Four full-length novels are included in this bundle: Drowning Mermaids To escape the war in her underwater kingdom, the noble daughter of a murdered king must flee to Alaska. Doing all she can to keep her younger sisters safe, Aazuria tries to assimilate and work among the Americans, with her feisty red-haired bodyguard at her side. This refuge holds pleasant surprises, for the princess meets a somber gentleman in a dark corner who promises to show her his world. Trevain Murphy is a successful crab fisherman who has spent his life building an empire above the sea, but knows nothing of the greater empire beneath the surface. When a graceful dancer captures his attention, he becomes fascinated with her. As it becomes clear that the dark-haired woman is much more than she seems, Trevain is unprepared to uncover the staggering secrets behind her innocent facade. Neither the captain nor the princess can imagine that their lives will become forcibly entwined as a common enemy threatens both of their worlds... Fathoms of Forgiveness There is no divorce in the undersea kingdom of Adlivun. Marriage is a bond that lasts until death--even if death comes in several centuries, and in that time your spouse happens to become your sworn enemy. This is the conflict that General Visola Ramaris faces when she learns that the mighty Vachlan is behind the attacks on her kingdom. She has sworn to protect Adlivun with her life, but long ago, she also swore to love and honor her husband... Princess Aazuria forbids Visola from taking matters into her own hands, but she cannot protect her friend from the evil grip of her former lover. Visola must choose whether she will destroy Vachlan once and for all, or attempt the hardest thing conceivable: communication. After two hundred years of desertion, she has no faith in their feeble bond and knows she can never forgive him. When he threatens the person dearest to her, she must take action. Confronting Vachlan on enemy territory will be nothing short of suicide, but she has no choice... Boundless Sea With Queen Aazuria missing, the undersea kingdom of Adlivun has been thrust into political unrest and turmoil. Elandria is expected to take over her sister's responsibilities, but she is overwhelmed with depression. The sea-dwellers are desperately in need of protection from the foreign submarine superpower known as The Clan of Zalcan. Although it is ancient tradition for the mermaids to conceal and protect their people from land-dwelling societies, they decide to finally reveal themselves to the American public and seek assistance. After much political debate by the countries of the Pacific Rim, America and Russia have decided to help: on one condition. The mermaids must join APEC and contribute endless labor to the organization, helping to build and indefinitely maintain a massive trans-pacific highway tunnel which will link Alaska to the Chukotka Peninsula. This will allow land-traffic to travel between North America and Eurasia for the first time, changing the economy of the world forever. Abyssal Zone Aazuria Vellamo has returned to the undersea kingdom of Adlivun only to find that the place she called home for over five hundred years has changed drastically. Having been forsaken as dead several years ago, she finds her husband in the arms of another woman. Once the beloved rightful queen, Aazuria is now an outcast hiding among the commoners. She observes the political situation from a distance, trying to maneuver her daughter into the safest place possible-- but Aazuria quickly discovers that no part of the expanding nation is safe any longer...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Punishing Thirst - Grumpy Hero Dante Drago saves the day — for a price — he demands Savanna López stand in as his Fake Fiancé in this steamy Mafia Romance. Dante: She needs rescuing, but the very thought of having Savanna caged up, beholden to me, makes my pulse quicken and certain parts of my anatomy swell. From the second I meet her, I know I’ll devour her faster than a piece of the delicious carrot cake she makes. She’s on the run. I’ll keep her secret, but she owes me one. She’ll be under my lock and key, except for her shifts at the bakery. The only problem with my plan is that it backfires. Now she has my baby inside her, and there are two people to look after instead of one. Lord knows, I’m no angel. But I have to defend her, and keep our baby safe. Commanding Thirst - Made Man, Antonio Drago forgot most of what he learned in school — but bookworm Daphne Pruitt swallows him up heart and soul in this second chance, mafia romance. Antonio: Ever since walking her home every day from school, I fell hard for her. It was wrong then, but now she’s of age. And she needs my help again. Her sister’s in deep with the Cartel, and has gone missing. Right on schedule, it’s Daphne’s job to save her. It’s time someone took care of my baby girl for a change. I never professed to be above bribery, and I'm a dark devil after all, because once I specify my demands I can no longer resist her. Right then I know I’ll shock the hell out of her like I’ve been wanting to do since that first day I walked her home from high school. There. I admitted it. I’m a rotten scoundrel. The question is, will she forgive me? Obsessive Thirst - An