The Sheikh Bear


Ashley Hunter - 2015
    white couch adjacent to the windows was certainly not Avani, but a very well dressed man. He was covered in a fine suit of a beautiful shade of cream and burgundy trim. He had an arm over his eyes so Elle couldn’t see his face clearly, but he looked to be at ease. Long legs resting over the white cushions, and his broad chest was moving gently, he looked like he was napping. Elle took in a cautionary breath, uncertain on what to do. Her first instinct was to turn around and leave, cursing herself for not having knocked earlier. To her surprise, Elle wasn’t given an opportunity. “Are you going to just stand there all day or are you going to come here?” The man spoke, not moving an inch aside from speaking. His voice was an attractive baritone with a lilt to his words that reminded Elle of a British accent, yet he rolled his tongue over some of the words pleasantly. Elle was spurred forward, taking a few steps deeper into the suite before she was standing a respectful distance from the couch. Finally, he lifted his arm from his eyes, thick brows arching as he beheld her. “And you are?” “Elle Roberts…?” Elle began, trying not to squirm visibly. “I’m starting as the new secretary for the Sheikh Zayn Ab…Ab…” “Zayn Abd al Malik,” he replied, his tongue rolling over the name with almost lazy precision. “Starting as his secretary and you can’t even say your employer’s name?” Reader Note: This content contains hot sex scenes, adult language, and possible violence. If this isn't the kind of stuff you'd want to read, skip this book. But if you are in for hot romance between a sexy bear and a curvy girl, then you wouldn't want to skip this one.

Pray the Rosary Bead by Bead - Formatted to Mimic Rosary Beads


Mike Hart - 2011
    This Rosary tool has also been consistently in the Amazon top ten best selling books of Prayer since every month since its release; this includes paperback and kindle prayer books. Buy with confidence and may it enhance your opportunity to pray to Our Lady.This is a tool to allow you to use your Kindle to pray the rosary. This version of the rosary is intended to allow for praying the rosary with the turn of each page acting as a rosary bead. It contains all four rosary mysteries Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous. The table of contents will allow you to jump to any of the four mysteries. Given that the Kindle, Nook, and other eBook devices allow thousands of books to be carried within them, it makes sense that the most powerful prayer in the world should also be included. Turning one page for each bead of the rosary makes the device feel and respond like a rosary necklace. Praying the rosary is an art which includes a certain rhythm of changing beads and prayers while in contemplation. Other rosary books either teach the prayers or outline the process but don’t account for the rhythm an art of contemplation that the process itself supports. This version allows that process to be integrated into the book itself; no beads required. While I personally love rosary beads, I don’t always have them available. I also like having the precise bible scriptures associated with each Mystery integrated into the process itself; it allows a more detailed focus by reading the actual living word of God without losing rhythm. While I personally know what the mysteries are about and what each decade story is, it adds a bit of opportunity to read in detail the bible passages of each mystery while not breaking stride with the prayer process. And, if there is ever a moment of distraction by events around me, I never lose my exact spot in praying the rosary.I pray that this book enhances opportunity for you to pray the rosary on many occasions when otherwise you may not have, and I hope it enhances your prayers on a regular basis through deeper connection with the scriptures which are the living word of God. The following updates were made based on user recommendations:VERSION UPDATED JULY 22, 2012 - Changed the table of contents to show the correct day for Luminous Mysteries to be prayed 'Thursday', updated the Glory Be prayer to be included after the first 3 Hail Mary's at the opening of each Mystery, Updated the Glory Be to be worded more technically correct.VERSION UPDATED DECEMBER 11, 2011 - Changed language of Apostle's Creed to match Catholic Church New Translation, fixed misspelled word "beech" to read "beseech", fixed missing bible verse for Mysteries "crowning with thorns" and "coronation of mary".

But trying to mislead Xander Bradford is pretty much pointless.

The stories of Xander’s romantic life are as legendary as his rise in the medical field. Pick any gorgeous celebrity—actress, model, singer—and he’s pretty much guaranteed to have bedded her, the proof splashed across every page of the tabloids. Meanwhile, I’m a total romantic novice. I had no time for guys while I was concentrating so hard on my education. Of course, that was before I got kicked out of med school, the one thing I was ever any good at… Apparently I haven’t learned my lesson, because now I’ve messed up again, and Xander has caught me. Little do I know that his way of dealing with my untruth will be to slowly torment me with his charisma, his charm, his ability to make me scream his name in bed. He will teach me everything about my body, and destroy everything I thought I knew about my mind and soul. Because as it turns out, the ultimate punishment for my crimes might just be losing Xander Bradford forever…

Dragon's Envoy


James Haddock - 2022
    But this is no bard’s song. All of this was because of the dragon stone necklace I scavenged from that dead mage. I knew it was magic when I saw it. Well, it was and it wasn’t. Dragon stone they call it, but what it actually is, is a dragon’s egg. When I touched it, I felt the need to put it around my neck for safekeeping. When I did, the necklace embedded itself inside my skin, making me the new dragon’s envoy. It has since been my duty to protect the egg until she’s ready to hatch. How do I know the egg is a she? Easy, she talks to me and is helping me to bring out my natural magic talents. Sometimes I’d rather it was a bard’s song, as it can be tiring. Although I must admit, having a dragon inside you comes in handy when people are trying to kill you.
