Mr. Beethoven
Author: Paul Griffiths
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 168137580X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
Shortlisted for the 2020 Goldsmiths Prize Based on the German composer's own correspondence, this inventive, counterfactual work of historical fiction imagines Beethoven traveling to America to write an oratorio based on the Book of Job. It is a matter of historical record that in 1823 the Handel and Haydn Society of Boston (active to this day) sought to commission Beethoven to write an oratorio. The premise of Paul Griffiths’s ingenious novel is that Beethoven accepted the commission and traveled to the United States to oversee its first performance. Griffiths grants the composer a few extra years of life and, starting with his voyage across the Atlantic and entry into Boston Harbor, chronicles his adventures and misadventures in a new world in which, great man though he is, he finds himself a new man. Relying entirely on historically attested possibilities to develop the plot, Griffiths shows Beethoven learning a form of sign language, struggling to rein in the uncertain inspiration of Reverend Ballou (his designated librettist), and finding a kindred spirit in the widowed Mrs. Hill, all the while keeping his hosts guessing as to whether he will come through with his promised composition. (And just what, the reader also wonders, will this new piece by Beethoven turn out to be?) The book that emerges is an improvisation, as virtuosic as it is delicate, on a historical theme.

Book Description
One day, my boyfriend Sam dumps me out of the blue. Heartbroken, I get drunk at a bar, and in my state of intoxication, I write an email to Sam's dad asking him if he'll help me get back at his son by letting me get under him. Even worse? Sam's dad is the CEO of O'Connell, Thompson, and Taylor Enterprises, the company where I work... A standalone story in the OTT Enterprises series featuring alpha male businessmen and the women they want to make theirs! WORD COUNT: 8,700 Excerpt: My mouth turns dry when Mr. Marshall lowers his blinds and closes the door to his office. He gestures toward one of the red sofas. "Have a seat, Lina." I sit down. To my surprise, he sits down next to me–like, right next to me. My heart threatens to jump out of my chest as his cologne fills my nostrils. It smells like a forest with sweet, intoxicating fruit. My face turns as red as the sofa when he pulls out a hard copy of my email. "So my son broke up with you for some…" He narrows his eyes at the piece of paper. "'Blond big-boobed trollop.'" "Oh, no!" When he raises his eyebrows, I amend, "Well, he did break up with me and told me he's been cheating on me. But I don't know if he cheated on me with, um, a blond woman." Mr. Marshall frowns. "He's been cheating on you? I didn't think my son would do that to you." A bitter-sounding laugh escapes me. "Yeah, well, I didn't think he would do that to me either." My eyes study my hands as I twist them. "I'm sorry for sending you that email. I was, well, not in the best state of mind." A euphemism for really freaking wasted. "However, I know that's no excuse for such unprofessional behavior." When he doesn't say anything for a moment, I lift my gaze from my hands. There is an inscrutable expression on his face. Is he going to accept my apology and keep me employed? Or is he going to fire me and have me escorted off the property? He taps the piece of paper. "Did you mean what you wrote?" "Um, what?" He gets even closer to me. I catch my breath when his thigh brushes against mine. "Did you mean it when you said you'll do anything I want in bed?"

Book Description
After a night of drinking way too much, I wake up in a handsome stranger's bed. Less than an hour later, the stranger walks into my Calculus class and says, "Hi, I'm Professor McCarthy." It's going to be a fun semester... Professor is a standalone story in the Alpha Male U series. It features—you guessed it—a hot alpha male, the student he's determined to claim for his own, instalove, and a HEA! WORD COUNT: 11,000 Excerpt: Belatedly, I wonder if he's one of those creepy professors who prey on students. Selma would have told me if she heard any rumors, but McCarthy could be good at keeping his activities under wraps. "Do you do this a lot?" I blurt out. "Do what? Hang out at local coffee shops? Well, of course. I'm a big believer in supporting small businesses." "You know that's not what I'm asking. Do you hit on a lot of your students?" "I've never been inappropriate with a student. I value professionalism, and that would be wrong." He focuses his blue eyes on me. There's so much heat in his gaze that I feel like it could burn me. "But with you, I can't help wanting to do the wrong thing." I shiver, telling myself that it's because of the cold matcha latte. "Professor — " "Call me Landon." "Landon." His first name feels like a naughty word on my tongue. "You're my professor. I'm your student." "Thank you for stating obvious facts." I glare at him. "I'm stating the obvious because you're acting like you don't understand the obvious." "Go to dinner with me." Oh, for the love of Christ. "Professor — " "I told you to call me Landon." "Whether I call you Landon or Professor, I can't go to dinner with you. Besides, I have to go home and study." "I can help you study." Lust courses through my blood at the idea of a private tutoring session with Landon/Professor McCarthy. Additional keywords: Asian heroine, interracial romance, college romance

Book Description
My first theft went a little like this... I just wanted to steal one bag of chips. Instead, I end up stealing the heart of a handsome millionaire... WORD COUNT: 4,100 Excerpt: My pulse races. How do I get out of this? It’s not like I can fight off the man. He is way taller than me and appears to be hiding a muscular body in his gray suit. And he is good-looking, which is completely irrelevant, but I’m not blind. Silky brown hair, intense violet eyes that could undress you with ease and you would like it, and a jawline that you could cut stone on. “Um…hey, what’s that?” I point. Lame, I know, but it works in the movies. Of course, he doesn’t fall for it. “Do I look like an idiot?” I give him my best puppy dog eyes. Maybe I can appeal to this rich guy’s heart. If he has a heart. “I’m hungry.” He rolls his eyes. “Nice try. I own this store. Do you think I would be able to make a living if I let every hobo take free food from me?” “I don’t know, but it’d make you a really nice person.” His eyes are cold. “I’d rather be rich, thanks.” My voice is small. “Please, I need to eat.” “I should drag you to the police station.” Does this guy not have a soul? Well, I guess you have to be soulless if you’re charging people 7 dollars for a bag of chips. “Um…” Panicking and desperate, I pull him in for a kiss. He freezes instead of pushing me away. When he starts kissing me back and tries to wrap his arms around me, I jump away from him and run as fast as I can.
