Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alec Ross lived in his sister’s shadow until he was recruited to join an underground organization dedicated to keeping peace between solars and humans. Pax Solis gave him purpose in his work as a handler and a way to keep his deepest, darkest secret from ever being uncovered. If his feelings for his top agent are getting complicated, well, no one ever has to know that, either. Delta Verrett has always known her path. The child of two high-ranking Pax Solis agents, she grew up in the secret organization and now works to contain any threat by those with extraordinary powers. Alec is the best handler she’s ever had, and their track record is impeccable. If her attraction to him is getting inconvenient, well, maybe it’s time to address it head on. But “addressing” it triggers something dangerous, and the timing couldn’t be worse. Pax Solis is facing its biggest challenge in Helios, a group determined to steal solars’ power and who may have compromised Pax. And that something dangerous may mean Alec and Delta can never be together…just when they’re coming to realize they don’t want to live without each other.

Download or read book Eat Joy written by Natalie Eve Garrett and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Best Cookbook of the Year by Martha Stewart Living "Magnificent illustrations add spirit to recipes and heartfelt narratives. Plan to buy two copies—one for you and one for your best foodie friend." —Taste of Home This collection of intimate, illustrated essays by some of America’s most well–regarded literary writers explores how comfort food can help us cope with dark times—be it the loss of a parent, the loneliness of a move, or the pain of heartache. Lev Grossman explains how he survived on “sweet, sour, spicy, salty, unabashedly gluey” General Tso’s tofu after his divorce. Carmen Maria Machado describes her growing pains as she learned to feed and care for herself during her twenties. Claire Messud tries to understand how her mother gave up dreams of being a lawyer to make “a dressed salad of tiny shrimp and avocado, followed by prune–stuffed pork tenderloin.” What makes each tale so moving is not only the deeply personal revelations from celebrated writers, but also the compassion and healing behind the story: the taste of hope. "If you've ever felt a deep, emotional connection to a recipe or been comforted by food during a dark time, you'll fall in love with these stories."—Martha Stewart Living “Eat Joy is the most lovely food essay book . . . This is the perfect gift." —Joy Wilson (Joy the Baker)
