Download or read book A Baby for Albie written by Mandy Greenwood and published by NaomiAoki. This book was released on 2023-10-23 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albie had thought pregnancy was an impossibility. Not something he’d ever experience while sleeping with a dhampyre—a turned human male. Yet Albie’s newfound friendship with the porcelain in the bathroom couldn’t be denied. But how could a millennium of history be wrong? Except reality suggested otherwise. And then there was the matter which they’d both chosen to ignore. Dominic had looked forward to his brief respite from his undercover mission. Looked forward to resolving an issue that he and Albie had danced around for months. They both knew it, but neither wanted to admit that their relationship wasn’t casual because the Fates had chosen them for each other. Except this had to be a joke. Did Albie honestly believe that he could stand there with his swollen belly and claim the child was Dominic’s? But sometimes there was a hidden truth lying beneath the fairy tales read to children. A Baby for Albie is a paranormal mpreg novella featuring a vampire too stubborn to do it alone, and a dhampyre too stuck in the pages of history to realise the truth. And when they’re not fighting with Fate, they’re fighting to keep the city of Silverdale safe from their enemies. Second Edition. Previously published under the series title Silverdale Coven.

Download or read book Commonwealth written by Ann Patchett and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Exquisite. . .Commonwealth is impossible to put down.” — New York Times #1 New York Times Bestseller | NBCC Award Finalist | New York Times Best Book of the Year | USA Today Best Book | TIME Magazine Top 10 Selection | Oprah Favorite Book | New York Magazine Best Book of The Year The acclaimed, bestselling author—winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Orange Prize—tells the enthralling story of how an unexpected romantic encounter irrevocably changes two families’ lives. One Sunday afternoon in Southern California, Bert Cousins shows up at Franny Keating’s christening party uninvited. Before evening falls, he has kissed Franny’s mother, Beverly—thus setting in motion the dissolution of their marriages and the joining of two families. Spanning five decades, Commonwealth explores how this chance encounter reverberates through the lives of the four parents and six children involved. Spending summers together in Virginia, the Keating and Cousins children forge a lasting bond that is based on a shared disillusionment with their parents and the strange and genuine affection that grows up between them. When, in her twenties, Franny begins an affair with the legendary author Leon Posen and tells him about her family, the story of her siblings is no longer hers to control. Their childhood becomes the basis for his wildly successful book, ultimately forcing them to come to terms with their losses, their guilt, and the deeply loyal connection they feel for one another. Told with equal measures of humor and heartbreak, Commonwealth is a meditation on inspiration, interpretation, and the ownership of stories. It is a brilliant and tender tale of the far-reaching ties of love and responsibility that bind us together.

Then, one snowy day, Albie transmits an alarming two-word message: Bad order. Soon after, Mary and her best friend, Brit, discover a mysterious red mist in the woods that seems to draw them in . . . and turn all their feelings negative.

Can Mary, Brit, Brit’s brother Lars, and Albie save the world? And will Mary finally realize that she, like Albie, has something special inside herself?
