| alluring indulgence: Casanova Laurence Bergreen, 2016-11-01 “Sexy, surprising, funny, insightful, and wildly entertaining” (Huffington Post)—the definitive biography of Giacomo Casanova, the impoverished boy who became the famous writer, notorious libertine, and self-invented genius in decadent eighteenth-century Europe. Today, “Casanova” is a synonym for “great lover,” yet the real story of this remarkable figure is little known. A figure straight out of a Henry Fielding novel, Giacomo Casanova was erotic, brilliant, impulsive, and desperate for recognition; a self-destructive genius. Over the course of his lifetime, he claimed to have seduced more than one hundred women, among them married women, young women in convents, girls just barely in their teens, women of high and low birth alike. Abandoned by his mother, an actress and courtesan, Casanova was raised by his illiterate grandmother, coming of age in a Venice filled with spies and political intrigue. He was intellectually curious and read forbidden books, for which he was jailed. He staged a dramatic escape from Venice’s notorious prison, I Piombi, the only person known to have done so. He then fled to France, ingratiated himself at the royal court, and invented the national lottery that still exists to this day. He crisscrossed Europe, landing for a while in St. Petersburg, where he was admitted to the court of Catherine the Great. He corresponded with Voltaire and met Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte—assisting them as they composed the timeless opera Don Giovanni. And he wrote what many consider the greatest memoir of the era, the twelve-volume Story of My Life. Laurence Bergreen’s Casanova recounts this astonishing life in rich, intimate detail, and at the same time, paints a dazzling portrait of eighteenth-century Europe, filled with a cast characters from serving girls to kings and courtiers, “great fun for any history lover” (Kirkus Reviews). |

| alluring indulgence: Going Viral Dahlia Schweitzer, 2018-03-09 Outbreak narratives have proliferated for the past quarter century, and now they have reached epidemic proportions. From 28 Days Later to 24 to The Walking Dead, movies, TV shows, and books are filled with zombie viruses, bioengineered plagues, and disease-ravaged bands of survivors. Even news reports indulge in thrilling scenarios about potential global pandemics like SARS and Ebola. Why have outbreak narratives infected our public discourse, and how have they affected the way Americans view the world? In Going Viral, Dahlia Schweitzer probes outbreak narratives in film, television, and a variety of other media, putting them in conversation with rhetoric from government authorities and news organizations that have capitalized on public fears about our changing world. She identifies three distinct types of outbreak narrative, each corresponding to a specific contemporary anxiety: globalization, terrorism, and the end of civilization. Schweitzer considers how these fears, stoked by both fictional outbreak narratives and official sources, have influenced the ways Americans relate to their neighbors, perceive foreigners, and regard social institutions. Looking at everything from I Am Legend to The X Files to World War Z, this book examines how outbreak narratives both excite and horrify us, conjuring our nightmares while letting us indulge in fantasies about fighting infected Others. Going Viral thus raises provocative questions about the cost of public paranoia and the power brokers who profit from it.

