A desire rises in him that is forbidden-this woman is his queen, the mate of his king, his leader, his best friend. He is overwhelmed by a searing connection that goes deep into the twin souls inside him. But as this golden warrior sweeps in to protect her, he feels something more than body heat every time they touch. When Ram finds Docia, he has no doubt that she is his queen. That is, as long as Docia's savior doesn't turn out to be a crazed kidnapper. Then, when a tall, blond, muscular stranger intervenes on her behalf, telling her it is his duty to protect her at all cost, what is just a feeling turns to proof positive. On her way to work, secretary Docia Waverley hurtles into a crashing crossroads, and she quickly begins to suspect that things will never be the same.

In the first days of the month, I did watch one beautiful giallo-style horror movie with a cast almost entirely populated by queer characters, and that I highly recommend– Knife + Heart, on Shudder right now.) I’m definitely going to go for it again next year, so stay tuned. I didn’t have the time! I’m so sorry! If you missed them in previous years, here are the links for my 31 Days of Horror in both 20. Sadly I did not engage in my annual tradition of watching one horror movie a day, every day during the month of October. Whether it's the romance that takes your breath away or those climactic encounters that make your pulse race, I hope you find that solitary moment of enjoyment while lost in one of my stories. Explore the streets of Paris with new heroines, or fly around the world to reclaim your lost love with a favorite hero. When you pick up one of my books I hope you find that place that you can escape to. Perhaps nothing provides a private moment - a brief respite from the everyday - like escaping into a great story. With all the demands on us day in and day out, we each need something just for ourselves. Is the promise of forever one Rome can really keep? Or will he end up leaving her behind, just like everyone else? Lauren’s painful past keeps her at arms’ length.

His brother-in-law offers to get him an audition with an artist in the United Kingdom who needs a guitarist to play classical and Celtic music with her on tour. Rome’s passion is classical guitar, though, and in Guitar Town, those gigs are few and far between. He’s a damn good guitar player, and in Nashville, that means one thing – country music is his bread and butter. There are a hundred guys in Nashville who would kill to be in Rome’s shoes. With Europe on the verge of war, Gisela's chancellor, Count von Rechstein, does not want to make waves - and before Veronica and Stoker can figure out their next move, the princess disappears.

As she assembles a memorial exhibition for pioneering mountain climber Alice Baker-Greene, Veronica discovers evidence that the recent death was not a tragic climbing accident but murder. As the newest member of the Curiosity Club - an elite society of brilliant, intrepid women - Veronica Speedwell is excited to put her many skills to good use. A princess is missing and a peace treaty is on the verge of collapse in this new Veronica Speedwell adventure from the New York Times best-selling and Edgar Award-nominated author Deanna Raybourn. 6/22/2023 0 Comments Őszikék by János AranyLa sèrie de texts foren rebuts amb admiració per un públic desitjós d'una literatura nacional de qualitat, en un llenguatge que tots poguessin entendre.

"And why I had an awareness of my body that young I'm not sure, and it definitely wasn't environmental because I grew up in a very religious environment where bodies weren't even acknowledged," she added. "There's never a point in my life where I loved my body, never, ever." Megan went on to recall having "an obsession" about what she "should" look like as a little girl. I don't ever see myself the way other people see me," the actress, 37, explained. Despite landing on the cover of the 2023 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, Megan Fox says she's never loved her own body. Also, since the writing topic I want to talk about is cliffhangers, there will also probably be some spoilers for the second book. If you think you might want to read the series, this probably isn’t the post for you. Obviously, since I’m talking about the second book in a series, spoilers for The Kiss of Deception are unavoidable. Now I’m back with another book review and writing topic post, and this time I’m talking about the second book in the series, The Heart of Betrayal, and what makes a good cliffhanger. Pearson pulls off a twist midway through the book that manages to be surprising without coming out of left field. A couple months ago, I wrote about the first book, The Kiss of Deception, and about how Mary E.
