Can an earl train the woman of his dreams to become the perfect bride…for another man? When Kit Ramsey, the new earl of Kilgannon, arrives in Ireland to lay claim to his inheritance, the villagers believe the young nobleman is the miracle they’ve been praying for. But Kit isn’t interested in being anybody’s hero. All he wants is the chance to become his own man. But titles come with duty, and Kit quickly learns he hasn’t just inherited an earldom and a castle, but the guardianship of Mariah Shaughnessy, the spirited and beautiful baker of Inismorn…the beautiful baker he must teach to be a proper lady…and the perfect wife... Fresh out of a convent, Mariah knows the dashing Lord Ramsey is Inismorn’s last hope for survival. She accepts Kit’s lessons in social graces—not because she wants to become the wife of another—but because she dreams of becoming the love of Kit Ramsey’s life… Book 2 of the “Mistresses of the Marquess” Series, which includes ONCE A MISTRESS, ALWAYS A LADY and EVER A PRINCESS “Sparkling romance and passion that sizzles!”—Christina Dodd, New York Times bestseller “Tender, enthralling romance straight from the heart!”—Eloisa James, New York Times bestselling author “Every Rebecca Hagan Lee book is a tender treasure!

Book Description
From New York Times bestselling author Sharon Sala. Sometimes running away takes you right where you’re meant to be… After being dumped by her fiancé in the wake of a terrible accident, Lily Brownfield needs a change. So she decides to leave LA behind to move to Oklahoma and cook for the cowboys of the Longren Ranch. It seems like perfect place to hide. A place to nurse her sorrows in private. Then she meets Case Longren, a giant of a man in a black Stetson standing tall beneath the hot prairie sun. Case sees not only the outward scar the accident had left but the deep inner scars she tries to hide—and this makes Lily want to avoid him at all costs. At first Case doesn’t understand why such a beautiful woman would leave the city to cook for two dozen dusty ranch hands in the middle of nowhere. To get to the bottom of this mystery, he’ll have to unearth the secrets behind Lily’s scars. But the more he learns, the more he wants to help her in whatever ways he can—even if that means losing her back to the big city.

The book entitled Mouridism: Iman, Islam and Ihsan is a compilation and synthesis of the teachings of Shaykh Ahmad Bamba who also goes by the names of Khadim Rasoul (Servant of the Prophet) and Serigne Touba (Master of Touba) that have been gathered together from a variety of his works. This is an introduction to his writings and the beginning lessons for initiation upon his path. Khadim Rasoul explains the three (3) Pillars of the Mouride Way (Mouridism) as Faith in the Oneness of ALLAH (Iman by Tawheed), Submission to the Recommendation of Islam (Islam by Fiqh) and Perfection through Initiation (Ihsan by Tasawwuf). The finality of this 3 fold path is the FACE of ALLAH. The origin of the path of Khadim Rasoul begins during the time of the Hijra of the Prophet Mohammed, Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH) and it still exists today. It is the esoteric path of the Muslim, Mumeen and Muhsan, wherever they may be. This path came into West Africa through the teachings of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani, Shaykh Abu Hasan Shadhili and Shaykh Ahmad Tijani, may Allah be pleased with all of them Abdallah FAHMI

Book Description
PREFACE "The Portrait of a Lady" was, like "Roderick Hudson," begun in Florence, during three months spent there in the spring of 1879. Like "Roderick" and like "The American," it had been designed for publication in "The Atlantic Monthly," where it began to appear in 1880. It differed from its two predecessors, however, in finding a course also open to it, from month to month, in "Macmillan's Magazine"; which was to be for me one of the last occasions of simultaneous "serialisation" in the two countries that the changing conditions of literary intercourse between England and the United States had up to then left unaltered. It is a long novel, and I was long in writing it; I remember being again much occupied with it, the following year, during a stay of several weeks made in Venice. I had rooms on Riva Schiavoni, at the top of a house near the passage leading off to San Zaccaria; the waterside life, the wondrous lagoon spread before me, and the ceaseless human chatter of Venice came in at my windows, to which I seem to myself to have been constantly driven, in the fruitless fidget of composition, as if to see whether, out in the blue channel, the ship of some right suggestion, of some better phrase, of the next happy twist of my subject, the next true touch for my canvas, mightn't come into sight. But I recall vividly enough that the response most elicited, in general, to these restless appeals was the rather grim admonition that romantic and historic sites, such as the land of Italy abounds in, offer the artist a questionable aid to concentration when they themselves are not to be the subject of it. They are too rich in their own life and too charged with their own meanings merely to help him out with a lame phrase; they draw him away from his small question to their own greater ones; so that, after a little, he feels, while thus yearning toward them in his difficulty, as if he were asking an army of glorious veterans to help him to arrest a peddler who has given him the wrong change.

Book Description
A charming reminder of what it takes to be an exemplary woman—someone who is mindful of the effect she has on others and knows how to breeze through an awkward conversation with poise. Of all the women you know, how many of them would you describe as “a lady”? Naturally, you know women who are kind and intelligent, witty and resourceful; but a lady is an altogether different variety of female. She’s mindful of the effect she has on those around her, and she’s careful not to let her words or appearance betray her true intentions. How to Be a Lady is a charming reminder of what it takes to be an exemplary woman—someone who knows how to breeze through an awkward conversation with poise, or delicately sidestep the beauty salon gossip. Candace Simpson-Giles delivers a delightful refresher course on what it means to be a lady among women.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The hosts of the popular podcast and E! show LadyGang offer a relatable, empowering, and hilarious take on being unapologetically yourself (even if that's not always your best self) in a manifesto that redefines womanhood for the twenty-first-century lady. If you're tired of being bombarded with the curated perfection on social media and you're starving for something raw, honest, and a little bit messy, welcome to the LadyGang. Keltie, Becca, and Jac are here to clear away the bullshit and give you the confidence to live your best lady life. Unabashedly sincere, clever, and full of questionable advice, Act Like a Lady explores the complexities surrounding topics like body image, breakups, navigating a career, and adult friendships through their own embarrassing experiences. The LadyGang has your back with essays like "Maybe She's Born with It, Maybe It's Photoshop" and "If You're Happy and You Know It, Thank Your Ex." You'll learn there's a million different ways to be a lady--and that includes accidentally farting during sex or having the guts to tell your friend she's being a selfish assh*le. No matter what you're going through, you'll find a space to bond over the sloppy, heartbreaking, joyous, and often ridiculous realities of womanhood. Nothing is TMI here.
