  Edgar Allen Poe: THE BLACK CAT -...

  Edgar Allan Poe

  The story is a study of the psychology of guilt, often paired in analysis with Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart".[2] In both, a murderer carefully conceals his crime and believes himself unassailable, but eventually breaks down and reveals himself, impelled by a nagging reminder of his guilt. "The Black Cat", which also features questions of sanity versus insanity, is Poe's strongest warning against the dangers of alcoholism. 
   In the story, an unnamed narrator has a strong affection for pets until he perversely turns to abusing them. His favorite, a pet black cat, bites him one night and the narrator punishes it by cutting its eye out and then hanging it from a tree. The home burns down but one remaining wall shows a burned outline of a cat hanging from a noose. He soon finds another black cat, similar to the first except for a white mark on its chest, but he develops a hatred for it as well. He attempts to kill the cat with an axe but his wife stops him; instead, the narrator murders his wife. It becomes even more macabre but you will discover that by listening.

  Tall, dark, and brooding—to say that American Maxwell Crenshaw stood out in the glittering ballrooms of London is an understatement. He vowed never to set foot in England again, but when a summons from his father along with an ultimatum to secure his legacy has him crossing the Atlantic for the last time, reuniting him with the delectable Lady Helena March, he can't deny the temptation she presents. Or the ideas she inspires . . .  
   
   
    
  Lady Helena March is flirting with scandal. Instead of spending her time at teas and balls in search of another husband, as is expected of a young widow, Helena pours her energy into The London Home for Young Women. But Society gives no quarter to unmarried radicals who associate with illegitimate children and fallen women, and Helena's funding is almost run out. So when the sinfully seductive Crenshaw heir suggests a fake engagement to save them both—him from an unwanted marriage and her from scorn and financial ruin—Helena finds herself too fascinated to refuse the sexy American.

  In a nameless country under military occupation, two friends prepare to attend a wedding. The young man is from the occupied region ("This Place"), the woman is from the occupying nation-state ("That Place"). The complicated relationship between these two protagonists with unusual professions—he is a Protest Designer and she is a De-programmer—is tested when, on the eve of the wedding, the occupying power, That Place, formally annexes This Place and declares a curfew. 
   
   
   
  Suddenly finding themselves confined to the same isolated space, the young woman and man try to kill time but inevitably wind up talking about the ways in which the war between their homelands pervades the unexplored and undeniable attraction between them. Will their relationship become another casualty of war? 
   
   
   
  This Place That Place is an evocative novel that functions as a bold allegory for militarized occupations anywhere. This brilliant literary debut provides new ways to think about the intersections between the personal and the political; between occupier and occupied; between the kinds of bonds that endure, and those that have no choice but to fracture.

  As luck would have it, the worst job I've ever had is also the reason I'm in the right place at the right time to run into billionaire venture capitalist, Carson Myles. He takes one look at me and offers me a bunch of cash to be his fake girlfriend at an important business event that could make or break his career. No problem. This man is so hot that I'm willing to be his fake anything. The plan is simple—for one night, I stand by his side, smile, and project the vision of a doting long-term girlfriend so his bosses see him as a dependable man they're willing to take a bet on. It all seems easy enough. 
   
   
   
  Until his bosses ask me a direct question and my wild imagination kicks in. I not only put on a fake accent, but I also spin a web of lies about my imaginary travels around the world with my fake jet-setting parents. Now, somehow I've gotten us invited to the Swiss Alps to ski with some of the wealthiest people in the investment world. But there's a catch—I've never skied before, and I have to keep up the pretense I've created, including the accent, while also pretending to be head-over-heels in love with Carson. I find myself falling for Carson for real. But I struggle to trust his feelings are genuine. Is he falling for me, or is he falling for the fake version of me I created to impress his bosses?

  Santa's Sleigh has crashed in Eve's backyard. 
  To be clear, it's a plane named Santa's Sleigh. 
  She saves Adam from the wreckage, and although he's injured, he's not too injured to make endless jokes about how they belong together. Adam and Eve jokes. Ugh. 
  It would be so lame if he weren't so sexy. And if Eve didn't live in The Middle of Nowhere, Alaska, where the only men around are polar bears. 
  Could Adam be Eve's Christmas present from Santa? 
  Men don't usually fall from the sky, but when they do... might as well enjoy. 
  It's snowing men. Hallelujah? 
  This is a steamy holiday rom-com to heat up the cold winter. Filled with lots of laughs and a happily-ever after. Snowflake Creek is short and sweet, so you can enjoy even during the busy holidays! ❤️
