Book Devastation Trilogy Box Set

Download or read book Devastation Trilogy Box Set written by Lesli Richardson and published by Lesli Richardson. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 1002 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Devastation Trilogy Box Set: Dirge, Solace, Release -- Dirge (Book 1) He doesn’t know how to let go… I was a husband, a father, a politician. Now, I’m just lost. Maybe they can help find me, I don’t know. Maybe I shouldn’t be found. Maybe the devastation that is my life should be allowed to crumble and decay. There is no comfort in a funeral dirge, no solace in empty words spoken to me. There is no release from this hell but death, and I can’t do that yet. I don’t know how to let go. But…maybe they can help me hold on. --- Solace (Book 2) He doesn’t know how to give in… I’m in way over my head. I’m waiting for someone to point a finger at me and call me an imposter. I don’t belong here. Yet I can’t think of anywhere I’d rather be. I don’t know what the hell this is between us, but even while I hate it, I crave it, like a damn drug. I need it. I need them. And I’ll do whatever it takes to stay here, even if it means giving up who I am. --- Release (Book 3) She doesn’t know how to give up… Off-limits. Boss. Married. But now… The excuses are gone, and the gloves are off. Except there’s a jungle of pain to carve through first, and I don’t know if I’m strong enough. All I know is I’m willing to try, if they are. I suspect if we can make it through to the other side that we’ll be unstoppable. It’s the journey that’s a bitch, though. So buckle up, buttercup. It’s going to be a wild ride. The Devastation Trilogy is a no-holds-barred political romance set in the world of the Governor Trilogy series and can be read independently from that series. It contains a MMF pairing, including crossed swords, and features power exchange dynamics, older main characters, an age-gap romance, gay-for-you that surprises both of them, some FemDom action but mostly MaleDom, a secret workplace romance that could shatter all three of their political careers and end a governorship, old secrets, new secrets, survival after unspeakable tragedy, panty-dropping desktop shenanigans, two Dominants using their shared subby as a (willing) chew toy, second chances at happiness, and a satisfying HEA. George Forrester's character was first introduced in Lieutenant (Governor Trilogy 2) but you do not have to read that book to enjoy this trilogy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first three books available in one box set. (There is no new content as opposed to buying them separately.) [Political romance, MMF.] Governor, Lieutenant, Chief He kneels for only one man… She never comes in second… Behind every good man is a real bastard… --- Governor (Book 1) I kneel for only one man—Carter Wilson, my best friend, chief of staff, and bastard extraordinaire. It’s a price I willingly pay to be owned by Her. His wife. Who is also, as of when we were sworn in this morning, my lieutenant governor. I am Owen Taylor, governor of the great state of Florida. --- Lieutenant (Book 2) I never come in second—that’s just how my daddy raised me. Except now, I find myself willingly choosing exactly that—being second. Publicly, I might seem to serve at the governor’s pleasure, but that’s nothing close to the truth. He serves me at mine. Especially the pleasure part. We both serve my husband, Carter. Or, as Owen dubbed him long ago, the bastard extraordinaire. I never knew what I was really getting into when I met Owen and Carter. Maybe it’s better I didn’t. Maybe I would’ve run away if I had. Boy, how I love him. Both of them. Somehow, they make being second okay. And in eight years? It’ll be my turn. I am Susa Evans, lieutenant governor of the great state of Florida. --- Chief (Book 3) Behind every good man is a good woman. That’s what they say. They’re wrong. Even my wife would agree. The truth is, behind every good man is a real bastard—that would be me. I knew from the day I met Owen that the only way I’d ever get him was to make sure I took whatever it was he loved and wanted most and hold it so close to me that he couldn’t help but come with it. He did. And now…now there are people who want to tear the three of us apart. I’ll die before I let that happen. I am Carter Wilson, chief of staff to the governor of the great state of Florida. And, according to him and my wife, a bastard extraordinaire.

Download or read book Determination Trilogy Box Set Dignity Diligence Desire written by Lesli Richardson and published by Lesli Richardson. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 711 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Determination Trilogy Box Set: Dignity, Diligence, Desire Dignity (Book 1) He wants it back… My name is Kevin Markos, former star anchor for Full News Broadcasting. I say former, because an exhaustion- and frustration-fueled emotional on-air meltdown of apocalyptic proportions means my previously dignified reputation and stellar career as a highly respected conservative TV news host and commentator lay in smoking, irreparable ruins. Only one person will hire me now, and it’s the last person I want to work for—Democratic Senator ShaeLynn Samuels, who’s determined to be the next president of the United States. My reluctance isn’t because of her, but because of who’s working for her—Special Agent Christopher Bruunt, the head of her Secret Service detail. A college spring break trip I thought was safely hidden in my past, even if it never strayed far from my thoughts, now comes back to haunt me. If I take this job and succeed, it could resurrect my career and put me at the right hand of the most powerful person in the United States. But how much am I personally willing to sacrifice to claw my way back to the top? Because Christopher never forgot that spring break, either. And he has a few agendas of his own. * * * * Diligence (Book 2) She wants it all… My name is ShaeLynn Samuels, and all my life I’ve settled for second place to my own mother, who is a political legend in our home state of Florida. So far, I’ve proven myself through several crucibles, and now I’m a US Senator. Many people would be happy with that accomplishment, but not me. Because I want more—I want it all. I’m determined to be POTUS. And if washed-up TV news host Kevin Markos is my best chance to get elected, then by god, I’ll make him come work for me however I have to. Even if Markos doesn’t want to, and even if it means I turn the head of my Secret Service detail loose on him. Because Special Agent Christopher Bruunt has a secret assignment beyond protecting me—he’s warming my bed. And he has a few plans of his own for Kevin Markos. You see, Christopher and Kevin have a secret history…and Christopher has pictures. * * * * Desire (Book 3) He wants them. When I first met Kevin Markos, we were both drunk college students at Spring Break. It was a week I never expected, and a week I’d never forget. Especially since I took pictures. Unfortunately, life got in the way, careers got in the way…as did Kevin’s miles-deep closet. I thought the only way I’d ever see Kevin again was on a TV screen. But now? He’s desperate, broken, and broke. ShaeLynn Samuels is a unique woman with future plans I want to be a part of. And Kevin never left my heart or my thoughts. Now I have a chance to make both ShaeLynn’s biggest dream come true—and mine. Kevin’s coming along for the ride whether he wants to or not.

