Each book features a fake relationship trope, secrets, lies, and of course, a happily-ever-after. Books include: The Polar Bear's Fake Mate The Lion's Fake Wife The Tiger's Fake Date 1 - The Polar Bear's Fake Mate One bear. One human. One big, fat lie. Justin You'd think that with a backstory like mine, the idea of taking a mate is unbelievable. You'd be right. The only reason I'm agreeing to this entire "mates" thing is so that my mother gets off my back, my shareholders are happy, and I continue moving forward in my career. I'm the face of a multi-billion dollar company. I don't need any scandals in my midst. Rebecca The offer is for one year. One year of pretending to be this guy's mate, and then we can have a quiet divorce. He just needs his shareholders off of his back, and me? Well, I'd like to not starve to death. Only, there's more than meets the eye when it comes to Justin. He might have money and brains and incredibly good looks, but there's a secret that lurks behind those beautiful eyes. And I intend to find out what it is. 2 - The Lion's Fake Wife One lion. One human. One important lie. Melinda I don't have much going for me until I see an ad in the local newspaper. Wanted: one bride. It seems like a total scam except for the fact that it'll get me out of Kansas. After dealing with my past, I'm more than happy to claim this Get Out of Kansas Free card. After spending a year in prison, staying married to a CEO for half of a year doesn't seem too bad, now does it? Yeah, some weird things seem to happen in Rawr County and the people there aren't exactly welcoming to outsiders, but it can't be all bad...can it? Basil I'll do whatever it takes to improve my image at the company. Apparently, my shareholders don't look too fondly on the fact that I've been something of a playboy in recent years. All that's about to change, though, because I'm getting married. The moment I see Melinda, I know that she's the one. My inner-lion knows, too. She's not just the woman I'm going to marry for the sake of improving my personal image. She's the one I'm going to marry because she's my fated mate. Only, Melinda doesn't know I'm a shifter, and she's got a few secrets of her own. When an enemy from her past resurfaces in Rawr County, we're going to have some hard decisions to make. We're going to have to fight for what we believe in, and we're going to have to fight for her safety. Luckily for Melinda, I love a good challenge. 3 - The Tiger's Fake Date One date. One wedding. One enormous lie. Ivy If Susan wasn't so uptight, none of this would be a problem. It wouldn't. Not really. As it is, she's the biggest Bridezilla I've ever seen, which is why I'm stuck interviewing actors to play my boyfriend at her upcoming nuptials. The guy I choose is tall, hot as hell, and...nerdy. Like, ultra-nerdy. He plays video games and reads comics, and he's seen more anime than me, which is no easy task. Lincoln has a secret, though. It's something beyond the normal nerdiness. It's something that he doesn't want anyone to know about. I want to know about it, though. What is this guy hiding? And why do I have a feeling that it'll change everything? Lincoln When I started running my fake date service, I didn't expect to meet someone like Ivy. I didn't expect to want more than just a single date. I couldn't have possibly planned any of this. That's exactly what's happening, though. Just one date, and my inner-tiger lets me know that yeah, she's our mate. Unfortunately for me, she doesn't know I'm a tiger shifter, and she doesn't know I think she's my one true love. Is Ivy strong enough to handle the truth? Am I?

Download or read book Safavid Persia in the Age of Empires written by Charles Melville and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries saw the establishment of the new Safavid regime in Iran. Along with reuniting the Persian lands under one rule, the Safavids initiated the radical transformation of the religious landscape by introducing Imami Shi'ism as the official state faith and in this as in other ways, laying the foundations of Iran's modern identity. In this book, leading scholars of Iranian history, culture and politics examine the meaning of the idea of Iran in the Safavid period by examining contemporary experiences of both insiders and outsiders, asking how modern scholarship defines the distinctive features of the age. While sometimes viewed as a period of decline from the high points of classical Persian literature and the visual arts of preceding centuries, the chapters of this book demonstrate that the Safavid era was nevertheless a period of great literary and artistic activity in the realms of both secular and theological endeavour. With the establishment of comparable polities across western, southern and central Asia at broadly the same time, the book explores some of the literary and political interactions with Iran's Ottoman, Mughal and Uzbek neighbours. As the volume and frequency of European merchants and diplomats visiting Safavid Persia increased, especially in the seventeenth century, and as more Iranians recorded their own travel experiences to surrounding Muslim lands, the Safavid period is the first in which we can document and explore the contours of Iran's place in an expanding world, and gain insights into how Iranians saw themselves and others saw them.
Download or read book Narratives and Rituals of the Nightmare Hag in Scandinavian Folk Belief written by Catharina Raudvere and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This books explores varying conceptions of the Nightmare hag, mara, in Scandinavian folk belief. What began as observations of some startling narratives preserved in folklore archives where sex, violence and curses are recurring themes gradually led to questions as to how rural people envisaged good and evil, illness and health, and cause and effect. At closer reading, narratives about the mara character involve existential themes, as well as comments on gender and social hierarchy. This monograph analyses how this female creature was conceived of in oral literature and everyday ritual practice in pre-industrial Scandinavia, and what role she played in a larger pattern of belief in witchcraft and magic.

Download or read book Virgin Envy written by Jonathan A. Allan and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginity is of concern here, that is its utter messiness. At once valuable and detrimental, normative and deviant, undesirable and enviable. Virginity and its loss hold tremendous cultural significance. For many, female virginity is still a universally accepted condition, something that is somehow bound to the hymen, whereas male virginity is almost as elusive as the G-spot: we know it's there, it’s just we have a harder time finding it. Of course boys are virgins, queers are virgins, some people reclaim their virginities, and others reject virginity from the get go. So what if we agree to forget the hymen all together? Might we start to see the instability of terms like untouched, pure, or innocent? Might we question the act of sex, the very notion of relational sexuality? After all, for many people it is the sexual acts they don’t do, or don’t want to do, that carry the most abundant emotional clout. Virgin Envy is a collection of essays that look past the vestal virgins and beyond Joan of Arc. From medieval to present-day literature, the output of HBO, Bollywood, and the films of Abdellah Taïa or Derek Jarman to the virginity testing of politically active women in Tahrir Square, the writers here explore the concept of virginity in today’s world to show that ultimately virginity is a site around which our most basic beliefs about sexuality are confronted, and from which we can come to understand some of our most basic anxieties, paranoias, fears, and desires.
