Book Description
SHE GOT WHAT SHE WANTED Lisette Keller was determined to leave and pursue her dream of opening a millinery shop in Chicago--but first she had to find a way to get there! If she could persuade handsome rancher Gil McLoughlin to hire her as a cook on his cattle drive to Abilene, she'd be well on her way, and she'd arrive with money in her pockets to boot! But Lisette hadn't counted on quivering at Gil's first fiery touch or craving the taste of his lips on hers. Whatever her future might hold, Lisette knew she must surrender to the sudden passion that coursed through her whenever Gil gazed into her eyes, savor his ardent caresses, and learn love's deepest secrets in his bold rapturous embrace... all the way to Kansas! HE FOUND WHAT HE NEEDED When a feisty blond minx applied for the job of cook on the long hot trail drive from Texas to Abilene, Gil McLoughlin was tempted--and not because of Gisette's skills over a cookfire. But how could he keep his mind on his longhorns with the curvaceous beauty close by? Those baby-blue eyes would turn a monk to sin, and he was no monk! One kiss from Lisette's pouty, red lips and Gil knew he had to have her. The long hard Chisholm Trail lay ahead, with many a starry night beneath the Texas sky. He'd explore every inch of her velvety softness, coax her into his arms with fiery caresses, then carry her over the threshold of passion in the rapturous heat of his embrace.

Fire from Heaven
Author: Mary Renault
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1480432873
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 605
Book Description
New York Times Bestseller and Man Booker Prize Finalist: A novel of ancient Greece by the author Hilary Mantel calls “a shining light.” Alexander the Great stands alone as a leader and strategist, and Fire from Heaven is Mary Renault’s unsurpassed dramatization of the formative years of his life. His parents fight for their precocious son’s love: On one side, his volatile father, Philip, and on the other, his overbearing mother, Olympias. The story tells of the conqueror’s two great bonds—to his horse, Oxhead, and to his dearest friend and eventual lover, Hephaistion—and of the army he commands when he is barely an adult. Coming of age during the battles for southern Greece, Alexander the Great appears in all of his colors—as the man who first takes someone’s life at age twelve and who swiftly eliminates his rivals as soon as he comes to power—and emerges as a captivating, complex, larger-than-life figure. Fire from Heaven is the first volume of the Novels of Alexander the Great trilogy, which continues with The Persian Boy and Funeral Games. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Mary Renault including rare images of the author. “Mary Renault is a shining light to both historical novelists and their readers. She does not pretend the past is like the present, or that the people of ancient Greece were just like us. She shows us their strangeness; discerning, sure-footed, challenging our values, piquing our curiosity, she leads us through an alien landscape that moves and delights us.” —Hilary Mantel
