No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsey delivers a sparkling, passionate tale of an earl's daughter who must convince a mysterious viscount to marry her and end his vendetta against her brother.
One duel could be considered a matter of honour, but three duels are attempted murder. With enlightened society outraged at such reckless behaviour among young noblemen, the Prince Regent orders Robert Whitworth, the earl of Tamdon's heir, and Lord Dominic Wolfe to end their dispute by allying their families through marriage. Whichever party refuses to comply will forfeit his lands and title.
Whitworth relishes the idea of sending his younger sister Brooke to his enemy's remote estate. He knows the Wolf will reject her as a bride, thereby losing his wealth and status. The Wolf, however, is determined to scare away the Whitworth chit. With duelling no longer an available means of destroying the man he abhors, he will be satisfied to see him lose his lands and title. But he hadn't expected his enemy's sister to be so resourceful or resilient.
Brooke Whitworth has been dreaming of her first Season in London because she intends to win a husband who will take her far away from her unloving family. Instead, she is being sent to the Yorkshire moors to wed a mysterious nobleman whose family is cursed and who has thrice tried to kill her brother. But there's no room in her heart for fear; this man is her means of escape. She will make him love her...

I have learned a few things in my life. If you can’t wear clean underwear, don’t wear any at all. Never trust a vampire. Secret ruling councils should generally be avoided. Finally, and this is the most important, very few people are ever what they seem.Some missions are easy. Others are a Catastrophe.I have learned a few things in my life. If you can’t wear clean underwear, don’t wear any at all. Never trust a vampire. Secret ruling councils should generally be avoided. Finally, and this is the most important, very few people are ever what they seem. However, it wasn’t always easy to live by these rules. Like, when said secret ruling council demanded my appearance and then did the worst thing they could possible do and inflamed my curiosity. Asking me to go to New Orleans to investigate a series of werewolf attacks, I couldn’t possibly say no to that. The first problem was werewolves had been eliminated from the Abyss so it was impossible that they were killing anyone. The second fiasco was that more vampires were in this city than ever before, including the one who was intent on ruining my life. And the third complication was I couldn’t tell anyone else about my mission or I would forfeit my freedom to the council.Some missions are easy. Others are a Catastrophe. Views: 856

First her body goes missing, then her finger ...Sometimes plans carry out without a hitch, and sometimes nothing in a plan goes right, as is the case for Homicide Detective Jonah Leedes this particular night....Sometimes plans carry out without a hitch, and sometimes nothing in a plan goes right, as is the case for Homicide Detective Jonah Leedes this particular night....Homicide Detective Jonah Leedes arranges a romantic rendezvous with his wife at a posh hotel. A minute into their interlude, Jonah receives a call to investigate a possible homicide, coincidentally in the room next to his at The Spartacus. Seconds later, the hospital notifies his wife of an accident involving a city transit bus and a car. Several people have been seriously injured and hospital staff were to report to emergency immediately. Jonah and Olivia part in the hotel hallway outside their room with a promise to pick up later where they'd left off. He enters the murder scene, finds the murderer -- the victim's wife -- still in the room, makes the arrest and considers the case open and shut, until the Doc arrives and pronounces that the victim died two hours before the wife arrived on the scene. Just then, Jonah receives a call from a fellow police officer stating that his sister-in-law Charlotte Armstrong was a passenger on a city transit bus that collided into the pumps of U-Serve Gas on Fifth Avenue. There was a glitch, though. Her body has disappeared. Charlotte Armstrong, a high-strung outspoken woman with a bent toward revenge, unwittingly latches onto the back of Semiazas, a demon of Mephistopheles, when he appears on the accident scene to escort the bus driver's soul to Hades. Now, the devil has her but doesn't want her. Semiazas, on Mephistopheles' order, attempts to show Charlotte the way through the portal to the land of the living -- a task easier to issue than carry out. Views: 855

The Fan Man is a comic novel published in 1974 by the American writer William Kotzwinkle. It's told in the 1st-person by the narrator, Horse Badorties, a down-at-the-heels hippie living a life of drug-fueled befuddlement in New York City c. 1970. The book is written in a colorful, vernacular "hippie-speak" & tells the story of the main character's hapless attempts to put together a benefit concert featuring his own hand-picked choir of 15-year-old girls.
Horse is a somewhat tragic, tho historically humorous, character with echoes of other famous characters in popular culture such as Reverend Jim Ignatowski of Taxi fame. In his inability to follow anything thru to completion he displays symptoms of attention-deficit disorder tho this could equally be drug-induced. His defining characteristic is his joy in renting or commandeering apartments which he fills with street-scavenged junk articles until full to bursting he moves on to his next "pad". The name "fan man" is a reference to another of his traits; the collecting of fans of all shapes & sizes. Views: 855
