All Signs Lead To Lucy by Julieann Dove (18 Reviews)    Price verified 8 minutes ago

After living a life of failed, predictable relationships, Lucy Fister took the advice of the psychic who charged sixty dollars for ten minutes: start seeking men who are the absolute opposite of who she dated. It made sense, but paying for the obvious meant it might work. Tyler Tolliver met that criteria. He was an out of work actor who'd invented the love language 'have a good time.' They had a whirlwind relationship and after four months, he proposed, holding a bread tie for a ring, and giving the argument that the lease on his loft was expiring. One year into her marriage with Tyler, and Lucy was tired of playing Xbox, clubbing, and watching movies before reading the book. She missed conversations deeper than picking where they'd eat, and being in bed before midnight. When her estranged best friend, Vanessa asked her and Tyler to go on a week-long trip to the Caribbean with her new fiancé, Martin VanLeer, Lucy accepted the invitation. Fate scatters people and plans like a ceiling fan scatters loose papers. On the eve of the trip, Tyler and Vanessa respectively were called to fulfill work related tasks. The new plan was for them to meet up with Lucy and Vanessa's fiancé in a couple of days. One week is all it took for Martin and Lucy to fall in love. And for Lucy to realize that psychic was wrong -- she didn't need to find someone opposite of all the guys she dated, she needed to be warned of the millionaire engaged to her best friend. Because if they acted on this attraction, it meant destroying a marriage, a wedding, and a lifelong friendship.

The Blood of Houses: Vol. 1 by J.A. Garza (1 Review)    Price verified 8 minutes ago

Game of Thrones with Lightsabers A secret is trivial for one, adequate for two, and fatal for three. There's power in blood. Such is the legacy of House Vega, a Sovereign fiefdom standing on the brink against General Basil Zeren of Taras. There, Jase Vega of Attica declares neutrality in his family's war, in vein and virtue. A militant pacifist, he ventures beyond the neon city to train his clandestine daughter, Seva, how to wield their inherited powers: the roaring tides of Hydrokinesis and the collateral-inducing damage of Super Strength. Far across the Royal Strait, along the secular shores of Siteia, lie devote conjurers and more -- an innate power severed from the dynastic kings during the generation-long uprising, yet emerging with grievous consequences and divine authority not seen in centuries. But a more civil disturbance rises to the east, where Shoshana Vega, the General of War, has decreed an ultimatum for her heretic brother: join the destructive conflict or face execution for treason. Now, Basil is charging west to Attica, bringing his daughter, the apostatized but fierce Rome, her daughter, the infamous, immeasurable acolyte Seva, and the indomitable genetic powers of House Zeren -- the first an inferno like Dragon's breath, the second a psionic enhancement of hearing. All are colliding in Attica, unaware of a fifteen-year mystery condemning Seva's birthright that will link the two feuding houses in blood forever. Meanwhile, in the City of Sin, Chaya, Czar of House Petra, which has never fought a war on Siren soil, prepares the Sovereign Summit of every nation on Madish -- whose misanthropic ideologies will clash over proper course of action: defend their world from global annihilation, together. The Blood of Houses Volume II will be released in 2024. This novel features supernatural abilities, battle sequences, and political intrigue.

But, because she believed him to be this cutthroat ruthless hood, and she was a goody two-shoes, inexperienced cop, she would have nothing to do with him.

But how is she to guess that Harriet has a secret? Meanwhile, the brilliant, penniless Jane Fairfax consents to a clandestine engagement with Frank Churchill - though not daring to confess, even to him, that she is being relentlessly pursued by her best friend's husband. Harriet sidelines Emma herself in favour of the ingenious Harriet and the fascinating Jane Fairfax. It is Emma - but an Emma with a surprisingly believable twist in its tail. "McVeigh draws inspiration from her love of Jane Fairfax, and she certainly paints a fuller, more complete picture that gives welcome complexity to the musically talented and fragile young woman with an uncertain future. Harriet, though, is the character who shines brightest in this reimagining . In Austen's original, Harriet is willing to do anything to please Emma, but here she is a character of great depth, hiding facets of her personality and skills, often catching what those around her miss, and ultimately facing a compelling romantic decision. McVeigh again is on point with both the writing style, language, and consistency in Austen's characters, making this a treat for anyone who loves the originals."

