The Halloween party at the bar promises to be a lot of fun, especially when the hot as sin man in the devil costume catches this curvy angel's eye.

He thinks I'm supposed to have his babies and break his curse. I don't believe in demons or fated mates, but he's too tempting to resist. And he wants to start on those babies immediately. Author Confession: This demon is well endowed with a generous...um...spirit and offers a tasty alternative to the heroine's usual drink of choice. Happy Halloween.

A young naval officer comes to grips with his feelings about racism, and struggles to resolve the conflict between the needs of his family, and his career. Based upon real events, it is clear that race problems in the US Navy were unresolved in the mid-1970's.Lieutenant (junior grade) Mitch Payne reports to the USS Scarslund, a Navy destroyer long past its prime, ready to work hard and restart his stalled career. He has to navigate treacherous wardroom politics, even as building racial tensions on the ship deteriorate.Everything comes to a head when all of the black sailors stage a massed disobedience of orders which hazards the ship. Payne, as the ship's legal officer, is then drawn into the Navy's prosecution of the ringleaders. The Navy's ham-fisted efforts to expunge traces of its discriminatory past, very similar to the discredited critical race theory of today, are also described in acid detail.

Na minha busca por compreender o amor, percebo que, às vezes, o excesso de adornos pode obscurecer o sentimento genuíno. Por isso, peço ao tempo que me permita retornar aos dias passados, onde a beleza lírica era suficiente, sem alterar o curso da minha história.Evoco os deuses antigos para reviver os outonos em Grammaria, momentos em que lutei, amei e sofri. Foram dias de batalhas e noites de glórias, marcados pela cruel mão do destino, um tempo impiedoso que avança sem clemência.Esse tempo, implacável e indiferente, desafia nossas esperanças e anseios, sem reconhecer os próprios adornos de sua caprichosa existência. Ele não para, não muda e não sente.Embora tudo se dissipe como a névoa da primavera, desejei manter meu coração jovem ao frio, contido, como uma fera ferida a ser domada. No entanto, rapidamente aprendi que ele era indomável, um corcel galopando em busca de novos horizontes, além das convenções.Meu coração sempre foi livre, habitando as margens do meu ser e desafiando a sorte. Sob o olhar crítico do tempo, expus-me ao palco da vida, enfrentando as normas e a visão antiquada de um amor imposto.Mantive-me firme como um menestrel, martelando as incertezas em um mundo indiferente, enquanto tudo à minha volta definhava.A vida, no entanto, me conduziu por caminhos inesperados, e agora busco entender como navegar pelos decretos do amor que antes me eram estranhos. Como narrar essa história intrincada, se nem eu mesma consigo compreendê-la?Abandonei meu conforto e mergulhei numa paixão tempestuosa, que ardia no peito como o sopro de um dragão, intenso e avassalador. Nesse turbilhão, encontrei alguém que transformou minha vida.Esse alguém era um enigma, capaz de despertar em mim tanto prazer quanto dor. Nosso amor, tão profundo, abalava o chão sob nossos pés. Por um tempo, pensei que havíamos encontrado uma forma de escapar das regras que nos aprisionavam, acreditando que poderíamos permanecer juntos para sempre. Mas a realidade se impôs: famílias e tradições se ergueram contra nós, separando-nos.Foi como se o mundo tivesse sido virado de cabeça para baixo. Ele desapareceu sem despedidas, e eu fiquei, tentando juntar os pedaços do que restou.Temo que essa história possa se repetir, mas reconheço que o que vivemos me fortaleceu para enfrentar o futuro. Agora, sigo meu caminho, carregando a sensação de que ele observa de longe, entendendo que preciso trilhar essa jornada sozinha para descobrir quem sou de fato.Nossa história, repleta de altos e baixos, é tão genuína quanto a vida sem adornos. Tivemos momentos gloriosos e outros desafiadores, mas o amor sempre persiste como Sol no dia de chuva.Apesar de tudo, de algum modo, permanecemos conectados, como se o que vivemos transcendesse o tempo e o espaço. Assim, nossa história de amor ensinou-me lições valiosas sobre a vida. Após todas as provações, aprendi a amar verdadeiramente, e isso, por si só, fez tudo valer a pena.

