Book Description
Stealing objects for supernatural clients is my bread and butter. Murder? Not so much. As a phoenix, I’m used to burning hot and rising from the ashes. That’s why I chose to make my living as a world-class thief. Some say it’s dangerous. I call it fun. Or it is until someone beats me to my latest mark, stealing the prize and killing a fae duke in the process. To add insult to injury, I get blamed for the gruesome murder. With my freedom on the line, I’ve got three options. One, confess my failure and spend a few centuries as the caged pet of my sadistic, bloodsucking client. Nope. Two, take the blame and let the hotter-than-hell grim reaper take me to jail. Also a hard nope, unless he sweetens the deal with an offer to burn up the sheets. Is it any wonder I choose door number three? I’ve got to find the real killer, steal back the goods, and remind everyone how I got my reputation as the world’s best “acquirer” in the first place. There’s just one problem. That sexier-than-sin grim reaper I mentioned? He’s determined to see me go down. Discover the thrill of the chase and the excitement of the supernatural in this bestselling urban fantasy series, full of danger, slow-burn romance, and a strong-willed phoenix who won't back down. With twists and turns at every corner, you won't be able to put this book down. Start the series today!

I’m in Hell, but some witch I know calls it Arizona. At least Tucson’s an excellent place to hide from the hefty bounty on my head, now that the entire supernatural Community knows I’m the last phoenix. Catching me comes with a set-for-life kind of price tag. I don’t blame the bounty hunters; business is business after all. But I’m beyond pissed at the maniacal mage who outed me and caused this whole mess. Trouble seems to find me wherever I go, though. Only a month into my desert exile, a grim reaper shows up and dies on my doorstep. The necromancers are trying something new, and if they get their hands on me and my resurrection ability, both the human and the fae world will be facing a mad man’s terrifying reign. Oh, and did I mention I’m being stalked? Fans of Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunters, Ilona Andrews’s Hidden Legacy, or Seanan McGuire’s InCryptid series will find The Last Phoenix a delightful new addition to the Urban Fantasy genre. Continue the adventure today! WINGS OF WINTER is the 3rd book of 7 in The Last Phoenix, an urban fantasy series containing fast-paced action, snarky humor, other realm travel, a variety of shifters, a hearty dose of swearing, and a splash of slow-burn fated mates romance.

Book Description
America is caught in the lethal center of an unwinnable two-front war -- in this gripping and explosive thriller from the master of geopolitical intrigue . . . The war on terrorism has borne bitter fruit, as the radical Islamic states forge an unholy alliance with a surging China, aiming for total control of the Middle East's vast oil reserves and the strategic Strait of Malacca. As a new axis of world power simultaneously launches a devastating double-pronged conflict -- one a depleted American military cannot possibly win -- President Maddy Turner, the first woman ever to occupy the Oval Office, must react swiftly to a global crisis of world-altering proportions. And so she turns to the only man she can trust in the brutal snake pit of Beltway politics: Brigadier General Matt Pontowski. A brilliant flyer and military tactician, and the intimate confidant of the most powerful woman on Earth, he must now undertake a mission at once bold and extraordinary -- and potentially suicidal -- as a desperate nation confronts Armageddon, and its leader approaches what will be either her finest hour . . . or her most tragic mistake.

Book Description
Following a maniacal fae mage through a portal to who-the-hell-knows-where may not have been the smartest idea. I'm a go-with-the-flow kind of gal, so I make the most of it. Until that werewolf bite on my leg has other ideas. When I finally wake from my fever dreams, I find out I'm not in Miami anymore. In fact, I'm not in the human world at all. Holy shit. The people who've taken me underwing are part of a rebellion against the realm's false queen, a woman who drove out and most likely murdered the entire royal family. I'm pretty impartial to all the politics, but the leader of the rebellion is giving Thane a run for his money on the hotness scale. And unlike the grim reaper, who I'm so unfortunately attracted to on a cosmic level, this new guy is very much alive. None of that will matter if I don't help rescue my new friend Ivan from the mages' clutches. Failing to do so means I may be stuck here... Forever. If you loved Nalini Singh's Guild Hunters, Ilona Andrews's Hidden Legacy, or Seanan McGuire's InCryptid series, then you will devour The Last Phoenix series. WINGS OF MAGIC is the 4th book of 7 in The Last Phoenix series, a kickass urban fantasy containing fast-paced action, snarky humor, portal travel, a variety of shifters, a hearty dose of swearing, and a healthy splash of romance.

When half-wolf shifter Frankie Newman receives an e-mail from a family member she didn't know existed, a secret is revealed: as a child, Frankie witnessed her father killing her mother...and then himself.

Insuring the Industrial Revolution
Author: Robin Pearson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351927310
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
Fire had always been one of the greatest threats to an early modern British society that relied on the naked flame as the prime source of heating, lighting and cooking. Yet whilst the danger of fire had always been taken seriously, it was not until the start of the eighteenth century that a sophisticated system of insurance became widely available. Whilst a number of high profile fires during the seventeenth century had drawn attention to the economic havoc a major conflagration could wreak, it was not until the effects of sustained industrialization began to alter the economic and social balance of the nation, that fire insurance really took off as a concept. The culmination of ten years of research, this book is the definitive work on early British fire insurance. It also provides a foundation for future comparative international studies of this important financial service, and for a greater level of theorising by historians about the relationship between insurance, perceptions of risk, economic development and social change. Through a detailed study of the archives of nearly 50 English and Scottish insurance companies founded between 1696 and 1850 - virtually all the records currently available - together with the construction of many new datasets on output, performance and markets, this book presents one of the most comprehensive histories ever written of a financial service. As well as measuring the size, market structure and growth rate of insurance, and the extent to which the first industrial revolution was insured, it also demonstrates ways in which insurance can be linked into wider issues of economic and social change in Britain. These range from an examination of the joint-stock company form of organization - to an analysis of changing attitudes towards fire hazard during the course of the eighteenth century. The book concludes by emphasising the ambivalent character of fire insurance in eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain, contrasting the industry's dynamic long-run rate of growth with its more conservative attitude to product design and diversification.
