Selected Historical Novels: Victoria and Albert, Anne Boleyn, and Elizabeth
by Evelyn AnthonyBritish history comes to vivid life in these three novels of royal love and intrigue by an international bestselling author. Victoria and Albert: Drawn from Queen Victoria’s diaries and correspondences, Evelyn Anthony’s novel reimagines the story of how a sheltered eighteen-year-old girl ascended to the British throne, became a major force in politics, and fell in love with her cousin, Prince Albert. Spanning the first twenty-one years of her reign, Victoria and Albert is an unforgettable love story and “a sympathetic picture of a marriage which makes its royalty human in their frailties and their strengths” (Kirkus Reviews). Anne Boleyn: Sixteenth-century history comes thrillingly alive as King Henry VIII courts Anne Boleyn, who will settle for nothing less than the crown of England—even if Henry has to break with Rome in order to marry her. Anthony’s sweeping novel features a teeming canvas of iconic real-life characters: Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, the enemy Anne vows to destroy; Henry’s first wife, the proud and pious Queen Catherine of Aragon; and Thomas Cromwell, who engineers Anne’s downfall. From the halcyon early days of courtship to her imprisonment in the palace tower for treason, this is a “solid and vigorous story” of love, ambition, and the tragic destiny of Anne of the Thousand Days (The New York Times). Elizabeth: The sickly Catholic fanatic Mary Tudor has reigned for six years when her half-sister Elizabeth ascends to the throne. After enduring years of exile following the execution of her mother, Anne Boleyn, the twenty-five-year-old Elizabeth inherits a realm divided by religious turmoil and financial collapse. Focusing on the first three decades of Elizabeth I’s reign, Anthony chronicles the monarch’s long battle with her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots, for the throne, and the Virgin Queen’s relationship with the Earl of Leicester.

by May VelvetheartUna herencia maldita. Una poderosa y adictiva atracción. Un extraño don que transforma el mundo real en un espejismo. «Jack es el ser menos recomendable en kilómetros a la redonda, pero esa conexión que he intentado evitar es poderosa, mucho más fuerte que mi deseo de evitar lo prohibido».

Y, lo quiera o no, en cuanto Selena pone un pie en la mansión Carter, nada volverá a ser como antes, porque la herencia familiar le tiene reservado un destino del que nadie le había hablado nunca.

Hundida por tener que abandonar su perfecta vida de adolescente, encuentra refugio al lado de Wendy y Will, los hermanos que regentan una curiosa librería de la que Selena queda prendada al instante. Su amor por los libros y la maravillosa repostería de su nueva amiga serán un consuelo más que aceptable para que los días en su nuevo hogar no se hagan eternos. Cuando cree que está empezando a conocer a su familia y que quizá pueda tener algo especial con Will, la aparente normalidad de la que disfruta se convierte en un espejismo. Un terrible suceso sirve de detonante para revelar un don maldito que la cambiará para siempre.

Aunque haga lo que haga, allí está Jack... Su sombra planea siempre cerca, como un lobo que acecha en silencio a su presa. Su oscura obsesión hacia ella y su rechazo a Debs provocan en Selena sentimientos encontrados, de los que trata de huir junto a Will, aunque su relación no parece pasar por su mejor momento, a pesar de ser el chico perfecto. ¿Será realmente amor lo que siente por él? Jack se está apoderando de su mente y quizá también de su alma... Porque a veces es más fuerte ese inexplicable vínculo que parece atraerles de forma inevitable que el deseo de Selena de hacer lo correcto.
Self Belonging: Embrace the Wisdom of Soul and Science and Live Your Best Life
by Luann Robinson Hull"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams and live the life you have imagined." - Henry David Thoreau “True happiness is rooted in a strong sense of personal worthiness which I call Self Belonging.” —Luann Robinson Hull Self-Belonging dives deeply into the subject of dependency in relationships—inspired by the author’s personal challenges. While devoting twenty-five years to helping others break through the barriers of mental illness and life-crisis as a Clinical Social Worker, Luann Robinson Hull found herself repeatedly falling back into destructive habits in her own relationships. A truly wounded healer, Hull was motivated to confront the “raw and rugged mess” of her own emotions. After years of research and study into neuroscience, spirituality, and positive psychology, she offers break-through, cutting edge information on how to literally dial in new pathways in the brain, using a combo-platter of science and spirituality—such as taking advantage of the brain’s ability to re-organize itself (neuroplasticity) with mental-focus practices. With sisterly advice and humor, Hull shares her own ventures into (and out of) love and consciousness, lacing her story with wit and grit as she guides readers through the trenches sharing lifelines of wisdom along the way. She guides readers through many journeys: • Self Belonging• The Human Upgrade• Raising Your Happiness Potential• How Conditioning Influences Relationships• Conscious Evolution: Becoming a Game Changer• Becoming the Master of Your Awareness• Tools for Self belonging• Sweet Freedom and more. Self-Belonging gifts the reader with an opportunity to connect with the authentic self, build joyful relationships, and merge into one’s highest destiny with confidence.
