Book Description
Family comes first. Desire second. At least, that's how it's supposed to be... Lucian has better things to do than hunt down a creature who may or may not exist—a siren whose singing voice can heal anything. But with his brother's life depending on his success, he sets out, only to be distracted by a woman whose beauty is enough to stir the desire he'd long ago thought was gone. Unfortunately, courting her is as dangerous as the enemy hunting them down, for Siovon would rip his heart out before allowing him to find her sister. Siovon doesn't trust Lucian, no matter how much his every touch ignites her passion. After being held captive for the last decade, she will do anything it takes to find and protect her sister—including lying to strike a deal with the handsome vampire. If giving up her life means Calysta would be safe, then so be it. However, the more time she spends with Lucian, the harder it becomes to ignore the powerful truemate call binding them together. The line between true love and duty to family becomes blurred in this battle of the hearts, but Siovon and Lucian will learn the hard way that some sacrifice might be worth it in the end. That is, if it doesn't tear them apart first.

Pages : 214
Book Description
Freedom calls for a bit of seduction. Salvator is used to women throwing themselves at him left and right, so it's a mockery to his reputation that the one woman he can't get enough of refuses to have anything to do with him. After suffering weeks of silent brooding, he finally catches a break when Naomi ventures into his club. She wants to pretend their bond doesn't exist, but he can be just as stubborn when it comes to getting what he wants—and what he wants is for her to surrender to him, body and soul. Naomi is on a dangerous mission to discover the truth behind her mother's death, so she can't afford any distractions. By distraction, she means the annoying, too-beautiful-for-his-own-good Salvator Gordano, a vampire whose very existence fills her with both hatred and yearning. She'd rather endure any amount of torture than spend another moment in his presence, but there's no denying the way his gentle caresses and toe-curling kisses threatened to weaken her resolve. Though Sal will do whatever it takes to get Naomi to see that only he could provide her with an eternity of love and devotion, his only hope is that he can win her heart before the darkness of her past claims her for good.

Warrior Pursuits
Author: Brian Sandberg
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 0801899699
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
How did warrior nobles’ practices of violence shape provincial society and the royal state in early seventeenth-century France? Warrior nobles frequently armed themselves for civil war in southern France during the troubled early seventeenth century. These bellicose nobles’ practices of violence shaped provincial society and the royal state in early modern France. The southern French provinces of Guyenne and Languedoc suffered almost continual religious strife and civil conflict between 1598 and 1635, providing an excellent case for investigating the dynamics of early modern civil violence. Warrior Pursuits constructs a cultural history of civil conflict, analyzing in detail how provincial nobles engaged in revolt and civil warfare during this period. Brian Sandberg’s extensive archival research on noble families in these provinces reveals that violence continued to be a way of life for many French nobles, challenging previous scholarship that depicts a progressive “civilizing” of noble culture. Sandberg argues that southern French nobles engaged in warrior pursuits—social and cultural practices of violence designed to raise personal military forces and to wage civil warfare in order to advance various political and religious goals. Close relationships between the profession of arms, the bonds of nobility, and the culture of revolt allowed nobles to regard their violent performances as “heroic gestures” and “beautiful warrior acts.” Warrior nobles represented the key organizers of civil warfare in the early seventeenth century, orchestrating all aspects of the conduct of civil warfare—from recruitment to combat—according to their own understandings of their warrior pursuits. Building on the work of Arlette Jouanna and other historians of the nobility, Sandberg provides new perspectives on noble culture, state development, and civil warfare in early modern France. French historians and scholars of the Reformation and the European Wars of Religion will find Warrior Pursuits engaging and insightful.

Ingenious Pursuits
Author: Lisa Jardine
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0385720017
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
In this fascinating look at the European scientific advances of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, historian Lisa Jardine demonstrates that the pursuit of knowledge occurs not in isolation, but rather in the lively interplay and frequently cutthroat competition between creative minds. The great thinkers of that extraordinary age, including Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, and Christopher Wren, are shown in the context in which they lived and worked. We learn of the correspondences they kept with their equally passionate colleagues and come to understand the unique collaborative climate that fostered virtuoso discoveries in the areas of medicine, astronomy, mathematics, biology, chemistry, botany, geography, and engineering. Ingenious Pursuits brilliantly chronicles the true intellectual revolution that continues to shape our very understanding of ourselves, and of the world around us.
