Book excerpt: Annalise I was his from the moment I said "I do." With my father owing him over two million dollars, I was offered up as payment. It wasn't a surprise, I always knew I meant little to nothing to the man who gave me life. His fists and misplaced blame for my mother's death ensured that. Without her to reign in his anger, I was alone. There was only so much the two people around me that cared could do to restrict the damage. So when, rather than part with a single cent, he decided to offer me up as collateral for his own bad decisions, I had no choice but to play my part and marry the devil with the charming face and faded Irish accent. Killian McCarthy was known throughout Los Angeles. A wealthy business owner to the world, but that's not all he is. He's ruthless, obsessive, and even with the scar that runs along his face, the most handsome man I've ever had the misfortune of meeting. But as time wears on, I see a different side to the man who would rather kill me than divorce me. I see his need to control above all else, but there's something more beneath the surface. Something that calls to me in the dark, promising to protect me and be the strength I need to get through this life. He demands respect and submission, in return, I could have a life I never even dreamed of, a life I thought long since forgotten. He gives me hope within the gilded cage I've found myself in. Until one night, he rips it all away. One night and he turns the tide, forcing me to become someone new, someone stronger. And when I personally serve him his divorce papers? The game changes once more. Killian She was mine from the second I laid eyes on her. The sheltered Mason family Princess. It was supposed to be an easy marriage, one she'd been trained for her entire life. But there was always more to Anna than meets the eye. So innocent at first, making me want to cage my little dove until she willingly accepted flying free would never be an option. While her innocence-or lack thereof-was revealed on our wedding night, I still couldn't let her go. I was drawn to her, needing to possess her in the way she does me. She says I'm the devil, the villain of her story, and maybe I am, I'm no saint after all. But she changed the game, made me care, earned my trust and broke her promise. When she reappears, attempting to buy her release from me, I'm forced to show her just how far I'm willing to go in order to recapture my wife. My perfect little dove. Author's Comment: This is a dark romance with a list of TW. Part one of the Caging His duet, ends on a cliffhanger with book two expected to release by the end of August.

Download or read book Rita Dove s Cosmopolitanism written by Malin Pereira and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize-winner and former poet laureate of the United States, Rita Dove has written prolifically since the early 1970s. In this, the first full-length critical study of her entire body of work by an American scholar, Malin Pereira traces the development of Dove's literary voice, looking at the ways she combines racial specificity with the perspective of the unraced universal. Pereira examines Dove's poetry, fiction, drama, and literary criticism closely and chronologically, charting her path through the racially charged culture wars of the 1970s and 1980s. She demonstrates how Dove eventually transcended racial protocols that threaten to define her work and moves into a nomadic poetic articulation of her cosmopolitan identity. As Pereira addresses Rita Dove's cosmopolitanism, she also examines the thematic concerns that reoccur in Dove's work - themes, such as incest, miscegenation, nomadism, the blues, and patriarchal oppression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The timeless, bestselling four-part epic that began with the Pulitzer Prize-winning Lonesome Dove takes readers into the lives of Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call, two tough-as-nails Texas Rangers in the heyday of the Old West. Dead Man’s Walk As young Texas Rangers, Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call--"Gus" and "Call" for short--have much to learn about survival in a land fraught with perils: not only the blazing heat and raging tornadoes, roiling rivers and merciless Indians, but also the deadly whims of soldiers. On their first expeditions--led by incompetent officers and accompanied by the robust, dauntless whore known as the Great Western--they will face death at the hands of the cunning Comanche war chief Buffalo Hump and the silent Apache Gomez. They will be astonished by the Mexican army. And Gus will meet the love of his life. Comanche Moon Texas Rangers August McCrae and Woodrow Call, now in their middle years, are still figuring out how to deal with the ever-increasing tensions of adult life--Gus with his great love, Clara Forsythe, and Call with Maggie Tilton, the young whore who loves him--when they sign up to pursue the Comanche horse thief Kicking Wolf into Mexico. On this mission their captain, Inish Scull, is captured by the brutally cruel Mexican bandit Ahumado, and Gus and Call must come to the rescue, with the aid of new friends including Joshua Deets, Jake Spoon, and Pea Eye Parker, as well as the renowned Kickapoo tracker, Famous Shoes. Lonesome Dove Gus and Call, now retired from the Texas Rangers and settled in the border town of Lonesome Dove running the Hat Creek Cattle Company, are visited by their old friend Jake Spoon, who convinces Gus and Call to gather a herd of cattle and drive them north to Montana in order to start a cattle ranch in untouched territory. Gus is further motivated by a desire to see the love of his life, Clara Allen (nee Forsythe), who now lives with her children and comatose horse-trader husband in Ogallala, Nebraska. On the way to Montana they travel through wild country full of thieves, murderers, and a lifetime's worth of unforgettable adventure. Streets of Laredo Woodrow Call is back in Texas, a Ranger once again and a general gun-for-hire, but increasingly a relic as the westward sprawl of the railroads rapidly settles the once lawless frontier. Hired by a railroad tycoon to hunt down a dangerous bandit named Joey Garza, Call sets out once again with a hapless Yankee named Ned Brookshire who works for the railroad company that hired Call. Call's old friend Pea Eye Parker--who initially refused to join the expedition because of his family--sets off with the Kickapoo tracker Famous Shoes to try to catch up with Call, until he runs into troubles of his own. The long pursuit of Garza leads them all across the last wild stretches of the West into a hellhole known as Crow Town and, finally, into the vast, relentless plains of the Texas frontier.

