Robert–nicknamed Robin–is reluctant to help, but equally eager to get rid of this perplexing stranger... and to put his formidable bow-and-arrow to use.

Book excerpt: An Exotic Heir Weaving a web of revenge can be satisfying, but dangerous to your heart. London society is shallow and cruel, sending Cassandra Renwick running to Calcutta, the exotic seat of the British Raj. It’s a fascinating place filled with interesting sights – including the dark and mysterious Julian Ritchie. But she never thought that an even greater heartbreak could be here in this alien and enchanting land. Julian has always been discriminated against for being only half English. Embittered, he plots an intricate plan for vengeance with the innocent and lovely Cassandra as his pawn. But he soon finds that payback can be painful for the avenger as well when the threads of revenge unwittingly turn into the silken bonds of love. A Rake's Reward A treasure lost… American Sara Whately came to England with a single goal: recover a long-lost family treasure. Her father had long ago renounced his title and abandoned his country, but desperate financial straits call for desperate measures. Gaining access won’t be easy. The jewels are hidden on an estate Sara’s grandfather lost long ago in an unlucky turn of the cards. And then there’s the vexing, villainous, valiant Viscount Reath… A jewel of a woman… Sinclair Stratton, Lord Reath has always gotten everything he wants—money, privilege, and women. But after ten years in India, he’s returned to England, ready to make amends for his youthful follies. He plans to return his ill-gotten estate to its rightful owner but the man is impossible to find. And despite still being one of the most sought after rake’s in town, the bold American beauty he keeps encountering seems to be immune to his charms and dashing good looks. While Sara has promised to not just search for her grandfather's jewels, but make an attempt at fitting into society, it might just be that Viscount Reath is the treasure she actually needs. And a BONUS NOVELLA: Under the Mango Tree In 18th century Calcutta, Lakshmi Rai has grown up under and in the mango tree in her mother's garden. Escaping there from her chores every chance she gets, she hides amongst the branches to read and study, even though reading is unheard of—even forbidden—for a good Bengali girl. Only her brother knows and aids her in her passion for learning—until the day the Englishman comes into the garden and stood under her mango tree. Now all sorts of forbidden thoughts are entering her head—many of them having to do with the handsome Englishman, Lord Huntley, the man with blue-green eyes. But can a girl from a good Bengali family even dare to dream of such things? If she does, what else might be possible under the mango tree?

Book excerpt: Robin Hood was a legendary English outlaw and folk-hero who appears in ballads from the thirteenth century. He lived through the reign of Henry II, Richard I and John. He feuded with the Sheriff of Nottingham and lived in Sherwood Forest with a band of followers, his ‘Merry Men’. They robbed the rich to give to the poor. Among Robin’s companions were Little John, Friar Tuck, Will Scarlett and Alan-A-Dale. It is said that Robin was born in about 1160 at Locksley, Nottinghamshire. Ancient ballads abound with anecdotes of his personal courage, skill in archery, generosity and great popularity. He protected women and children with knightly chivalry. The first literary mention of Robin Hood was in William Langland’s celebrated poem Piers Plowman (c. 1377).

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - IT WAS a beautiful morning in the late July when I set forth on foot for the last time for Aros. A boat had put me ashore the night before at Grisapol; I had such breakfast as the little inn afforded, and, leaving all my baggage till I had an occasion to come round for it by sea, struck right across the promontory with a cheerful heart. I was far from being a native of these parts, springing, as I did, from an unmixed lowland stock. But an uncle of mine, Gordon Darnaway, after a poor, rough youth, and some years at sea, had married a young wife in the islands; Mary Maclean she was called, the last of her family; and when she died in giving birth to a daughter, Aros, the sea-girt farm, had remained in his possession. It brought him in nothing but the means of life, as I was well aware; but he was a man whom ill-fortune had pursued; he feared, cumbered as he was with the young child, to make a fresh adventure upon life; and remained in Aros, biting his nails at destiny. Years passed over his head in that isolation, and brought neither help nor contentment. Meantime our family was dying out in the lowlands; there is little luck for any of that race; and perhaps my father was the luckiest of all, for not only was he one of the last to die, but he left a son to his name and a little money to support it. I was a student of Edinburgh University, living well enough at my own charges, but without kith or kin; when some news of me found its way to Uncle Gordon on the Ross of Grisapol; and he, as he was a man who held blood thicker than water, wrote to me the day he heard of my existence, and taught me to count Aros as my home. Thus it was that I came to spend my vacations in that part of the country, so far from all society and comfort, between the codfish and the moorcocks; and thus it was that now, when I had done with my classes, I was returning thither with so light a heart that July day.

