The Essential J. Kenner 9-Book Bundle


Book Description

The world of New York Times bestselling author J. Kenner is at your fingertips! This essential ebook bundle compiles three of her sensational trilogies: The Stark Trilogy, featuring Damien Stark, a powerful man who’s used to getting his way; the Most Wanted series, starring a trio of captivating alpha males; and the Stark International Trilogy, which introduces the notorious and alluring Jackson Steele. That’s nine novels full of dominant bad boys, decadent seduction, and steamy thrills—as only J. Kenner could imagine them. Also includes a preview of the first book in J. Kenner’s hotly anticipated new trilogy, Dirtiest Secret! The Stark Trilogy: RELEASE ME | CLAIM ME | COMPLETE ME He was the one man I couldn’t avoid. And the one man I couldn’t resist. Damien Stark could have his way with any woman. He was sexy, confident, and commanding: Anything he wanted, he got. And what he wanted was me. Our attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as I ached to be his, I feared the pressures of his demands. Submitting to Damien meant I had to bare the darkest truth about my past—and risk breaking us apart. But Damien was haunted, too. And as our passion came to obsess us both, his secrets threatened to destroy him—and us. Forever. The Most Wanted Series: WANTED | HEATED | IGNITED Three men, three seductive novels: Evan Black embodies her every fantasy: brilliant, fierce, devastatingly handsome—and burdened with secrets. But there are some temptations she just can’t fight. Tyler Sharp always gets what he wants. She thought she was the one woman strong enough to resist him, but one touch and she was hooked, one night and she became his. Cole August promised to take her as far as she could go—and she wanted to go to the edge. Not many women can handle his past, but something about him beckons her to play the game of desire. The Stark International Trilogy: SAY MY NAME | ON MY KNEES | UNDER MY SKIN I never let anyone get too close—but he’s the only man who’s ever made me feel alive. Meeting Jackson Steele was a shock to my senses. Confident and commanding, he could take charge of any room . . . or any woman. And Jackson wanted me. The mere sight of him took my breath away, and his touch made me break all my rules. Our bond was immediate, our passion untamed. I wanted to surrender completely to his kiss, but I couldn’t risk his knowing the truth about my past. Yet Jackson carried secrets too, and in our desire we found our escape, pushing our boundaries as far as they could go. Learning to trust is never easy. In my mind, I knew I should run. But in my heart, I never felt a fire this strong—and it could either save me or scorch me forever. Praise for the novels of J. Kenner “Kenner may very well have cornered the market on sinfully attractive, dominant antiheroes and the women who swoon for them.”—RT Book Reviews “[An] immensely satisfying series . . . The roller coaster events of Complete Me give this novel a page-turning quality.”—Heroes and Heartbreakers “A steamy story with a dark edge. Recommended for those seeking crime drama with spice.”—Library Journal, on Heated “Red-hot and angsty . . . Kenner keeps readers guessing.”—Publishers Weekly, on Under My Skin This eBook bundle is intended for mature audiences.




This Light of Ours


Book Description

This Light of Ours: Activist Photographers of the Civil Rights Movement is a paradigm-shifting publication that presents the Civil Rights Movement through the work of nine photographers who participated in the movement as activists with SNCC, SCLC, and CORE. Unlike images produced by photojournalists, who covered breaking news events, these photographers lived within the movement—primarily within the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) framework—and documented its activities by focusing on the student activists and local people who together made it happen. The core of the book is a selection of 150 black-and-white photographs, representing the work of photographers Bob Adelman, George Ballis, Bob Fitch, Bob Fletcher, Matt Herron, David Prince, Herbert Randall, Maria Varela, and Tamio Wakayama. Images are grouped around four movement themes and convey SNCC's organizing strategies, resolve in the face of violence, impact on local and national politics, and influence on the nation's consciousness. The photographs and texts of This Light of Ours remind us that the movement was a battleground, that the battle was successfully fought by thousands of “ordinary” Americans among whom were the nation's courageous youth, and that the movement's moral vision and impact continue to shape our lives.
