  This antiquarian book contains Alexandre Dumas's 1846 novel, "Captain Paul". A romantic romp of brave heroes, devious villains, desperate battles, and true love, this epic tale of high adventure and daring-do is highly recommended for fans of Dumas's work, and would make for a fantastic addition to any bookshelf. The novel is loosely based on the exploits of John Paul Jones, a captain in the American Navy during the revolutionary war. Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was a famous French writer. He is best remembered for his exciting romantic sagas, including "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo". Despite making a great deal of money from his writing, Dumas was almost perpetually penniless thanks to his veritably extravagant lifestyle. His novels have been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over 200 motion pictures. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing this antiquarian book in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

  In A Christmoose Story, hockey player Lars is desperate to impress the shy, bookish caribou shifter Julie. Desperate enough to lie and say that he’s a bear shifter, because who could ever love a big, goofy moose?

An unconventional Christmas gift is the perfect spice for the rest of their life together. 
  In All in the Timing, Liam is thrilled to meet his mate during an interview for a resident doctor at the new Shifting Sands Bay...and less thrilled by the responsibilities he fears come with being a mate. Can an ace dragon shifter navigate a path to happiness with (or despite!) the enthusiastic help of the resort staff? 
  A bonus short story, Scarlet and the Christmas Kittens, is included. 
  Hilarious and heartwarming, three standalone novellas and one short story return you to the beloved island of Shifting Sands Resort—or introduce you to it.

That would be admitting defeat.The day a tea bag splats onto his face whilst he's emptying the dregs of his morning cuppa at Macy's Tea Shoppe is the one that makes him question each of his current life choices…the tea bag and that the shop is currently being run by one rather friendly, rather hunky, but rather young Australian named Bradley Summers.Tea has never tasted so good.
