DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Emotionally hurt in the past, a job in a large country house seems to be Emma’s best option for staying single and safe... When Emma Ruskin becomes governess to 10-year-old Poppy Ackroyd, the haughty Ackroyd family all treat her with contempt – particularly Gavin, the effortlessly superior eldest son. Yet Emma realises that Gavin alone genuinely cares for Poppy and their unexpected rapport flatters and alarms her – surely he is out of her league? But then disaster strikes when Emma and Poppy are snatched by kidnappers. Imprisoned and terrified, Emma knows they will be killed if the ransom isn’t paid – unless Gavin can get to them first... First published as Dangerous Love, and originally under a pseudonym, this is a new edition with a new introduction from the author.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Paris, 1919. A young American officer named Edward falls in love with a French girl named Germaine and tries to convince her to marry him. But Germaine keeps avoiding the question. Germaine is sweet and lovely, but also opinionated and immature. She's the perfect companion for Paris night life -- and a master at posing as different people and telling white lies that amuse and confuse her boyfriend. She's a poet ... or is she? Is she too whimsical and crazy for a conventional-minded man like Edward? Or is Edward too narrow-minded? Maybe they are not really in love. Or maybe Edward's suspicions are ruining everything. This beautiful and brooding novel explores the blossoming relationship and the doubts that threaten to derail it. Can they transform the initial spark into something more lasting? Described by New York Times as a "superbly written book, written perhaps as only a poet with and expert in the discipline of verse could write," this overlooked 1942 novel by Pulitzer-winning poet Robert Hillyer is now available as an ebook. This edition includes lots of bonus material: a long biographical portrait of the author, an examination of the novel's major themes, a discussion of the novel's ambiguities and parallels between the life of the protagonist and Hillyer himself (who volunteered for the ambulance corps during WW1 and shared a Paris flat with novelist John Dos Passos). This edition also includes a sampling of poetry Hillyer wrote while living in Europe. My Heart for Hostage, wrote Brad Bigelow of Neglectedbooks.com, "... is perhaps the closest thing to a neglected masterpiece I’ve come across. I cannot recommend it too highly." It's a love story which combines the witty social commentary of an Oscar Wilde novel with the stylistic precision of Flaubert and the psychological realism of Edith Wharton or Henry James.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Imagine feeling overwhelming hopelessness and despair—nothing but oppressive thoughts resonating a constant desire to end the anguish and pain. Anything becomes an option for relief. Everyone has a survival instinct, that healthy voice within them that promotes self-preservation. Janice knows this because hers was silenced by depression so severe that she was a danger to herself for many years. This book graphically details Janice’s journey from a stable, mentally healthy individual to a self-injurious, suicidal, crazy person, as well as her subsequent rehabilitation resulting in her renewed appreciation of life. She decided to share her story in hopes of inspiring just one person who is so distraught that they are tuning out their healthy inner voice and are on the verge of giving in to their despair. Janice believes that if you have the slightest inclination to hurt yourself, your survival instinct will try to tell you something. Just listen.
