Book Description
A Beauty and the Beast tale set during America's Gilded Age "I may be a monster, Miss Tate, but I am not a beast." His new secretary looked unconvinced. How could he blame her? His mask had her trembling like a frightened rabbit. Yet what lay beneath was far worse. The sight of his face had already killed one young woman. He well understood Miss Tate's fear. If only she understood his. Because as disturbing as she found his gruesome appearance, he was far more terrified of her beauty. Heir to a wealthy robber baron, Jonathan Nashe had every advantage money could buy until a tragic fire left him horribly disfigured. Now he lives secluded in his isolated country mansion, his scientific research his only solace. When declining health threatens to rob him of even this small comfort, Jonathan is forced to choose between his work and his privacy. Reluctantly, he hires a secretary. Though distasteful, sacrificing his privacy soon proves the least of his concerns; he never expected to sacrifice his heart as well.But Isabelle Tate guards the secrets of her past as vigilantly as Jonathan hides the scars beneath his mask. Can they confess their growing love for one another knowing that to bare their deepest feelings, they must also bare their deepest shame?

Pages : 323
Book Description
Winner of the ALA Reading List Award Difficult and obstinate. Thriving under a set of specific and limited conditions. That pretty much describes me. Maybe that’s why I like these roses so much. Roses are Galilee Garner’s passion. An amateur breeder, she painstakingly cross-pollinates her plants to coax out new, better traits, striving to create a perfect strain of her favorite flower, the Hulthemia. Her dream is to win a major rose competition and one day have her version of the bloom sold in the commercial market. Gal carefully calibrates the rest of her time to manage the kidney failure she’s had since childhood, going to dialysis every other night, and teaching high school biology, where she is known for her exacting standards. The routine leaves little room for relationships, and Gal prefers it that way. Her roses never disappoint her the way people have. Then one afternoon, Riley, the teenaged daughter of Gal’s estranged sister, arrives unannounced to live with her, turning Gal’s orderly existence upside down. Suddenly forced to adjust to each other’s worlds, both will discover a resilience they never knew they had and a bond they never knew they needed.

Languages : en
Pages : 788
Book Description
Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta. Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts. Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other's arms.

Wholehearted
Author: Mary Lynne Webb
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
God wants us to have a wholehearted commitment to Him. That’s not because He is controlling or selfish. It’s because He is all knowing and all loving, and wants what is best for us. We all have a sin nature, but when we accept His gift of salvation, purchased for us when Jesus paid the debt for our sin, we are forgiven and become new creatures. God’s Spirit indwells us. Does that mean we become unthinking robots who obey Him completely? No. We are still in earthly, sinful bodies. We are saved once, but we make a commitment each moment to be fully committed to Him. It’s not always easy. It’s a journey. The more we resolve to be fully committed to Him, the more we see Him for Who He Is. The more we recognize that He is beyond description, the more we want to yield to His work in our lives. Through study of the scriptures, fellowship with other believers, Biblical teaching, life experiences, even trials and tribulations, He works in us to make us more like Him. The fruit of His Spirit becomes more evident in us and through us as a testimony to others who need His forgiveness. We experience joy, peace, comfort, strength, love, encouragement, protection, faith in ever increasing measure as we allow Him to work in us. Join us as we explore scripture, share experiences, and grow in our wholehearted relationship with Him. Whole-Hearted: Living a Life Devoted to God is an exceptional read that is full of vulnerability and a desire to show God’s love to people. The stories are wonderful and give us insight to how we relate to the scriptures in such a different world than the Old Testament times or the 1st Century church, but the author always allows scripture to define scripture. She does not change the meaning of scripture to our current times but treats scripture respectfully as God intended it to be. She also uses the whole counsel of scripture – Old and New Testaments – and in doing so we see Christ revealed from Genesis to Revelation. Whole-Hearted: Living a Life Devoted to God implores us to self-examination that should lead us to know if we truly have a whole-hearted relationship with God and His Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. — Belinda Contreras Pastor’s Wife, First Baptist Church, Gahanna, Ohio
