Jessica and Rosalind have had a BFF Chip since 7th grade--the ultimate best friend favor. At age 25, Ros calls in her chip. Her brother lands in an hour. And he needs a place to crash. For more than one night. No problem, right? It's not Patrick's fault his big sister forgot he was moving to L.A., so Jess picks him up at LAX, expecting the same slight and nerdy boy she last saw in high school. Patrick's still a nerd--coming for a new IT job--but he's all grown up and more gorgeous than any best friend's little brother has a right to be. Jess makes a concerted effort to see him as a friend, but it's difficult when he walks around her apartment in only a towel. When Ros completely bails on them, Jess proposes pooling their money into a two-bedroom and officially becoming roommates. Patrick is polite, sweet, clean, and cooks. What could go wrong? Jess could fall in love with him. This story is intended for readers over the age of 18 due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.** Views: 24
Separating historical fact from fantasy, an acclaimed historian retells the story of Kishinev, a riot that transformed the course of twentieth-century Jewish history.So shattering were the aftereffects of Kishinev, the rampage that broke out in late-Tsarist Russia in April 1903, that one historian remarked that it was "nothing less than a prototype for the Holocaust itself." In three days of violence, 49 Jews were killed and 600 raped or wounded, while more than 1,000 Jewish-owned houses and stores were ransacked and destroyed. Recounted in lurid detail by newspapers throughout the Western world, and covered sensationally by America's Hearst press, the pre-Easter attacks seized the imagination of an international public, quickly becoming the prototype for what would become known as a "pogrom," and providing the impetus for efforts as varied as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and the NAACP. Using new evidence culled from Russia, Israel, and Europe, distinguished... Views: 24

Piper MitchellApril 25th was the day I was born.It was also the day I died.Blood
was still rushing through my veins. Oxygen was still saturating my
cells. But for all intents and purposes, I ceased to be among the
living.Going back to New York for my sister's wedding was a mistake, but I made her a promise.It would be a quick trip. Show up, say the right words, then I'd be gone. This time for good.I didn't think anyone could understand what was taken from me that fateful day.Not until I met him.Mason LawrenceI threw a football in front of eighty thousand people.Mingling with the rich and famous was just another part of my job.Nothing made me nervous.Not until she walked off that plane and into my life.She

branded into her flesh. Because if she got back on that plane, I knew it
would be forever. Views: 24
