Beschreibung

For beautiful young Ivana her stepfather Keith Waring is no replacement for her much-missed father, the Honourable Hugo Sherard, who was killed in Spain fighting against Napoleon Bonaparte.
 
Her stepfather is a spendthrift and he has gambled away virtually everything the family owns.
 
Ivana’s hatred for her stepfather is doubled when, to her utter horror, she overhears him offering her as a ‘kept woman’ to the equally despised Lord Hanford for over five thousand pounds!
 
Ivana runs away with her old Nanny acting as her chaperone and companion and applies for work through a Domestic Agency, where she is invited to apply for a post using her flawless Parisian French for the Earl of Lorimer, who is working in the War Office.
 
Expecting a man to apply for the post, the imperious but handsome Earl is at first sceptical, but on realising that he knew her father, he soon warms to her, saying that he has a ‘difficult and dangerous mission for her!’
 
Ivana is to become a spy, working undercover against Napoleon’s secret agents. And so her perilous adventures begin.
 
Very soon she loses her heart – and at every turn she risks losing her life.
 
But the worst danger of all comes not from the wartime enemy but from the evil Lord Hanford who is still determined to possess her as he has already paid for her.

    Introduction to "Revolution 2.0: When AI Evolves Faster Than Humans" 
    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant concept confined to science fiction; it is rapidly shaping our present and redefining our future. But what happens when AI progresses at a rate beyond human comprehension? "Revolution 2.0: When AI Evolves Faster Than Humans" is a thought-provoking exploration into this unfolding technological revolution. 
    This book takes readers on a journey through AI's rapid acceleration—from its origins and breakthroughs to the present state and what the future holds. As AI systems become more autonomous, intelligent, and capable of self-learning, we must confront profound questions: Will AI surpass human intelligence? What risks and opportunities will emerge? How will society, ethics, and the economy be reshaped by this revolution? 
    With a blend of historical context, expert insights, and future projections, "Revolution 2.0" examines both the promises and perils of AI's unchecked growth. It addresses critical themes such as machine consciousness, ethical dilemmas, AI-driven automation, and the potential scenarios that could unfold in the coming years. 
    As we stand at the crossroads of human and artificial intelligence, this book urges us to reflect on our role in shaping AI's trajectory. Will we harness its power for the greater good, or will we struggle to control the very entities we have created? 
    The future is arriving faster than we think—are we ready for the revolution?

    In a rapidly changing New York City, four seemingly unconnected lives intertwine over the course of one year, revealing the profound impact of small choices and quiet struggles. Mira, an overworked public defender, is losing faith in a justice system that never seems to favor those she represents. Daniel, a former journalist turned food delivery driver, documents the hidden lives of gig workers while reckoning with his own failed ambitions. Sienna, a first-generation college student, grapples with the weight of her immigrant family's expectations as she navigates an elite academic world that was never designed for her. And Vincent, a retired professor estranged from his family, seeks connection in a world that no longer seems to have a place for him. As their lives unexpectedly converge through a single act of violence on a subway platform, they are forced to confront the consequences of their choices, the failures of the institutions they once trusted, and the possibility of redemption in an unforgiving world.

    Mage Jannick Pederson thought it was a simple assignment: help the gryphon leader find some missing human children and then go home. A noble cause, even if he didn't much like the abrasive jerk. So why didn't someone tell him he'd be working closely with the leader's son instead? That hot piece of perfection could make even happily-single Jannick give up his no-strings-attached ways. 
     
     
     
    Gryphon shifter Conall Arwan has simple goals for his life: get his PhD in pediatric shifter social work and stay off the radar of his disapproving father. When his father orders him to work with a hot but arrogant mage to find missing human kids, all Conall sees is how it pushes back his graduation date. Again. And even if the mage unexpectedly turns out to be not so bad—and maybe even a little sweet—there's still no future for them. Conall's dad has plans for him and they don't include getting involved with a sexy, infuriating mage.
