Book Description
Dragon's Vow When power meets passion, the lines between duty and desire blur. Cillian "Dragon" is the ruthless leader of the Irish mafia in America, a man feared by all but touched by few. His life is defined by loyalty, violence, and a single vow: to protect Juno, the orphaned girl he has shielded from the darkness of his world since she was a child. But Juno is no longer the innocent girl he once knew. After a decade away, she returns as a stunning, strong-willed woman determined to take control of her own fate. As Cillian grapples with the irresistible attraction he feels for the woman he's sworn to protect, he uncovers sinister secrets from Juno's past that ignite a fierce desire for vengeance. Juno's return triggers a dangerous game, where the stakes are life and death, and she becomes the coveted prize in a brutal war between rival mafia families. Cillian knows he must claim her as his own to keep her safe, but as he gets closer, he realizes he no longer wants to let her go. In "Dragon's Vow," loyalty will be tested, secrets will be revealed, and a forbidden love will set the underworld ablaze. Will Cillian honor his vow to protect Juno, or will his desire for her consume them both? Perfect for fans of mafia romance, protective alpha males, and strong heroines, "Dragon's Vow" will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Partly a study of the politics of Henry III's reign (l2l6-72), this study looks at Simon de Montfort's lands, finances, following and religious ideals. It draws on unusual sources, making his biography as much a study of temperament and character as a political career.

Book Description
As novice master of the Cistercian Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani in Kentucky, Thomas Merton presented weekly conferences to familiarize his charges with the meaning and purpose of the vows they aspired to undertake. In this setting, he offered a thorough exposition of the theological, canonical, and above all spiritual dimensions of the vows. Merton set the vows firmly in the context of the anthropological, moral, soteriological, and ecclesial dimensions of human, Christian, and monastic life. He addressed such classical themes of Christian morality as the nature of the human person and his acts; the importance of justice in relation to the Passion of Christ, to friendship and to love; and self-surrender as the key to grace, prayer and the vowed life. Merton's words on these topics clearly spring from a committed heart and often flow with the soaring intensity of style that we have come to expect in his more enthusiastic prose. The texts of these conferences represent the longest and most systematically organized of any of numerous series of conferences that Merton presented during the decade of his mastership. They may be the most directly pastoral work Merton ever wrote.

Book Description
The Plural of Us is the first book to focus on the poet’s use of the first-person plural voice—poetry’s “we.” Closely exploring the work of W. H. Auden, Bonnie Costello uncovers the trove of thought and feeling carried in this small word. While lyric has long been associated with inwardness and a voice saying “I,” “we” has hardly been noticed, even though it has appeared throughout the history of poetry. Reading for this pronoun in its variety and ambiguity, Costello explores the communal function of poetry—the reasons, risks, and rewards of the first-person plural. Costello adopts a taxonomic approach to her subject, considering “we” from its most constricted to its fully unbounded forms. She also takes a historical perspective, following Auden’s interest in the full range of “the human pluralities” in a time of particular pressure for and against the collective. Costello offers new readings as she tracks his changing approach to voice in democracy. Examples from many other poets—including Walt Whitman, T. S. Eliot, Elizabeth Bishop, and Wallace Stevens—arise throughout the book, and the final chapter offers a consideration of how contemporary writers find form for what George Oppen called “the meaning of being numerous.” Connecting insights to philosophy of language and to recent work in concepts of community, The Plural of Us shows how poetry raises vital questions—literary and social—about how we speak of our togetherness.
