Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time, Maggie Mackintosh Budge yearned for handsome rogues and breathtaking adventure. Now widowed after a disastrous marriage and desperate to escape her still-matchmaking father, she stows away on the nearest vessel because sometimes the only solution is running away to sea. Bastian MacLeod never chose a life of piracy, but after coming of age under the brutal regime of Auldfarrand’s Revenge, his world has been limited to placating the volatile captain and staying one step ahead of the navy, that is until he discovers Maggie in the cargo hold. The first rule of piracy is: wenches are unlucky and will be cast overboard. With Bastian’s help, Maggie disguises herself and joins the crew, but sparks between them ignite like St. Elmo’s Fire. Can they keep her secret—and keep their hands off each other—long enough to outwit the navy and hunt down the captain’s lost treasure? Or will bad luck send them both to the hangman’s noose?

The Pirate Next Door Mayfair, London, 1810: Alexandra Alastair, a respectable young English widow, wonders if she dare add the Grayson Finley, Viscount Stoke, who’s moved in next door, to her list of potential husbands. She doesn’t know that Grayson has made a bargain with the devil (otherwise known as the pirate hunter James Ardmore) to ensure the safety of his daughter. He’ll do anything to keep young Maggie safe, but when Alexandra saves his life, with one look into her eyes, Grayson starts to drown. How can he keep both his daughter and now the beautiful Mrs. Alastair from the clutches of his enemy? And how can he prevent himself falling madly and deeply in love with her? The Pirate Hunter Diana Worthing is the wife of an English naval hero and daughter of a naval hero—she’s had quite enough of heroes, thank you. So when James Ardmore, Southern gentleman pirate hunter and thorn in the side of the British navy, abducts her from a tedious house party and spirits her off to his ship, she lets him know what she thinks of heroes. James knows Diana and her father’s private island called Haven holds the secret to the pirate he’s been hunting for years. He can’t bend the beautiful Lady Worthing to his will, though James is intrigued by this woman of unquenchable fire. He’s pleased to find himself stranded on Haven the following year, Diana Worthing now a widow, and the sparks between them just as hot. The Care and Feeding of Pirates Honoria Ardmore has a secret. Four years ago, the notorious pirate Christopher Raine, arrested for stealing a ship full of gold bound for Napoleon, makes one last request of Honoria. She grants it, and Christopher is taken out to be hanged . . . Or was he? Honoria couldn’t possibly have seen him come back to life in the rather thick air of Covent Garden, could she? Christopher is long dead and gone, Honoria’s secret with him, and now she’s betrothed to a respectable English gentleman. His sentence having been commuted at the last minute, Christopher spent the last four years working for his freedom as he crisscrossed the world. He’s lost everything, his ship, his crew, his very identity. Now he’s determined to retrieve it all—ship, friends, the treasure he was forced to abandon. Most of all Christopher wants Honoria Ardmore—and he’ll stop at nothing to get her back.

Download or read book Citizen Spielberg written by Lester D. Friedman and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steven Spielberg is the director or producer of over one third of the thirty highest grossing films of all time, yet most film scholars dismiss him as little more than a modern P. T. Barnum--a technically gifted and intellectually shallow showman who substitutes spectacle for substance. To date, no book has attempted to analyze the components of his worldview, the issues which animate his most significant works, the roots of his immense acceptance, and the influence his vast spectrum of imaginative products exerts on the public consciousness. In Citizen Spielberg, Lester D. Friedman fills that void with a systematic analysis of the various genres in which the director has worked, including science fiction (E.T.), adventure (Raiders trilogy), race films (The Color Purple, Amistad), and war films (Saving Private Ryan, Schindler’s List). Friedman concludes that Spielberg’s films present a sustained artistic vision combined with a technical flair matched by few other filmmakers, and makes a compelling case for Spielberg to be considered as a major film artist.
