Beschreibung

Jean Webster's novel 'Dear Enemy' is a classic work of fiction that delves into the complexities of societal norms and individual growth. Written in a charming and witty epistolary style, the book captures the essence of early 20th-century America while addressing timeless themes of love, friendship, and personal development. Set in a New York orphanage, the story follows the correspondence between the protagonist, Sallie McBride, and the orphanage's new director as they navigate challenges and forge unlikely connections. Webster's attention to detail and insightful character portrayals make 'Dear Enemy' a captivating read for literary enthusiasts of all ages. Jean Webster, a prolific American author and social activist, drew from her own experiences to write 'Dear Enemy'. As an advocate for women's rights and education, Webster infused her writing with progressive ideas and a keen understanding of human nature. Her strong voice and narrative skill shine through in this poignant and thought-provoking novel. I highly recommend 'Dear Enemy' to readers seeking a heartwarming yet thought-provoking read that offers valuable insights into human relationships and societal expectations. Jean Webster's timeless tale is sure to captivate and inspire readers of all backgrounds.

    A collection of spooky tales to invade the mind and explore the legend of the Ghost of The Pannell Witch. 
    Each story in this collection takes the reader on a deep dive into one of the many versions of the legend of Mary Pannell, who was executed for witchcraft in the small town of Kippax, West Yorkshire, in 1603. Her ghost is said to haunt the woods on the hill that to this day bear her name. 
    Was she the town’s wise woman, providing herbal remedies to its residents? Like many women executed for witchcraft in the 17th century, she may have been betrayed by her own friends and neighbours. But even in death, perhaps she continued to help those who needed it. 
    Perhaps she targeted by her local community because of her sexuality. What if her ghost takes it on herself to look out for the queer residents of Kippax? 
    Or is her story a darker one? Some say that whoever sees the ghost of Mary Pannell will soon have a death in the family. That Mary takes out her revenge on the young sons of Kippax. When one determined mother, who has lost everything, decides to fight back, can she manage to save the town?

    Out of money and down on his luck in a city that promised him a run of both, Tony turns to the one asset he knows he can sell: his honed, toned, dangerous alpha body, which looks surprisingly good covered in glitter. 
     
     
     
    Well, not sell, exactly—that's a line Tony won't cross. Display? Gyrate? Flex? Whatever. It pays his bills, and that's all that matters. 
     
     
     
    But one payment comes due sooner than expected, and when a slim, unearthly fae customer who can't seem to take his gleaming eyes off of Tony's . . . assets . . . presents him with the timely opportunity to make a little extra? Tony finds that he's willing to cross that line after all. 
     
     
     
    The golden coin Raven offers is enough to settle Tony's debts. And the way Raven takes what Tony gives him in return is enough for Tony to wish he'd offered himself for free. 
     
     
     
    But when the sun rises, Raven's gone—along with the coin. 
     
     
     
    And Tony isn't the kind of guy to let things go. Especially not when they belong to him . . . 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    FOXED: To be thrown into a state of uncertainty—flustered, bamboozled, bewildered, puzzled, vexed.  
    AKA, me. Jed Marshall. 55-year-old successful classic car mechanic; divorced, mostly closeted, and whose wholly inexperienced bisexuality has suddenly awakened after one smouldering look and said, ‘Damn, who’s the hottie?’ Or words to that effect.  
    Cue, Nash Collingwood. 53-year-old scarily smart high school principal; out, gay, confident, and sexy as hell. He’s also my daughter’s boss. So, not complicated at all, right? Nash could ignite a bonfire with a single sultry look, comes fully accessorised with a charm offensive Churchill would be proud of, an easy-going flattery that thrills my heart far too effortlessly, and an impressive track record with men many decades my junior.  
    In short, Nash is everything I’m not, and everything I’ve avoided for roughly my entire life. He’s the hot rod to my sensible family car, that is if you like your family cars with a few dents, creaky suspension, unexpected backfires, and a dodgy stick.  
    The last thing I need is a relationship—especially with a man. I buried that pipe dream a long time ago and a little loneliness is a small price to pay. The festive season and long summer vacation are on our doorstep. I’m finally getting things right with my family who mean everything to me, and I don’t want to mess that up.  
    But Nash doesn’t care about my awkward inexperience, or clumsy excuses, or any of my insecurities. Nash only sees me. He wants me. For the first time in years, I feel alive and sexy and a whole lot more than just a good father and grandfather.  
    I should walk away, but the closer Nash and I become, the more he fills my grey world with colour, and the promise of a second chance at love I never thought possible.

    Some couples are a match made in heaven. Moira and Kenzie are convinced the only place they're a match is in hell. 
     
     
     
    Raised as the shining prodigies of warring highland dance schools, the two grew up with blaring bagpipes as the backing track for a feud that took them all the way to the world championships. 
     
     
     
    Moira could never keep Kenzie's icy glares from getting under her skin, and Kenzie could never hold back an eye-roll as she watched the crowds fawn over her rival's happy-go-lucky charm. 
     
     
     
    Starting college has forced both women to hang up their kilts, but when their local highland dance association announces a scholarship for a life-changing amount of money, they find themselves back onstage for one last season. 
     
     
     
    The stakes are higher than ever, but between shooting daggers at each other's backs and insults at each other's faces, their eyes start lingering, their hearts start pounding, and the sparks begin to build into a fire neither of them can control. 
     
     
     
    Hell could freeze before either woman would admit their attraction, but that won't stop them from using it to play dirty—and getting caught in the crossfire of their feelings along the way. 
     
     
     
    After all, sometimes the devil wears tartan.
