![]() ![]() For a moment her heart swelled with relief: David, she thought. Nora was sitting at her dressing table, her maidservant Grizel braiding her hair for bed, when she heard hoofbeats on the road without. ![]() But when war breaks out, Nora has no choice but to place her trust in her dearest enemy-and pray that love does not become the weapon that destroys them both… Excerpt Lady Leonora knows that Rivenham is the devil in beautiful disguise-and that the irresistible tension between them is as unpredictable as the dilemma in which Nora finds herself: held hostage on her own estate by Rivenham and the king’s men. But when tasked by the king to uncover a traitor, he discovers instead a conspiracy-and a woman whose courage awakens terrible temptations. Rivenham will let nothing-not the deepening shadow of war, nor the growing darkness within him-interfere with his ambition to restore his family to its former glory. Glittering court socialites and underworld cutpurses alike know that Adrian Ferrers, Earl of Rivenham, is the most dangerous man in London. In the vein of classic authors like Julia Quinn, Sarah MacLean, and Eloisa James, award-winning and USA TODAY bestselling author Meredith Duran is at her very best in this sensual and riveting tale of love lost and then found again. ![]()

Rostek Save Me (WITSEC Book 2) Kindle Edition by Ashley N. ![]() ![]() ![]() These are some of the first stories we hear as children-stories of princesses and princes, trickster animals, awful parents, lost children, witches, and monsters. I truly believe stories have the power to change the world.Īnd no type of story has more power than the fairy tale. Being able to open a window into another way of life, another way of thinking, can help shape a person’s worldview in an important way. Stories offer an opportunity to explore different viewpoints to which we might not have access, to see ourselves in situations distinctive from our own, and to walk in someone else’s skin for a while. I know there are many of us, both book professionals and readers, who can look back at the books we read and clung to in high school and childhood, and know that those books helped us get through things that might have been too much otherwise. ![]() ![]() I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that when I was a teenager, books saved me. ![]() ![]() He also owned Olsen's Inn in Massapequa Park / Amityville across from the Zoo.

And I am proud of it because where I live now, everyone knows I am from up north. I catch up with old friends and family, and one thing is for sure: my Long Island accent will always stay with me. ![]() I miss the food, All American hamburgers, the local pizza and Chinese restaurants, the ice cream shop on Broadway near the train tracks.

While the end of the Civil War in Appomattox, VA on Ap(and the Emancipation Proclamation before that) is often attributed as the official end of American slavery, Washington was most likely freed only when the Union Army passed through the plantation on which he lived. Washington’s autobiography begins with emancipation, or the freeing of slaves upon the Union Army’s victory over the Southern Confederates in Virginia in 1865. As the title suggests, Washington’s autobiography is historically marked by the rise and establishment of former black slaves in American society. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She was sent to Birmingham to have her child, but returned to Montgomery to be part of the protests and live at home.
