Book Description
Jack Tragedy strikes, again. Four years after suffering the loss of our parents, our brother is murdered right alongside his beautiful wife, the devastation leaving their three children orphaned. Not only have I lost my brother but now I'm forced to take on his two kids and stepdauther, Penelope. But Pen is far from the little girl I remember. No. She's all woman, with soft curves and plush lips-all things I shouldn't be noticing. I have three months before she leaves for college. And three months to make sure whatever threat against her life has been thwarted. Too bad for me, those three months will be nothing but torture laced with temptation, threatening to break my resolve. Can I come out of this unscathed, or will this lust drag me into the pits of hell where I belong? Penelope Lies, deceit, and death. It's all I've ever known. And trusting someone? Out of the question. Unfortunatley, teenager me didn't get the memo and I stupidly gave my crush-riddled heart to Jack Crown. He was older, wiser, and apparently a manwhore. I was his brother's stepdaughter and way too young. Not on his radar, and justifiably so. But that didn't stop me from falling for the only man who'd ever shown me real affection. No. I let myself trust him, thinking he'd always be there. The one constant in my crappy life. I was wrong.. Now, four years later, tragedy strikes again and by life's irony I've landed on his doorstep with only one thing to prove. I'm not the little girl he remembers, and I sure as hell don't need him anymore. -

I the Supreme
Author: Augusto Roa Bastos
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0525564691
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
I the Supreme imagines a dialogue between the nineteenth-century Paraguayan dictator known as Dr. Francia and Policarpo Patiño, his secretary and only companion. The opening pages present a sign that they had found nailed to the wall of a cathedral, purportedly written by Dr. Francia himself and ordering the execution of all of his servants upon his death. This sign is quickly revealed to be a forgery, which takes leader and secretary into a larger discussion about the nature of truth: “In the light of what Your Eminence says, even the truth appears to be a lie.” Their conversation broadens into an epic journey of the mind, stretching across the colonial history of their nation, filled with surrealist imagery, labyrinthine turns, and footnotes supplied by a mysterious “compiler.” A towering achievement from a foundational author of modern Latin American literature, I the Supreme is a darkly comic, deeply moving meditation on power and its abuse—and on the role of language in making and unmaking whole worlds.
