Download or read book Fighting Love written by Elena Russiello and published by Babelcube Inc.. This book was released on 2020-09-02 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What you are willing to do to protect your loved ones? Kailey Ross is twenty-one years old. She abandons her old life and decides to enroll in college to take revenge for her brother Tayler, unsuspecting that new friendships will soon become important, and that a kiss, given without feelings or sex without commitments, can become a double-edged sword. With love, in fact, we get hurt and lose focus on the initial goals. Nick Scott is a troubled boy, allergic to feelings, with a past more difficult than the present, and responsibilities that burden too much for his young age. Attraction often annihilates the mind, one kiss always follows another, as well as lies, but love is an unusual feeling, sometimes it changes us, often it makes us better. It teaches us to fight, simply to be happy.

Book excerpt: George Donner felt that he had arranged the perfect life for himself. Marrying his childhood sweetheart, fathering a bright and attractive son, and taking care of his little family in the suburbs were, he believed, the right things to do. But when he finally discovers that "the right thing isn't always the best thing," his wife is dead, his son, Martin, is middle-aged, and George himself, at seventy-two, is recuperating from his second stroke in Mountain View, a Colorado nursing home. He assumes that his life is over until his new friend Hannah, a sex-hungry widow with a memory problem and an eye for George, unwittingly introduces him to her competition--Jake Blair, a seventy-five-year-old openly gay writer on layover at Mountain View with a broken hip. Jake and George begin an affair, but when Jake finally heals and goes home, George is left behind, facing heartbreak, commitment to Mountain View by his disapproving son, and a troublesome memory of his father that haunts him as he struggles with his own sexuality. Will George ever be reunited with Jake? Our Day Will Come explores family relationships, ageism, and independence as George struggles to choose between living acceptably and living authentically.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no research-based text that provides a model for teaching and learning in a virtual environment with literacy learners.

Today, virtual environments are a common alternative space for students in K–12 to engage in meaningful online literacy learning with their tutors (Boxie, 2004; Hurst, 2007; Williams & Casale, 2015; Witte, 2007).

Download or read book Wicked Lure written by Cora Masters and published by The Phantom Pen. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the minds of three USA Today bestselling authors comes a dark college bully romance not for the faint of heart. Abel Hartford reigns at Malum Kings College. They awarded me a full scholarship to the most prestigious collegiate academy on the East Coast. The thing is, I never applied. Despite that, I’ve never been one to let an opportunity pass, so I accept the anonymous generosity. Abel is not happy about my decision. We were close once, when our parents were married, but he’s completely changed, and not for the better. Now I have to see him every single day, whether I want to or not. He won’t let a moment pass without reminding me that I do not belong in his world. Pranks and gossip distract me from all I’ve ever wanted: an education to rise above. If it wasn’t for Blake and Kailey, I'd tuck my tail and leave Malum. Abel would win. I’m glad I'm staying. As the year goes by, Abel’s cruelty hardens me. It teaches me lessons I should’ve learned years ago. Lessons I won’t need to learn twice. If Abel thinks he can banish me from his so-called court, he’d better think again. I have just as much right to be here as he does. Perhaps it's time for a queen to overthrow the king. Due to intense subject matter, Malum Kings College isn't intended for readers under 17.

Book excerpt: A gripping novel about the kind of love that never lets go, and the heart’s capacity to remember, from the New York Times bestselling author of Blackberry Winter and The Violets of March Enjoying a romantic candlelit dinner with her fiancé, Ryan, at one of Seattle’s chicest restaurants, Kailey Crain can’t believe her good fortune: She has a great job as a journalist and is now engaged to a guy who is perfect in nearly every way. As she and Ryan leave the restaurant, Kailey spies a thin, bearded homeless man on the sidewalk. She approaches him to offer up her bag of leftovers, and is stunned when their eyes meet, then stricken to her very core: The man is the love of her life, Cade McAllister. When Kailey met Cade ten years ago, their attraction was immediate and intense—everything connected and felt right. But it all ended suddenly, leaving Kailey devastated. Now the poor soul on the street is a faded version of her former beloved: His weathered and weary face is as handsome as Kailey remembers, but his mind has suffered in the intervening years. Over the next few weeks, Kailey helps Cade begin to piece his life together, something she initially keeps from Ryan. As she revisits her long-ago relationship, Kailey realizes that she must decide exactly what—and whom—she wants.

Download or read book The Alchemy of Forever written by Avery Williams and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-01-03 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first novel of the Incarnation series, the immortal Serephina grapples with a wrenching truth: Falling in love might mean succumbing to death. People say “love never dies”…but love might be the death of Seraphina. Seraphina has been alive since the Middle Ages, when her boyfriend, Cyrus, managed to perfect a method of alchemy that lets them swap bodies with any human being. Sera ran away from Cyrus years ago, when she realized that what they were doing—taking the lives of innocent people—was wrong. Yet she doesn’t want to die, so she finds young people who are on the brink of death, and inhabits their bodies. Sera has just landed in the body of a girl named Kailey who was about to die in a car accident. For the first time, Sera falls in love with the life of the person she’s inhabiting. Sera also falls for the boy next door, Noah. And soon it’s clear the feelings are returned. But she can never kiss Noah, because for her to touch lips with a human would mean the human’s death. And she has even more to worry about: Cyrus is chasing her. If she stays in one place for long, she puts herself—and the people she’s grown to care for—in great danger. Will Sera have to give up the one thing that’s eluded her for centuries: true love? This paperback includes a teaser of The Impossibility of Tomorrow, the next book in the Incarnation series, as well as exclusive content that reveals Seraphina’s back story.
