Alexa Williams lived a simple life. As an athlete and a programmer, she had her troubles and had always pushed through…but this time was different. She definitely was not looking for love, nor was she looking to get mixed up in any ugly dealings, but when they say love is found in hopeless places, this could easily have been what they had in mind.
Forcefully taken away from her home and all that she was familiar with for a dangerous experiment that threatened her life, things couldn’t be more hopeless. And as for love…
Jude was careless with a lot of things, including his finances, and it was this carelessness that led him to the mess in which he now found himself. He needed solutions and he needed money—lots of it and fast. So, when a job as a researcher for a deadly project became his latest opportunity, it was an offer he couldn’t refuse.

My husband Robert Wagner and I had the pleasure of meeting Irene shortly after she married our friend Arny Granat. We were immediately taken by Irene’s spirit and beauty. She and I share much of the same philosophy about aging and life, also horses and dogs. Her well thought out and meticulously researched book is a must for those reaching what used to be called “a woman of a certain age”. One look at Irene dispels that term completely. Thanks to Irene, This book tells us how to experience aging and how to be the best that you can be. What woman could ask for more?

Her spirit comes through on every page, as does the diligence with which she has been a lifelong learner regarding health and wellness. Irene has appreciated longer than most the connection between what you put in your body and what you put on your body, and readers will come away better informed and energized about how to live and be their best selves.”

I’m not sure if there’s a better book for women over 50 looking to improve their skincare routine and cosmetic health. Not only is everything scientifically backed, but it’s also completely safe. Looking your best as the years add up may sound daunting, but trust me, it couldn’t be simpler thanks to Irene. Her expertise in beauty as a model and actress remains, and it’s a wonder why she took all this time to finally write a book.
