Building trust and a long-lost friendship could come at a cost, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take. Because if there were ever one person I couldn’t resist, it would be Rylan Rimes. Rylan He is the last person I thought I’d see standing in my bedroom—of all places—and the sight of him takes my breath away. I broke our friendship with a hard kick out the door, and I’ve regretted it ever since. Years later, he’s back with a gift that has my name printed neatly at the top. Sweet dreams become a reality, but so do the nightmares. As our worlds collide, so do we—in and out of bed. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted.

Download or read book Hitman written by Bret Hart and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his own words, Bret Hart’s honest, perceptive, startling account of his life in and out of the pro wrestling ring. The sixth-born son of the pro wrestling dynasty founded by Stu Hart and his elegant wife, Helen, Bret Hart is a Canadian icon. As a teenager, he could have been an amateur wrestling Olympic contender, but instead he turned to the family business, climbing into the ring for his dad’s western circuit, Stampede Wrestling. From his early twenties until he retired at 43, Hart kept an audio diary, recording stories of the wrestling life, the relentless travel, the practical jokes, the sex and drugs, and the real rivalries (as opposed to the staged ones). The result is an intimate, no-holds-barred account that will keep readers, not just wrestling fans, riveted. Hart achieved superstardom in pink tights, and won multiple wrestling belts in multiple territories, for both the WWF (now the WWE) and WCW. But he also paid the price in betrayals (most famously by Vince McMahon, a man he had served loyally); in tragic deaths, including the loss of his brother Owen, who died when a stunt went terribly wrong; and in his own massive stroke, most likely resulting from a concussion he received in the ring, and from which, with the spirit of a true champion, he has battled back. Widely considered by his peers as one of the business’s best technicians and workers, Hart describes pro wrestling as part dancing, part acting, and part dangerous physical pursuit. He is proud that in all his years in the ring he never seriously hurt a single wrestler, yet did his utmost to deliver to his fans an experience as credible as it was exciting. He also records the incredible toll the business takes on its workhorses: he estimates that twenty or more of the wrestlers he was regularly matched with have died young, weakened by their own coping mechanisms, namely drugs, alcohol, and steroids. That toll included his own brother-in-law, Davey Boy Smith. No one has ever written about wrestling like Bret Hart. No one has ever lived a life like Bret Hart’s. For as long as I can remember, my world was filled with liars and bullshitters, losers and pretenders, but I also saw the good side of pro wrestling. To me there is something bordering on beautiful about a brotherhood of big tough men who pretended to hurt one another for a living instead of actually doing it. Any idiot can hurt someone. —from Hitman

