The Sign of Love

Barbara Cartland

Sinopsis

Not only has the beautiful eighteen year old Bettina Charlwood lost her beloved mother but is made all but destitute by her father’s constant gambling and she has to leave the French school as her deceased Godmother had financed her fees. 
 
Now death strikes once more as her chaperone dies on the ferry from Calais to Dover in a wild storm.  And Bettina, not knowing what to do, is saved by an earnest young gentleman whose name is Lord Eustace Veston.
 
Arriving home she finds that she and her father are invited by the famous Duke of Alveston to accompany him on a trip in his luxurious yacht to Egypt with a large party for the historic Opening of the Suez Canal in 1869.
 
Another surprise awaits her when she finds that the Duke has invited his half-brother as well, whom her father hopes that she will marry.  And that half-brother is none other than her Good Samaritan at Dover, Lord Eustace Veston himself.
 
But while Bettinna finds the Duke almost impossibly handsome and awe-inspiring, Lord Eustace by contrast reveals himself to be a mean-spirited ‘do-gooder’ – and something of a bully to boot.
 
In addition he has developed a deep hatred for the Duke and he has set his heart on inheriting his title and huge fortune by any means.
 
And, despite Lord Eustace’s assumption that Bettina will happily marry him, she soon finds the magnificence, generosity and great charm of the Duke very hard to resist.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

They took her innocence, stripped away the control she held over her own body, and reveled in the way she trembled beneath them. Their dominance was unrelenting. And they weren’t finished.

They wanted more.

They were obsessed with her sweetness, her purity her innocence.

But she doesn’t belong in their world. She’s not the kind of woman they should want. Yet, as the Blood Moon rises, and as dark secrets about her own hidden power unfold, Selene finds herself torn between the man-made world she’s always known and the dangerous, intoxicating world of the Triplet Alphas.
