Dana Dillinger had been R.J.'s right hand for years—loyal, dependable…and hopelessly, secretly in love with him. When he suggested that marriage was the best way to salvage the situation and prove he wasn't the playboy the press had labeled him, Dana accepted his "proposal." With one exception… R.J. wanted a marriage in name only—no sex, just marriage. Dana wanted all the marital rights of a bride—including and especially sex—or the deal was off. Between a rock and a hard place, R.J. agreed, not knowing what he'd just gotten himself into!

Until I woke up one day and he was gone, leaving me with three parting words written on a piece of paper that have haunted me for the past five years. But even after all this time, the pain in my chest is still as prominent as ever, and there isn't a day that goes by without him invading my mind. He's my walking nightmare. When my eyes meet his hard stare again in the last place I expect to see him, he makes me question everything I thought I knew about why he left. He seeks absolution in his confessions, and although they break me further, I can't help but see the truth that's laced in everything he does and says. I'm his. Always. Which is why he's the only one I trust when everything I thought I knew about my life is a lie. Leo Abrianna Fleming was the light in my dark world. An angel I never deserved. I wanted to give her forever, but she was never mine to keep. When it was time for me to step up and claim the throne I was born to rule, I did the only thing I knew would keep her safe and alive. Dragging her into my world would make her the number one target of my enemies, but after five years of depriving myself of her, one look into her eyes has me forgetting any plan I thought I had. Because I'll be damned if I give her up a second time. Being together has the potential to destroy the both of us and the family names we bear, but Abrianna is mine, and I'll eliminate anyone who tries to hurt or take her away from me.

Download or read book Boss Tweed written by Denis Tilden Lynch and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1927 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No political scandal in American history has had a greater impact on America's political consciousness than the rise and fall of the "Tweed Ring" in New York City between 1866 and 1871. In an age ripe with scandal both public and private, the spectacular corruption charged to "Boss" Tweed and his associates-estimates of their extortion range from $20 million to $200 million-became an enduring symbol of the dark side of democratic politics. The Tweed Ring contributed much more than cartoonist impressions; it helped to shape a powerful theory of political reform. It was in truth one of the formative events of progressivism, that multifaceted doctrine that has evolved into the modern American creed. In this sense, the Tweed Ring was to produce not only deep misgivings about the existing regime, but an insight into how it should be reformed. Denis Tilden Lynch's biography of "Boss" Tweed was first published in 1927, in a time filled, like Tweed's, with sudden prosperity, daunting problems, and spectacular scandals. It is a straight-forward, workmanlike study, untroubled by the conceits of modern historical scholarship, and close enough to its subject's generation to have some of the immediacy of journalism. Of all the books published about the Tweed affair, Lynch's study is the only one that is a genuine biography, in which the man himself is the focus. For this reason it conveys something of the texture of daily life in New York in the nineteenth century, while bringing Tweed out from behind the shadows of Thomas Nast's leering cartoons, and presenting him, as much as is possible, as a man and not an icon. An interesting example of Americana, this volume will be of interest to historians of the period as well as those interested in American urban and political life.
