Conqueror S Kiss

There is little hope for sanctuary in the midst of the tumultuous Scottish border wars, yet one woman may find safe refuge... in the arms of her sworn enemy... Jennet Graeme has witnessed terrible tragedy during the many years of strife between the Scots and the English. As Scottish invaders plunder her convent sanctuary, she defiantly resists the blond warrior who claims her as his prize. But his brute strength is overpowering and Jennet is forced to ride with him through the lawless lands, tending to the wounded, protected and desired by a man she wants to hate... but cannot... Sir Hacon Gillard is moved by Jennet's compassion and mercy. As a loyal knight, he's pledged fealty to his king's command, even as he loses his heart to this remarkable woman. Merciless in combat... yet there burns within him a spark for something far beyond the heat of battle...

For more than a decade, Greg Anderson's The Cancer Conqueror has been helping cancer patients take control of their disease and their lives. Told as a modern-day parable, the book traces one patient's journey from the fear, futility, and grief felt upon first hearing a cancer diagnosis to the calm, focused, accepting outlook of a Cancer Conqueror. The story encourages a step-by-step transformation from despair to hope, and carries the empowering message that people can choose to be fully alive-even with a cancer diagnosis. In Journeys with the Cancer Conqueror Anderson has expotentially expanded his groundbreaking book to become an even more important companion to cancer patients. Most significantly, he has added an extensive series of interactive exercises that help the reader achieve greater self-knowledge and a heightened sense of personal empowerment-critically important elements of the holistic healing process. The Cancer Conqueror has helped patients and family members through some of the most difficult times in their lives, and Journeys with the Cancer Conqueror will continue to do so for years to come.

This Companion provides a full introduction to the poetry of William Shakespeare through discussion of his freestanding narrative poems, the Sonnets, and his plays. Fourteen leading international scholars provide accessible and authoritative chapters on all relevant topics: from Shakespeare's seminal role in the development of English poetry, the wide-ranging practice of his poetic form, and his enigmatic place in print and manuscript culture, to his immersion in English Renaissance politics, religion, classicism, and gender dynamics. With individual chapters on Venus and Adonis, The Rape of Lucrece, The Passionate Pilgrim, 'The Phoenix and the Turtle', the Sonnets, and A Lover's Complaint, the Companion also includes chapters on the presence of poetry in the dramatic works, on the relation between poetry and performance, and on the reception and influence of the poems. The volume includes a chronology of Shakespeare's life, a note on reference works, and a reading list for each chapter.
