Book excerpt: "Which one of you bitches is my mother?" Four elegant, successful, and sophisticated women in their forties are called to New York's Pierre Hotel to meet Lili -- a beautiful, young, and notoriously temperamental Hollywood movie star. None of the women knows exactly why she is there; each has a reason to hate Lili and each of them is astonished to see the others. They are old friends who share a guilty secret and who have for years been doing their best to keep that secret quiet. Their lives are changed forever, however, when Lili suddenly confronts them. When the women refuse to answer her, Lili proceeds to travel around the world through the playgrounds of the rich and famous, seeking to answer the question that has obsessed and almost destroyed her. From Paris to London, from the boardroom to the bedroom, Lace takes the reader into the rarified world of five unforgettable women who are as beautiful, as complex and as strong as...lace.

The payment can't be settled with money or favors. He only wants one thing. Me. Every action gets a reward. A button. Once I fill his jar with three hundred and sixty-five buttons, he'll let me go. He'll let me walk away. But I have to earn every single one. By submitting to the darkest, cruelest, and most beautiful man I've ever known. "5 dark ★★★★★s!

As far as Crow is concerned, under his savageness, there are shreds of compassion and humanity" -Goodreads Reviewer "Haunting, disturbing, emotionally tormenting and oh so dark! I loved Pearl's strength and bravery. I got lost in Crow's complexity and fell in love with the man behind the mask. Being a fan of the dark, this definitely ticked all the right boxes for me." -Goodreads Reviewer "I read A LOT of books and this series will always be my favorite. Crow and Pearl. I fell in love with both of them. Penelope Sky knows how to develop her characters and does it very well. The story never gets boring.

Download or read book The Imperial Macrame Lace Book With Numerous Illustrations and Instructions Flax Threads written by Barber Brothers and published by Obscure Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1877. Many of the earliest books on weaving, textiles and needlework, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. The subject of Macrami, so well known in ancient times, is now so much in favor that it has already found its way into the principal Courts of Europe, and we take this method or introducing it to the Ladies of America, believing they will find it a fascinating yet simple study. It is remarkable that this knotted Lace, Macrame, in spite of its ancient date, should have been generally unknown in this country, until we had the honor and privilege of introducing it. Its history goes back to a very early date. Knotted threads in the most ingenious and varied designs may be seen in the pattern books of the 16th century. We have no doubt that as soon as the subject of this beautiful art is understood, it will be taken up and developed by all lovers of Lace work.
