Synopsis

By the time the novel appeared to tremendous popular and critical acclaim in 1871-2, George Eliot was recognized as England's finest living novelist. It was her ambition to create a world and portray a whole community--tradespeople, middle classes, country gentry--in the rising provincial town of Middlemarch, circa 1830. Vast and crowded, rich in narrative irony and suspense, «Middlemarch» is richer still in character, in its sense of how individual destinies are shaped by and shape the community, and in the great art that enlarges the reader's sympathy and imagination. It is truly, as Virginia Woolf famously remarked, 'one of the few English novels written for grown-up people'.

"One of the few English novels written for grown-up people." —Virginia Woolf
"What do I think of 'Middlemarch'? What do I think of glory — except that in a few instances this 'mortal has already put on immortality.' George Eliot was one. The mysteries of human nature surpass the 'mysteries of redemption,' for the infinite we only suppose, while we see the finite." —Emily Dickinson
"'Middlemarch' is probably the greatest English novel." —Julian Barnes
"They've [women] produced the greatest writer in the English language ever, George Eliot, and arguably the third greatest, Jane Austen, and certainly the greatest novel, 'Middlemarch'..." —Martin Amis

    Description:
    At fifteen, Rory Ellison was brilliant, ambitious, and completely out of options.
    
    An arranged engagement to Nathan Harrington — heir to one of the wealthiest families in the state — had been decided for her by a powerful old man she couldn't refuse. Nathan despised her. His mother plotted against her. And the professor who'd engineered it all watched from a distance, testing her without mercy.
    
    So Rory decided to play the long game.
    
    She would become Nathan's most devoted, most humiliating admirer. She would make herself indispensable to the family — and unbearable to him. She would maneuver every piece into place, and then, at exactly the right moment, walk away.
    
    *All I Ever Wanted Was Out* is a razor-sharp story of a girl who refused to be someone else's prize — and the decade it took to prove it.
    
    Some games are won by never playing the way they expect.

    Sir Lucius Radstock, dry, dashing and as devoted to horses as Elizabeth herself, is a welcome diversion. But as their acquaintance deepens, Elizabeth begins to suspect she may have judged too hastily. Although surely her second Season cannot rival the misfortunes of the first .

    He rejected her before the crown could touch her head.The bond shattered in front of the pack — but her heart never forgot.Now the Luna he betrayed is back… and she’s no longer the girl he left behind. When Kaia is rejected by the Alpha King, she loses more than her future — she loses her place, her name, and the bond that was meant to define her life. Forced into exile, she becomes stronger, colder, and impossible to break. But when danger threatens the territory, the Alpha King summons the one woman he swore he didn’t need… and the past refuses to stay buried. The girl who once waited to be chosen returns as a warrior who chooses herself. Kaia rebuilds her power, her identity, and the strength the pack underestimated. The broken bond begins to stir again, not as weakness — but as something dangerous, undeniable, and impossible to ignore. Orion never stopped feeling the connection he rejected. Regret shadows every decision, every sleepless night, every moment she stands within reach but beyond forgiveness. As threats rise and secrets surface, he must face the truth: losing her was the greatest mistake of his reign… and winning her back may cost everything. Kaia must decide whether love is redemption or another betrayal waiting to happen. Trust means vulnerability. Forgiveness means risk. And claiming the bond again means standing at the center of power, politics, and enemies who now know exactly how valuable she is. A rejected Luna, a remorseful Alpha King, a bond that refuses to die, and a revenge story that turns heartbreak into power. If you love rejected mate angst, second-chance passion, protective Alpha heroes, political pack drama, and fierce heroines who make kings beg — this paranormal romance delivers emotion, tension, heat, and a hard-won happily ever after. Start reading and watch the betrayed Luna reclaim her crown.

    INTRODUCTION: 
     
    God wants your marriage to succeed and prosper, and He has given you the blueprint to make your family's happiness possible! The Bible contains rock-solid principles upon which you can build a strong marriage, home, and family. 
     
    11 Corinthians 2:14 
    ‘’Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place.’’ 
     
    Your marriage has an enemy. The enemy who wants to steal kill and destroy wants to devour your marriage.  The victorious family is the family that always record victory in their home and marriage. The attack of the enemy will not scatter them. 
     
    Here is the truth that most people do not like to admit: marriage is hard. It is incredibly hard. Spending your life and time forever with someone who is different from you is not quite the walk in the park. It has its ups and downs, its highs and lows. There is disagreement, then agreement. There is breaking, then making, but when handled right, it is incredibly beautiful. 
     
    In this mini-book, I will be talking about sex in marriage. In my years of experience as a pastor, I have found out that some believers are more spiritual about this subject because their focus is in making heaven. 
     
    I want you to know that God Himself commanded sex between married couples.

    Brooding, intense, passionate…
     
    These are the three things Anna knows about the mysterious man who rescues her when she washes up on the shores after Scotland after surviving a shipwreck. With no memory of who she is except her name, she must rely on this darkly handsome Scot, Aiden Kincade as she searches for answers about her past. The more time she spends with Aiden, the more his heated looks, and fiery kisses ignite desires she never knew she had. But she fears that finding out who she is will only tear her and Aiden apart.
     
    The last thing Aiden Kincade expects is to find a beautiful woman half-drowned while he rides along the beach. But the moment he takes her into his arms, he realizes that this is the woman he has dreamed about for years, the woman who had been prophesied to bring about his death should he dare to love her. And yet denying his love for her is as impossible as drawing his next breath.
     
    It’s clear from the moment they meet, that fate has brought them together. But as Anna’s past begins to surface, and a terrible danger looms over her, Aiden fears that he might lose everything and everyone he holds dear unless he can find a way to defy destiny.
