Book excerpt: The steamy second book in Janet Chapman’s dazzling Midnight Bay series seduces readers with an enticing tale of a fiery independent woman and an irresistible immortal warrior with a dragon’s courageous heart. Maddy Kimble has no time for a suitor—not with caring for her spunky nursing home patients, her shy nine-year-old daughter, her widowed mother, and her rebellious teenage brother. William Kilkenny’s stunning lack of modern dating protocol doesn’t help. The man is uncouth and outrageous—a towering, drop-dead, breathtakingly hot warrior. Who refuses to give up. William is secretly a ninth-century Irish nobleman formerly trapped in a dragon’s body. All Maddy knows is that lately, she can hardly resist the urge to lose herself in his powerful arms. But as their uncontrollable passion grows, eerie occurrences in her small coastal Maine town begin to rouse Maddy’s suspicions about her lover. He begs her to trust him, but how can she surrender—body and soul—when she fears the danger he poses to her yearning heart?

When she arrives in Helsmont, the king promises her a year of courtship before marrying—or parting ways. Before long, Kimri thinks she may find comfort, and perhaps eventually love, with the stoic king. But the realms are more unsettled than Kimri realizes, and she soon finds herself caught in the middle of a war between the kingdoms. Can she count on her betrothed to take her side? Or will his loyalty to his kingdom come before his loyalty to her? 50,000 words

Download or read book The Golden Age written by Clifford Dowdey and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years 1732-1775 saw the culmination of Virginia's 'golden age.' It was a time when the Virginian aristocracy, now in the fullness of its power, gave birth to a generation of democrats and revolutionaries -- who in turn played a major part in establishing the first principles of the American republic. Vast changes were taking place in the colonies, and nowhere was this more evident than in the explosive atmosphere of Virginian politics. Greater and greater rifts were appearing between the thinkings of Crown and colony, and everywhere new, urgent voices were being heard, demanding equal rights and denouncing the unjust taxes imposed upon them by Parliamentary politics. The author focuses on Williamsburg in the mid-1700s and the extraordinary society that was able to generate such remarkable leaders as Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington, as well as sustain the great dynasties themselves -- the Byrds, Randolphs, Carters, and Lees -- in the years of spiraling tensions between Britain and France, between colonists and Indians, between the colonies and the Crown, and even among the colonists themselves.

Download or read book Heir To The Dragon King written by Linda Ann Monica Schneider and published by Author House. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is undisputed that dragons are extinct, except for strange animals like Komodo dragons and other creatures with odd features. Supposedly, they never existed. Suppose, just suppose, that they did exist, once upon a time. This is the story of what might have been the last interaction between people and dragons. It is also the story of loving couples, kings, queens, and disputes between brothers over a throne and a beautiful duke's daughter. It speaks of the enduring power of love and forgiveness and their power to heal. I wanted to provide an alternative to some of the stereotypes of dragons, and of people, too. If you want to let your imagination explore these possibilities, please read more!
