Bred to be a Boss, a world-class marksman, master of disguise, with no mercy and no fear. Liam, next in line to lead the Irish, believes he’s getting a simple-minded wife, one he can control, one who bends to his every need. Their marriage was arranged by their fathers in hopes to end years of bloodshed between the Irish and the Italians. Ruthless People is a romantic crime fiction set in modern day Chicago, following the life and marriage of Melody Nicci Giovanni and Liam Callahan-rivals by blood and leaders through fear. But behind closed doors is a constant battle for dominance between two Bosses, cultures, and hearts.

A way that the Lords manipulate you into doing what they want. He made me believe that anyway, but it was just another lie. He offered me what no one else ever had-freedom. I never got the chance to do what I wanted until Ryat Alexander Archer came along and gave me an option for a better life. My entire life has been planned out for me. People think growing up with money is freeing, but I promise you, it’s not. And during their senior year, they are offered a chosen one. They devote their lives to violence in exchange for power. They are above all-the most powerful men in the world. NOW AN AMAZON TOP 50 BESTSELLER An all-new dark standalone romance from the USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Shantel Tessier THE CHOSEN ONE Barrington University is home of the Lords, a secret society that requires their blood in payment. They told him that none of the churches on the earth were Their Church and that Joseph would be the one to restore Their gospel in its fulness. While praying out loud for the first time, he experienced what is now known as the First Vision, when God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, appeared to the boy Joseph. This fervor led 14-year-old Joseph to question which of all the churches was true and which church God would have him join. Born in 1805 in Vermont, he moved as a young boy to Palmyra, New York, a place of great religious fervor at the time. Others honor, defend, and praise him as the modern prophet of their faith, the translator of the Book of Mormon, and a person sent by God to usher in the latter days. Today nearly 20 million internet references about the Prophet verify Moroni’s prophecy: Some claim that he was a liar, a false teacher, and an apostate. In 1823, 17-year-old Joseph Smith was visited by the angel Moroni, who declared that “ name should be had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues, or that it should be both good and evil spoken of among all people” ( JS-History 1:33). A non-Ludlum book supposedly inspired by his unused notes, Covert One: The Hades Factor, has also been made into a mini-series. Some of Ludlum's novels have been made into films and mini-series, including The Osterman Weekend, The Holcroft Covenant, The Apocalypse Watch, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum. Ludlum also published books under the pseudonyms Jonathan Ryder and Michael Shepherd. He is the author of The Scarlatti Inheritance, The Chancellor Manuscript, and the Jason Bourne series- The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and The Bourne Ultimatum-among others. There are more than 210 million of his books in print, and they have been translated into thirty-two languages. Robert Ludlum was the author of twenty-seven novels, each one a New York Times bestseller. Parks' act of defiance became an important symbol of the modern Civil Rights Movement and Parks became an international icon of resistance to racial segregation. Her courage in a state where the Klu Klux Klan and lynchings were still a part of Southern culture forced the nation to move forward in efforts to right the jaded "separate but equal" laws that plagued the South. Rosa was a person who was above reproach, and people could not find fault with her character. Because Rosa Parks was a small woman and not a strong intimidating looking man, she was the perfect face for the civil rights fight in Alabama and across the country. Rosa Parks set into motion an opportunity for African Americans to stand together in protest and have not only the injustice heard by whites, but also demanded equality on public transportation. For me, by describing the house in human terms, I was able to show my empathy for the house. This is because he assumes the reader who identifies with the house may feel loneliness and imagine the pain of having one’s skin torn off. Personally, I felt that Bradbury was trying to evoke empathy from the reader. In addition to this, I was able to understand his purpose of using smiles. Bradbury poetic imagery personifies the house. I found this simile very confronting to read and helped me to identify the house as a human being. An example that created repulsion in me was when he describes the ‘nerves’ of the house were ‘revealed as if a surgeon had torn the skin off to let the red veins quiver in the scalded air’. His use of diverse literacy techniques influenced me in a positive way as it helped me to create imagery in my head. However, Bradbury’s use of similes and personifications were the highlight of my reading experience. With no human interaction and characters in the story, I imagined the story to be nothing but dull and depressing. There Will Come Soft Rains gives a glimpse of what’s to come, and for us living in 2019, 2026 is the near future. The story reflects how far the world has come to revolutionize itself, especially since the 1950s. Bradbury demonstrates a world of technology and proposes that humankind is destroyed by its own arrogance. Misselthwaite by Susan Moody is the unofficial sequel to the classic children's novel The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

As Lindsey Graham told the author, his supporters in South Carolina generally don’t read The New York Times, and they won’t read this book, either. Meanwhile, many of the most alpha of the lapdogs happily conceded to Mark Leibovich that they were “in on the joke”. Trump’s savage bullying of everyone in his circle, along with his singular command of his political base, created a dangerous culture of submission in the Republican Party. What would these politicos do to preserve their place in the sun, or at least the orbit of the spray tan? What would they do to preserve their “relevance”? Almost anything, it turns out. Thank You for Your Servitude is Mark Leibovich’s unflinching account of the moral rout of a major American political party, tracking the transformation of Rubio, Cruz, Graham, and their ilk into the administration’s chief enablers, and the swamp’s lesser lights into frantic chasers of the grift. Even more, in their outrage: Trump was a menace and an affront to our democracy. In the early months of Trump’s candidacy, the Republican Party’s most important figures, people such as Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Lindsey Graham, were united - and loud - in their scorn and contempt. From the author of the number one New York Times best seller This Town, the eyewitness account of how the GOP collaborated with Donald Trump to transform Washington’s “swamp” into a gold-plated hot tub - and a onetime party of rugged individualists into a sycophantic personality cult. |
