Dive into this FREE action-packed, slow burn shifter romance series starter by urban fantasy author Thea Atkinson and enjoy a strong female main character meeting her match in a brooding human mercenary. Pack rules state: "You kill the alpha, you become the alpha." As the pack's enforcer and the alpha's daughter, I know the rules as well as anyone. I just never expected the devious foster brother that we brought into our pack and gave a place to call his would assassinate my father and use those rules to usurp his position. The coward even hired a mercenary to take my young brothers hostage. He's a stoic, powerful human soldier who has no idea what he's up against when he takes his place as guard outside my prison cell. And when I'm forced to become the new alpha's mate so he can solidify his command of the pack, that human delivers me to my doom. But I know something the traitor doesn't. That even if he dangles my brothers' lives in the balance, the pack will never accept an interloper as their leader, even if he uses my position to solidify his. He might think he can starve me into submission while he rallies the pack. He can believe a mere mortal soldier is able to keep me in check while he rallies the pack around him.

Yearning for a life of leisure? In 24 chapters representing each hour of a typical working day, this book will coax out the loafer in even the most diligent and schedule-obsessed worker. From the founding editor of the celebrated magazine about the freedom and fine art of doing nothing, The Idler, comes not simply a book, but an antidote to our work-obsessed culture. In How to Be Idle, Hodgkinson presents his learned yet whimsical argument for a new, universal standard of living: being happy doing nothing. He covers a whole spectrum of issues affecting the modern idler—sleep, work, pleasure, relationships—bemoaning the cultural skepticism of idleness while reflecting on the writing of such famous apologists for it as Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Johnson, and Nietzsche—all of whom have admitted to doing their very best work in bed. It’s a well-known fact that Europeans spend fewer hours at work a week than Americans. So it’s only befitting that one of them—the very clever, extremely engaging, and quite hilarious Tom Hodgkinson—should have the wittiest and most useful insights into the fun and nature of being idle. Following on the quirky, call-to-arms heels of the bestselling Eat, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss, How to Be Idle rallies us to an equally just and no less worthy cause: reclaiming our right to be idle.

This book contains the second volume of Benjamin Disraeli’s 1847 novel, “Tancred - Or, The New Crusade”. It was the last in his trilogy of political novels, preceded by “Sybil; or, The Two Nations” (1845) and “Coningsby; or, The New Generation” (1844). The plot revolves around the role of the Church of England in rejuvenating Britain’s waning spirituality. This book is highly recommended for fans of political fiction, and is not to be missed by collectors of Disraeli’s work. Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881) was a British politician and author, who served as Prime Minister on two separate occasions. He played a central role in the creation of the modern Conservative Party, defining its policies and its broad outreach. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
