Primal Bargains A wounded beast in hiding, a brazen beauty, and a killer secret from his past… Tess: The dark rumors that swirl around Gideon Wolfe both frighten and intrigue me. I’m desperate for the job he’s offering—and intensely curious to see the beastly billionaire recluse for myself. But soon I’m trapped in his castle and entangled in his secrets… and his bed. I’m in deep and I don’t want to find my way out. Gideon: People would kill to know the deadly secrets of my past. And when someone tries to steal one, I realize I can’t trust anyone… not even the men who share that past. But Tess is different. I have to trust her if she’s going to finish this job—still, I’m keeping her by my side twenty-four seven. But when I start to fall for her, she’ll be the biggest danger of all. Deadly Appetites A playboy and an ice princess make a seductive bargain while the secrets of his past stalk them both… Victoria: Cassian is exactly the kind of charming playboy I hate. Smooth talker. Game player. Heartbreaker. I’ve been burned by his kind in the past. But he takes it to the next level with his sultry gaze and hard, powerful build. He’s got an Achilles’ heel though: there’s a dark secret from his past, threatening to destroy his empire. And he comes to me for help. But he’s not getting me for free. Cassian’s going to teach me his tricks of seduction. Once I’ve cracked his code, I’ll beat the bad boys at their own game. Except with a single, sizzling kiss, Cassian tears down all my defenses. And suddenly I’m in over my head and falling fast. Cassian: Victoria’s ice-princess act doesn’t fool me. Inside that beautiful, frosty facade, I know I’ll find a woman made of pure fire. But no matter how much she tries to maintain her distance, I need her. She’s going to help me keep the secrets of my past where they belong—buried deep. Victoria agrees to help if I give her a crash course in seduction. Little Miss Uptight wants to learn how a bad boy operates? She’s about to get a lesson she’ll never forget. As I unwrap more of the real Victoria though, I’m realizing I want to do more than teach her—I want her for my own. Forever. Covert Sins Deadly secrets stalk them both… Archer: The whole world knows that Zara hates me—she’s told them several times over. But she’s the only one who can help me right now. I can’t be distracted by her short skirts and sassy mouth when my dark past stalks me. If I lose my focus, we’ll both be in danger. But when I’m near her, she’s the only thing I see. Zara: Humorless, stuffy, and completely wrong for me, that’s Archer. I’ll laugh in his face before I translate anything for him. But then he makes me an offer I can’t refuse. The more I learn about him, the more I see that his past is more mystery than fact. And that his stuffiness hides a passion I can’t resist. I need to keep away, but the closer I get to knowing the real man, the harder he is to resist. beauty beast forced proximity romance billionaire office billionaire wealthy suspense suspence romantic second chance comedy alpha club books series boys workplace office banker male steamy hot sizzling novel enemies lovers thriller adventure silicon valley tech venture capitalist tycoon stand-alone boxed set box anthology collection

Safe from her murderous father in the dazzling capital of Lightspire, she lives a life of luxury under the protection of the Volaris King, alongside her boyfriend, Zell, and best friend, Princess Lyriana. So why isn't she happy? Maybe it's the whispers and stares that follow her wherever she goes, as the daughter of the traitor waging war against Lightspire. Or maybe it's the memories of her beloved brother, Jax, who lies cold in his grave even as she tries to settle into a life in the city's prestigious University. Then Tilla stumbles upon the body of a classmate -- a friend. The authorities are quick to rule it a suicide and sweep it under the rug, but when Tilla herself is attacked by a mysterious man with terrifying powers, she's convinced of a conspiracy. Her friends beg her to stay silent; what she's suggesting is impossible...and treasonous. The deeper she digs, the more questions she uncovers.

To prove to myself and a short-term world that Logan and I had a forever love. I was wrong. The harder I tried to be flawless, the farther apart we grew, until I never saw my husband.

Download or read book Capital Volume One written by Karl Marx and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 883 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capital: Volume One by Karl Marx is a classic of political economics and was described by Friedrich Engels, the author's friend and collaborator, as "the bible of the working class." Thirty years in the making, this 1867 publication was the first in the three-part Das Kapital series and the only volume published during Marx's lifetime. The polemic asserts that society is advancing from primitive economic systems toward the utopian state of communism. It remains a work of tremendous importance and influence and offers an astute critique of capitalism, exploring commodities, value, money, and other factors related to the system's historic origins and contemporary functions. The examination of these elements forms the basis of Marxist doctrine: the system is irredeemable, a revolution is imperative, and a socialist system is the only viable alternative, providing a structure in which production serves the needs of all rather than the enrichment of the elite. AUTHOR: Philosopher and radical thinker Karl Marx (1818-74) was expelled from Germany and France after publishing controversial material, including The Communist Manifesto, which he co-wrote with Friedrich Engels. In 1848, he was exiled to London, where he wrote Das Kapital and resided for the remainder of his life.