Try a small taste of three paranormal series featuring different creatures of the night. Ghost hunters, vampires, and gargoyles, all with their stories to tell. Each of them hoping to somehow find their other half in the strange world they live in.Ghost Hunted: Proving ghosts are real is something Jason Thomas had always dreamed of. Visiting the haunted places, he'd been obsessed with since he was a kid, and playing amateur ghost hunters with his best friend Wade, is a passion that's only grown. As the years passed, Jason's fascination with ghosts was too big to contain, and he'd drag Wade along to different haunted houses or hotels, always hoping to see an actual ghost.Wade Rivers has always loved spending time with Jason, even if it meant he'd have to endure another creepy, supposedly haunted location. Before he knew it, Wade's feelings for Jason deepened from friendship into something more. Unfortunately, so did his fear of the places Jason wanted to explore.The chance to spend a weekend alone in a famous haunted house was too much for Jason to resist, and almost too much for Wade to endure. He knew going to the deserted house was everything Jason had ever dreamed of, so Wade tried to put his fears aside. But when strange things start to happen, admitting to Jason how he feels suddenly isn't the scariest thing Wade will encounter.A friends to lovers, paranormal romantic thriller. Burning Addiction: His days are spent doing odd jobs for cash to pay for his habit. One night, he overdoses and nearly dies. Doctor Lucas Martel works nightshift in the emergency room at Eureka Hospital. He's reclusive and brilliant at his job, and he's all too aware that not everything in Eureka is as it seems. He's also a vampire, one who chooses to blend in with humans rather than feed on them. Something strange is happening to the homeless and addicts on the streets of Eureka; many have gone missing or ended up dead, and others have overdosed on drugs so strong, no human cure can counteract them. Not normally concerned with human tragedies, the vampires can't stand back and let this play out, or they risk exposing their world to the humans. Brennan must face his demons, and Lucas will discover many things about himself, and what he believes to be true: a seedy underground of rogue vampires and drugs that must be stopped, at any cost. *Warning: contains references to drug use and abuse. Stone Under Skin: Ankit has lived many lifetimes. Once, long ago, he was made of stone, and marked with symbols and sigils meant to safeguard him and allow him to protect and serve others. He's a living gargoyle now, cursed to live as a human; always watching, at all times aware, and constantly searching for his fated one.While walking home from his job as a librarian, Ethan Lewis is beaten and robbed. Ankit stumbles upon him, and instantly recognizes him as the man he's fated to. He helps him back to his apartment, and after tending his injuries, watches over him.Fate has woven their lives together for centuries, but in every lifetime, they could never live freely, or love each other as Ankit has often dreamed of. To change their destiny, they'll fight together with other gargoyles, and a young watcher, who is unaware of the tremendous power she possesses. This will be the last battle against their creator, and they'll either die fighting for their freedom, or survive to live the life they've always yearned for.

A Porca é a continuação de A Planta Carnívora, romance que faz parte da série de ficção de José Leon Machado iniciada com O Cavaleiro da Torre Inclinada, cujo cenário é a vida académica. Nesta terceira parte, Marco Túlio Ferreira cimenta a sua relação amorosa com a Rafaela, uma ex-freira. No entanto, por causa das suas muitas viagens e compromissos, acaba por se envolver com outras mulheres, quer suas conhecidas, quer novas caras com que tropeça em congressos, sessões de fisioterapia e outros eventos. Uma porca, porém, intromete-se nesta aventura, perfilando-se para vir a ser a causa de uma mudança radical no D. Juan da academia portuguesa.

O Cavaleiro da Torre Inclinada, com o subtítulo de "Cenas da Vida Académica", conta as aventuras de um professor a trabalhar numa hipotética universidade portuguesa. Os académicos são, como ele próprio refere, os novos cavaleiros da era moderna. Assim como os cavaleiros da Idade Média, paladinos da virtude, andavam de terra em terra castigando pelo fio da espada os vilões e os arrogantes, assim nós, paladinos da ciência, andamos de congresso em congresso divulgando o conhecimento e denunciando os charlatães, diz ele a um dos seus colegas. O professor, especialista na história do adultério, vai implementando na sua vida de novo cavaleiro andante os conhecimentos adquiridos. O relacionamento que mantém com colegas espanholas, belgas e brasileiras leva, de uma forma profícua e salutar, ao intercâmbio do saber e ao avanço da ciência. Escrito num tom divertido, mas bastante realista, O Cavaleiro da Torre Inclinada é um romance que retrata a universidade portuguesa, ou pelo menos uma parte dela, e denuncia a praxis de tradição medieval e inquisitorial que faz dela uma das mais retrógradas da Europa.

Nel Neumeister and Ray Simons would spend the rest of their lives wondering if they accidentally killed their childhood friend's father while joyriding in a stolen boat, a secret that was kept from her for over five decades.