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He knew she was trouble from the moment they met. Esme Laurent is a con artist. An accomplished liar. A world-class thief. And probably the most beautiful and intriguing woman that Tyler Barrett has ever met. Sure, he has to arrest her at their first meeting, and she absolutely hates him, but…well, he has a job to do. And Tyler always gets the job done. Turns out, she is the new job. The people in charge want to use Esme to bring down a very dangerous criminal operation. And in order to do that, Esme has to stay in the land of the living. She needs protection, she needs a new identity, and she needs to disappear, immediately. Because Esme has more than a bit of power, she makes her own deal…her protection needs to come in the ever-so-gorgeous, ever-so-dangerous, and ever-so-law-abiding form of U.S. Marshal Tyler Barrett. They’ll disappear into Small Town, USA. And they’ll pretend to be newlyweds who just can’t keep their hands off each other. No, absolutely, this cannot be happening. But no matter how much Tyler protests, the new job is, in fact, happening. He’s being sent to Asylum, Alabama, with the delectable Esme. He’s supposed to be her husband—a role that will give him twenty-four, seven access in order to protect her. He needs that access in order to make sure that Esme doesn’t run from the authorities and that she stays alive. But what Tyler doesn’t count on is the consuming desire he feels for a woman who should be off-limits. She’ll test every limit that he has… Esme doesn’t expect her attraction to the rule-following Tyler. He’s big, he’s buttoned-down, and he’s absolutely…delicious. She also suspects that he may be carefully controlling a wild side—one that she would love to see erupt. Oh, if only. When danger comes calling, Tyler is more than ready to handle any threat. Who knew that falling for the good guy could be so tempting? And so very…heart-breaking. Because there was no way a guy like Tyler would want to stay around once they stop pretending. Everyone knows the bad girl never gets to keep the good guy, especially when she’s still working a very long con. Author’s Note: Are you in the mood for a strong hero who makes “protecting and defending” his life code? Tyler is big, fierce, and more than ready to step into the line of fire in order to protect his charge. He’s also falling fast under the spell of a woman he should not trust. Everything with Esme is just pretend…everything, except the desire they feel for each other. And the very, very real danger that stalks her. A danger that may wind up costing Tyler more than he ever expected. WHEN HE PROTECTS, Tyler gives his all, and when he loves…he will fight like hell for the woman who stole his heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1980s, the U.S. government commissioned a project to create the perfect soldier. A range of experiments was performed on a group of soldiers, including genetic reconstruction which was made possible by a serum created by Dr. Emanuel Brown. Despite the advancements made, the project was deemed a failure and the soldiers were discharged, much to the chagrin of its leader, General James S. Lassiter. The general and Dr. Brown continued their experiments, administering the trial serum to each other. After years of experimentation, Dr. Brown and General Lassiter would eventually part ways, both thinking that their efforts of perfecting the serum were fruitless. It wouldn’t be until the birth of the general’s son that the effects of the serum would be realized. The power of the serum had been passed down genetically from the original test subjects to their offspring, giving them super human abilities. The general realized that all of the offspring of those to whom the serum was administered would have superior traits as well. Realizing the potential of these children, the general gathered a group of renegade soldiers, who shared his views of hatred toward the government, and formed an organization known as STING. He hunted down and killed the soldiers of the original project and abducted their children. He took them to a hidden compound so he could raise and train them to be his superior army. Dr. Brown foresaw the evil of the general’s ambitions. With the help of a small band of Ascended children he called the Omega Nexus, he organized an escape that would lead to the destruction of the STING compound and STING. Now, STING has reassembled for the sole purpose of recollecting the Ascended who are now extremely powerful adults scattered throughout the United States. Unbeknownst to STING, the Omega Nexus is waiting...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the near future, the demonic Legion of the Basilisk, vanguard of terrorism, has struck at the heart of the birthplace of Abraham near Ur in Iraq during the New World Order's One Covenant ecumenical global media event on the morning of November 1. Among the million eliminated in the blast, are major political and chief ecclesiastical dignitaries from around the world, including reports of Pope Clement XV's annihilation in Iraq. This universal disaster has thrown the global community into a vacuous void, their hopes dashed. This beginning of the ultimate apocalypse finds an eclectic, ethnic group of ordinary people in strategic vocations catapulted into the smoldering ashes of the Basilisk's black fire. Taken on this phenomenal physical and psychological journey into hell, skeptical Metroplex Mirror reporter Patrick Gallagher must team up with the enigmatic Greek Nicolas Andriopoulos and the mysterious Fasif Khadid to sacrifice Pat's own goals for a greater need where he and Niki will need the help of the abstruse Dr. Makuta Ogidi, as well as counting on the few resisters within the Vatican in cooperation with a small cadre of loyal Swiss Guards and Cardinal Gregory Zachmunn, including the head of Vatican Universal Communications, Monsignor Stephen Navarro along with the spunky Irish nun Sister Bridie, all vitally aided by the latest technology of the enterprising Australian media mogul Colin Rembert. Both Pat's inscrutable editor Vic Van Wess, and the love of Gallagher's life, Corrine Morelli must enter the devil's den to confront the nefarious beast. All must band together in a desperate effort to save mankind and stop the devil himself from being victorious. With death slithering at their heels, they must engage in a deadly chess game to combat the clandestine Legion led by Pat's publisher American mastermind madman mogul Edwin Blix, devious Elena Grabe, plotting apostate Cardinals Antonio Macelli and Josef Vendem, Sicilian hit men Guillaume Brunatti and Luciano Serrano, gruff Turk Usif Erbet, wily vixen Maria Figuerido, American reporter Jordan Collier, and Blix's lackeys Ans and Soto Ichariak, along with the surreptitious summit of six. The Basilisk's tentacles reach out in political, ecclesial, and foreign intrigue surrounding the expedited election to be signaled by white smoke, notifying the world that the next pontiff has been chosen. The fear is he could very well be a member of the Legion. As the hours, minutes, and the number of resisters dwindle, murder and intrigue lurk everywhere as the Basilisk reveals its hideous form claiming several martyrs of the resistance. After a dying pope delivers a stunning landmark decree to rescue the very soul of the Church in the Sistine Chapel following the Legion's attempted destruction of the Holy See, renewed hope is seemingly crushed again when the few remaining resisters are captured by the Legion and taken back to where it all started. Though the Legion can destroy buildings and priceless treasure, they cannot destroy the most priceless treasure - man's resolve to triumph over evil. With global hope waning, the few resisters left must make their last stand on the charred ruins of the Field of Death where hell is about to engulf the world as the remaining members of the Legion plot for who will serve as the host to reincarnate Lucifer in the flesh. Only one weapon, one of great mystery, can stay the evil that has gripped the globe. Will it be enough? "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." --Matthew 19:26

Book excerpt: From the author of the international bestseller The 100-Year-Old-Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared, a brilliant satirical novel set in modern Sweden—a story of idealism and fanaticism, gangsters and entrepreneurs, sensationalism and spirituality, that explores the values that matter in contemporary life. In a former brothel turned low-rent hotel, the lives of three unusual strangers—a former female priest, recently fired from her church; the ruined grandson of an ex-millionaire working as a receptionist; and Killer-Anders, a murderer newly released from prison—accidently collide with darkly hilarious results. Seeing a lucrative opportunity in Killer-Anders, the unlikely trio form an unusual new business. The Priest and The Receptionist will handle strategy and public relations, and coordinate Killer-Anders’ “missions.” Using the media’s obsessive need for sensational, headline-making stories to advertise their talent’s superb “skill,” they quickly build a clientele of rich Swedish gangsters. Suddenly, they’re making an altogether different kind of killing of their own. But when Killer-Anders begins asking deeper questions about purpose and meaning, his curiosity leads him to an unexpected discovery: he finds Jesus. Desperate to save the money machine they’ve built, The Priest and The Receptionist devise an audacious plan utilizing Killer-Anders’ newfound and decidedly fervent faith. Mischievous yet big-hearted, filled with Jonas Jonasson’s trenchant humor and delightful twists, Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All is a delightful comic adventure that reminds us it’s never to late to start over—and to discover what truly matters.
