I was happy with my life. And who wouldn’t be? Beautiful women, money, a job that I could sleep through and still make bank. But I was bored. And I never could walk away from a challenge.This challenge turned out to be brunette. Feisty. Just the way I like them. But innocent. Too innocent for me. Too innocent to do anything other than sample and then toss back. Anything more would be too risky, too much work.I was unprepared for Julia Campbell. I should have done my homework, should have looked before jumping off that cliff. Ditching her proved to be problematic, my sexual needs greater than my common sense.She was different. She became more than a challenge.She may just bring my world crashing down. Views: 24

Fangs of
Anarchy- Killing The
Alpha : Part
One—Alpha Down
Irish
McConnell would give his immortality for a taste of Claire Montgomery. But the
Fangs of Anarchy leader can’t risk his biker club, his vampire clan, or his
tenuous truce with werewolf Gannon Dodd, Claire’s pack alpha—and her intended
mate. Nope. Vamps and weres don’t mix, and Irish has managed to keep that in
mind for five long, lust-filled years.
But now
Claire’s gone and done something really, really (really!) bad, guaranteeing her
doom if she’s ever found out. Truce be damned, Irish won’t leave her
unprotected, despite the fact this is one murder-filled bundle of trouble he
doesn’t need.
And
unfortunately for Irish, the trouble’s just beginning…

hair. I don’t know if that’s true or just a rumor, but is it worth the risk?

To celebrate her forthcoming biography of Constance Fenimore Woolson, Anne Boyd Rioux has selected the best of this classic writer's stories.Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894) was one of the few nineteenth-century women writers considered the equal of her male peers. Harper & Brothers was so enamored of her work that the firm agreed to publish whatever she could write. In this gathering, Rioux has chosen fiction over the course of Woolson's life, including "In Sloane Street," never published since it first appeared in Harper's Bazaar. Woolson's stories travel from the rural Midwest to the deep South and then across the Atlantic to Italy and England. Her strong characters and indelible settings provide continuity throughout this collection as do her concerns with passion, creativity, imagination, and the demands of society. Whether portraying the keeper of a Union soldiers' cemetery in the defeated South, a woman writer whose genius goes unrecognized, or the... Views: 24
The meter is running… One night as Rose Crawford steps out of a bar, she gives no second thought to lifting her hand to signal for a cab. After all, it’s the responsible thing to do. A common occurrence. Far safer than walking several blocks, alone, in the dark. A familiar-looking yellow taxi with black, faux-leather seats, running meter on the dash, and a smiling driver pulls up to the curb. Rose slides in. Gives the driver her address… But she never reaches her destination. Instead, she finds herself captive, at the will of a man who isn’t a driver, but a bona fide psychopath. Trapped in a taxi she can’t escape, Rose begins to panic. As the miles between her and safety grow, hope dwindles. It isn’t until someone else joins her in captivity that her spark of hope is rekindled. Derek is strong, capable, and surely together they can fight their way to freedom. Then Rose finds out exactly why she’s been driven into hell. Derek may be an unwilling captive, but he isn’t going to help her. In fact, he’s there to do the exact opposite. Views: 24
