FORD: The woman I love sacrificed herself and rose from the ashes with no memory of what we were to each other. She doesn’t remember how hard she fought to resist our connection. She doesn’t remember our first kiss or our last or what she said to me just seconds before her phoenix form caught fire. Now, I'm on the run with a stranger with a cheery disposition that's nothing like the Juliet I knew. This Juliet is certain we can come out on top, no matter how bleak the odds. This Juliet enjoys flirting with me and suggests we share a bed on our way to get help from the Wolf King of New York. I should be happy that the woman I want finally wants me back, but all I can think about is how much I miss my Juliet. I’d kill to have her glare at me the way she used or see her lips curve in one of her grudging smiles. But there isn’t time to grieve what’s been lost. We have to take down Hammer Zion before it’s too late, before the man who nearly killed us both comes out on top, once and for all. This book is part of a serial romance and should be read after books one and two. Savage Prince is a dark romance that ends in a cliffhanger.

More than any other filmmaker, Sam Peckinpah opened the door for graphic violence in movies. In this book, Stephen Prince explains the rise of explicit violence in the American cinema, its social effects, and the relation of contemporary ultraviolence to the radical, humanistic filmmaking that Peckinpah practiced. Prince demonstrates Peckinpah's complex approach to screen violence and shows him as a serious artist whose work was tied to the social and political upheavals of the 1960s. He explains how the director's commitment to showing the horror and pain of violence compelled him to use a complex style that aimed to control the viewer's response. Prince offers an unprecedented portrait of Peckinpah the filmmaker. Drawing on primary research materials—Peckinpah's unpublished correspondence, scripts, production memos, and editing notes—he provides a wealth of new information about the making of the films and Peckinpah's critical shaping of their content and violent imagery. This material shows Peckinpah as a filmmaker of intelligence, a keen observer of American society, and a tragic artist disturbed by the images he created. Prince's account establishes, for the first time, Peckinpah's place as a major filmmaker. This book is essential reading for those interested in Peckinpah, the problem of movie violence, and contemporary American cinema.

I was named after the goddess of war. I’m no one’s sacrifice. Dean Blackmoor says I’m his. But I’ve got other ideas. After finding out that I’ve chosen the winner of a game I didn’t even know I was playing, I’m determined to make sure that this doesn’t go the way my captors planned. Any of them. After years of being obsessed with me, Cayde St. Vincent has decided to concede, and let Dean claim his victory. But I know he still wants me, and I intend to exploit that in any way I possibly can—up to and including finding my way into his bed. The shadows surrounding Blackmoor House are dark, and there’s plenty of other dangers lurking there, waiting to make me pay for sins that aren’t even mine. But I’m not afraid. They thought I belonged to them. But I’m going to show them just how wrong they are. They’re playing my game now. Savage Prince is the second book in the Blackmoor heirs series. It contains material that may be sensitive to some readers. There are no heroes in this series, and it will get much darker before the dawn. This book is for those who like their men cruel and damaged, their romance dark and questionable, and their emotions toyed with until the very end.
