The Christmas Love–Child by Jennie Lucas It's Christmastime in London, and unwittingly Grace is swirled into the sumptuous and scandalous world of Prince Maksim Rostov. When the unworldly secretary learns he took her innocence in exchange for a business deal, she flees broken–hearted. But when Maksim discovers Grace's pregnancy secret, the ruthless Russian drags her to his guarded mansion in snowy Moscow. There he'll keep her as his captive bride and unwilling princess... The Christmas Night Miracle by Carole Mortimer Most people dream of a white Christmas. But for Meg, this Christmas could have done without snow! She'd crashed her car in a blizzard and was forced to seek the kindness of a stranger.

But more freezing temperatures and a white–hot attraction later, and Meg and Jed found themselves sharing Christmas Day together – and watching a special festive miracle unfold! The Italian Billionaire's Christmas Miracle by Catherine Spencer Arlene Russell may be naive and vulnerable, but she's more than a match for arrogant Italian Domenico Silvaggio d'Avalos. Arlene refuses to become Domenico's mistress. Though her business is in trouble, she won't be bought! But Domenico is determined to make Arlene his convenient bride. Especially when she gives him a Christmas gift greater than money could buy!

A box set of James Baldwin's principal novels, featuring Go Tell It on the Mountain, Giovanni's Room, and If Beale Street Could Talk. Originally published in 1953, Go Tell It on the Mountain was James Baldwin's first major work, based in part on his own childhood. With lyrical precision and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a Pentecostal storefront church in Harlem. Giovanni's Room is set in the Paris of the 1950s, where a young American expatriate finds himself caught between his repressed desires and conventional morality. One of the first novels to openly explore the theme of homosexuality, it paved the way for generations of gay and lesbian novelists. And If Beale Street Could Talk is a stunning love story about a young Black woman whose life is torn apart when her lover is wrongly accused of a crime --a profoundly moving novel about love in the face of injustice that is as socially resonant today as it was when it was first published. This stunningly designed slipcase with art by Baldwin's friend and contemporary Beauford Delaney will make the perfect perennial gift and keepsake.

The Appleton sisters of Victorian-era New York City prove that good things come in threes. In the classic historical romance novels A Hint of Mischief and Courting Trouble, along with the Christmas novella Mistletoe and Magic, beloved author Katie Rose brings these uniquely clever, otherworldly women to life. Now the whole trilogy is available in one delightful eBook bundle. A HINT OF MISCHIEF For the bewitching Jennifer Appleton, there is nothing the least bit wicked about holding a séance. She and her charming sisters happen to offer the matrons of Victorian Manhattan a great deal of comfort. So it’s something of a shock when Gabriel Forester shows up at their door, lobbing accusations of fraud—and his remarkably compelling gaze—at lovely, wide-eyed Jennifer. As passion flares unexpectedly, Gabriel and Jennifer must learn to forget the ghostly voices of the past . . . and listen to their beating hearts. COURTING TROUBLE No one could accuse the Appleton sisters of embracing tradition. Though Winifred Appleton hopes to champion the rights of women by becoming an attorney, no law school will take on female students. Her only choice is to accept an apprenticeship from Charles Howe—and try to ignore the fiery passion the handsome prosecutor arouses. Intrigued by Winifred’s spirit, Charles plans to propose once she inevitably buckles under the pressure. But when the pair are pitted on opposite sides of a contentious murder trial, they learn that love is the only argument that matters. MISTLETOE AND MAGIC (NOVELLA) Blond, angelic Penelope Appleton possesses breathtaking looks—and a troublesome secret. Unlike her sisters, Penelope actually does glimpse the future. On the eve of her coming out, Penelope sees a vision of a rakishly handsome dark-haired man who she knows is her destiny. She also foretells his death. At the next night’s Christmas ball, the ethereal beauty tries to deny the magic between her and Jared Marton . . . until a perfect kiss dissolves all barriers to sweet surrender. But soon a perfect love is challenged by the cold winds of fate.

Jim Wright made his mark on virtually every major public policy issue in the later twentieth century—energy, education, taxes, transportation, environmental protection, civil rights, criminal justice, and foreign relations, among them. He played a significant role in peace initiatives in Central America and in the Camp David Accords, and he was the first American politician to speak live on Soviet television. A Democrat representing Texas’s twelfth district (Fort Worth), Wright served in the US House of Representatives from the Eisenhower administration to the presidency of George H. W. Bush, including twelve years (1977–1989) as majority leader and speaker. His long congressional ascension and sudden fall in a highly partisan ethics scandal spearheaded by Newt Gingrich mirrored the evolution of Congress as an institution. Speaker Jim Wright traces the congressman’s long life and career in a highly readable narrative grounded in extensive interviews with Wright and access to his personal diaries. A skilled connector who bridged the conservative and liberal wings of the Democratic party while forging alliances with Republicans to pass legislation, Wright ultimately fell victim to a new era of political infighting, as well as to his own hubris and mistakes. J. Brooks Flippen shows how Wright’s career shaped the political culture of Congress, from its internal rules and power structure to its growing partisanship, even as those new dynamics eventually contributed to his political demise. To understand Jim Wright in all his complexity is to understand the story of modern American politics.
