She needs a man's help to protect her secret identity. She doesn't need to fall in love. Can he help without drawing her into his own tangled web? London inventor Mr. Cullen is actually Miss Cassandra Cullen, happy hiding behind her letters. When some new customers want to meet face to face, she has to trust Dr. Burke, her favorite correspondent, to help keep her secrets. Trusting Oliver Burke might not be entirely wise. Dr. Burke occupies himself with women and gin, trying to forget his soul-crushing family and the nightmares of the war. He'd rather distance himself from polite society as much as possible. One too many indiscretions, and Cass' father insists: Marry. Now. Nothing less than an earl will do. He doesn't realize his mostly deaf daughter will turn for help to the one man she thinks she knows. Can a woman who's given up on love and a man who's given up on hope find a future together?

Miraculous Survival after Dying Twice

Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree, a Master of Business Administration degree, and a juris doctorate degree. I was an extremely successful civil trial attorney for thirteen years and won several of the largest civil cases in the United States. I was in a horrendous motorcycle accident on June 30, 1995. I suffered severe traumatic brain injury, serious bloody abrasions and damage to the entire left side of my face, many broken bones, and injured internal organs. I was in a coma. I died a second time on September 20, 2019. My eyes were glazed in an upward direction. I vomited uncontrollably and suffered a grand mal seizure. In the twenty-five-year period between my two deaths, I considered and analyzed incessantly what was the CreatoraEUR(tm)s plan for humanity, the impact that the exercise of free will have on a human after life on earth, how people should treat others in a myriad of circumstances, and many other topics. It is my belief that I may have more intense feelings on these subjects after my two deaths and intense evaluations. My opinions are provided in this book.

Pages : 274
Book Description
It is only in childhood that books have any deep influence on our lives--Graham Greene The luminous books of our childhood will remain the luminous books of our lives.--Joyce Carol Oates Writers, as they often attest, are deeply influenced by their childhood reading. Salman Rushdie, for example, has said that The Wizard of Oz made a writer of me. Twice-Told Tales is a collection of essays on the way the works of adult writers have been influenced by their childhood reading. This fascinating volume includes theoretical essays on Salman Rushdie and the Oz books, Beauty and the Beast retold as Jane Eyre, the childhood reading of Jorge Luis Borges, and the remnants of nursery rhymes in Sylvia Plath's poetry. It is supplemented with a number of brief commentaries on children's books by major creative writers, including Maxine Hong Kingston and Maxine Kumin.
