A Princess for Cale/A Princess for Cain


Susan Stoker - 2017
    If you read them there, you do not need to re-purchase as they are the same stories. A Princess for Cale by Susan Stoker Katelin Kriss comes from nothing—literally. A lifetime in foster care has ensured she’s used to little notice. So when she develops a crush on a real-life prince, she expects him to remain her favorite fantasy. After all, what can she possibly offer a man who has everything? Prince Cale Alexander and his twin brother, Cain, noticed Katelin and her best friend weeks ago, in a local bar, and both have been wanting from afar ever since. Before Cale can approach his shy beauty, the women are caught in a dangerous situation that thrusts Katelin first into his arms…and then into his bed. Cale will never be king, but he still wants the fairy tale…with his princess, Katelin. A Princess for Cain by Becca Jameson As a royal prince, Cain Alexander has everything he could possibly want at his disposal. But he and his twin brother have always felt something was lacking. After spending their childhood under the watchful eye of the royal court, the two of them break the mold and head to America where dreams are made. Shayla Peters had a rough start in life. Raised primarily in foster care, she and her closest friend have aged out of the system, gotten jobs, found an apartment, and forged a life. What neither Cain and his brother nor Shayla and her friend can easily control is finding the right person to spend their lives with. They come from different worlds. They have incomparable backgrounds. But love doesn’t care. It worms its way into the soul without invitation. Is it enough though? The probability of two such different people coming together in a parallel path is slim. Do Cain and Shayla have what it takes to defy the odds? Warning: This pair of books is over-the-top dirty. If you like your romance with possessive alphas who have very bossy mouths, then this book is for you! Susan steps outside her usual romantic suspense genre to try her hand at writing baby-making smut while Becca sticks to what she does best...hot, intense relationships with a bit of drama thrown in for good measure.

From Muhammed to Burj Khalifa: A Crash Course in 2,000 Years of Middle East History


Michael Rank - 2012
    To most Westerners the Middle East and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict appear utterly bewildering. Palestinians want to bomb Israelis that force them at gunpoint to live in restricted parts of the country. Arab leaders are furious about this situation and want Israelis “wiped off the map” and their land given back to Palestinians, even though the real estate of the Holy Land looks something like rural Utah. And nearly all the world’s leaders see fit to chime in on this dispute over the two tiny lands. To untangle the modern Middle East conflict and the 2,000 years behind it, this book is divided into 25 concise chapters. Each one is devoted to a major theme in Middle East history, such as the beginning of Islam, the Crusades, Genghis Khan, and the beginning of Israel in 1948. They can be read in a few minutes, giving you a fast overview of the issues and help you to understand Middle East current events. By the end you will know as much about Middle East history and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as you would after a year-long college course. You will also sound highly knowledgeable about world affairs to your friends and associates. If you want to understand this part of the world completely in as short a time as possible, then "From Muhammed to Burj Khalifa" is for you!
