In Edward's service, Drake finds himself in Scotland as a major player in the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle. In a moment of pure luck, he saves the king from great injury and in thanks, Edward gifts Drake with an heiress for a wife. But it is not the happy circumstance most men would see it as. Drake, a confirmed bachelor, cannot refuse the gift of a wife and is therefore forced to wed Lady Elisaveta du Reims, daughter of the last Earl of East Anglia. Beautiful and intelligent, Elisaveta is English by birth, yet of Scots and French blood, making her very much an enemy of England during these turbulent times. Although Drake is polite to her, he does not trust her. He does not want her. However, he cannot resist the feelings she stirs within him but his instincts tell him to beware. His instincts are correct; Elisaveta is not as she seems. Her heart belongs to France and to Scotland, but with the introduction of a new husband, her loyalties are torn. She, too, cannot resist the feelings the powerful young knight stirs within her. Join Drake and Elisaveta on this unforgettable and passionate adventure.

The Sci-Fi Book That Predicted Trump! "Wonderfully imaginative, clever, and funny." - Publishers Weekly What would Barret Trufflehard do? Not a great dilemma goes by without Milton Grainjar putting himself in the shoes of his childhood hero. Milton has followed in the footsteps of a patriotic icon and become of all things, an enumerator. This, as it turns out, means knocking on the doors of apathetic denizens and routinely requesting a moment of their time to conduct a survey. And the best part of the job, he's told upon hire, it offers plenty of overtime. Only, this was not how he had imagined saving the world - a world where money expires, the dominant religion revolves around a corporeal deity, and every denizen is a consumer of a monopoly called the Ekonomy. The media warns of the Jade Association, whose revolutionary doctrines endanger the Ekonomy and its subsidized institutions. Milton's objective is to track down the illegal conspirators and enumerate them. And he does, navigating from one enumeration to the next, dodging death rays and bureaucratic landmines to the best of his abilities, answering a call of duty without special privileges but with life purpose - a purpose he begins wondering if he could ever fulfill without losing it completely. Latency Paradox of Barret Trufflehard is an atomic thrill ride on a prophetic whirligig of self-discovery, reveling in the commercialization of culture and politics, and its ironic effects on time... reality... existence... and the blinding pursuit of meeting institutionalized standards.

History teacher Raine Carson suddenly finds herself running for her life through the grassy hills of 1555 Scotland from a band of angry and murderous brigands when only that very morning she had awoken in her own bed in the modern day world. She should never have agreed to participate in her colleague's experiment when he told her about the strange outcrop of stones that he had discovered hidden in the midst of the Colorado mountains. Suddenly the powers of the universe began to swirl around her as she was sucked through time and deposited in the lap of ancient history. Luckily Leith MacGregor, Laird of Hell's Gate, offers his protection against the marauders but only because he mistakes her for his betrothed, a woman he had yet to lay eyes upon. Unwilling to believe the exotic explanation of having traveled through time from the future, Leith's curiosity is, however, piqued about the stones responsible for her strange arrival. With the help of the local priest who also doubles as the town astronomer, the three embark on an adventure to find the stones and unlock the mystery and power they hold. Raine's urgency and determination to return to her modern world is shaken by her growing feelings for the Scottish Laird who offers to share his world with her. She must decide between returning alone to her home she so desperately misses or accept the offer of a new home and a new life in the ancient highlands with the man who has stolen her heart.

The Holocaust was the systematic murder of six million European Jews by Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party. The horrors of the Holocaust have documented been many times. Even those that were not killed, mutilated, or starved in concentration camps were stripped of their citizenship and their identities. The Nazis did not stop there, though. Hitler, in his quest to build an empire, planned and executed the most extensive theft of art and cultural treasures in history.A group of art historians, museum curators, scholars, and others with an expertise in art accepted the enormous responsibility of traveling to the front lines of World War II in an effort to protect art before it could be stolen or recover the art that fell into the hands of the Nazis. Even more lent their expertise when the fighting ended, remaining in Europe for years after the war was over. They were called "Venus fixers" by the troops but have since come to be known as the Monuments Men. Acting on orders from General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who had the backing of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, many of the Monuments Men - and women - put their lives on the line for art. By doing so, they preserved not just paintings, sculptures, and tapestries, but a significant portion of the culture that makes life worth living. As Mikhail Piotrovsky, the director of the State Hermitage Museum in Russia, said, "Art belongs to humanity. Art is what makes us human."This book dives into the fascinating history of one of the greatest treasure hunts of all time!HistoryCaps is an imprint of BookCaps Study Guides.
