Book Description

"You are the thing that keeps him human. You are what keeps him from madness and darkness. We need you, dearest." The Order of the Blessed is all I have known. I keep my head down and my hair covered. I don’t speak unless spoken to. I follow the rules—mostly. But the clock is ticking. Soon, Father Joshua will name my husband and there isn’t a man here I want to touch me. The last thing I expected was for Father Joshua to choose me for his own. I’m special, he said. I’m wicked. And I need a holy man to keep me from my own wickedness. Now, I must escape. Even though I hardly know what’s beyond these walls. Even if I die out there in the forest. I didn’t expect someone to catch me when I leapt. Especially four someones. Rayner. Silvus. Jie. Thom. They’re the most gorgeous men I’ve ever laid eyes on—and they’re also merciless, vicious vampires. They’ve loved me and pursued me for five hundred years, across every life I’ve lived. And they’re ready to possess me, to show me what love is, even as I’m slow to trust. They will do anything to protect me from the Order of the Blessed—but the Order of the Blessed will do anything to protect me from them. It’s time for me to discover just how special I really am. TAKE ME SLOWLY is a reverse harem romance with some very possessive, obsessive, slightly twisted vampires who will do anything for the woman they love and a damaged heroine who slowly finds her own strength. Did I mention m/m? Vampires get lonely waiting to find their lady. Note: Some scenes of abuse and dark themes.

Book Description

They took my powers from me--for my own good, so they said--and told me not to come back to Merlin College. But you can't get rid of me that easily. After all, I still have the boys on my side. My foxy familiar Firian, tempting incubus Alec, and sexy vampire Montague--and we have an awesome summer planned in Florida. Part of the plan? Trying to get myself enrolled in a rival witch college. Not part of the plan? The part where Harris von Hapsburg Nicolescu, arrogant jerk that he is, follows us to Florida and gets seriously up in my business. And definitely not the part where Harris gets kidnapped and held for ransom by Montague's sire, a five hundred year old vampire who wants to steal Montague away from us forever. So, if we can just keep out of trouble from the vampires and demons who want to steal us away to the dark side, it should be a pretty sweet year of wand-making (wand-making, y'all! #goals), necromancy, sexy times on boats, sexy times in computer games, and some very unexpected allies. BOYS OVER POWERS is a paranormal reverse harem academy romance series with a magical university in a world of witches, warlocks, vampires, incubus demons and fox shifters, among other things, and features plenty of magic, humor, romance and steam.

As the Director of Concierge of the Liberty Building in Tribeca, it's my job to take care of the rich and famous, the billionaire suits, their trophy wives, all the VIPs. It's like running a hotel-but for billionaires. When a penthouse opens up, it's like the floor of the Stock Exchange. The highest bidder wins. And this time, the winner is Deacon Hamilton. He's young and gorgeous...but a tool. He hardly says two words to me, won't even look at me when he speaks and treats me like an imbecile. But the longer I pick up his dry cleaning, deliver his groceries, take care of all the details of his life, the more I realize he's not what he seems. He's just brilliant. Extremely brilliant. A noble prize-winning doctor and researcher, Deacon Hamilton is one of the most gifted men on the planet. But he doesn't know how to talk to people, doesn't know how to communicate, doesn't know how to connect with anyone. Except me.

As a Documentary Film Producer his world wide assignments are all fascinating adventures. His most exciting exploits however occurred in the High Arctic where he worked for 14 years enduring "Bug infested summers" and minus 70 degree winters.

It is history lesson of the "White Man's exploitation of the areas recourses as well as the inhumane treatment they inflicted on the indigenous population. Seen from the Eskimo point of view it is not a comely picture, forced relocations onto barren beaches, hunger and starvation camps, brainwashing by over zealous Christian clerics, unemployment, the dole, drugs, alcohol, suicide, and their struggles to finally achieve governess over their territory, "Nunavut". The book might well be a textbook for young people who have aspirations for careers in the Documentary Motion Picture field. Keeping you equipment going is only half of the battle mere survival is the other half. That is what makes this book a fascinating read.

Book Description

Born in Nicaragua, Rubén Darío is known as the consummate leader of the Modernista movement, an esthetic trend that swept the Americas from Mexico to Argentina at the end of the nineteenth century. Seeking a language and a style that would distinguish the newly emergent nations from the old imperial power of Spain, Darío’s writing offered a refreshingly new vision of the world—an artistic sensibility at once cosmopolitan and connected to the rhythms of nature. The first part of this collection presents Darío’s most significant poems in a bilingual format and organized thematically in the way Darío himself envisioned them. The second part is devoted to Darío’s prose, including short stories, fables, profiles, travel writing, reportage, opinion pieces, and letters. A sweeping biographical introduction by distinguished critic Ilan Stavans places Darío in historical and artistic context, not only in Latin America but in world literature. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