Italian mobster. A missing fiancé. A forbidden obsession he cannot resist. Enzo Drago: I watch her like a hawk. Someone has to. My best friend’s daughter has a knack for getting herself into trouble. Turns out, protecting her isn’t as easy as I expected. She doesn’t realize I’m obsessed with her. Watching over her when she has no clue I’m there. Taking photos to stare at later on, privately, satisfying my urges while looking at her hot pics. My vow to keep my hands off her is impossible when she follows me around like a lost puppy. Does she tempt me on purpose? Or is that the wishful thinking of a beaten and battered, middle-aged gangster? Tessa’s clueless about how much trouble her outstanding debt to the Dragos will bring. I kept them at bay as long as I could, but we’re not running a charity operation here. Crazy chemistry aside, I’m the wrong guy for her — a monster disguised in an expensive suit. But no matter how hard I try to resist, I can’t stop thinking of making her my toy. Showing her the rules of my game. Risking just one touch to fulfill a forever fantasy. She is sunshine and I am darkness, and I assumed I controlled the stakes between us. But now Tessa’s in real trouble. You can bet your life on it, there’s going to be hell to pay. Captive Thirst - A cartel princess in disguise. An attempted kidnapping. One arranged marriage to strengthen the crime family syndicate. Carlos Drago: Her scent gave her away. Pure female. She hid her true identity, so she could race my colt, and I’ll be damned if she didn’t win. When enemies tried to snatch her up and stuff her in a trunk, I drove them off and took her home. The problem is, she makes me feel. Gabriela has no idea about my plans for us both, and when she finds out, that spark in her smile that I love so much might go away. Ours will be a marriage that unites our families. The very thought of her unhappiness makes this fearsome soldier, whose body is a deadly weapon, deeply, irrevocably afraid. I can’t lose her. Though my hands are scarred with murder, I lull her to sleep every night and kiss her eyes. She is my weakness. Despite being stronger than iron, I cannot resist her. When trouble comes looking for her, I hunt it down. She’s my family now. Nobody hurts my family and lives. No one. This Juicy Mafia Romance box set is full of super possessive, hot heroes who stop at nothing to protect their girl.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Become a bartender at The Vixen's Den, they said. The owner isn't really a vampire, they said. It'll be fun, they said. And suddenly I'm neck deep in a world I've never really believed in, no matter what my crazy Great Aunt Mabel used to say. Seriously, I have more than enough drama in my life already, without adding an irresistibly mesmerizing nightclub owner to the mix. My boss—a man with a penchant for trouble and the echo of tragedy lurking behind his dark gaze. My new coworkers appear to be universally insane. My deadbeat ex is in trouble with a capital "T," and if history is any indication, he'll do his best to drag my son and me right along with him. In other news, I'm also being hounded by creditors who seem to think you can make money appear in someone's bank account by threatening them over the phone. (Though to be fair, if that approach worked, I'd be all for it. Spoiler alert—it doesn't.) To top it all off, while my back was turned, I've somehow become a chess piece in a cold war between supernatural factions. Just because magic supposedly runs in my family doesn't mean I know the first thing about Fae or demons or vampires or any of this craziness. But it looks like I'm gonna have to learn. Because now they're coming after the thing I hold most dear — my son. And I'll do anything to get him back. Watch out, paranormal world.

Download or read book Omar Khayyam s Secret Hermeneutics of the Robaiyat in Quantum Sociological Imagination Book 5 Khayyami Theology written by Mohammad H. Tamdgidi and published by Ahead Publishing House (imprint: Okcir Press). This book was released on 2022-05-01 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Omar Khayyam's Secret: Hermeneutics of the Robaiyat in Quantum Sociological Imagination, by Mohammad H. Tamdgidi, is a twelve-book series of which this book is the fifth volume, subtitled Khayyami Theology: The Epistemological Structures of the Robaiyat in All the Philosophical Writings of Omar Khayyam Leading to His Last Keepsake Treatise. Each book, independently readable, can be best understood as a part of the whole series. In Book 5, to understand the theological epistemology (or, way of knowing God) framing Khayyam's Robaiyat as spread out in all his philosophical works, Tamdgidi further offers the texts and his updated Persian and new English translations and analyses of six primary writings that preceded Khayyam's last keepsake treatise on the universals of existence: 1: Khayyam's annotated Persian translation of Avicenna's sermon in Arabic on God and creation; 2: Khayyam's treatise in Arabic addressed to Nasawi (wrongly regarded as an Avicenna pupil) on the created world and worship duty; 3-5: Khayyam's three treatises in Arabic (all addressed to Abu Taher, to whom Khayyam also dedicated his treatise on algebra) that are separate chapters of a three-part treatise on existence