These are the kind of lies used to package up secrets that have the ability to alter the entire foundation of our relationship. This time, I’m not looking for space. I’m not walking away. I want answers, and they’re going to give them to me. What I don’t realize is that getting them may very well set us on another course entirely. Note from the author: The Primal Instincts series was originally released in individual volumes. Chase, Capture, and Claim are the combination of these volumes. The stories are the same. |
| alluring indulgence: Forevermore Nicole Edwards, 2022-07-26 With nine years of marriage behind them and eight years into their polyamorous relationship, Logan, Samantha, and Elijah are about to take their relationship to the next level. Six months ago, in a cabin lit by candlelight, as part of a game Samantha convinced them to play, Elijah kissed Logan, ultimately changing the dynamic of their relationship. They’ve had plenty of time to process what it means, but it isn’t until Sam takes a girls’ trip that Logan makes the first move, deciding it’s time to explore things further. When Logan and Elijah realize that one mind-blowing encounter hadn’t been a one-time-only event, they look to Sam to help guide them through the unknown. *Forevermore is a continuation of Cabin By Candlelight, from Naughty Holidays 2021, voted on by the readers. |
| alluring indulgence: Violet Nicole Edwards, 2024-10-22 Curses. To believe or not to believe… Violet Anderson believed. How could she not when the proof was right in front of her? And her curse … well, it meant that, like her mother and older sisters, she was doomed to spend her life pining for a man who would undervalue her. Not that she would allow that to happen. She’d never met a man worth pining for. Then Simon Jennings walked into her bookstore. Aside from being hot enough to put her brain on the fritz, the man was not her type. He was one of those nice guys—the kind who opened doors and didn’t try to cop a feel during a simple goodnight kiss. Since the curse ensured nice guys would never fall in love with her, Violet knew her best bet was to stay as far from him as she could. Too bad Simon didn’t get the memo. When Simon’s charm proves too powerful to resist, Violet gives in to the undeniable chemistry. After all, it’s not like she would fall in love with a handsome stranger after one night, right? |
| alluring indulgence: Reckless Nicole Edwards, 2015-10-27 He’s a walking contradiction... Cam Strickland, one of the four partners of Pier 70 Marina, has embraced the nickname his friends gave him years ago. Reckless. Sure. By definition. When it comes to fun, Cam hasn’t yet met a challenge he wouldn’t accept. In other areas, he’s likely far too cautious for his own good. He’s his complete opposite... Gannon Burgess, CEO of Burgess Entertainment, one of the top video game producers in the world, finds himself smack in the middle of the last place he would ever expect to be. But Gannon only thinks he is out of his element standing in the small marina office. Then... he meets Cam. Rumor is opposites attract. Sparks fly when this sexy, tattooed bad boy comes face to face with this buttoned-up gamer in glasses. Can Cam and Gannon push one another out of their comfort zones? Or -- thanks to the events that have shaped their lives -- will the time they spend together prove to be just another reckless adventure? This one involving their hearts. |
| alluring indulgence: To Have and To Hold Nicole Edwards, 2024-04-09 The moment everyone’s been waiting for! Brantley Walker and Reese Tavoularis are counting down until their wedding day. With only seven more days to go and plenty to do, they are enjoying some downtime with friends and family while checking off the remaining boxes on JJ’s checklist. While everyone gears up for the big event, Atticus James returns to Coyote Ridge to find he has some decisions to make. Not only does he get to choose which address he wants to call home, but there are two men interested in being more than just roommates. The hardest part is figuring out which one to choose—or whether he needs to choose at all. Provided everyone survives the bachelor party, makes it through the rehearsal dinner unscathed, and works through their wedding day jitters, they’re home-free. |
| alluring indulgence: Bound in Darkness Nicole Edwards, 2020-04-14 Heaven refers to them as Misplaced Halos. Humans don’t even know they exist. Like angels, vampires have been protecting humans from demons while keeping to the shadows, lurking in the darkness. In return, they’ve asked for nothing. Until now. After the heinous slaughter of his father, the Alpha Vampire, Kaj Courtenay finds himself taking on the role of the most powerful vampire in existence. He’s up against traitors out to topple him, demons bent on eliminating the vampire race entirely, and an archangel who has other plans for them. It’s all Kaj can do to maintain his focus, but he knows it would be easier with the female who owns him, heart, body, and soul at his side. Problem is convincing her. Acadia only knows a life of subservience. She has spent fifteen hundred years bound to the Angels of Darkness, her race used as their life source to maintain their existence on Earth. Living out eternity at their mercy is her destiny, beyond her control. It has never been something she questioned. Not until Kaj appeared in her life and gave her something to live for, made her question her very existence. Acadia knows resisting the powerful vampire is futile. He holds her heart. Problem is, it isn’t hers to give. Kaj and Acadia must break the chains that have bound them to their pasts so they can embrace the future and conquer the enormous obstacles and ridiculous odds standing in their way. And for the sake of all, they must do it together. |