Download or read book Providence of a Sparrow written by Chris Chester and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2004-04-13 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There’s a special providence in the fall of a sparrow.” --William Shakespeare, Hamlet B fell twenty-five feet from his nest into the life of Chris Chester. The encounter was providential for both of them. B and Chester spent hours together playing games like bottle-cap fetch or hide-and-seek. They learned “words” in each other’s vocabularies. B developed a fetish for nostrils and a dislike of the color yellow. He grew anxious if Chester came home late from work. At bedtime he would rub his sleepy eyes on Chester’s thumb and settle to sleep in his palm. Chester ended up turning part of his house into an aviary and adjusting his social life to meet B’s demands. This was a small price to pay, though, for the trust and comfort of a twenty-five-gram friend who brought joy and wonder back into his life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Lord laid the writing of this book on my heart, He was very specific in all details, including the dimensions, the colors to be used, the style of the cover. As I recorded His instruction, I thought of Moses up the mountain with God, getting extremely specific instructions for all the elements of the tabernacle. No detail was too small because what was being made in the earthly realm was to represent truth in the heavenly realm. The Holy of Holies is the next station which the true Church is appointed to occupy. We are moving beyond the altar of incense and the furniture of the Holy Place and we are pressing into the glory, where no manmade light illuminates. It is time for the key of the House of David to be made available to the end-time-Church. The release of the sound of the end-time wine will be involved with this handover. We are moving from the Church age to the Kingdom age. This book opens a door to the unseen realm of sound and light waiting for this generation of God-seekers.

Download or read book Keaton s Silent Shorts written by Gabriella Oldham and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2010-08-20 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filling a major gap in the critical canon, Keaton’s Classic Shorts: Beyond the Laughter chronicles the rapid growth in the filmmaker’s understanding of what makes both comedy and film successful. Keaton developed his major themes in these nineteen silent short films shot between 1920 and 1923, creating his persona “Buster” with his trademark stone face. These short films clearly indicate Keaton’s love of the camera and his concern for composition, symmetry, and images that delight the eye and startle the mind. Oldham reconstructs each of these rarely seen films to enable the reader to “watch” Keaton’s performance, devoting a separate chapter to each. She analyzes each film’s strengths, weaknesses, and prevalent themes and threads. She also enables readers to plumb the depths of what seems to be surface comedy through philosophical, biographical, historical, and critical commentary, thus linking the shorts together into a cohesive study of Buster Keaton’s growth through his three-year independent venture as a filmmaker. Beyond the laughter and beyond the great stone face, Oldham presents a treasure of cinema comedy and a unique philosophy of life as captured by a great filmmaker.
