Book Description
New York Times Bestselling Author Sarah MacLean returns with the next book in the Bareknuckle Bastards series about three brothers bound by a secret that they cannot escape—and the women who bring them to their knees. The Lady’s Plan When Lady Henrietta Sedley declares her twenty-ninth year her own, she has plans to inherit her father’s business, to make her own fortune, and to live her own life. But first, she intends to experience a taste of the pleasure she’ll forgo as a confirmed spinster. Everything is going perfectly…until she discovers the most beautiful man she’s ever seen tied up in her carriage and threatening to ruin the Year of Hattie before it’s even begun. The Bastard’s Proposal When he wakes in a carriage at Hattie’s feet, Whit, a king of Covent Garden known to all the world as Beast, can’t help but wonder about the strange woman who frees him—especially when he discovers she’s headed for a night of pleasure . . . on his turf. He is more than happy to offer Hattie all she desires…for a price. An Unexpected Passion Soon, Hattie and Whit find themselves rivals in business and pleasure. She won’t give up her plans; he won’t give up his power . . . and neither of them sees that if they’re not careful, they’ll have no choice but to give up everything . . . including their hearts.

Book Description
"What is your opinion about the meaning of Bible prophecy? Is the book of Revelation a prophecy about the future of this earth that is still yet to come -- or is it prophecy that has mostly already been fulfi lled through this passing Christian Age? Christians living in our world today are familiar with the many futuristic interpretations of the prophetic books of the Bible that have been offered to us by the publishing industry -- especially some of the wild and radical interpretations of the Book of Revelation. There are rivers turning to blood, stars falling to the earth, a ""last chance to go to heaven"" theology, and on and on it goes. Every few years, as the passing history of our world takes new turns, these predictions that are supposedly based upon Bible prophecy have to be revised again and again to make them suit the changing world scene. This means that there were some wrong interpretations somewhere along the line. But there is a better way. Before the middle of the 20th century when futurism developed such an amazing acceptance into the Christian community, there was another method of interpretation that was very prominent called ""historicist"". This simply means that the Book of Revelation is really prophecy about events that have been happening for about 2,000 years now, and that agree in description and in timely order with the chapters of Revelation. The same is true with much of the Book of Daniel. Loren Wilson, with his academic background in history and his preaching experience as a pastor, has updated the writings of the old historicist Bible commentators by including events of the 20th and 21st centuries into the mix. The results may change your perspective of what Daniel and Revelation is all about."

Book Description
Beauty and the Beast meets Taming of the Shrew in this laugh-out-loud and heartfelt Regency romance... Lord Nathaniel Harte, the disagreeable Duke of Beswick, spends his days smashing porcelain, antagonizing his servants, and snarling at anyone who gets too close. With a ruined face like his, it's hard to like much about the world. Especially smart-mouthed harpies—with lips better suited to kissing than speaking—who brave his castle with indecent proposals. But Lady Astrid Everleigh will stop at nothing to see her younger sister safe from a notorious scoundrel, even if it means offering herself up on a silver platter to the forbidding Beast of Beswick himself. And by offer, she means what no highborn lady of sound and sensible mind would ever dream of—a tender of marriage with her as his bride. Each book in the Regency Rogues series is STANDALONE: * The Beast of Beswick * The Rakehell of Roth

Book Description
This is the first published version of Beauty and the Beast, written by the French author Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve in the mid-18th century and translated by James Robinson Planch . It is a novel-length story intended for adult readers, addressing the issues of the marriage system of the day in which women had no right to choose their husband or to refuse to marry. There is also a wealth of rich back story as to how the Prince became cursed and revelations about Beauty's parentage, which fail to appear in subsequent versions of the now classic fairy tale.

Book Description
The Number of the Beast is a mind-bending experiment by one of the greatest writers in science fiction who ever lived and the author of the classic bestseller, Starship Troopers. It is a parallel book about parallel universes. Most readers did not realize in 1980 (when it was originally published) that the novel had a sister book, written in 1977, that was never published. That book is finally being published under the title The Pursuit of the Pankera. . Both novels deal with parallel universes, share the same main characters and have the same first one-third of the book. However, from that point on (after they make a jump to a parallel universe) the novels diverge completely. . And here is where the second part of the experiment comes in. While The Pursuit of the Pankera continues the adventure in a very customary Heinlein manner, reminiscent of his earlier works, The Number of the Beast becomes something very different. . On surface, the book is about two men and two women who are attacked by aliens and then embark on roller coaster ride of an adventure through a myriad of universes. But as Jack Kirwan wrote in The National Review, "describing The Number of the Beast thus is like saying Moby Dick is about a one-legged guy trying to catch a fish." The Number of the Beast is a homage to science fiction, to his friends and to characters used in other books, also serving as a parody and a lesson to anyone willing to listen, in a way only Robert A. Heinlein could have presented it.
