Book Description
HE CAME FOR VENGEANCE. HE FINDS HER INSTEAD. Cormac Jareth, the greatest hunter the Dardaptoan vampires have ever seen, wants one thing: Vengeance. For his sister. For the unborn nephew murdered at an evil human's hands. Two thousand Dardaptoans have been victims of Leo Taniss. It's Cormac's life's purpose to make Taniss pay for his sins. Starting with Leo Taniss's granddaughter. And with a blood debt only she can pay… SHE HAS A QUEST OF HER OWN. Dr. Joselyn Taniss has dedicated her life to finding cures for cancer-stricken children. Her work has filled her with purpose, and she was driven to succeed as the new head of Taniss Industries’ Research & Development department. Her future is clear. UNTIL THE VAMPIRE CHANGES EVERYTHING. Cormac will have his revenge from the sweet-looking blonde he finds alone on Taniss property. Until he touches her—and realizes the woman he came to kill is the woman he has been waiting six hundred years to find. NO ONE WILL TOUCH THE MATE DESTINED FOR HIM. But Taniss has more than just Dardaptoan enemies—enemies who see Joselyn as their ticket to revenge, just the same as Cormac once did. Now Cormac has to keep her safe, before even deadlier enemies take his mate away from him. Forever. Previously published in 2013 as LIVE OR DIE, book 3 of the Dardanos Paranormal Romance Series. Now expanded and updated.

Threads of Life
Author: Clare Hunter
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 168335771X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
This globe-spanning history of sewing and embroidery, culture and protest, is “an astonishing feat . . . richly textured and moving” (The Sunday Times, UK). In 1970s Argentina, mothers marched in headscarves embroidered with the names of their “disappeared” children. In Tudor, England, when Mary, Queen of Scots, was under house arrest, her needlework carried her messages to the outside world. From the political propaganda of the Bayeux Tapestry, World War I soldiers coping with PTSD, and the maps sewn by schoolgirls in the New World, to the AIDS quilt, Hmong story clothes, and pink pussyhats, women and men have used the language of sewing to make their voices heard, even in the most desperate of circumstances. Threads of Life is a chronicle of identity, memory, power, and politics told through the stories of needlework. Clare Hunter, master of the craft, threads her own narrative as she takes us over centuries and across continents—from medieval France to contemporary Mexico and the United States, and from a POW camp in Singapore to a family attic in Scotland—to celebrate the universal beauty and power of sewing.
