Thankfully, the rider, a cute guy named Thomas, isn’t hurt, but just to be safe Milo takes him home for some magical healing that soon turns into something more. Though Milo is sure he’s finally found love with Thomas, he has no idea that Thomas is looking for something much different…or that the bike collision was no accident at all.Meanwhile, Milo’s older brother Jules Hawthorn is intrigued when his longtime rival in the mage community, Roman Agostino, enlists his help in solving a strange magic-based attack in downtown Warlock’s Cove. He’s not surprised when he and Roman have completely different opinions about the case. After all, their families have been feuding for centuries. What he’s totally unprepared for are the strong emotions that grip him as he and Roman work together. Though the slightest distraction from the business at hand could place all of Warlock's Cove in danger, ignoring their growing passion might destroy Jules and Roman instead. Views: 498
It’s freshman year, and Lexi’s never felt more nauseous. Thanks to the change that took place over the summer, the one with the sprout of legs and boobs, she doesn’t feel comfortable in her skin. Lexi’s always been wild and free, until she becomes insecure about how the boys at school will perceive the changes in her body.Lexi lives with her cousin Trevor.

Trevor’s a free bird if there ever was free bird. He’s always telling Lexi how they’re too young to settle because ther’re too many wild and pretty things out there. It’s freshman year, and Lexi’s never felt more nauseous. Thanks to the change that took place over the summer, the one with the sprout of legs and boobs, she doesn’t feel comfortable in her skin. Lexi’s always been wild and free, until she becomes insecure about how the boys at school will perceive the changes in her body.Lexi’s first day starts out as a mess and Trevor seems to be going out of his way to embarrass her. Whether he realizes it or not, it’s not cool to put your cousin on blast for wearing Ninja Turtle underwear, especially not in front of his hot friend. Blake’s the prettiest wild thing Lexi’s ever seen. His eyes are the color of the sky caught in a storm, a girl could get lost in eyes like that. Blake coins her with a lousy nickname that makes her feel bad about herself. Lexi accepts that Blake’s out of her league and moves on.It’s hard for Lexi to move on when her best friend and Blake become an item. Now Lexi’s down in the dumps, at her lowest of lows. Everything changes when Trevor throws a party. Lexi meets Evan, he’s sweet with dimples and eyes of velvet, a girl could get lost in eyes like that. The party’s epic, the party’s a mess. It’s a night full of firsts and regrets. Blake gives Lexi her first kiss in a harmless game of spin the bottle. After the kiss Blake starts to show interest in Lexi, but he’s still with her best friend and she’s still with Evan. Always divided in two, like most 15-yearold’s, Lexi finds herself constantly confused about what’s right or wrong. She loves the boy with the eyes of velvet, but she can’t stop thinking about the boy with a storm in his eyes. Lexi finds there’s something to Trevor’s logic when it comes to all the wild and pretty things. Like sometimes, boys are the wildest kind of pretty; the kind that are all wrong for you, but you fall for them anyways. Those boys are nothing but distractions, but sometimes a distraction is what you need. Views: 497

A mix of fantasy and reality force him to choose his way or a new way. But will he apply what he has learned to his own life or was it just a meaningless illusion?How many of us wouldn't want the opportunity to ask God why he took a loved one or what is the meaning of life? What if you got your answers and realized that they are far simpler than you ever imagined. How would you use that information? For one man, Nathan Foster, his anger, depression and frustration have lead him on a miraculous journey to find out who he is and who he is meant to be; by getting face to face with the only one with the answers he needs. He will have to leave his old life behind and begin a new one, but that means learning to let go of his depression and anger. American author, K.T.Martina has resisted tired old cliche's by taking a new look at his own beliefs which has birthed a new novel about being more than who you thought you were, and becoming the kind of person that doesn't just survive life, but finally begins to live with a purpose. I do not recommend for readers under 16 due to some violence. Views: 497
England. 1800s.
The family of a young Royal Navy officer killed in action on a mission to capture a French privateer in 1798 install a memorial tablet in their church to commemorate his life and service to King and country.
Lieutenant Oliver Anson, a distant relative of the illustrious circumnavigator George Anson and the younger son of a Kent clergyman, led the raid bidding to capture the gun brig Égalité hiding in a small Normandy harbour.
But when it all goes wrong, Anson is felled by a musket ball in the head and is among the dead and wounded left ashore after his shipmates seek the refuge of their ship HMS Phryne.
Only – and despite official newspaper reports to the contrary – the less-than-god-fearing Anson turns out not to be dead at all but very much alive, and stuns even fellow seamen with his miraculous resurrection.
It is, however, far from plain sailing for the prisoners to escape from behind enemy lines and get back across the Channel.
And the resourceful and ambitious Anson is then dealt a hammer blow by the admiralty when he is later denied a new sea-going appointment.
Instead his future is to be an unattractive-looking, land-based role with the Sea Fencibles – tasked with foiling any potential French invasion attempt along the Kent coastline.
Perhaps worse, sea rover Anson finds himself falling into the clutches of a local bigwig’s voluptuous and determined daughter who is desperate to find a husband…
The Normandy Privateer charts the ups and downs of Lieutenant Anson and shines a poignant light on the loneliness and responsibilities of command.
