The Assassin's Rejection - Bound by Duty Torn by Desire

Robert Jones

Publisher: BookRix

Summary

 The Assassin's Rejection: Bound by Duty, Torn by Desire I was trained to kill without hesitation, to follow orders without question. But some orders… some people… don’t leave room for loyalty. I never expected to face her again—the one I should have never wanted. She’s fire and defiance wrapped in beauty, a challenge I can’t ignore, even as the world around us demands I stay cold, controlled, untouchable. Every glance, every brush of her presence reminds me of what I lost, what I sacrificed, and what I can never have. The pack hierarchy I once obeyed feels like chains now, the rules a prison. Every decision comes at a cost—blood spilled, trust broken, hearts shattered. And yet, some ties refuse to break, some bonds refuse to die, even when I reject them. In the shadows of loyalty and betrayal, of love and revenge, I must choose. Do I follow the orders that shaped me—or the desires that haunt me? The line between hunter and hunted, between pain and passion, has never been thinner… This is a story of love refused, of choices that wound, of the power of a heart that refuses to be silenced. Dark, thrilling, and utterly unflinching, The Assassin’s Rejection will leave you questioning how far you would go to claim what your soul refuses to surrender.

Acres of Diamonds

Russell Conwell

*Acres of Diamonds* is an essay by Russell Herman Conwell, an American minister, lawyer, and writer. Conwell got the idea for this famous work during a trip to the Middle East. It started as a speech he gave to his former Civil War comrades, and he eventually delivered it across the U.S. and around the world over 6,000 times. 
The essay’s main message is that people don’t need to search far for success, wealth, or purpose; often, the resources they need are right where they are. Conwell illustrates this with a story about a man who sold his land to search for diamonds, only for the new owner to find a rich diamond mine on the property. Conwell encourages people to “dig in their own backyard.” 
Conwell’s earnings from this speech helped him establish Temple University and support various civic projects. After his death, the proceeds from the essay went to support a homeless shelter in Philadelphia. The work has since become a classic in New Thought literature.

White Noise For Baby - Baby...

Smoothed White Noise For Baby

Many doctors and baby advice books recommend playing white noise to help soothe a crying infant. When a baby is colicky, white noise can help calm them. This relaxing white noise collection for babies is 8 hours long, ensuring that the ambiance will continue playing all night to help your newborn sleep. 
 
White noise resembles the sounds the baby heard in the womb, which has a calming effect. It also masks other distracting noises so that your baby can fall asleep and remain asleep. 
 
While playing white noise for babies, it’s important to monitor the volume, as any smartphone or computer can produce levels that are too loud for your child. It's recommended to play the sound at least a few feet from where your infant is sleeping and to keep the volume no louder than the sound of a soft shower. 
 
Our white noise sounds have a gentle fade-in and fade-out feature to help customize the volume 10 seconds after you start the sound. 
The authors have created this collection to ensure your child has full sound support during naps and sleep. You will NOT hear any underlying music or voices embedded in this audio.

Enlightenment is an Accident -...

Tim Burkett

A warm-hearted guide to Buddhist practice for those ready to contend with the reality that enlightenment—the realization of non-self—can't be achieved by the self. 
 
 
 
A well-known spiritual saying goes, "Enlightenment is an accident. But we can make ourselves more accident-prone." As an authentic American Zen takes shape, enlightenment continues to be misunderstood as a project to be completed, a goal to be achieved, or a prize to be awarded. Tim Burkett's new book unhooks enlightenment from the hot air balloon of ego and brings it back down to earth. 
 
 
 
Drawing on stories of his first teacher, the Zen master Shunryu Suzuki (author of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind), and Burkett's decades of practice and teaching, he reveals how to live in the world with a deep joy that comes from embracing the work and play of this very moment. With the wisdom and humor of a seasoned practitioner familiar with all manner of eccentric fixations and silly dead-ends, he offers views and practices we can use to support the paradoxical process of letting enlightenment happen on its own.