on topics ranging from the necessity of contradiction, determinism, survival, attributes of existents, and the light of intellect on 'existent' as the subject matter of universal science; and 6: Khayyam's treatise in Arabic addressed to Moshkavi (a supportive Shia intellectual) in response to three questions on soul's survival, on the necessity of accidents, and on the nature of time. The most fruitful way of understanding Khayyam's six texts is by regarding them as efforts made at defending his "succession order" thesis implicitly revealed when commenting on Avicenna's sermon and finalized in his last keepsake treatise. The texts served to offer the theological epistemology behind Khayyam's thesis, revealing his creative conceptualist view of existence that informed his poetic way of going about knowing God, creation, and himself within a unitary Islamic creationist-evolutionary worldview. Khayyam's way of knowing God and existence is non-dualistic, non-atomistic, and unitary in worldview, allowing for subject-included objectivity, probabilistic determinism, transcontinuous (or 'discontinuous') creative causality, transdisciplinarity, and transculturalism; it thus fulfils in a prescient way all the eight attributes of the quantum vision. Poetry is most conducive to unitary knowing, and subject-included objectivity must necessarily be self-reflective and thus engage intellective, emotional, and sensible modes of knowing. This explains why Khayyam transcended scholastic learning in favor of a poetic encounter with reality. What he meant by 'Drunkenness,' calling it the highest state of mind known to him, can thus be best understood as a unitary, quantum state of mind achieved by way of his poetry as a meditative art of self-purification. The goal, metaphorically, is to move from a way of knowing things as divisible grapes to a pure and unitary way of knowing them as indivisible Wine-paralleling what we call today moving from chunky Newtonian toward unitary quantum visions of reality. The key for entering Khayyam's secret tent is realizing that what he primarily meant by 'Wine' in his Robaiyat was self-referentially his Robaiyat itself, a key openly hidden therein thanks to his theological epistemology. For him, the Robaiyat was a lifelong work on himself, serving also human spiritual awakening to its place and duty in the succession order of God's creation. It also served his aspiration for a lasting soul. He knew the now-proven worth of his secret magnum opus, and that is why he so much praised his 'Wine.'

Book excerpt: This discounted bundle contains the first four books in the Kingdom LitRPG series. Kingdom Level One A broken kingdom for a reluctant king. Robert was content with his life as a night-shift janitor. No stress, no worries, and no responsibilities. But this idyllic existence is turned upside down when he suddenly finds himself trapped inside a fantasy Role Playing Game. Confused and alone he must find a way to escape back to his own world and, more importantly, to his daughter. But to do that he must take up the biggest responsibility of all: To rule a kingdom. Kingdom Level Two A baptism of fire for a neophyte king. Resigned to his fate, Robert must adapt to his new role as King of Anika. Expected to cleanse the kingdom of its many festering problems, he starts by trying to gain levels and useful skills. But the daunting task quickly becomes a lesson in humility as he finds himself underpowered and overwhelmed. Desperate for gear and experience points, he stumbles upon a secret place so terrifying, he questions whether he can be an adventurer king at all. For here he must learn the one true skill that matters above all others: Survival. Kingdom Level Three What is a king without a kingdom? When every citizen of Anika suddenly vanishes without a trace, Rob finds himself completely alone in his little kingdom. He must locate his people and quick, or risk losing even more. Armed only with low level skills and crummy gear he must travel into the Western Mountains where troglodytes skulk in dark tunnels and dragons rule the sky. But there's one vital weapon he needs to help in his quest, and it will take a tremendous act of courage to acquire. Magic. Kingdom Level Four Kingdom Building 101 Rob's grasp on his fledgling kingdom is tenuous, at best. Expansion is impossible thanks to an angry war-clan of goblins encroaching on the eastern border. Also, monsters and bandits run rampant within the valley threatening his subjects. And since trade is nonexistent and supply lines are dead, the ramshackle village must be kick-started into an economically viable town – one that generates income for the meager royal treasury, instead of sapping it. The responsibility for each of these problems are his alone whether he likes it or not. But there's a larger concern which casts a dark cloud over everything. His is not the only kingdom and neighboring rulers have started to view this janitor-turned-king as either an exploitable ally... … or easy prey. litrpg, gamelit, cyberpunk, fantasy, science fiction, series, action, adventure, bundle, collection, anthology, omnibus

