Book Description
As things heat up, the clock is ticking, and the time for seduction is running out. Alternate Reality/Parallel Universe Romance by NYT Bestseller, Michelle M. Pillow Includes Ariella’s Keeper Seducing Cecilia Linnea’s Arrangement 1. Ariella’s Keeper When his father threatens to take away his research facility’s funding if he doesn’t come home, Dr. Sebastjan Walter has no choice. This isn’t just a family reunion. It seems his father has arranged a marriage—Sebastjan’s. Seeing his chance to make one last final deal to get his father out of his life, he agrees to marry the woman from parallel universe. After seeing her, he can’t help but think he's on the better end of that bargain. Ariella has been held prisoner by the Medical Supreme since he cured her of a childhood illness. Compelled to stay in his home as his ward, she has no choice but to follow his rules. When he demands she marry his son, Ariella finds this is one order she might not mind obeying. 2. Seducing Cecilia As things heat up, the clock is ticking, and the time for seduction is running out. In a world obsessed with medical advancement, Dr. Gerard Fauchet longs for something more. When he’s assigned as the liaison to a dignitary from a parallel universe, he never imagined she’d be so stunningly beautiful or so damned frustrating. One second she’s kissing him, the next she’s pretending nothing is between them. The passion is scorching, everything he ever dreamed of having with a woman. He’ll make her admit she wants him—or die trying. Dr. Cecilia Markos is keenly aware that she’s been shoved through a portal to an alternate reality for one reason—to bring home medical advancements for the betterment of her people. Unfortunately, she only has two months to learn a world’s complete medical knowledge base. It’s an impossible task made even more so by the distractingly handsome Gerard who she can’t seem to keep her hands or her mind off of. As the clash heats up between Gerard and Cecilia, the clock is ticking, and the time for seduction is running out. 3. Linnea’s Arrangement Beautiful, highly intelligent Linnea Nel wants what most women want—a career, love, and respect. But coming from a plane where order and anti-chaos reigns, the untrackable, untraceable and highly rebellious Linnea is considered a threat—to her family, society and her world. When her numerous arrests for reading library books become a public embarrassment to her politically minded sister, Linnea is forced on a dignitary mission to an alternate reality. There are only two classifications of people on plane 187: Doctors and Not Doctors (Sans). Dr. Sam Swift is one of the highest ranking officials on the medical plane, answering only to the Medical Supreme. When the Medical Supreme becomes ill, it’s up to him to find a cure. Nowhere in this equation is there room—or time—to fall in love. And then he meets the exquisitely frustrating Sans Linnea Nel. In the midst of the worst outbreak 187’s society has faced in decades, two people who never should have met fall in love. How can Linnea stay where she may be in danger? But how can Sam let the love of his life go? *This collection was formerly called Divinity Temptations Box Set Alternate Reality, Alternate History, Parallel Universe, Portal Travel Part of the Divinity Universe

The Seduction of Pessimism in the Novel
Author: Tom Ribitzky
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1666901407
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 523
Book Description
The Seduction of Pessimism in the Novel: Eros, Futility, and the Quarrel with Philosophy explores the novel as a response to the Platonic myth that narrates the rift at the core of our being. Eros is supposedly the consolation for this rift, but the history of the novel documents its expression as one of frustrated desires, neuroses, anxieties, and cosmic doom. As if repeating the trauma from that original split in Plato—a split that also divides philosophy from literature—the novel treats eros as a site of loss and grief, from the medieval romances to Goethe, Emily Brontë, Proust, Mann, Woolf, D.H. Lawrence, and Nabokov. The pessimism that emerges from this eros, tells us something fundamental about who we are, something that only the novel can say. At a time when both education and leisure are increasingly ignoring the novel’s imperative to sit with ambiguity, complexity, and contingency, and as we are hurtling toward a bleak future of climate catastrophe and political instability, the novel is one of the last bastions of humanity even as it is quickly being eroded.

Book Description
In a land forever at war, meeting women is the last thing they can think about, so what's a lonely alpha warrior to do? Warrior Sir Vidar of Spearhead is too busy guarding the borderlands of his war torn country to bother with the headache of selecting a bride. Ordered to marry by the king, he plans to grab a woman and get back to the warfront, never to think of it again. That is until he meets the alluring Lady Karre with her teasing eyes, lush lips, and irresistible ways. Known by many names, inter-dimensional thief Karre, has only one purpose—take down the company that ruined her life. When her luck runs out and she’s caught, Divinity Corporation condemns her to matrimony on a primitive, warrior-filled alternate reality where Karre soon discovers there are worse fates than being prisoner to an insatiable alpha male. Before long, days and nights filled with bliss becomes something neither expected, and when Karre is taken, Vidar is forced to confront emotions a battle-hardened soldier never expected to feel.
