Book Description
SEBASTIAN is the first book in National Bestselling Author Angelique Armae’s Immortal Valentine series, a spin-off from The Paradisian Chronicles. The Valentine brothers are Hell's sexiest bad boys. They're also Lucifer's most defiant nephews, working for Paradise and protecting mankind. They're half-fallen angel, half-mortal, save for Sebastian who is a triplicate soul. He's one-third vampire. He's also a rebel and fights Hell's dope dealers daily, trying to destroy their lethal narcotics trade, specifically the flow of Crypt Candy on earth. Sophie Gates isn’t your average Criminal Profiler. She’s a Paradisian Scholar—an immortal human trained in the ways of Heaven and Hell. She’s also a member of the archangel Gabriel’s Gothic Garrison. So when a fellow Scholar turns up dead of a supernatural drug overdose, Sophie is called in to investigate the crime. She believes the killer to be a Diabolus Sacratus--a revered demonic drug lord specializing in Crypt Candy, a highly addictive, and sometimes lethal, hallucinogenic distributed among Lucifer’s army. To proceed with her analysis and help track down the murderer, Sophie is forced to work with the sexy-as-sin Sebastian Valentine, a Nephilim vampire with a stake in eNVee Laboratories. As the pharmaceutical company catering to paranormal clientele this side of Heaven and Hell, eNVee Labs is the only company on Earth capable of manufacturing Crypt Candy. Unfortunately, the main component of the drug is a residual substance found in coffins and crypts inhabited by Nephilim vampires. With evidence building against her newly assigned partner, Sophie is quick to make Sebastian Valentine her number one suspect. If only she didn’t find the man as addictive as the drug he’s capable of manufacturing… Born to a fallen angel and a mortal mother, Sebastian Valentine is a prince of Hell. As a defrocked Templar, he escaped execution thanks to a Vampiric relative, and now exists as a Triplicate soul—angel, human and vampire. His hopes of redemption are slim. The only way to save him from eternal damnation is to find the one woman, deemed by fate, to be his life mate. To do so, he’d have to convince her to share his Hellish soul. And that’s one sacrifice, he’s certain, no sane person would dare make. Paying back a debt owed to the archangel Gabriel, Sebastian joins forces with Sophie to hunt down a demonic killer. But to find this unholy criminal, Sebastian will have to reveal secrets of Sophie’s past she’s not aware of, a dark legacy that will put her next on the hit list of the Diabolus Sacratus they’re hunting…

Book Description
Casablanca is one of the most celebrated Hollywood films of all time, its iconic romance enshrined in collective memory across generations. Drawing from archival materials, industry trade journals, and cultural commentary, Barbara Klinger explores the history of Casablanca's circulation in the United States from the early 1940s to the present by examining its exhibition via radio, repertory houses, television, and video. By resituating the film in the dynamically changing industrial, technological, and cultural circumstances that have defined its journey over eight decades, Klinger challenges our understanding of its meaning and reputation as both a Hollywood classic and a cult film. Through this single-film survey, Immortal Films proposes a new approach to the study of film history and aesthetics and, more broadly, to cinema itself as a medium in constant interface with other media as a necessary condition of its own public existence and endurance.

Book Description
After a night of drinking way too much, I wake up in a handsome stranger's bed. Less than an hour later, the stranger walks into my Calculus class and says, "Hi, I'm Professor McCarthy." It's going to be a fun semester... Professor is a standalone story in the Alpha Male U series. It features—you guessed it—a hot alpha male, the student he's determined to claim for his own, instalove, and a HEA! WORD COUNT: 11,000 Excerpt: Belatedly, I wonder if he's one of those creepy professors who prey on students. Selma would have told me if she heard any rumors, but McCarthy could be good at keeping his activities under wraps. "Do you do this a lot?" I blurt out. "Do what? Hang out at local coffee shops? Well, of course. I'm a big believer in supporting small businesses." "You know that's not what I'm asking. Do you hit on a lot of your students?" "I've never been inappropriate with a student. I value professionalism, and that would be wrong." He focuses his blue eyes on me. There's so much heat in his gaze that I feel like it could burn me. "But with you, I can't help wanting to do the wrong thing." I shiver, telling myself that it's because of the cold matcha latte. "Professor — " "Call me Landon." "Landon." His first name feels like a naughty word on my tongue. "You're my professor. I'm your student." "Thank you for stating obvious facts." I glare at him. "I'm stating the obvious because you're acting like you don't understand the obvious." "Go to dinner with me." Oh, for the love of Christ. "Professor — " "I told you to call me Landon." "Whether I call you Landon or Professor, I can't go to dinner with you. Besides, I have to go home and study." "I can help you study." Lust courses through my blood at the idea of a private tutoring session with Landon/Professor McCarthy. Additional keywords: Asian heroine, interracial romance, college romance

Book Description
The Chains of Love are stronger than the Bonds of Revenge Long after the gladiators fought in the Coliseum, ancient evils wander the streets of Rome. Only a few heroes have the power to stop them. Among them, a group of friends whose fate and the gods’ whims have united in immortality. Follow Marcus, Alexander, Samuel, Peter and Raphael as they battle their inner demons and try to save the world and their loved ones at the same time. The Hidden Demon A pariah among paranormals, Peter can touch the dead and read their last thoughts. Once an angel, now a demon, he is only tolerated by most because of his gift. Cursed with the power of influencing every woman or man he touches, Peter has lost any hope to experience true intimacy and companionship. Headstrong and sensual as only werewolves can be, Ophelia is desperately in love with her best friend, Samuel, who is in love with someone else. In the middle of her personal crisis, Rome is taken by storm by the latest archeology discovery, and as a forensic anthropologist, Ophelia is called to shed some light on the remains of a young couple embraced for eternity. Peter is sent to the site to help identify the dead. Amidst Roman villas’ ruins and a mystery that has lasted for two millennia, he meets the striking werewolf, and Ophelia’s exotic beauty and sharp tongue pique his interest immediately. Ophelia, too, is affected by Peter’s magnetism. Despite her heart belonging to someone else, Ophelia feels a pull toward Peter at first sight. An attraction that only grows stronger despite her doubts. Unfortunately, what has started like any other reading for Peter soon becomes a nightmare in which real enemies from several factions want him and Ophelia dead rather than let them discover the truth. Will they survive a manhunt the likes of which Rome has never seen? But most of all, will Peter and Ophelia remain unscathed by the fire of their burning passion?
