Wickedly sinful, the Earl of Sussex, is an unrepentant rake. The Wicked Earls' Club is the perfect place for a man of his station to indulge. That is until his parents force a match that threatens to rob him of his freedom. Unwilling to be tamed, he travels to meet his bride and demand she put a stop to this farce. Except Lady Tabitha is nothing he expected, and everything he never knew he wanted. Too bad this fiery wallflower is equally bent on ending their engagement. Lady Tabitha, daughter of a duke, will not be betrothed to a rake no matter what her father thinks of his social connections. As long as she doesn't stare into the depths of his green eyes, or linger on the strong lines of his jaw, she should be able to scheme her way out of this engagement. That is, if her intended groom would just cooperate with her plans. This is the first book in the Wicked Lords of London Series. My Duke's Seduction, My Duke's Deception, and My Earl's Entrapment are the next three books. Also coming are My Duke's Desire and The Earl of Dryden. #Historical #Romance #Victorian #Regency

In the opulent realm of Regency England, Lord Brian Kennington, the Fifth Earl of Connlee, reigns as a maestro of persuasion, his every word a seductive melody. Yet, when fate intertwines his path with the intriguing Lady Minerva Fox, whose propriety veils a yearning for excitement, his artful intentions take center stage. Determined to infuse her life with thrills, he orchestrates a dance of adventure and passion, embracing his moniker—the Earl of Persuasion—wholeheartedly. However, amidst the whirlwind of their exhilarating escapades, an unexpected crescendo emerges: the haunting strains of love's melody, playing a tune both exhilarating and perilous. As Minerva is swept away on a current of enchantment, and Brian's mastery of persuasion falters under the weight of burgeoning emotions, they find themselves at a crossroads. The allure of uncharted romance clashes with the pragmatism of their arrangement, raising the ultimate question: Can an artful seducer evolve into a tenderhearted lover, or will their enthralling pas de deux dissolve into the echoes of what could have been? In the symphony of their desires, the Earl of Persuasion faces his greatest challenge yet—taming his own heart.

What a girl wants… Miss Viola Darling always gets what she wants. Always. And what she wants more than anything is to marry James Kilbrenner, the Earl of Tannenbrook. She’s fallen hard for the giant, taciturn, surly brute, and she positively will have no other. The problem? He’s not interested. Not even a little. But Viola cannot afford to lose. And she has her heart set on James. If only he will bend to a bit of persuasion. Is an earl like no other… James Kilbrenner knows how determined the entirely-too-beautiful Miss Darling can be—the daft woman cornered him at a perfectly respectable dinner and mangled his cravat before he could escape. He has no desire to marry, less desire to be pursued, and will certainly not kiss her kissable lips until they are both breathless, no matter how tempted he may be. And only the right one will do… Thrown in her path by a meddling marchioness, James finds himself under sensual siege from a tiny, flirtatious sprite who puts both his heart and his vow to remain unwed at risk. And when scandal looms, he learns the hard way that a man can resist only so long before the indomitable Miss Darling gets her way.

Compiled by scholars at the court of Liu An, king of Huainan, in the second century B.C.E, The Huainanzi is a tightly organized, sophisticated articulation of Western Han philosophy and statecraft. Outlining "all that a modern monarch needs to know," the text emphasizes rigorous self-cultivation and mental discipline, brilliantly synthesizing for readers past and present the full spectrum of early Chinese thought. The Huainanzi locates the key to successful rule in a balance of broad knowledge, diligent application, and the penetrating wisdom of a sage. It is a unique and creative synthesis of Daoist classics, such as the Laozi and the Zhuangzi; works associated with the Confucian tradition, such as the Changes, the Odes, and the Documents; and a wide range of other foundational philosophical and literary texts from the Mozi to the Hanfeizi. The product of twelve years of scholarship, this remarkable translation preserves The Huainanzi's special rhetorical features, such as parallel prose and verse, and showcases a compositional technique that conveys the work's powerful philosophical appeal. This path-breaking volume will have a transformative impact on the field of early Chinese intellectual history and will be of great interest to scholars and students alike.
