Love Redemption Tacos and Tortillas: The Salvador and Maria Story

Editura: EGMONT BOOKS UK

Anul aparitiei: 2015

The Salvador and Maria story is a love story, a love which lives only because of Maria's love, courage, and determination to bring Salvador back home to Mexico. Salvador's story might seen to be the same as the stories of thousands of Mexicans, but a closer look, tells you Salvador is not an "Every Man's Mexican". The story of Ajijic's popular restaurateurs is the story of Salvador's trials and triumphs, of finding love, of begging on the streets of Guadalajara at 6, of beating death, not once but many times and of his deadly addiction to alcohol. It's the story of Maria, who refuses to give up on Salvador, even while suffering the indignities and pain Salvador's addiction is causing. The love she has for Salvador, is what gave her the strength and courage to continue her fight to save Salvador. Alcohol besets many people and only a few are lucky enough to have the love and trust it takes to find help and redemption, even should it be from a very unlikely source. Come, meet Salvador and Maria, Salvador the story teller, Maria the mother and cook, Salvador the man, now sober for over 20 years, the man, who after reading his story, will leave you wondering why he is not dead. ...

Wicked Cravings

Editura: EGMONT BOOKS UK

Anul aparitiei: 2013

For years, wolf shifter Jaime Farrow has harbored a not-so-secret crush on gorgeous Dante Garcea. But the time has come for Jaime to face facts: despite her best efforts, Dante just isn't interested. And that's probably for the best. The last thing Jaime needs is for anyone--particularly Dante--to find out about her little "problem." The one that haunts her past and threatens to destroy her and everyone she loves... As the pack Beta, workaholic Dante Garcea doesn't have time for distractions--especially the kind promised by Jaime Farrow. It's all he can do to keep her at arm's length and his desire at bay. Yet when her flirtations abruptly end, Dante becomes suspicious. She's hiding something, something big, and unless he can convince her to trust him, their entire pack could be in danger. He knows hot-headed Jaime will resist him...but Dante never takes no for an answer. This book contains explicit content and is recommended for mature readers.

Sucker's Portfolio

Editura: EGMONT BOOKS UK

Anul aparitiei: 2013

Available for the first time, Sucker's Portfolio showcases a collection of seven never before published works from Kurt Vonnegut, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. Short, sardonic, and dark, these six brief fiction stories and one non-fiction piece are consummate Vonnegut with piercing satire and an eye for life's obscene inanity. Also available for the first time is an unfinished science-fiction short story, included in the appendix. These stories trace trivial human lives and mundane desires, which is precisely where Vonnegut's inimitable perspective as a humanist shines, illuminating his alternating hopeful and dismal outlook, although undoubtedly focusing on the latter. Here as in his greatest novels, Vonnegut's writing takes us to the darkest corners of the human soul and with wit and humor, manages to remind us of our potential to be something greater.

The Shuddering

Editura: EGMONT BOOKS UK

Anul aparitiei: 2013

6,They only come when it snows, and nobody ever gets away. A group of close friends gathers at a secluded cabin in the wintry mountains of Colorado for a final holiday hurrah. Instead, it may be their last stand. First a massive blizzard leaves them marooned. Then the more chilling realization: something is lurking in the woods, watching them, waiting... Now a weekend of family, friends, and fun has turned into a test of love and loyalty in the face of inhuman horrors. The only hope for those huddled inside is to fight -- tooth and nail, bullet and blade -- for their lives. Otherwise, they'll end up like the monsters' other victims: bright pools of blood on glittering snow, screams lost in the vast mountains.
