Salon Games Duet


Book Description

INVITE ME IN You’re invited inside the most exclusive club in town… Handsome, rich, and charming, Jared Golden brought his Midas touch to Haven Hotel—and created a sinfully decadent playground. When he spots Annabelle at his New Year's Eve party, Jared seduces her with ease. But he never expected to fall under her spell… Annabelle Elder’s life is nowhere near as exciting as the exotic art she collects. A cheating ex-boyfriend and her busy antiques shop have seen to that. When she’s invited to spend New Year’s Eve at a party at the exclusive Haven Hotel, Annabelle plans to indulge herself for one night. She never expected to meet anyone as fascinating as Jared. But when the morning arrives, Annabelle returns to her boring life, determined to forget a certain playboy. Only, Jared isn’t as willing to let that one night be the end of their relationship… RESERVE MY NIGHTS Play by the rules and you'll never get what you deserve... For Tyler Golden, control is king. That attitude helped him and his brother build Haven, a boutique hotel in Philadelphia. The only thing Tyler couldn't control was his fiance's death. He's emotionally guarded and unwilling to love again. A relationship isn't in the cards. Kate Song knows the feeling. Her sole focus is her dream to be a lingerie designer. She's not about to be distracted by any man. No matter who he is. Or how intense. Or how captivating. Or so she thought. Tyler has the power to make her all her dreams come true but should she say yes to a man who wants her to give him everything? Giving her heart and soul might not be possible. Now Tyler may discover that the one woman who taught him to love again is the one woman he might not be able to keep.

Manet Manette


Book Description

Manet, a founding father of modernism, is one of the towering figures of 19th-century art. In this volume, Carol Armstrong looks closely at Manet's works to uncover a view not only of the artist but also of modernity itself. As she places his art within frameworks of colour, the feminine Other (the Manette in Manet), and consumerism, Armstrong seeks to expand and revise our understanding of this artist as a painter of modern life.










Gabriel Fauré

From the Atelier Tovar


Book Description

Guy Maddin is one of Canada's most celebrated and original filmmakers, the director of such delirious films as Tales from the Gimli Hospital, Careful, Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary, The Saddest Music in the World and My Winnipeg. Few know, however, that he is just as gifted a writer, and his resolutely purple prose, as eccentric and enchanting as his film work, is a true delight. From the Atelier Tovar gathers, in one volume, the best of Maddin's writing: his journalism (originally published in the Village Voice, Cinema Scope, Film Comment and points beyond), unpublished short stories and film treatments (including the riotous Child Without Qualities), and selections, both lurid and illuminating, from the filmmaker's personal journals. Here are Maddin's feverish musings on hockey, the Osmonds, divas of the Italian silent cinema, Bollywood, his own twisted biography, and much, much more. What emerges finally is both a fragrant potpourri and a treasure trove, a singular portrait of this very unique artist.