Download or read book The GIFT in the Odds by Jim Iyke Volume 1 written by Jim Iyke and published by CITSAP Inc. This book was released on 2021-05-24 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gift in the Odds is an exclusive inside look into the unconventional mind of one of Africa's most beloved celebrities, Jim Iyke. In this series, Jim brings his wit and candor to the fore as he shares his unique perspectives on some of the paramount issues in today's world. With his life and experiences as a backdrop, Jim points the searchlight on our traditions, patterns, and constraints. Notoriously elusive and reticent, Jim is well-known for his aversion to public exposure of his private life. With this series, Jim Iyke takes a step into the spotlight as he gives us an all-access pass to the momentous experiences of his life from childhood to date. In typical Jim Iyke fashion, The Gift in the Odds is bold, audacious, and unafraid to touch subjects usually considered too sensitive or taboo in traditional African societies. Walking Through Walls is the first Volume in Jim Iyke's groundbreaking new book series, The Gift in the Odds! Most people know Jim Iyke as a Nollywood Bad-boy Actor, but very few know the events that shaped him. Jim Iyke grew up as an only son in a family of girls in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the suburbs of Abuja. His dad's unconventional solutions to keeping his heir-apparent out of neighborhood gangs became the stimulus for the awakening of latent abilities that would form the backbone of one of Nollywood's most celebrated acting careers. As he grew up, Jim found out the hard way that the world was filled with people who would always try to take advantage of those who looked weaker, so he learned to stand for himself, fight for those who were weak and hone the power of his mind till it became a weapon. He became the dragon, always ready to spit fire and lash out when provoked. From simple beginnings, Jim surmounted the odds to become one of the most successful and highest-paid actors in Africa. On the heels of fame came controversy, and Jim's penchant for combative and roisterous behavior soon mirrored the villains, rogues and 'bad-boy' roles he played in movies. And so – the moniker 'The Bad Boy of Nollywood" was born. Walking Through Walls traces Jim's metamorphosis from a pre-teen misfit at odds with the polarities in his nature to a hell-raising firebrand with a taste for outrageous and scandalous behavior and finally to a philosophical, visionary entrepreneur with the world at his feet. It is a story of grit, determination and tenacity and how one man's determination to take charge of his life and reinvent his story became one of Africa's most remarkable success stories. Jim has gained a reputation as a lover and a fighter, and now he lets you in, as he draws back the curtain on how he became the Bad Boy of Nollywood and reveals Jim Iyke, as you've never seen him before! "I had experienced vulnerability and strength, often at the same time. I was intimately familiar with the chord of selflessness that often ran through the most 'villainous' acts. I knew the self-serving and narcissistic edge that tinged many 'altruistic' deeds. My life had taught me that every emotion, every character trait, and every single human being was an integral part of the big picture, and I felt honored to have a career that allowed me to thoroughly immerse myself in the shades of grey that mark the human experience." Jim Iyke, from 'Walking Through Walls'

Jack Coltrane grew up with his father's red-haired tomboy ward Meredith Fairfax chasing after him, always begging to tag along in his adventures during the years they resided at Coltrane House. Jack was variously annoyed, flattered, and as the years passed and childhood faded, both he and Merry sensed a slow change in their relationship. Friendship, blossoming into love. Love for each other, and a combined love for Coltrane House, fast falling into disrepair by his neglectful father. But one day the estate would be his, and Jack and Merry would make it beautiful again, raise their children there, and live happily ever after. Theirs was the perfect dream, until Jack's father took him aside to tell him something that sent his son fleeing from Coltrane House, away from Merry, perhaps never to return. Ah, love... why is it never easy? Oh...and then there's Jack's quite singular friend from America, and possibly a pair of matchmaking ghosts. Ghosts? Well, certainly - why not?
