Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens returns to the Cynsters’ next generation with an evocative tale of two people striving to overcome unusual hurdles in order to claim true love. A nobleman wedded to the lady he loves strives to overwrite five years of masterful pretence and open his wife’s eyes to the fact that he loves her as much as she loves him. Lord Devlin Cader, Earl of Alverton, married Therese Cynster five years ago. What he didn’t tell her then and has assiduously hidden ever since—for what seemed excellent reasons at the time—is that he loves her every bit as much as she loves him. For her own misguided reasons, Therese had decided that the adage that Cynsters always marry for love did not necessarily mean said Cynsters were loved in return. She accepted that was usually so, but being universally viewed by gentlemen as too managing, bossy, and opinionated, she believed she would never be loved for herself. Consequently, after falling irrevocably in love with Devlin, when he made it plain he didn’t love her yet wanted her to wife, she accepted the half love-match he offered, and once they were wed, set about organizing to make their marriage the very best it could be. Now, five years later, they are an established couple within the haut ton, have three young children, and Devlin is making a name for himself in business and political circles. There’s only one problem. Having attended numerous Cynster weddings and family gatherings and spent time with Therese’s increasingly married cousins, who with their spouses all embrace the Cynster ideal of marriage based on mutually acknowledged love, Devlin is no longer content with the half love-match he himself engineered. No fool, he sees and comprehends what the craven act of denying his love is costing both him and Therese and feels compelled to rectify his fault. He wants for them what all Therese’s married cousins enjoy—the rich and myriad benefits of marriages based on acknowledged mutual love. Love, he’s discovered, is too powerful a force to deny, leaving him wrestling with the conundrum of finding a way to convincingly reveal to Therese that he loves her without wrecking everything—especially the mutual trust—they’ve built over the past five years. A classic historical romance set amid the glittering world of the London haut ton. A Cynster Next Generation novel—a full-length historical romance of 110,000 words. Praise for The Games Lovers Play “A high-society Regency-era couple explores the genuine affection they share for one another against a sophisticated vintage backdrop. Unwaveringly eloquent, Games Lovers Play is as much a snapshot of a maturing marriage as it is an impassioned, provocative romance.” Libybet R. G., Proofreader, Red Adept Editing “It isn't fashionable for members of high society in mid-nineteenth-century London to be in love with their spouses, but Lord Devlin Cader, seventh Earl of Alverton, is. After several years of marriage, has he waited so long that she won't accept a declaration even if he makes it?” Kim H., Proofreader, Red Adept Editing “In the power couple of Devlin and Therese, Laurens has conjured a love story that is every bit as enthralling as those of her unmarried lords and ladies.” Angela M., Copy Editor, Red Adept Editing

Book excerpt: Games Lovers Play 3 picks up where Games Lovers Play 2 Ended! (This is not a stand alone book-strongly recommend starting with Games Lovers Play Book 1. Which Is Currently Available For Free On Kindle) Karen couldn't believe her eyes. Why in the hell was Rob holding a gun to Jason's head? She ran to where they were standing, "Rob NO! What are you doing?" Rob cut his eyes to Karen then quickly looked away. Karen fell to her knees and laid her head on the side of Jason's face. She wanted to get in between Jason and Rob's gun but couldn't. "Whatever he did," she paused and shook her head as she could feel tears build in her eyes, "It can't be this bad. Please Rob." She paused again, her voice cracking as she spoke softly. "Don't." Rob's eyes danced between the brother he wanted to kill and the sister-in-law he could never hurt. They all were silent as the constant beeping from the alarm system sounded indicating to turn the alarm off, but no one seemed to notice. Then a lady's voice was heard throughout the house, "BBC Security, is everything okay?" Jason slowly turned his head to Karen and nodded. He mouthed to her "Baby say yes." Karen looked around the room. She could hear her own heart beating. She looked up at Rob and saw tears streaming down his face. She didn't want to say everything was okay. But at the moment she had faith in her husband's judgement. "Yes, everything is alright." Karen said as calm as possible. "Who am I speaking with?" The woman's voice asked. "Karen Young." "Mrs. Young, what's your safe word?" She formed her lips to say "Children." The word that would send police to their home, but Jason stopped her. "No baby" he whispered. Karen took a deep breath, "Money" she responded. "Thank you Mrs. Young. I'll disconnect the alarm from our side and log this as a false call. You have a nice evening." Karen heard the alarm stop beeping and saw the light on the panel turn from red to green. "What the hell is going on?" She looked to Rob, "You're scaring me!" Rob could hear the fear in Karen's voice. "Don't worry Karen, I'm not going to kill you." He said as he pressed the gun harder to Jason's head...

Download or read book Seven Games A Human History written by Oliver Roeder and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A group biography of seven enduring and beloved games, and the story of why—and how—we play them. Checkers, backgammon, chess, and Go. Poker, Scrabble, and bridge. These seven games, ancient and modern, fascinate millions of people worldwide. In Seven Games, Oliver Roeder charts their origins and historical importance, the delightful arcana of their rules, and the ways their design makes them pleasurable. Roeder introduces thrilling competitors, such as evangelical minister Marion Tinsley, who across forty years lost only three games of checkers; Shusai, the Master, the last Go champion of imperial Japan, defending tradition against “modern rationalism”; and an IBM engineer who created a backgammon program so capable at self-learning that NASA used it on the space shuttle. He delves into the history and lore of each game: backgammon boards in ancient Egypt, the Indian origins of chess, how certain shells from a particular beach in Japan make the finest white Go stones. Beyond the cultural and personal stories, Roeder explores why games, seemingly trivial pastimes, speak so deeply to the human soul. He introduces an early philosopher of games, the aptly named Bernard Suits, and visits an Oxford cosmologist who has perfected a computer that can effectively play bridge, a game as complicated as human language itself. Throughout, Roeder tells the compelling story of how humans, pursuing scientific glory and competitive advantage, have invented AI programs better than any human player, and what that means for the games—and for us. Funny, fascinating, and profound, Seven Games is a story of obsession, psychology, history, and how play makes us human.

When time is up, pun makers share their puns with the prompter, who awards the prompt cards to the player whose pun he or she likes best. The winner then draws the next pair of prompt cards and the process repeats. Players win by obtaining 10 pairs of cards. - 200 double-sided cards (100 White and 100 Green) - 2 Mystery Envelopes with fill-in prize slips - 2 80-page pads for drafting puns - 1 instruction card and 1 pun example card - A stu-PUN-dous time for 3 or more players
