Download or read book Mr Masters written by T L Swan and published by Arndell. This book was released on 2024-09-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Wall Street Journal, BookTok, and #1 Amazon bestselling author T L Swan comes the new edition of the steamy first title in her fan-favorite Mr. Series. When Brielle Johnson lied on her resume, she didn’t expect it to matter. She believed any child would love her; that she was born to be a nanny. So, she applied for a position in London working for a widowed woman, or so she thought… But Julian Masters is definitely all man… The kind you dream of licking chocolate from. He’s grumpy, arrogant and always used to being in control. The last thing he needed was a young, inexperienced nanny turning his carefully constructed world upside down. Brielle’s first day was bad. The kids were the spawn of the devil, and she spied through a window and caught him doing something obscene…and equally fascinating. The second day was worse; he caught her snooping in his bathroom cabinet in her skimpy pyjamas, and all hell broke loose. On the third day, she ran over him in a golf cart. And by day four, Brielle had decided that she wanted that chocolate…all of it. Melted…on her. But intelligent, widowed judges don’t fall for their young, spirited nannies…
Download or read book Poor Things written by Alasdair Gray and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Alasdair Gray's most brilliant creations, Poor Things is a postmodern revision of Frankenstein that replaces the traditional monster with Bella Baxter--a beautiful young erotomaniac brought back to life with the brain of an infant. Godwin Baxter's scientific ambition to create the perfect companion is realized when he finds the drowned body of Bella, but his dream is thwarted by Dr. Archibald McCandless's jealous love for Baxter's creation.The hilarious tale of love and scandal that ensues would be "the whole story" in the hands of a lesser author (which in fact it is, for this account is actually written by Dr. McCandless). For Gray, though, this is only half the story, after which Bella (a.k.a. Victoria McCandless) has her own say in the matter.Satirizing the classic Victorian novel, Poor Things is a hilarious political allegory and a thought-provoking duel between the desires of men and the independence of women, from one of Scotland's most accomplished authors.

Book excerpt: In the last surviving human city, an ex-spy gets sucked into a dangerous quest that will take him beyond the city walls when a winged man turns up dead in his morgue in this innovative and original dystopian space adventure. Spearpoint, the last human city, is an enormous atmosphere-piercing spire. Clinging to its skin are the zones, a series of semi-autonomous city-states, each of which enjoys a different—and rigidly enforced—level of technology. Following an infiltration mission that went tragically wrong, Quillon has been living incognito, working as a pathologist in the district morgue. But when a near-dead angel drops onto his dissecting table, Quillon's world is wrenched apart one more time, for the angel is a winged posthuman from Spearpoint's Celestial Levels—and with the dying body comes bad news. If Quillon is to save his life, he must leave his home and journey into the cold and hostile lands beyond Spearpoint's base, starting an exile that will take him further than he could ever imagine. But there is far more at stake than just Quillon's own survival, for the limiting technologies of the zones are determined not by governments or police, but by the very nature of reality—and reality itself is showing worrying signs of instability . . .