| alluring indulgence: Claim Nicole Edwards, 2023-08-28 Volume 7: With each passing day, I am learning new things about myself. I have the men in my life to thank for that. They are giving me the freedom to explore things I’ve only ever fantasized about. In doing so, we are all accepting the complexity of our situation, making compromises, and taking risks. When you fall in love with more than one man, you can be certain that the highs and lows of a normal relationship are multiplied, and they can be overwhelming at times. Now that there are no more secrets between us, there is nothing standing in our way. We are free to move forward. Except there are other forces at play. Someone who knows the right card to play to ensure our happily ever after eludes us. Possibly forever. Volume 8: When you’re determined enough, you can accomplish almost anything. That’s my mantra as I deal with the upheaval my absence has caused. Although they’re slow to accept my apology, the men in my life are coming around. It helps that I want nothing more than to prove to them that I’m no longer a flight risk. I’ll do whatever it takes to ensure they know how much they mean to me. Unfortunately, I’m not the only person fueled by fierce determination. The man out to hurt me to punish those I care about has proven he’s willing to do whatever is necessary to rip apart my life bit by bit. He’s a worthy adversary; I’ll give him that. But no one could’ve predicted his final move—the one that could destroy everything we’ve worked so hard to build. Volume 9: When you give your heart to someone, there’s always the chance it can be broken. When you give your heart to more than one person, the chances are significantly greater. My entire world has erupted in chaos, and the lives of two men I love are in danger. On the outside, I’m holding my head up, but on the inside, I’m curling into a fetal position, wishing someone would hold me so I don’t fall apart. It’s coming. I can feel it. My heart can’t handle the pain of not knowing whether Hawk or Creed will live through the night; it can’t process the fear that Garrison and Nick will meet the same fate. I’m stuck in this horrible void of nothingness as I wait for someone to give me a lifeline to hold onto. I’m starting to think it will never arrive, and I’ll be left to drift off into oblivion. Volume 9 is the last book in the Primal Instincts series. Although they endure some dark times, love wins, and this unconventional love story ends happily ever after. As a bonus, there’s a glimpse of the future for Journey, Creed, Hawk, Garrison, and Nick. |
| alluring indulgence: Off Course Nicole Edwards, 2023-10-24 With wedding plans underway, Brantley Walker and Reese Tavoularis are attempting to strike a balance between work and their personal lives. After a hectic summer, they finally have a moment to catch their breaths. At least until their talented hacker, Jessica James, jinxes them. The next thing they know, they’re in New York City, tracking down one of their own. Amidst rising tensions within the task force, their mission becomes increasingly complex, and perhaps a tad entertaining. But not for everyone. For Reese, bad memories are stirred up, forcing him to face his past. A trip that is relatively straightforward in scope turns out to be anything but. It’s only when they realize they’ve veered off course that Brantley starts to question their true mission. |
| alluring indulgence: Owned Nicole Edwards, 2021-02-23 Have you ever believed you’d one day cross paths with someone who would sweep you off your feet and offer you a life right out of a fairy tale? When you’ve spent your life hiding from monsters, it seems reasonable that you might cling to a magical, fabled romance. I did. I found it was easier to look for the positive, to remain hopeful, and to sometimes imagine a fantasy-worthy life. I’m not sure if I did it for my sanity or to keep my brother’s spirits up. You see, Ransom Bishop is not only my brother, he’s also the one who saved me from a life that would’ve ended badly, and in doing so, he gave up so much. Since the day he stole me away from the monsters when I was nine years old, Ransom has been mother, father, brother, and best friend, watching my back and protecting me from … them. For fifteen years, we thought we were safe and maybe we were. But then my brother helped a friend in need, and everything changed. They found us. Now it’s a matter of life or death, and there’s only one person my brother trusts, one man Ransom is willing to be indebted to in an effort to ensure nothing happens to me. Talon has agreed to take me in. Under one condition: Ransom has to relocate with me, and he has to fake our deaths. Again. Little do I know, but Talon is going to change my perception, my ideals, and yes, he’s going to change my life. My name is Braelyn Bishop, and this is my fairy tale. Owned is the final book in the Office Intrigue series and it contains two storylines. This book can be read as a standalone. |
