My old man decides to spring a surprise wedding on us. Great. Just what I need—another reason to suck it up for the family. I’d rather be at my tattoo parlor, inking my next masterpiece, but hey, for Dad? I’ll grin and bear it. The ceremony? A snooze-fest. Champagne? Please. Whiskey’s the only thing that’s gonna get me through this misery. I’m just about to make my escape when she appears. She’s an angel in a dress—big brown eyes that could melt steel, a smile that could start a fire. And just like that, the sour mood I’ve been dragging around is gone. She's way too young for me—nine years too young—but damn if that doesn’t make my blood run hotter. I’m thinking I might just stick around and enjoy the show...until I find out who she really is. Turns out, she’s my new stepsister. One look at her and I know I’m in deep. But you know what? Screw the rules. I’m done being good. She’s gonna be mine—whether we’re family or not. Warning: This is a taboo romance that pushes all the boundaries. If you’re looking for a sizzling forbidden romance with an obsessed, dirty-talking stepbrother, then this one is for you!Voir livre
The Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Greece and Rome had returned to Earth—with all their awesome powers intact, and Earth was transformed almost overnight. War on any scale was outlawed, along with boom-and-bust economic cycles, and prudery—no change was more startling than the face of New York, where, for instance, the Empire State Building became the Tower of Zeus! In this totally altered world, William Forrester was an acolyte of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, and therefore a teacher, in this case of a totally altered history—and Maya Wilson, girl student, evidently had a totally altered way of grading in mind—but what else would a worshipper of Venus, Goddess of Love, have in mind?Voir livre

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.
