DOWNLOAD EBOOKElijah Grant was built tough, not only by the Navy SEAL Alliance, but by his mean-spirited father. When he got word of his father's passing, he dreaded making the trip from his now home in Miami, Florida, to the island of Molokai, Hawaii. What others would view as a paradise, Elijah viewed as a personal hell, surrounded only by bad memories. When Elijah arrived on the island, much of the place hadn't changed, with the exception of Taylor Madden. His fallen brother from the SEALS, and childhood best friend's younger sister had blossomed into a beautiful young woman, one that Elijah immediately sought after to make his time on the island more tolerable. Taylor Grant had the perfect family, a loving father, a protective older brother that she looked up to, but suddenly she found herself pulled from her busy life in New York, and dropped back on the small island in Hawaii where she grew up, in the same house, but without either of the men in her life. The struggle to overcome the guilt of her father's passing, and the desire to learn details about how her brother had fallen while serving their country overwhelmed her with grief. When a familiar face, Elijah Grant appeared on the island, she thought he could give her the answers she was looking for, but he ended up giving her much more than she ever expected.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom precious jade articles to monumental stone arches, Huizhou salt merchants in Jiangnan lived surrounded by objects in eighteenth-century China. How and why did these businessmen devote themselves to these items? What can we learn about eighteenth-century China by examining the relationship between merchants and objects? Luxurious Networks examines Huizhou salt merchants in the material world of High Qing China to reveal a dynamic interaction between people and objects. The Qianlong emperor purposely used objects to expand his influence in economic and cultural fields. Thanks to their broad networks, outstanding managerial skills, and abundant financial resources, these salt merchants were ideal agents for selecting and producing objects for imperial use. In contrast to the typical caricature of merchants as mimics of the literati, these wealthy businessmen became respected individuals who played a crucial role in the political, economic, social, and cultural world of eighteenth-century China. Their life experiences illustrate the dynamic relationship between the Manchu and Han, central and local, and humans and objects in Chinese history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“A sexy dark romance that is deliciously twisted!” - Laura Thalassa, bestselling author of The Four Horsemen series. I never wanted a mate. Until I was put in chains. Strapped down. And claimed. I always believed I could analyze any situation until I found a solution. Solve any problem if I just applied my brain. I went to university, studied science and told myself my academic cocoon would protect me from the alphas dominating our society. I was wrong. No textbook prepared me for my meeting with test subject 351. The biggest, scariest alpha on death row, hauled into my lab to uncover how to control the beast of a man. How to make him submit. Mold him into a weapon. But there is no controlling the feral alpha, and no logic strong enough to save my mind once he unleashes his fury on my body. Once he claims me. Obsession is the first book in Nora Ash’s second suspense-filled Omegaverse serial, Feral. Please note: This series gets dark, and it gets dirty. If you don’t enjoy your romance scorching and your alphas rough & dominant, give this book a pass.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Seventh Seal is probably Bergman's best-known work and the film that most clearly bears the director's unmistakeable signature. The opening scene sets the tone: a stony beach under a leaden sky, the knight alone with his thoughts, then the approach of black-clad Death, whom the knight invites to play a game of chess. Bergman's medieval allegory of faith and doubt is dark with the horrors of witch-burnings and the plague. But it is also shot through with bright flashes of peace and joy, symbolised in the milk and wild strawberries offered to the knight by an innocent family of actors. In his compelling appreciation, Melvyn Bragg describes his own first encounter as a student with this extraordinary film, and how it revealed to him another cinema, quite different from the Hollywood he had grown up with. He recounts too his later meeting with Bergman himself, and how the marks of the director's powerful personality are everywhere in this troubling and inspiring masterpiece.
