"A charmingly modern twist on a classic love story—loads of fun and all the feels." —Julia London, New York Times bestselling author of Suddenly in Love In this enchanting retelling of the classic Audrey Hepburn film Roman Holiday, a royal prince tries to escape his hectic and rigid life and ends up leading a young graduate student on a chase through the Eternal City. Julia Costa is too busy trying to complete her PhD while also holding down a full-time job as a private tour guide in Rome to keep up with celebrity gossip. So when she crosses paths with a real, actual prince, she mistakes him for a client and takes him on a daylong tour of the city.

He swears to himself that he’ll return to his royal duties after only half a day…but he’s having the time of his life. Until Julia presents him with the bill. Since he snuck out of the hotel without so much as a dime, he tries to escape, only to discover that she won’t let him out of her sight until he can pay her back. She’s determined to get her money…and perhaps more from the handsome stranger she’s fallen for.

Pages : 364
Book Description
“Be strong or be dead.” Such is the motto of Nemesis, Nëphyr and Queen of the New Hell’s Clan. Neither vampires nor werewolves, her kind is something in between, creatures with human appearances but monstrous urges for violence, flesh and blood. She never chose to become a Nëphyr or a Queen. But this is her fate and she has no choice but to accept it. Her already complicated reign becomes even more difficult when intruders infiltrate New Hell and nearly destroy the Reserve, the place where preys are kept. With famine near, the Nëphyr are growing more and more bestial and want bloodshed worthy of the beginning of the Ex Tenebris epoch, when all the Creatures of Darkness revealed themselves to humanity in the most brutal way possible. The only one Nemesis can count on is Nathanael, her lover who would prefer their relationship was more than a casual affair. But a long-lasting relationship isn’t something she can offer with the scars of her past still fresh in her mind and the possibility of a war looming on the horizon. Nemesis must discover who is behind the attack and end this crisis. For if she fails, death will come for everyone, including Nathanael and herself. *Author's note: this book contains sexual situations, strong violence and language. It is not recommanded for readers under 18*

Book Description
In this charming modern day retelling of the 1956 classic Anastasia, a museum curator falls for a mysterious man who may or may not be a long lost heir to Russia’s imperial Romanov dynasty. Finley Abbot is organizing the most prestigious art exhibit of her career at the Louvre museum—a retrospective of art from the House of Romanov. But the sudden appearance of Maxim Romanov threatens to turn her into the biggest laughingstock of the art world. When she finds herself falling in love, she realizes there’s even more at stake than her career. How can she trust a man with her whole world when he can’t remember a thing about his past? After suffering a violent blow to the head, Maxim’s only clue to his identity is a notebook containing carefully researched documentation in his own handwriting indicating that he is the sole surviving descendant of the Grand Duchess Anastasia, previously thought dead in the murder of her family during Russia’s Bolshevik revolution. His struggle to put the mysterious pieces of his past back together leads him to Finley. At first, she’s convinced Maxim is nothing but a con artist. But there’s something undeniably captivating about the beautiful, brooding man who claims to be searching for his identity—something Finley can’t quite bring herself to resist. When he reveals a secret about one of the imperial Fabergé eggs in the collection, she accepts he may actually be telling the truth. But as soon as Finley and Maxim act on their feelings for one another, Maxim is confronted with evidence that calls into question everything he’s begun to believe about himself.

How to Do Things with Dead People
Author: Alice Dailey
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501763679
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
How to Do Things with Dead People studies human contrivances for representing and relating to the dead. Alice Dailey takes as her principal objects of inquiry Shakespeare's English history plays, describing them as reproductive mechanisms by which living replicas of dead historical figures are regenerated in the present and re-killed. Considering the plays in these terms exposes their affinity with a transhistorical array of technologies for producing, reproducing, and interacting with dead things—technologies such as literary doppelgängers, photography, ventriloquist puppetry, X-ray imaging, glitch art, capital punishment machines, and cloning. By situating Shakespeare's historical drama in this intermedial conversation, Dailey challenges conventional assumptions about what constitutes the context of a work of art and contests foundational models of linear temporality that inform long-standing conceptions of historical periodization and teleological order. Working from an eclectic body of theories, pictures, and machines that transcend time and media, Dailey composes a searching exploration of how the living use the dead to think back and look forward, to rule, to love, to wish and create.
