Book Description
"Don't scold me, Livy—let me pay my due homage to your worth; let me honor you above all women; let me love you with a love that knows no doubt, no question—for you are my world, my life, my pride, my all of earth that is worth the having." These are the words of Samuel Clemens in love. Playful and reverential, jubilant and despondent, they are filled with tributes to his fiancée Olivia Langdon and with promises faithfully kept during a thirty-four-year marriage. The 188 superbly edited letters gathered here show Samuel Clemens having few idle moments in 1869. When he was not relentlessly "banged about from town to town" on the lecture circuit or busily revising The Innocents Abroad, the book that would make his reputation, he was writing impassioned letters to Olivia. These letters, the longest he ever wrote, make up the bulk of his correspondence for the year and are filled with his acute wit and dazzling language. This latest volume of Mark Twain's Letters captures Clemens on the verge of becoming the celebrity and family man he craved to be. This volume has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities and by a major donation to the Friends of The Bancroft Library from the Pareto Fund.

Book Description
The only thing deadlier than hate is forbidden love. Nickel —“It’s been five years, man.” “I know.” Love wasn’t the problem. Hate was. Some grudges couldn’t be killed, and some memories wouldn’t stay dead. The divide between the Rebel Souls and the Destroyers was more than just a simple biker feud. They used to be our brothers. Our friends. An act of betrayal, and a legacy of revenge made our clubs bitter enemies. I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with Rachel, the Rebel Souls’ bartender. And I certainly wasn’t supposed to use her to spy on our former club. But I did. On both counts. Then I pushed her away. It was for her safety, for her future, and for my club, thinking the sacrifice was worth the pain of losing her. That she’d be better off without me in her life. Rachel “What kind of biker wears glasses?” —“The kind who can’t see well without them.” I should have hated him, but I couldn’t. Our nights were filled with passion, our love hidden from the world under the cloak of darkness. He was a criminal. I should have called the police when we first met. But there was more to this unusual outlaw than he let anyone see, and I intended to find out every secret that lurked behind his unassuming facade. I spied for him. I lied for him. I cried for him. Five years wasn’t enough to kill our love. But coming back to restore it might kill us both. Restore the Night is a Destroyers MC (Motorcycle Club) romance novel of forbidden love, betrayal, enemies, lovers, and second chances
