiful blue eyes. Logan's life is all about sacrifices; Connor is privilege personified. But temptation is a beast that demands to be fed, and a furtive kiss ignites instant passion, forcing Logan to slam the brakes. Hard. Haunted by their frustrated attraction, the two men find themselves hurled back together when a headline-making scandal threatens to ruin the resort they both love. This time, there's no easy escape from the magnetic pull of their white hot desire. Will saving Sapphire Cove help forge the union they crave, or will it drive them apart once more?

This is a succinct, lucid and highly-readable introduction to the life and revolutionary career of Vladimir Ilych Lenin, one of the most influential political figures of the 20th century.Dr Rice's book focuses on Lenin's long political apprenticeship in the revolutionary underground and the convoluted road to power. Drawing on the testimony of family, friends and close associates Dr Rice's portrait of Lenin reveals him to be at times testy, mischievous, demanding and often belligerent; yet the people who knew him best never doubted his selfless commitment to pursuing a vision of the world where ordinary men and women would one day live free from exploitation. 'Dizzy with success' after seizing power in October 1917, Lenin and the Bolsheviks soon discovered the political realities of precipitous economic breakdown, bloody civil war, foreign intervention and revolutionary infighting. Ultimately the strain proved too much for the Soviet leader who became incapacitated by illness and tortured by developments within the party which he abhorred but could not prevent.
