Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
Elizabeth: An Old Man’s Heart is a novel of intrigue and romance. It’s the type of novel that we can identify with. It transcends the story told by an old man to a detective, in which he says goodbye to adolescence, and of course, to the myth that symbolized the love he found in his youth. It was a time when reason became a puppet of destiny, induced by emotion. The story revolves around Richard Keith, Elizabeth, and Alejandra. Richard, the main character in this story, falls in love with Elizabeth, whose beauty leaves him speechless and turns his heart into a runaway locomotive. Because that’s what happens when we fall in love: we feel like our world turns topsy-turvy. Elizabeth is the pinnacle of beauty for Richard Keith. He started to love her as a boy and always noticed her during recess. One day he gathered up his courage and wrote his first letter to her. Elizabeth, innocent in her thoughts, didn’t know what love was and she tore up the letter. Even so, the brave boy insisted until the day when she didn’t tear his letters up. However, she never replied. One day, he grew tired and stopped sending them. After a year, Elizabeth started to miss the beautiful words that Richard Keith wrote to her. In junior high Elizabeth loved him, but he wasn’t as brave as he had been as a child, though his love hadn’t changed. His self-esteem had taken a severe blow when he lost strength in his legs and started walking with a pronounced limp. Find out what happens between Richard Keith and Elizabeth, and what role Alejandra plays in their lives. What will happen when he wants to fix the past? Who will die, and who will live to tell about it? Poetic thoughts aren’t born with us, they’re provoked by destiny, which at the same time plays with our minds. The game of love is a passion that drives us crazy and hypnotizes the soul. Destiny seeks its own muse to go crazy and grow old with, but at the same time, it gives us the opportunity to know and ex

**As seen on Netflix’s High on the Hog** **2019 James Beard Foundation Book Award Nominee** "Black Girl Baking has a rhythm and a realness to it." - Carla Hall, Chef and television personality Invigorating and Creative Recipes to Ignite Your Senses For Jerrelle Guy, food has always been what has shaped her—her body, her character, her experiences and her palate. Growing up as the sensitive, slightly awkward child of three in a race-conscious space, she decided early on that she’d rather spend her time eating cookies and honey buns than taking on the weight of worldly issues.

Orange Peel Pound Cake brings back memories of summer days eating Florida oranges at Big Ma’s house, Rosketti cookies reimagine the treats her mother ate growing up in Guam, and Plaited Dukkah Bread parallels the braids worked into her hair as a child. Jerrelle leads you on a sensual baking journey using the five senses, retelling and reinventing food memories while using ingredients that make her feel more in control and more connected to the world and the person she has become. Whole flours, less refined sugar and vegan alternatives make it easier to celebrate those sweet moments that made her who she is today. Escape everyday life and get lost in the aromas, sounds, sights, textures and tastes of Black Girl Baking.

Languages : en
Pages : 790
Book Description
Lauren Layne, the bestselling author of Blurred Lines, has been called “a fresh new voice in the New Adult genre” by Jen McLaughlin and “a force to be reckoned with” by Rachel Van Dyken. Discover why her signature blend of heart and humor is making a splash with this must-read ebook bundle, which collects three of her steamy, emotional novels: Isn’t She Lovely, Broken, and Crushed. ISN’T SHE LOVELY Stephanie Kendrick gave up her summer to ace her NYU screenwriting course, so she’s pissed to be stuck with preppy, spoiled Ethan Price as her partner—until a ready-made screenplay idea presents itself. Ethan is desperate to make his snobbish mother forget his ex. While Stephanie’s a stretch as a decoy, what with her piercings and goth wardrobe, the right makeover and a pastel cardigan just might do the trick. But when Stephanie joins the Hamptons crowd, the “acting” begins to feel all too real. And Stephanie faces a question she’s afraid to ask: Is Ethan falling for the real her or for the dolled-up princess he wants to see? BROKEN When Olivia Middleton abandons Park Avenue for a coastal town in Maine to help an injured war veteran reenter society, her client isn’t a grateful elderly man. He’s a brooding twenty-four-year-old who has no intention of being Olivia’s charity project . . . and whose smoldering gaze might be her undoing. A hotshot quarterback before the war, Paul Langdon prefers self-imposed exile, even if he must tolerate the newest caretaker for three months to keep his inheritance. But Olivia makes him long for things he can never have. And the further she slips past his defenses, the harder keeping his distance becomes. CRUSHED A lifelong New Yorker, Michael St. Claire just found out the identity of his real father, a total stranger with a family in Texas. It’s there that Michael meets the exquisitely refined Kristin Bellamy, who’s everything he’s always thought he wants. The only problem is that Kristin’s dating Michael’s new half brother—who just so happens to be the longtime crush of Kristin’s mouthy, curvy, sister, Chloe. When Michael offers to help Chloe break them up, she agrees to a deal that seems too good to be true. But after Chloe finally gets her man, she no longer wants the guy she had to fight for—she wants the one who stood by her side. Praise for Lauren Layne’s Redemption series “Fresh and authentic, Lauren Layne’s Isn’t She Lovely packs intelligence, wit, and an addictive romance into one fantastic read! I loved the bold characters, the slow-building yet steamy romance, and the raw and painful edge of self-discovery. I couldn’t put it down!”—New York Times bestselling author Cora Carmack “Isn’t She Lovely is full of complex characters you want to root for—and a hero that will make you swoon.”—New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy “A solid tale and a quick read, with plenty of steamy romance and sex.”—Library Journal, on Broken “I read Crushed in one sitting because I was utterly unable to put it down. Lauren Layne’s characters are so witty and real. This story warmed my heart and left me feeling good all day. Go, Team Curvy Girls!”—New York Times bestselling author Courtney Cole

Book Description
A violent stalker has a terrified woman in his sights. Camaro Espinoza will make him sorry. Life in Miami isn't complicated for ex-army medic Camaro Espinoza: Piloting charter fishing trips, fighting at the gym, drinking at the bar. Simple doesn't mean stable, though, and two complicating factors -- okay, people -- are about to disrupt Camaro's relative peace. Faith Glazer, an accountant with no way to defend herself, begs Camaro's help to stop a stalker who follows her every move. While Ignacio Montellano, a detective on the homicide beat, wants to be her guardian angel and all too deftly finds ways to insert himself in her path. When Faith's stalker takes his obsession to a new, frightening level, Camaro might find reason to appreciate Montellano after all. The deeper they look, the more trouble they find: federal agents, money-launderers, crooked security contractors, and paramilitary killers. Every one of them with a reason to come after Faith, and to put Camaro down. But Camaro -- the "female Jack Reacher" (The Toronto Star) -- doesn't flinch when violence comes her way. And she has a singular talent for making her enemies sorry they ever heard her name.
