Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Thorne Manor there is one locked door. Behind it lies a portal to the twenty-first century, and nothing is going to stop Miranda Hastings from stepping through. After all, she is a Victorian writer of risqué pirate adventures—traveling to the future would be the greatest adventure of them all. When Miranda goes through, though, she lands in Georgian England…and in the path of Nicolas Dupuis, a privateer accused of piracy. Sheltered by locals, Nico is repaying their kindness by being their “pirate Robin Hood,” stealing from a corrupt lord and fencing smuggled goods on the village’s behalf. Miranda embraces Nico’s cause, only to discover there’s more to it than he realizes. Miranda has the second sight, and there are ghosts at play here. The recently deceased former lord is desperate to stop his son from destroying his beloved village. Then there’s the ghost of Nico’s cabin boy, who he thought safe in a neighboring city. Miranda and Nico must solve the mystery of the boy’s death while keeping one step ahead of the hangman. It may not be the escapade Miranda imagined, but it is about to be the adventure of a lifetime.

Book excerpt: In 1793, a storm propels Lili forward through time, kindling a love that transcends the ages. Fleeing the clutches of Robespierre's revolutionary Tribunal in France, Lili Minet makes a desperate escape on a ship headed to England, but her dangerous flight takes an unexpected turn when a violent storm catapults her off the ship and eighty years into the future, leaving her stranded in the unfamiliar world of 1873 England. When lighthouse keeper Armitage Pierce rescues a woman from the tumultuous sea, he does not anticipate her silent, cold response to his gallant efforts. Though he is wary of this woman and her odd behaviors, he finds she is just as wary of him. And he can sense that she is not telling him something of great import to her. Only Armitage's grandfather, a man seasoned by the mysteries of the sea, can seem to penetrate Lili's defenses to offer her support. But as Lili heals from the physical and emotional wounds of her ordeal and Armitage continues to offer light and safety to her, a tender friendship blossoms between the two. Yet the shadow of danger looms as the threat that chased Lili from France all those years ago reemerges in her new present. Together Lili and Armitage must navigate the challenges of a love that defies the boundaries of time and the perils that reach across the decades to ensnare Lili. As the storm clouds gather, Lili and Armitage face the ultimate test--whether their bond is strong enough to rewrite the pages of history itself to save them and their love.

Download or read book Time Tide and History written by Brigid Rooney and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time, Tide and History: Eleanor Dark’s Fiction is the first book-length edited collection of scholarly essays to treat the full span of Eleanor Dark’s fiction, advancing a recent revival of critical and scholarly interest in Dark’s writing. This volume not only establishes a new view of Dark’s fiction as a whole, but also reflects on the ways in which her fiction speaks to our present moment, in the context of a globally fraught, post-pandemic, Anthropocene era. Above all, the revisiting of Dark’s fiction is mandated by a desire to recognise the ways in which it anticipates vital debates in Australian literary and national culture today, about settler colonialism and its legacies, and with regard to the histories, condition and status of Australia’s First Nations people. This volume interweaves varied topical themes, from formal debates about modernism, historical realism and melodrama, to questions about modernity’s time and space, about gender and cultural difference, and about the specifics of built and natural environments. Time, Tide and History intentionally loosens the conventions of literary scholarship by including other kinds of work alongside critical and scholarly readings: a written dialogue between two contemporary historians about Dark’s legacy, and a biographical piece on the life and role of Eleanor Dark’s husband, Eric Payten Dark. Bringing together the interwar fiction’s feminist and modernist dimensions with the historical turn of The Timeless Land trilogy, the essays in Time, Tide and History collectively pursue ethical and political questions while teasing out the distinctive thematic, formal and aesthetic features of Dark’s fiction.

When English professor Michael Forrester appears on Lane’s doorstep in the middle of a storm, he claims he’s only seeking a quiet place to write his book.

Meanwhile, Mary Quinn has become a common sight, appearing each morning on the dunes behind the inn, to stare wistfully out to sea. Lane is surprised to find a friendship developing with the older woman, who possesses a unique brand of wisdom, despite her tenuous grip on reality. As Lane slowly unravels Mary’s story and a fragile relationship between Lane and Michael blooms, Lane realizes the three share a common bond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sound Of Love: A Gay Romance Collection is the third bundle of 3 sensual and steamy M/M romances from authors Topher James, Raiden King, and Reya Karl, who previously brought you Journey Of Love: A Gay Romance Collection, and What The Heart Wants: A Gay Romance Collection. From sexy and sweet brand new experiences, to new self-discoveries and awakenings, to lusty first times, and to love that stands the test of time, these three gay romance stories will make you laugh, smile, cry, fan yourself, and leave you satisfied. Contained in this 350+ page box set anthology are the M/M romance books Where You Least Expect, The Young Nurse, and The Reunion. * Where You Least Expect Love is confusing. It intertwines with lust, with a base attraction so animal and powerful, it can make a man do things he shouldn’t. It can make a man think things are one way… when they are the other. I thought I was in love with Terrence. He was everything I wanted in a man. But I slowly began to realize that I was just in love with the fantasy of him. Terrence in theory. And the person I was really falling in love with… the man who would stand by my side, love me, support me… Was someone I could never have imagined. Greg used to cruise for girls. Greg was the ladies man on campus, a star athlete back in the day. And here he was… his gorgeous eyes looking right through me. And he’s telling me that he’s falling for me… And that this could be the beginning of our happily ever after. * The Young Nurse My marriage to my wife ended once the kids left the house. All of a sudden, we didn't know each other. We divorced. It was amicable. It's not exactly a new story. Here I am, forty-three, and in shape. Not to get too cocky, but let's just say I'm the kind of man my age who is *very* eligible. The problem? Every woman I've dated I've had no interest in. What exactly is wrong with me? Then I got sick. I had to stay in the hospital. That's where I met Taden, my young, handsome male nurse... ...And everything in my life changed. He asked if I needed help getting into the shower, and he helped me undress. His touch lingered on my skin like electricity. But I'm not gay. I'm attracted to women! So why do I find myself thinking about Taden every waking minute? Why do I fantasize about him in my dreams? And why do I desperately want to tell him... ...so he can touch me again? * The Reunion It all started with a chance encounter. I bumped into Gary in St. Ives, the sea-salty air whipping past us. His deep brown eyes stopped time itself, and the coppery hair that lined his chest sparkled in the sun. Little did I know that we were schoolmates way back when. An impromptu reunion, you could say. But I had no idea what lay in store for me. Gary invited me onto his yacht. Gary flirted with me. And before I knew it, every inhibition I had was crumbling. This was supposed to be a relaxing holiday. Who could have expected it would turn into a torrid affair with a gorgeous man? Who could have expected that happily ever after might just be on the itinerary? *

Download or read book The Cultural Uses of the Caesars on the English Renaissance Stage written by Lisa Hopkins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caesarian power was a crucial context in the Renaissance, as rulers in Europe, Russia and Turkey all sought to appropriate Caesarian imagery and authority, but it has been surprisingly little explored in scholarship. In this study Lisa Hopkins explores the way in which the stories of the Caesars, and of the Julio-Claudians in particular, can be used to figure the stories of English rulers on the Renaissance stage. Analyzing plays by Shakespeare and a number of other playwrights of the period, she demonstrates how early modern English dramatists, using Roman modes of literary representation as cover, commented on the issues of the day and critiqued contemporary monarchs.
