Book Description
This is a typical enemies-turn-to-lovers romance story between two young men. When Crown Prince Shen Qinghan actually married Lin Jie, a street vendor, countless girls who adored the prince were heartbroken. And the cause of this seemingly absurd event was a promise made by the Emperor when he was young. On the wedding day, the Crown Prince didn't seem happy at all. After all, he did not wish to marry Lin Jie on his own accord. Lin Jie, who was about to become the crown princess, was also confused. He had indeed thought of marrying a rich man in the future, but he had never thought of marrying the current crown prince! Lin Jie wanted to run away from the marriage, but the Crown Prince caught him while he was climbing the wall. Because his shoes were a bit too big, one shoe fell off and hit the Crown Prince in the face... Lin Jie was so scared, sitting still on the wall. “Get off."Shen Qinghan said, showing little emotion. This is awkward. ☆About the Author☆ Ye Dong, one of the best BL/Yaoi writers. Her novels often feature creative storylines and bitter-sweet secret love between main characters.

Book Description
I’m thrilled that my first trip back to my homeland, after years in exile, is for an assignment from the prime minister. Even better, the job's to put Princess Genevieve in her place...by cutting off her cash flow. Spoiled royals—even drop-dead gorgeous ones—don't do anything to deserve their wealth and status. Hell, they don't do anything. She's fighting me tooth and nail, of course. The only way to stop her arguing is, well, to kiss her. And I can't seem to stay away from her. Now, I see a whole different side to the princess—and not just because I've gotten her clothes off. But I was put on this assignment for a reason... There are those outside the castle who want to see the princess discredited and push their own agenda, and I may have just given them all the ammunition they need. Each book in the Sexy Misadventures of Royals series is STANDALONE: * The Princess Problem * Ruling the Princess

Book Description
Glory and Terror is a vivid and often gory history of the darker side of the French Revolution. Through an examination of contemporary visual and literary representations of executions, funerals, processions and ceremonies it brings the often horrific events of the time to life. Honing in on seven real life cases, the author recounts and interprets: * the public autopsy performed on the corpse of Mirabeau * the exhumation and transportation of Voltaire's body to the Pantheon * the public torture, murder and subsequent mutilation of the Princesse de Lamballe * the agonizingly slow death of Robespierre. Anyone who enjoys dazzling cultural history in the vein of Robert Darnton, Carlo Ginzburg and Anthony Grafton will revel in this intelligent and original work.
