Pages : 730
Book Description
All three books in the best-selling The Anti-Cinderella Trilogy are available in one set! Plus . . . a bonus novella: Hot Off The Press The Anti-Cinderella How many girls can say their first kiss was with a prince in the British royal family? I was fourteen and he was sixteen, and yes, it was magical. But I didn't even think about it-or Nicky Windsor-for the next ten years . . . until fate brought us back together again. Now everything has spun out of control. The whole world seems to be watching me, wanting to see some kind of modern Cinderella story. But trust me, I'm no man's princess. I'm more comfortable in tennis shoes than in a tiara, more likely to rock a bucket than a ball gown, and more liable to fall on my face than to pull off a graceful wave. The only thing that keeps me from running away and hiding is Nicky. He's all I've ever wanted in a man: hot, hunky and head-over-heels in love with me. I think I feel the same way. I think I want to be with him forever. The Anti-Cinderella Takes London Falling in love with a prince wasn't something I planned . . . When I reconnected with the first guy I ever kissed, I never dreamed I'd end up moving to England to be closer to him. But Nicky and I are in love, and living together was the next logical step. But dating royalty is even more challenging now that I'm in London. Every move I make, every word I say, is under the microscope. Becoming part of Nicky's family while staying true to who I am isn't easy. Nicky makes everything worthwhile. The hours when we're alone together are paradise. And if the press and the pressure are the price I have to pay for him . . . I'll choose Nicky, every single time. After all, London's just another town. Right? The Anti-Cinderella Conquers the World The royal wedding was only the beginning of my happy ending . . . I'm now a full-fledged member of the royal family. That means all my problems are over, doesn't it? Apparently not. Even though I'm now a princess-by-marriage and a duchess-by-title, I'm still the same Kyra who's prone to putting her sneaker-clad foot into her mouth. It's a good thing Nicky loves me. Our work is thriving, and our marriage is strong. Together, we can tackle any challenge. But it's not until our peaceful existence is threatened that I realize how precious it is. And they lived happily ever after . . . didn't they? AND a bonus novella Hot Off the Press, an Anti-Cinderella Chronicles Romance! Sophie Kent loves her new job as press liaison for Kyra Duncan, fiancee of Britain's Prince Nicholas. But there's one downside, and it comes in the form of a very sexy, very annoying American reporter named Garrett Smith. He's determined to make life more difficult, and so far, he's succeeding. But these two just might discover their chemistry is stronger than their combat.

The Legend of Broken
Author: Caleb Carr
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0812994086
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 753
Book Description
“A sprawling fantasy saga . . . Caleb Carr boldly goes where he’s never gone before.”—USA Today Legend meets history in this mesmerizing novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Caleb Carr. Demonstrating the rich storytelling, skillful plotting, and depth of research he showcased in The Alienist, Carr has written a wildly imaginative, genre-bending saga that redefines the boundaries of literature. Some years ago, a remarkable manuscript long rumored to exist was discovered: The Legend of Broken. It tells of a prosperous fortress city where order reigns at the point of a sword—even as scheming factions secretly vie for control of the surrounding kingdom. Meanwhile, outside the city’s granite walls, an industrious tribe of exiles known as the Bane forages for sustenance in the wilds of Davon Wood. At every turn, the lives of Broken’s defenders and its would-be destroyers intertwine: Sixt Arnem, the widely respected and honorable head of the kingdom’s powerful army, grapples with his conscience and newfound responsibilities amid rumors of impending war. Lord Baster-kin, master of the Merchants’ Council, struggles to maintain the magnificence of his kingdom even as he pursues vainglorious dreams of power. And Keera, a gifted female tracker of the Bane tribe, embarks on a perilous journey to save her people, enlisting the aid of the notorious and brilliant philosopher Caliphestros. Together, they hope to exact a ruinous revenge on Broken, ushering in a day of reckoning when the mighty walls will be breached forever in a triumph of science over superstition. Breathtakingly profound and compulsively readable, Caleb Carr’s long-awaited new book is an action-packed, multicharacter epic of a medieval clash of cultures—in which new gods collide with old, science defies all expectation, and virtue comes in many guises. Brimming with adventure and narrative invention, The Legend of Broken is an exhilarating and enthralling masterwork. Praise for The Legend of Broken “An excellent and old-fashioned entertainment . . . The Legend of Broken seamlessly blends epic adventure with serious research and asks questions that men and women grappled with in the Dark Ages and still do today.”—The Washington Post “[A] colossal effort . . . a fantasy epic . . . meant as an allegory, a cautionary tale for our precarious times. To make his points, Carr has summoned a dream team of soldiers, wizards, and tiny forest folk.”—The New York Times Book Review “Carr keeps the action hurtling along with a steady diet of gruesome murders and political betrayals. And he clearly wants modern readers to see something of their own world in the political corruption and greed that ultimately doom Broken.”—The Boston Globe
