Kiss of Steel by Bec McMaster Pdf

"Heart-wrenching, redemptive and stirringly passionate... A series opener to be read and savored."—RT Book reviews, 4 1⁄2 stars. First in a thrilling steampunk paranormal romance series, Honoria Todd is being hunted by a vicious blue-blood, and her only chance of survival lies with the notorious master of the rookeries in Whitechapel. But at what price? Her blood? Or something more? Most people avoid the dreaded Whitechapel district. For Honoria, it's the last safe haven as she hides from the Blue Blood aristocracy that rules London through power and fear. Blade rules the rookeries—no one dares cross him. It's been said he faced down the Echelon's army single handedly, that ever since being infected by the blood-craving he's been quicker, stronger, and almost immortal. When Honoria shows up at his door, his tenuous control comes close to snapping. She's so...innocent. He doesn't see her backbone of steel—or that she could be the very salvation he's been seeking.

The Kiss by Danielle Steel Pdf

In her 53rd bestselling novel, Danielle Steel explores how a single shattering moment can change lives forever. The Kiss is at once a moving testament to the fragility of life and a breathtaking story about the power of love to heal, to free, to transform, and to make broken spirits whole. On a warm June evening, a red double-decker bus, full of pasengers, speeds down a London street. A few blocks away, a man and a woman climb into a limousine, reveling in a magical evening of dancing and champagne. As their driver pulls into an intersection, the couple shares their first, searching kiss. For a moment, etched in time, all stands still—until, in a flash of metal and glass, their limousine is struck at full speed, crushed under the bus's tremendous weight. And a long journey begins—toward healing, toward hope, toward dreams of an infinite future... Isabelle Forrester is the exquisite wife of a prominent Parisian banker who has long since shut her out of his heart. For lonely years, Isabelle has lived a life of isolation, pouring her passions into caring for her desperately ill son, Teddy, and into making their Paris home as happy as possible for her teenage daughter, Sophie. Isabelle allows herself one secret pleasure: a long-distance friendship by telephone with an American man, a Washington power broker who travels in the highest circles of politics and who, like Isabelle, is trapped in an empty marriage. To Bill Robinson, Isabelle is a godsend, a woman of extraordinary beauty and intellectual curiosity—a kindred spirit who touches him across the miles with her warmth and gentle empathy. Their relationship is a gift, a lifeline that sustains them both through the heartache of marriages they cannot leave and will not betray. Agreeing to meet for a few precious, innocent days in London, Isabelle and Bill find their friendship changing. Then, amidst the sudden crash of steel against steel, they are thrust onto a new path, a path fraught with pain but also with possibility. Now, inside the cool, sterile wards of a London hospital, Isabelle and Bill cling to life, their bodies shattered almost beyond repair. In the days and weeks that follow, they slowly, painfully traverse a road to recovery littered with challenges of the body, spirit, and heart. Together, they must find the strength not only to embrace life again but to face what they have left behind. For Isabell, a loveless marriage turns into a brutal power struggle. For Bill, a time of healing exposes wounds that cut deeper than steel and realities that will test him to his core. For both, a tangle of changing relationships and the tragedy of another loss conspire to separate them once again. And this time they could lose each other forever. In a novel that is as compelling as it is compassionate, Danielle Steel weaves a story of courage in the face of unimaginable loss. With the grace of a master storyteller, she explores the strength it takes to conquer our greatest fears, showing us how the toughest choices can yield the most unexpected rewards...and how the longest, most winding journeys can begin with a single kiss.

Stories of Dreaded Serial Killers by Hseham Amrahs Pdf

In every round, crime can be seen running parallel to society in every way. As the saying goes, sometimes the culprit is present in the house itself. This is also true. Along with the good, evil has always existed on earth since the beginning of time. Evil is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of wrongdoings, such as lying, stealing, various types of crime, murder, rape, corruption, and so on. Why does a person become a criminal? People interpret this question differently, but it is almost impossible to give a solid reason. Many people say that the environment of the house or society is responsible for this. Many people blame poverty. Many people blame illiteracy. But it has been seen that all kinds of people, poor or rich, educated or uneducated, have been found involved in crime. Seeing this, it can be said that the reasons given by the experts may or may not be responsible for this. But after reading these stories, it can be decided that bad deeds have bad consequences. It is best to avoid them. The book presents the heart-wrenching true stories of some of the world's most heinous serial killers and their crimes.

Softer Than Steel by Jessica Topper Pdf

From the author of Louder Than Love comes a story that proves you have to find yourself before you can find love... As rock star “Riff Rotten”, Rick Rottenberg has enjoyed all the perks that fame can offer, especially now that he’s reunited with his former band mate, Adrian “Digger” Graves. But despite his success, Rick is a mess. Still reeling from the death of his wife years ago and terrified his demons will end his career, he agrees to seek help for his anxiety. The last place he expects to find sanctuary is in a yoga studio - especially one that he discovers was a former Jewish synagogue on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Burned by a musician in the past, Sidra Sullivan has closed her heart to love. So when Rick walks into her yoga studio, she wants nothing to do with him – until the hard rocker shows an unexpected soft side. As Sidra and Rick work through their painful pasts, they realize just how strongly opposites can attract. Rick begins to re-awaken parts of his Jewish faith he thought long buried, and Sidra comes to terms with family dynamics out of her control. But when a crisis threatens the delicate balance they’ve forged, they’ll discover if their connection is strong enough to weather another storm or just too broken to survive…