Now, years later, she's back, haunted by a need she couldn't outrun and determined to finally set herself free from wishes that can never come true. In the army, Kane Villalobos traveled the world, seeking other shapeshifters who'd learned to live in harmony with human, only to find secrecy and death. He's destined to become alpha of the Mesa Diablo pack, but he can't forget the lush curves and quick mouth of the girl he had to leave behind. Seeing her again arouses his wolf in dangerous ways, and keeping her safe—from himself and the perils of the werewolf world—might mean letting her go forever. JOKER The mating moon is high… Born and raised in a clandestine paramilitary cult dedicated to destroying all shapeshifting monsters, Leela Jones has to prove her worth by testing her deadly new revolvers on the terrible white wolfman. Too bad he caught her. Even worse, she's not sure if she wants to get away. Vicious werewolf hunters killed Bastian Villalobos' father and left him to run wild, dreaming of a someday revenge. But when that someday comes, it's in the soft, quiet shape of a lonely woman suffering the same pain as him. She knows him in a way no one else does, and together they could broker a ceasefire between their people. Except not everyone wants peace… ROGUE The mating moon goes dark… Rafael Villalobos is a werewolf without his wolf. The beast is rogue, gone hunting without him, making Rafe even more of a menace to his pack than the wolf hunters who hate them. He doesn't know what the wolf wants…until it leads him straight to the sassy, luscious Darling Rowan. Bitten by a rogue wolf that may or may not have been the sexiest Villalobos boy, Dare knows her quiet days as the county librarian are coming to an end. She'll be coming too, if she can just get a certain stubborn man to admit that the simmering heat between them is more than the mating moon. Bonus thunderbird shifter story! WARRIOR After the mating moon sets, the trouble is only beginning… Thunder Cole may be the last of his kind. He'll help his distant shapeshifter kindred with their werewolf hunter problem, but then he's moving on — alone. Until he meets Elizabeth Rowan. Bets became "Auntie Fate", a fake psychic tarot reader, to support her orphaned niece, but she doesn't believe in the woo-woo magical world. Until she meets Thunder Cole. Both of them think their second chances are long gone. They couldn't be more wrong. But a bitter enemy on a quest for vengeance against the wolves of Angels Rest may destroy everything they love. A doubter will believe, a warrior will rise, and passion will rule the day... _________________________________________________ Keywords: werewolf wolf shifter paranormal romance alpha male fated mates second chance at love friends to lovers coming home military hero thunderbird bbw

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Brueggen Stones: When two brueggen stones are dropped Over Shagger' s dreary rock Gefcla' s evil will be stopped. Lynn' s life isn' t interesting, until she falls on a Chicago sidewalk and sees yellow, orange, and green lights flitting past. The next time she opens her eyes, she' s in a forest that has huge roots coming out of the ground. A man with tennis ball-sized eyes howls at her— and that' s just the beginning. Chell and the other Stalli warriors are on a hopeless series of raids against a ruthless enemy who outnumbers them. Keshua has given them a foretelling rhyme, but they have no idea how to fulfill it, they feel deathly ill anywhere near a brueggen stone. Is Lynn the answer to saving them? And will she realize it in time to help? Under the Golden Mists: “ Help me!” the girl' s voice sobs. It' s only a dream, Lacht tells herself. But what if it isn't? Under Wasso Lake live the Wassandra. The underwater people have abnormally long arms and fingers and aren' t to be trusted— at least that' s what Stalli guide, Crispin, tells Lacht and her family as he takes them to a village on the shores of the lake. Lacht is intrigued; especially when she hears the Wassandra want help to find a missing child. Then dreams of the frightened girl begin troubling her. When they arrive at the golden lake, Lacht thinks it' s the most beautiful place she' s ever seen— until a bizarre discovery terrifies her. “ Help me!” cries the Wassandra girl in one last dream, but can Lacht find the courage to face the horrifying creature she sees in that dream? The Opal Cavern: Curl says she' d rather die than spend the rest of her life trapped under Wasso Lake. What if her wish is coming true? Nineteen-years-old and still longing to see new things, Curl plans an exploration trip with Lynn' s sons, Mindik and Chera. Their goal is to find Tarth' s legendary Opal Cavern. Lacht has recurrent, heavy feelings that her Wassandra friend shouldn' t go, but nobody listens and the team leaves. Then Wave learns something from an old Wassandra diary that can mean life or death for Curl. A rescue team rushes off but they don' t know how long it will take to find her. They do know that if they don' t find her soon, time will run out before they can get her back. The Stone Walkers: One of the boulders moved. Slowly, impossibly, it stood upright. A grating sound came from it, and the other boulder slowly moved upward. For a long time, the boulders stood next to each other, motionless. Finally, as if hearing a cue only they could hear, they moved forward out of the small chamber. The Stone Walkers were walking again.
