Lucky in Love

Barbara Cartland

Sinossi

Dashing Selby Harle, Lord Harlestone, has a reputation in London as a ‘ladies man’ and at the instigation of the influential Princess of Wales is all but blackmailed into marrying a Society beauty he does not like let alone love.
 
            And so he decides to escape to America, where he has invested some of his fortune in cattle ranching.
 
            In the wilds of Colorado, where the gold and minerals rush is at fever pitch, even this man of the world is shocked by the brazen houses of pleasure in Denver where ‘madams’ shamelessly ply their trade.
 
            He is even more appalled when a gang of rough cowboys arrive at one such house with a helpless young waif offering her for sale, who has just lost her mother and father to the Red Indians.
 
            The girl’s name, they say, is Nelda Harle. Could this be the daughter of his estranged cousin, ‘Handsome Harry’, a notorious gambler and ‘card sharp’?
 
            Selby feels duty bound to ‘purchase’ the girl for her own protection and proposes to send her safely home to England as soon as he returns to New York from his associate’s Denver Ranch.
 
            Nelda turns out to be a glorious beauty of eighteen and even more stunning when dressed in fashionable gowns.
 
            Fate and love intervene when Arapaho Indians attack the wagon train she is travelling in and Nelda bravely saves Lord Harlestone’s life.
 
            And he comes to realise that there is so much more to this young beauty than meets the eye.

Scar

R. J. F.

Alex Peterson, aka Scar, doesn’t know many details about his past. He doesn’t know why two aliens took his mother away, he doesn’t know why two other aliens killed his father, and he doesn’t know how he got the scar on his face—the one that occasionally turns him into a murderous monster. 
He lives on the streets of Neetro City with his partner Christine Summers, and together, they steal the things they need to survive. But life as usual is disrupted when Alex is taken by a man in a suit and brought to the Assassination Police Department, who gives him an ultimatum: Join them and help to eliminate the dangerous people who terrorize Neetro City, or die. 
But what they don’t know is that sometimes Alex is one of those “dangerous people”. How long will he be able to keep that a secret? 
This book contains language, violence, and suggestive themes, as well as references to child abuse, sexual assault, sexual slavery, and alcoholism.

Middlemarch (Book 4: Three Love...

George Eliot

Middlemarch (Book 4: Three Love Problems), A Study of Provincial Life is a novel by English author George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans. It appeared in eight installments (volumes) in 1871 and 1872. Set in Middlemarch, a fictional English Midlands town, from 1829 to 1832, it follows distinct, intersecting stories with many characters. Issues include the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism, self-interest, religion, hypocrisy, political reform, and education. Leavened with comic elements, Middlemarch approaches significant historical events in a realist mode: the Reform Act 1832, early railways, and the accession of King William IV. It looks at medicine of the time and reactionary views in a settled community facing unwelcome change. Eliot began writing the two pieces that formed the novel in 1869–1870 and completed it in 1871. Initial reviews were mixed, but it is now seen widely as her best work and one of the great English novels.

Authoritarianism By Design -...

Anonimo

What happens when freedom is just a brand—and democracy a memory? 
Authoritarianism by Design is a searing and timely historical fiction novel that exposes the engineered erosion of democracy in modern-day America. Through the lives of Black, Latino, Asian, and White citizens—students, veterans, immigrants, mothers, and resistance leaders—author Michael J. Henderson weaves a powerful narrative that explores systemic oppression, political corruption, and the fight for justice in a society that was never designed to be equal. 
From backroom deals to constitutional crises, from the silencing of dissent to the rewriting of truth, this novel lays bare the mechanics of power: how laws are weaponized, fear is marketed, and freedom is sold to the highest bidder. At the heart of the story is a resistance—a coalition of ordinary people who refuse to be erased, choosing instead to rise, resist, and reclaim their voices. 
Both hauntingly prophetic and unapologetically raw, this is more than fiction—it’s a call to action. 
Perfect for readers who appreciate: 
Political fiction with real-world relevance 
Narratives about race, power, and activism 
Social justice storytelling with emotional depth 
The courage of everyday heroes and marginalized voices

Whatever for Hire - A Magical...

R.J. Blain

Warning: This novel contains excessive humor, action, excitement, adventure, magic, romance, and bodies. Proceed with caution. 
Fetching a cat out of a tree should’ve been a quick, easy fifty bucks in Kanika’s pocket. Instead, following one stray thought, the devil pays her a visit and leaves her with a debt to repay. 
Owing the devil a favor is bad enough, but her life is turned upside down when it’s time to pay the piper. First, she doesn’t want the world’s sexiest firefighting, kitten-rescuing Scot as an unwilling companion. Since that wasn’t bad enough, she doesn’t know who wants him dead or why, but there’s no way in hell she’s going to let someone mar his perfection. 
Add in the fact the devil wants an heir, and there’s only one thing she knows for certain: she’s in for one hell of a job.
