Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She's a romantic at heart, living in the most unromantic of worlds . . . Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. She's the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessa . . . or was. Now, all she can see in the mirror's reflection is blood staining her hands like crimson paint. They say first impressions are everything . . . In the murky waters of New York's underworld, Elena's sister is arranged to marry Nicolas Russo. A Made Man, a boss, a cheat-even measured against mafia standards. His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his black suits and ties. After his and Elena's first encounter ends with an accidental glare on her part, she realizes he's just as rude as he is handsome. She doesn't like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesn't stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when he's near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of his voice. And he's always near. Telling her what to do. Making her feel hotter than any future brother-in-law should. Elena may be the Sweet Abelli on the outside, but she's beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands, cigarettes, and whiskey-colored eyes. Having already escaped one scandal, however, she can hardly afford to be swept up in another. Besides, even if he were hers, everyone knows you don't fall in love with a Made Man . . . right? This is a standalone forbidden romance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although D. H. Lawrence is justly celebrated as the author of such seminal novels as The Rainbow, Sons and Lovers, Women in Love, The Plumed Serpent, and Lady Chatterley's Lover, he also produced a considerable body of poetry, collected together in a thousand-page volume in 1928.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of D. H. Lawrences view of nature, his ecological consciousness contributes to his unique place within modern aesthetics. An affinity has been examined between Lawrences ideology of man-nature relationship and the classic oriental philosophies concerning nature, particularly the ancient Taoism.

His almighty Holy Ghost, for example, who is responsible for the sacred underlying unity, is named Brahman by Hindus, Dharmakaya by Buddhists, and Tao by Taoists. His duality, with its stress on the dynamic balance between complementary life-principles, is fully worked out in the Yin-Yang philosophy of Taoism.
