Book Description
Our love was written in blood, but our dream was born from death. Once upon a time, I had it all. Born heir apparent to one of the Six Families, I was destined for greatness. Wealth and power were in my blood, and sweet Thalia was one more means to an end. Until they banished me from the watchful city, stripping me of everything I possessed, my name, my home, all I'd come to hold dear, including the girl who was to be my wife. Now the day has come to take back what's mine. The girl is no longer a promise I need to protect, but a woman who I plan to devour. Wealth and power are in my blood, and sweet Thalia may very well be my end. Dreams of the Vengeful is the prologue to the Massacred Dreams series, ends in a cliffhanger, and is a dark mafia romance. It contains elements that may be triggering to some readers.

Wishing On A Dream

Pages : 252
Book Description
I can't really complain about my life; I have a job I love and a best friend that fills the void of my nonexistent family, but sometimes I'm lonelier than I like to admit. Especially with the holiday season approaching, I can't help but wish I had someone special to share it with. My friend gives me a snow globe with a man and a snowy owl inside, and for some bizarre reason, this man starts showing up every night when I close my eyes. It's... not real, but I can't seem to get the guy out of my head. It probably shouldn't surprise me that my brain conjures up the perfect man in my dreams... well, almost perfect if he'd stop claiming to be a warlock. But the crazy thing is that all of it-that he-feels so real. When I start falling for the man, the warlock, I can't help but wish that what we have in my dreams could be a reality. I know it can't, but at least when I'm asleep, I can be with him-with Alaric. Although this book is part of A Snow Globe Christmas series, it is a complete stand alone and it isn't a requirement that you read the previous books to follow along. We wish everyone a happy holiday season.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
Legendary Haitian author Depestre combines magic, fantasy, eroticism, and delirious humor to explore universal questions of race and sexuality. “One-of-a-kind . . . [A] ribald, free-wheeling magical-realist novel, first published in 1988 and newly, engagingly translated by Glover . . . An icon of Haitian literature serves up a hotblooded, rib-ticking, warmhearted mélange of ghost story, cultural inquiry, folk art, and véritable l’amour.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review “An exceptional novel . . . Depestre’s masterpiece and one of the greatest examples of Haitian literature.” —New York Journal of Books Hadriana in All My Dreams, winner of the prestigious Prix Renaudot, takes place primarily during Carnival in 1938 in the Haitian village of Jacmel. A beautiful young French woman, Hadriana, is about to marry a Haitian boy from a prominent family. But on the morning of the wedding, Hadriana drinks a mysterious potion and collapses at the altar. Transformed into a zombie, her wedding becomes her funeral. She is buried by the town, revived by an evil sorcerer, then disappears into popular legend. Set against a backdrop of magic and eroticism, and recounted with delirious humor, the novel raises universal questions about race and sexuality. The reader comes away enchanted by the marvelous reality of Haiti’s Vodou culture and convinced of Depestre’s lusty claim that all beings—even the undead ones—have a right to happiness and true love.

Book Description
Broken men don't fall in love. We linger in the darkness, consumed by the sins that define us. Irina is the sole reason my heart beats. She's everything that matters in a world filled with evil that a woman so good and pure should never have to see. She'll add another scar to my collection - this one engraved on my heart. When she's taken by our enemy to use for his vengeance. Even knowing she can never be mine, I'll stop at nothing to see her safe. The Irina I rescue isn't the same feisty woman they stole. Her soul is broken. Her heart is hollow like mine, because of the things she's seen. She needs me in a way I've never known. And I will destroy the man who shattered what's mine. Scarred Regrets is a full-length standalone romance, but the series presents a better reading experience when following the suggested order. This series contains dark elements, including over-the-top antiheroes who do as they please. Read at your own discretion.