Book The Fourth Element Trilogy  Boxed Set

Download or read book The Fourth Element Trilogy Boxed Set written by Kat Ross and published by Kat Ross. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 980 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gladiator meets Romeo and Juliet in this "spellbinding fantasy" trilogy (Kirkus Reviews) set in ancient Persia! They are the light against the darkness. The steel against the necromancy of the Druj. And they use demons to hunt demons…. Nazafareen lives for revenge. A girl of the isolated Four-Legs Clan, all she knows about the King's elite Water Dogs is that they leash wicked creatures called daevas to protect the empire from the Undead. But when scouts arrive to recruit young people with the gift, she leaps at the chance to join their ranks. To hunt the monsters that killed her sister. Scarred by grief, she's willing to pay any price, even if it requires linking with a daeva named Darius. Human in body, he's possessed of a terrifying power, one that Nazafareen controls. But the golden cuffs that join them have an unwanted side effect. Each experiences the other's emotions, and human and daeva start to grow dangerously close. As they pursue a deadly foe across the arid waste of the Great Salt Plain to the glittering capital of Persepolae, unearthing the secrets of Darius's past along the way, Nazafareen is forced to question his slavery—and her own loyalty to the empire. But with an ancient evil stirring in the north, and a young conqueror sweeping in from the west, the fate of an entire civilization may be at stake… So begins an epic story of adventure, romance and betrayal that leads to undiscovered magical realms and a final confrontation with a demon queen bent on destroying them all. Praise for the Fourth Element Trilogy "A spellbinding fantasy with some moral weight and a meatier narrative than usual, one likely to leave readers quite satisfied... This tale’s grand scope is set off beautifully by its intimate start. The story grows wonderfully from such a small seed, and it is the moral and subjective implications of the vastness and impersonality of the Empire that work so well to drive the narrative. The plot builds effectively, and maintains a swift pace. Nazafareen’s initial simplistic motivation, hatred, becomes complicated by her link to Darius, and evolves into something much more intriguing and complex. This transition is helped by the clarity with which the characters are drawn. The immensity of the Empire occasionally threatens to smother the personal tale at the heart of the story, but, like shadows around a candle flame, it never quite manages that feat." -Kirkus Reviews "Fantasy lovers who enter this world will be wooed by its expansive world-building, soul-crushing romance, deeply layered characters, and page-turning twists." --Flylef Reviews "One of the best trilogies I've ever read. I will read anything by Kat Ross. Hats off to her for creating these wonderful characters and making us fall in love with them!" --Cover to Cover Reviews "Kat Ross turned me into a puddle of emotions with her final book of the Fourth Element series! Action, betrayal, romance and demons conclude this story which can keep anyone captivated till the final page." --Milky Way of Books "An addictive, action-packed, glorious page-turner!" -Am Kinda Busy Reading "I really hate the word ‘epic’ because, let’s face it, it’s so overused and it’s lost its true meaning, but this book [The Midnight Sea] deserves that word." -Book Reader Chronicles "This is truly a grand finale of a book, mysteries from the very beginning of the series are put to rest and our heroes win in unexpected ways. Queen of Chaos delivers a beautiful ending that is perfect as it is but is left open enough for another story to seamlessly fit in." --Bibliobibuli "I'm never a read-a-book-in-one-sitting kind of person, but I totally did it with Queen of Chaos. Then I hugged my Kindle and wanted to start the series all over again." --Rattle the Stars "Extremely engrossing and so fast-paced...A truly exceptional series." --The InkedIn Book Blog

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time of madness, is love worth the risk? As a maid in the Kremlin Palace, Inga is mostly invisible. Courtiers are likely to use and discard her if she lets them. A lesson she learns when her best friend is brutally attacked. Inga steers clear of romance, intrigue, and men in general afterwards. It makes for a lonely life but invisibility is the key to safety. As a boy in the Kremlin, Taras lost his mother to mysterious circumstances. He returns as a man to discover what really happened. Closed-mouthed courtiers make his task difficult. Dangers mount as Tsar Ivan IV, called Terrible, slides toward insanity. The opulence of Ivan’s court hides deadly secrets, and Taras must turn to the muddy streets of Moscow to learn the truth. When a brutal courtier sets his eyes on Inga, she turns to Taras for help. He pretends to take her as his mistress to save her from Sergei’s dangerous bed. It’s a compromising situation, but before long, true sparks ignite between them. Inga must decide if happiness with Taras is worth forfeiting her invisibility and breaking down the walls built up so carefully around her heart. If Inga and Taras don’t successfully traverse the dangers of the imperial court of Russia, they may be swept up in the blood bath of Ivan Grozny. Two more forgotten victims in a time of love and madness… A sweeping historical epic full of wars, intrigues, death, and love. "Definitely ranks among the best of epic sagas!” –S. Wright
