Book Description
Huddled in a doorway, unseen by the men passing on great horses, Meredith watched from within the hood of her cloak. The pain of the cold, wet morning impaled her, rooting her in place, even as the cat rubbed against her shins with a force that should have felled her. She shooed him away. Go home. But he would not. She wished she had died that night. She wished she had died, for to live like this was not to live at all. * * * When Richie Moorcroft takes a housekeeping position to finance his studies, it means moving back to his childhood home: an ancient, almost-derelict cottage locals claim is haunted. But he never believed those stories; he knows where they came from, and in any case, he has a job to do: keeping nineteen-year-old Julian Denby on the straight and narrow without Julian realising his wealthy parents are paying Richie to do so. Luckily, Julian’s not very astute, although the same can’t be said for their newest housemates: Richie’s bestie, Anneke, and Julian’s older sister, Tamara. Add in George, the cat who appeared from nowhere and is in no hurry to leave, and that makes five…about to uncover the sinister history of their new home.

Pages : 11588
Book Description
It was ordained that Shibli Bagarag, nephew to the renowned Baba Mustapha, chief barber to the Court of Persia, should shave Shagpat, the son of Shimpoor, the son of Shoolpi, the son of Shullum; and they had been clothiers for generations, even to the time of Shagpat, the illustrious. Now, the story of Shibli Bagarag, and of the ball he followed, and of the subterranean kingdom he came to, and of the enchanted palace he entered, and of the sleeping king he shaved, and of the two princesses he released, and of the Afrite held in subjection by the arts of one and bottled by her, is it not known as 'twere written on the finger-nails of men and traced in their corner-robes? As the poet says: Ripe with oft telling and old is the tale, But 'tis of the sort that can never grow stale. Now, things were in that condition with Shibli Bagarag, that on a certain day he was hungry and abject, and the city of Shagpat the clothier was before him; so he made toward it, deliberating as to how he should procure a meal, for he had not a dirhem in his girdle, and the remembrance of great dishes and savoury ingredients were to him as the illusion of rivers sheening on the sands to travellers gasping with thirst. And he considered his case, crying, 'Surely this comes of wandering, and 'tis the curse of the inquiring spirit! for in Shiraz, where my craft is in favour, I should be sitting now with my uncle, Baba Mustapha, the loquacious one, cross-legged, partaking of seasoned sweet dishes, dipping my fingers in them, rejoicing my soul with scandal of the Court!' Now, he came to a knoll of sand under a palm, from which the yellow domes and mosques of the city of Shagpat, and its black cypresses, and marble palace fronts, and shining pillars, and lofty carven arches that spanned half-circles of the hot grey sky, were plainly visible. Then gazed he awhile despondingly on the city of Shagpat, and groaned in contemplation of his evil plight, as is said by the poet: The curse of sorrow is comparison! As the sun casteth shade, night showeth star, We, measuring what we were by what we are, Behold the depth to which we are undone.

Book Description
Even the magically inclined know werewolves don’t exist. So why is her new rescue dog suddenly taking human form? When Meredith Townsend finds a dog locked in a basement at a madman's compound, her magic immediately senses a lie. She knows it isn't simply a dog, but she never expects a werewolf—since everyone knows they don't exist. But not only does this rescue "dog" take human form, he happens to be none other than Jensen King, the man she had a torridly hot affair with—before he disappeared without a trace. Now he needs Meredith's help to find his sister—and the other Shifters stolen from his enclave—before they're sold to the highest bidder at an underground magical auction. If Meredith and Jensen fail, war looms on the horizon between Aspect and Shifter societies. If they succeed, do two people from such a different background have a chance at making love work?

Pages : 290
Book Description
Most of us leave school or university with big plans, that never quite pan out. Meredith finds herself floating through life. She’s good at her job, happy with friends, and loves her cats, but when anyone asks her what she’s up to, she’d never quite sure what to say. William fully intends to use his position as a consultant to rule the world from the back seat. None of the risk, and all of the reward. Plus, it’s just plain fun to know he is in complete control. When William hands Meredith his card, he’s hoping to find a good time. Meredith worries the man who gave her his card might be more adventure than her little life can handle, but when he literally walks into her a few days later, she gives in to the plans life has for her. William may never achieve the dreams he had when he left university, but anyone who has discovered the depth of intimacy and depravity that can be explored in a truly compatible relationship knows that sometimes dreams can shift form. Kinder than 50 Shades, but significantly naughtier.