In 1940, something terrible happened to Jo Wheeler during the Bristol Blitz - so terrible she can't stop blaming herself. Since then she has almost given up on making a fresh start, seeking oblivion in beer and one-night stands. Now, pregnant Jo has suffered another loss - her best friend Sarah Smith has died in a mysterious car crash in the Forest of Dean. Sarah was a volunteer firewatcher, like her. Together they climbed the tower of Gloucester Cathedral every night to look for enemy bombers, ready to extinguish incendiaries that might set fire to the roof. Sarah's husband Bruno knows that a threatening message written in pig's blood was left on her car shortly before she died. He's desperate. Since he can't persuade the hard-pressed police that Sarah has been murdered, he must turn to the disenchanted Jo instead. But Jo is more concerned with an odd little boy's daily visits to the cathedral to light prayer candles. His name is Sam. When he draws her a picture of a fearsome creature he has seen in the Forest, she is greatly alarmed. No such animal has existed in England for hundreds of years. It resembles a wild boar. Little does Jo expect to meet Sam again - at Sarah's funeral. Still less does she realise that it will be Sam who points her in the direction of a notorious war profiteer called James Boreman. As she gets closer to the truth, she uncovers a deadly web of domestic tyranny, wartime slave labour and murder that all lead back to Sarah. There is more to her car crash than meets the eye. Did Sarah die because she knew too much about bodies down a mine or because she was trying to save someone from an abusive marriage? Jo decides to ride to the Forest with cathedral verger John Curtis on her beloved motorcycle combination to investigate. It might give her life some purpose again. All she needs to do is learn how to forgive herself first...

Remember when eating healthy wasn't so difficult? It can be that way again, thanks to the Power Pressure Cooker XL and The Power Pressure Cooker XL Cookbook: 150 Amazing Electric Pressure Cooker Recipes for Fast, Healthy, and Incredibly Tasty Meals. Honestly, eating healthy has been difficult for a long time. Before artificial and packaged foods, everyone was essentially living on a "clean" diet with their own gardens and local butchers and farmers. Then, society seemed to speed up, and there simply wasn't time to maintain a garden or cook at home. Fast food places littered the country, and big corporations began churning out frozen stuff in packages. Even fresh food like produce changed, and became bulked up with artificial preservatives and fillers. How is a person supposed to eat healthy now? Pressure cookers like the Power Pressure Cooker XL make it possible. Pressure cooking is the healthiest cooking method there is, and it's because of how fast the process is. The longer food cooks, the more nutrition is lost, so when it takes less than five minutes to cook a batch of vegetables and only 10 minutes to cook chicken, nearly 100% of the food's original nutritional value is preserved. It's the best of both worlds! The Power Pressure Cooker XL Cookbook: 150 Amazing Electric Pressure Cooker Recipes for Fast, Healthy, and Incredibly Tasty Meals gives you everything you need to know about the electric pressure cooker, including how the Power Pressure Cooker XL is constructed, how it works, how to clean it, and how to fix common problems.

There was scandal in the district, plenty of it, and Ulder had the facts. Until, that is, a liberal helping of morphia, served to him in the Bishop's Palace, silenced the insufferable priest - for good. Was it the Bishop himself who delivered the fatal dose?

The Hell-Kites by Michael Sichok Price verified 9 hours ago

Flesh and bone, or polished stone, life is but a dream; with the rising sun, sleepers awaken, leaving their dreams behind, as it always has been. However, what if those dreams were unable to end? What if something interrupted the wake-up call, or for that matter, who is to even say that when we fall asleep, we awaken as the same person, in the same time and place from which we left the night before? Going a step further, if you were to die in your dreams, which part of you ceases to exist from one world and time, while another awakens and flourishes somewhere else? Does then, the dream last forever? Is life truly but a dream? Twentieth-century Harley and fourteenth-century Anna have a problem; caught amongst their fantasies, they are unable to return from where they've fell asleep, as their worlds have collapsed. Far from being in "limbo," these two find new lives in each other, within the broken context of time. However, and as they'll soon learn, neither time, nor space and distance exist in these new lives. After all, sometimes what we know fails us, due to our romanticizing the past, or for that matter, the future. Memories then create splintering realities, far removed from daily life, and as we find ourselves unable (or unwilling) to wake up, our fantasies run wild, revealing our true nature. In this sexy, entirely 80s, genre-bending romantic adventure, passion, imagination and mystery abound, ensuring that this will be a dream that you'll never want to wake from, even if you could. Well, if you can manage to keep the big, black birds away, that is. Following in the high standards of the Stary Trilogy (Nadeyat'sya, Neizbezhnyy and Natsionalist), The Hell-Kites again nukes the proverbial fiction battlefield. A story of lust and love, both ridiculous and profound, dazzling and cheesy, the Hell-Kites serves as complex contrast; night and day, our world and the next, Skinamax and cold, howling winds across bitter landscape. It is achingly deep as it is ...
