Destined to fall into deep slumber on her twenty first birthday, only to be awoken by true love's kiss. With no end in sight, Raina's only chance at beating the curse was the dark wizard that appeared one day, promising her salvation and a chance at a normal life. She didn't realize that the solution wouldn't be the potion that he carried, but the mysterious young man accompanying him. Draven was beautiful, kind...and much older than her. An enigma that she craved to solve. Her childish infatuation grew as she matured, until he became her entire world. Her everything. And then he disappeared out of the blue, leaving her heart-broken and confused. He was darkness and pain, and as a winged vampire - an abomination of nature and the only one of his kind. Fated to remain alone for the rest of his immortal existence, he wanted nothing to do with the girl whose life he was supposed to save. She was too young, a silly girl with stars in her eyes. But then that girl grew up and became a woman that he could no longer ignore. Her eyes lured him, her body tempted him. He wanted to keep her for himself, and so, he would do everything it took to make her love him once more. Even take away her freedom.

Book excerpt: Lily has never had problems with her mental health. She’s never worried about anything, not even her massive credit card debt or the creditors that insist on calling her daily. But that changes when she gets into a small car crash. Suddenly, Lily is unable to even think about leaving her apartment without having a panic attack. Thankfully, Lily’s two best friends, Autumn and Cora, live down the hall from her. They help her manage day-to-day tasks like walking her blind beagle, Phil, but Lily is still left alone for much of the day. An opportunity for more companionship presents itself when Cora decides to sign up for a dating app and matches with Michael the police officer. Too busy with work to chat with Michael, Cora leaves her phone with Lily during the day so she can talk to Michael while pretending to be Cora. But Lily keeps forgetting she’s meant to be chatting as Cora and keeps telling Michael facts about herself. When Cora and Michael finally meet, there’s confusion, mayhem, and a whole lot of explaining to do. Has Lily taken on too much or can she successfully navigate her mental health and a mistaken identity?

Download or read book Buy Yourself the F cking Lilies written by Tara Schuster and published by Dial Press. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brutally honest, often hilarious, hard-won lessons in learning to love and care for yourself from a former vice president at Comedy Central who was called “ahead of her time” by Jordan Peele “You’re going to want Tara Schuster to become your new best friend.”—Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed “Compelling, persuasive, and useful no matter where you are in your life.”—Chelsea Handler, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Life Will Be the Death of Me By the time she was in her late twenties, Tara Schuster was a rising TV executive who had worked for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and helped launch Key & Peele to viral superstardom. By all appearances, she had mastered being a grown-up. But beneath that veneer of success, she was a chronically anxious, self-medicating mess. No one knew that her road to adulthood had been paved with depression, anxiety, and shame, owing in large part to her minimally parented upbringing. She realized she’d hit rock bottom when she drunk-dialed her therapist pleading for help. Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies is the story of Tara’s path to re-parenting herself and becoming a “ninja of self-love.” Through simple, daily rituals, Tara transformed her mind, body, and relationships, and shows how to • fake gratitude until you actually feel gratitude • excavate your emotional wounds and heal them with kindness • identify your self-limiting beliefs, kick them to the curb, and start living a life you choose • silence your inner frenemy and shield yourself from self-criticism • carve out time each morning to start your day empowered, inspired, and ready to rule • create a life you truly, totally f*cking LOVE This is the book Tara wished someone had given her and it is the book many of us desperately need: a candid, hysterical, addictively readable, practical guide to growing up (no matter where you are in life) and learning to love yourself in a non-throw-up-in-your-mouth-it’s-so-cheesy way.
