Please proceed with caution as the book contains graphic violence and sexual content that is recommended for mature reading audiences with an open mind only!EXCERPT:"Turn around and look at me." The order was thrown in a chillingly calm tone.Trembling and worried about the consequences, Anika slowly turned, and raised her eyes toward the man in front of her. Her vision was still blurry from the residual moisture. She wiped her tears away and was met with the sight of the broad back of a tall man. He was turned away from her as he closed the door shut. Stepping back, she wrapped her arms around her protectively. She kept her wary eyes trained on his back, waiting for what, she didn't know.As soon as he turned, she felt like the air was sucked away from around them, making her gasp out loud. The man looked larger than life, and more importantly, he looked like he could easily kill her with a single blow.His eyes scanned the mess she had made in the room, before he turned to look at her face dispassionately. She expected to see anger, but there was none. He didn't say anything for a long moment, just kept his eyes firmly locked on her face.After an indeterminate amount of time, he broke the deafening silence. "So. You are my bride-to-be," he stated rather than ask in a deep voice.After an indeterminate amount of time, he broke the deafening silence. "So. You are my bride-to-be," he stated rather than ask in a deep voice.The word 'bride' broke through her trance and made adrenaline course through her body.God, this is so messed up. Why am I cowering in fear?"I don't want this," she whispered, unable to work up a louder voice. She kept her eyes on his face, pleading. "Please stop this marriage."He didn't respond, and neither did he react."I don't want this wedding," she repeated. "We can think of another solution. We should be able to come up with a reasonable..." her voice trailed off when she saw him compressing his lips into a thin, hard line as he began to walk toward her.Through trembling lips, she spoke again. "I'm not from your world. I don't belong here. Let me go back to my family," she reasoned.The man stopped in front of her until he was too close for comfort. His eyes were riveted on her face as his mouth stretched into a sneer full of hate and loathe. "We are getting married because your precious family has begged me to do so. So, if you or your fucking family tries to pull any stunt during our wedding today, and try to back out, I'm not going to spare anyone." He spat out the words 'your family' like they were a curse.Slowly and deliberately his eyes swept over her body clothed in traditional bridal attire. "Nothing and no one--including you--can stop this from happening. You will become my wife by tonight," he vowed.Listening to those words, her legs gave out from under her, and she collapsed on her knees unable to swallow the defeat.How could she let herself be trapped in this hellhole? Because of her one impulsive decision, she was going to lose everything.

Book excerpt: The first installment in a sexy new paranormal romance series by Larissa Ione, author of the bestselling Demonica series! Nicole Martin was only eight years old when she narrowly survived a massacre: her family’s vampire slaves rebelled and killed everyone in her household. Twenty years later, Nicole now dedicates herself to finding a vaccine against vampirism…and eradicating the gruesome memories that give her nightmares. Riker, a member of the wild vampire Moon Clan, is haunted by his own demons—his wife Lorraine had been captured and enslaved by the Martin family. It was during a botched escape attempt that she was killed, along with their unborn child. Still wracked with grief and anger, Riker is now fueled solely by the desire to rescue vampire slaves…and slaughter their owners. When Riker stumbles upon Nicole in a chance meeting, he immediately recognizes her as a member of the Martin family that once enslaved his wife—and she recognizes him as the wild vampire she saw kissing a pregnant slave in the moments before her violent death—an image that has haunted her dreams for years. When Riker kidnaps Nicole and they spend a night together in a cave on the way back to his clan, suddenly they begin to realize that they aren’t as different from one another as they may have thought—and they’re finding themselves drawn to one another…

Download or read book Payback written by Thane Rosenbaum and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-04-10 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We call it justice—the assassination of Osama bin Laden, the incarceration of corrupt politicians or financiers like Rod Blagojevich and Bernard Madoff, and the climactic slaying of cinema-screen villains by superheroes. But could we not also call it revenge? We are told that revenge is uncivilized and immoral, an impulse that individuals and societies should actively repress and replace with the order and codes of courtroom justice. What, if anything, distinguishes punishment at the hands of the government from a victim’s individual desire for retribution? Are vengeance and justice really so very different? No, answers legal scholar and novelist Thane Rosenbaum in Payback: The Case for Revenge—revenge is, in fact, indistinguishable from justice. Revenge, Rosenbaum argues, is not the problem. It is, in fact, a perfectly healthy emotion. Instead, the problem is the inadequacy of lawful outlets through which to express it. He mounts a case for legal systems to punish the guilty commensurate with their crimes as part of a societal moral duty to satisfy the needs of victims to feel avenged. Indeed, the legal system would better serve the public if it gave victims the sense that vengeance was being done on their behalf. Drawing on a wide range of support, from recent studies in behavioral psychology and neuroeconomics, to stories of vengeance and justice denied, to revenge practices from around the world, to the way in which revenge tales have permeated popular culture—including Hamlet, The Godfather, and Braveheart—Rosenbaum demonstrates that vengeance needs to be more openly and honestly discussed and lawfully practiced. Fiercely argued and highly engaging, Payback is a provocative and eye-opening cultural tour of revenge and its rewards—from Shakespeare to The Sopranos. It liberates revenge from its social stigma and proves that vengeance is indeed ours, a perfectly human and acceptable response to moral injury. Rosenbaum deftly persuades us to reconsider a misunderstood subject and, along the way, reinvigorates the debate on the shape of justice in the modern world.
