The Naughty Princess
Author: Claire Contreras

Category : Man-woman relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Claire Contreras comes a new story in her Sexy Royals series... Princess Pilar is tired of playing by the rules. She's sick of the spotlight and being seen as the uptight goody-too-shoes the media has cast her to be. She's especially tired of the fact that her brothers are allowed to run off and do whatever they want while she sits inside watching the world pass her by. That's why she decides that while her older brothers are off on their usual summer holidays, she's going to quietly pack her things and travel to the one place her parents have always forbidden her to step foot on - Ibiza. As the star of the French premiere fútball league, Benjamin Drake has it all - the money, the cars, the clothing contracts, and any woman he wants. Problem is, the only woman Ben has ever wanted badly enough to stop partying is Princess Pilar, the one he can never, ever have. Despite his fame and achievements, in Pilar's world, she'll always be royalty and he'll always be a kid from the wrong side of the tracks who got lucky. He'd never be accepted. He knows that. Yet, when he spots Pilar partying at the same club as him, all bets are off. He's determined to get her in his bed, even if it's just for one night. **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it's an introduction to an author's world. And for fans, it's a bonus book in the author's series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Today more than ever before in human history, the dependency for comfort along with the indispensable necessity of moral, emotional and spiritual encouragement is in conflict with the iniquitous disposition of this present day society. The spirit of this world continues to resist and debilitate the divinely instilled organic appetite that is part of human original nature, personality and character. Even though the surrounding world tries to convince us as if we are unlovable, worthless and unforgivable, this volume will inspire our sensibleness so as to persist with the needed confidence, for finding or seeing the respectable extent of our own worth on the supreme pedestal of God’s given image and moral strength. We are exquisitely designed and divinely designated to remain everlastingly precious in love, goodness and reassurance. Even though our own heart tends to discourage and condemn us, this comforting volume will empower our vision to discern the true meaning and purpose of human existence, by authenticating the greatness of our value with eternity in view. The structure of human nature, character and personality would not be reliable pertaining to fundamental moral strength, lasting comfort and true happiness, unless exist a supreme purpose to appreciate the reason of holding on to such an objective. In actual fact, without this perpetual purpose along with love, faith and hope that galvanize our mind, heart and soul, there would not dwell the needed optimism for the author to initiate such painstaking descriptive work with the view to put in paper the proceeding five volumes of Authenticity, Comfort, Love, Perception and Dedication.

City of Sin
Author: Catharine Arnold
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0857200259
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
If Paris is the city of love, then London is the city of lust. For over a thousand years, England's capital has been associated with desire, avarice and the sins of the flesh. Richard of Devises, a monk writing in 1180, warned that 'every quarter [of the city] abounds in great obscenities'. As early as the second century AD, London was notorious for its raucous festivities and disorderly houses, and throughout the centuries the bawdy side of life has taken easy root and flourished. In the third book of her fascinating London trilogy, award-winning popular historian Catharine Arnold turns her gaze to the city's relationship with vice through the ages. From the bath houses and brothels of Roman Londinium, to the stews and Molly houses of the 17thand 18thcenturies, London has always traded in the currency of sex. Whether pornographic publishers on Fleet Street, or fancy courtesans parading in Haymarket, its streets have long been witness to colourful sexual behaviour. In her usual accessible and entertaining style, Arnold takes us on a journey through the fleshpots of London from earliest times to present day. Here are buxom strumpets, louche aristocrats, popinjay politicians and Victorian flagellants - all vying for their place in London's league of licentiousness. From sexual exuberance to moral panic, the city has seen the pendulum swing from Puritanism to hedonism and back again. With latter chapters looking at Victorian London and the sexual underground of the 20thcentury and beyond, this is a fascinating and vibrant chronicle of London at its most raw and ribald.

100% standalone romance My job was to clean up his reputation and find him a wife. It was supposed to be easy, but nothing about Prince Aramis was ever easy. I was about to throw in the towel when he came up with a solution: I'd be his pretend girlfriend. Forget the fact that I was sort of seeing someone, or that I had no interest in joining the royal family. Once Aramis sets his eyes on something, there's no use in fighting him on it, besides, in a way it would make my job a little easier. I accept the offer but set boundaries. Boundaries that Aramis is intent on testing. Before either of us know what's happening, the lines start to blur and I can no longer tell the difference between pretend and reality. My job on the line is one thing, but losing my heart to Aramis was never in the cards.