Download or read book Clio s Bastards written by Curtis R. McManus and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2016-06-22 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clio's Bastards uses an examination of the discipline of history in Canadian universities as the point of entry for a much larger exploration of the intellectual, spiritual, and moral crisis confronting Western civilization today. Over the past four decades, academic history was slowly perverted as historians adopted new sociological approaches to the study of the past. Historians altered the content, purpose, and goals of the discipline as they sought not Truth but Justice as part of a larger ideological program of radical social change. And today, the pervasive sociological way of seeing, understanding, and explaining our world has become the "new common sense" right across the Western world, both inside and outside the academy. Sociological thought, however, is neither "new" nor "advanced" nor is it "progressive" as its adherents claim: it is simply recrudescent Sophistry and Cynicism, destructive philosophies which ruined and fouled ancient Athens, the source and inspiration for Western civilization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reinhardt Lincke knows she’s dying. She’s spent years planning, quietly amassing an army and followers to lead an insurrection against the throne to avenge her dear father’s death. But it was all for naught—and with her last breath she makes a desperate wish, a plea for another chance at retribution. She awakens and sees her father’s casket. She’s at his funeral, fifteen years prior. Right before Crown Prince Michel will arrive and demand their divorce. She doesn’t know if this is a final gift from her father’s spirit, but she won’t allow this blessing to go to waste. Armed with fifteen years of resentment and her father’s beloved sword, stabbing Michel is as sweet as she could have hoped, but maiming an imperial prince has its consequences. Michel survives, sparing Reinhardt from execution, but she is stripped of her wealth and titles and exiled to the far north, where she will have to begin her scheming anew. Except, another gift presents itself on her journey north: a boy, half-starved and feral—a seemingly paltry offering. Only, Reinhardt knows better. The wild boy would go on to become Michel’s coveted champion knight, ruthless and unmatched. But, this time, she’s found him first. The only revenge sweeter than crippling a prince is stealing his prized hound. But Reinhardt learns that showing a mad dog kindness means he's yours for life, and her new knight will do anything to make her his in return. Volume 2 contains Parts 7 – 9 of the original serialization. You can find subsequent chapters on the Tappytoon app. Enjoy the official webcomic of I Tamed My Ex-husband’s Mad Dog on Tappytoon app.

Download or read book Capitalism without Capital written by Jonathan Haskel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in the twenty-first century, a quiet revolution occurred. For the first time, the major developed economies began to invest more in intangible assets, like design, branding, and software, than in tangible assets, like machinery, buildings, and computers. For all sorts of businesses, the ability to deploy assets that one can neither see nor touch is increasingly the main source of long-term success. But this is not just a familiar story of the so-called new economy. Capitalism without Capital shows that the growing importance of intangible assets has also played a role in some of the larger economic changes of the past decade, including the growth in economic inequality and the stagnation of productivity. Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake explore the unusual economic characteristics of intangible investment and discuss how an economy rich in intangibles is fundamentally different from one based on tangibles. Capitalism without Capital concludes by outlining how managers, investors, and policymakers can exploit the characteristics of an intangible age to grow their businesses, portfolios, and economies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Kingdoms in Peril is an epic historical novel covering the five hundred and fifty years of the Eastern Zhou dynasty, from the civil wars and invasions that marked the birth of a new regime in 771 BCE to the unification of China in 221 BCE. Kingdoms in Peril was written in the 1640s, at the very end of the Ming dynasty, by the great novelist Feng Menglong (1574-1646). In the course of the one hundred and eight chapters of the complete novel, he documents the collapse of the Zhou confederacy during the Spring and Autumn period (771-475 BCE) and the slow rebuilding of civil society during the Warring States era (475-221 BCE) which culminated in the unification of China under the First Emperor of the Qin dynasty (r. 246-221 BCE as king; r. 221-210 BCE as emperor). Thus overall this novel describes a grand arc, from stability to chaos and back again. As a novel about politics, much of the narrative in Kingdoms in Peril concentrates on the exercise of power"--
