Book Description
From USA Today Bestseller Grace Callaway Winner of the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery & Suspense National Excellence in Romance Fiction Award Finalist “This story had everything you could ask for, humor, steamy romance, betrayal, and love. If you enjoy reading red hot romances with a good storyline and delightful witty characters, this is a must read!” -Goodreads He's a policeman on a hunt for justice. She's a proud daughter of the London criminal underworld. Danger brings them together...and desire binds them in this steamy enemies to lovers romance. Shattered by betrayal, former scholar Harry Kent has made a new life for himself as a policeman. Sent on a dangerous covert mission, he must protect a clever and wicked beauty who specializes in disguises and mischief. She stands for everything he scorns--and seduces him with every look of her innocent eyes... A princess of London's criminal underworld, Tessa Todd wants to defend her family against cutthroat enemies. Her powerful grandfather, however, insists upon keeping her under lock and key. When she is assigned a stoic and damnably handsome new bodyguard, she resists his dominant ways--and a passionate war of wills begins... Thrown together by crisis, Harry and Tessa will test the bounds of desire, loyalty, and trust. On the run from their foes and from their own hearts, they must find salvation in each other—before time runs out. "I LOVED this book! It took me back to a Johanna Lindsey novel.

Blacks in the Adirondacks
Author: Sally E. Svenson
Publisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 0815654219
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Blacks in the Adirondacks: A History tells the story of the many African Americans who settled in or passed through this rural, mountainous region of northeastern New York State. In the area for a variety of reasons, some were lifetime residents, while others were there for a few years or months—as summer employees, tuberculosis patients, or in connection with full- or part-time occupations in railroading, the performing arts, and baseball. From blacks who settled on land gifted to them by Gerrit Smith, a prosperous landowner and fervent abolitionist, to those who worked as waiters in resort hotels, Svenson chronicles their rich and varied experiences, with an emphasis on the 100 years between 1850 and 1950. Many experienced racism and isolation in their separation from larger black populations; some found a sense of community in the scattered black settlements of the region. In this first definitive history, Svenson gives voice to the many blacks who spent time in the Adirondacks and sheds light on their challenges and successes in this remote region.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
With the wings of evil he shall arise, his power shall be hidden from those most wise. Here to save all mankind, yet not until the end will he himself find. He would need to shed the blood of someone dear, to save the world when catastrophe is near. Only the chosen can defeat the sons and the source, for indeed this is his course. There is a yearning in us all to be a hero, the insatiable call for adventure where we defeat the villains and save the day. But there is also a line that determines what makes us heroes. The same line that questions what we want to do and what must be done. But what if we are not able to differentiate? What if the more we try to beat our demons, the more we realize that we have become them? Brian Bradley understands that there is more to his life than just being a priest; he has the power to save the weak and helpless, but destiny asks him to make a sacrifice he is not ready to. Can he be the hero the world needs? Or will he submit to the demons within
