Seducing The Beast

She's pure heaven... He's a whole lot of hell. Ursula's had it with being a good angel. Where's the fun? Determined to snag a bad boy, she's in treatment at From Crud to Stud to drop her goody-goody image and release her inner temptress, no matter what it takes. Like hooking up with sinfully virile Farron? He's one badass demon who's hired the service to tame his beast so he won't scare off mortal babes. A few tweaks and he figures he'll be good to go. As far as Ursula's concerned, ain't nothing wrong with him now. He's the one. Talk about meeting his match. She's sweet, lush, smells crazy good and won't give up her nutty notion that they belong together, despite him trying to protect her virtue. Ha. Determined to seduce the hell out of him, she encourages his darkest desires. Poor guy doesn't have a prayer.

Some men are born to make dynasties and some women are born to make trouble. Hellbent on arranging a pardon for her exiled cousin, Madolyn Carver will stop at nothing to achieve her aim, even if it means seducing the mysteriousEarl of Swafford. So what if he's known as "The Beast" and is immensely powerful? Plucky Maddy isn't frightened off easily. Returned home after too long abroad, The Beast also has a mission. He must remove his younger brother and heir to the vast Swafford estate from the clutches of a most unsuitable woman. When a misunderstanding leads him to mistake Maddy for his brother's cunning mistress, he takes her captive under the guise of The Beast's manservant. Now she can longer be a threat to his misguided brother's future, or so he thinks. And surely, The Beast's infamous iron will can resist the charms of one particularly disobedient, witty, intriguingly stubborn young woman. But there is a far greater danger. A deadly assassin has come to the Swafford estate, and The Beast's fear of falling in love might just be his downfall. Maddy, the woman he won't trust, is the one innocent soul who can save his life-and his heart.

I come from a long line of human servants working in the household of the great vampire, Lady Lilith. I've seen things that make it impossible for me to remain ignorant of passion, though I've never experienced it for myself. Until one day, my mistress sends me on a most extraordinary quest. To Paris and its opera house, where a legend may be more truth than fiction... Due to the threats to her bloodline, Lilith must make sure all of her vampires are aware of the danger. Including one who has cut himself off from her and the rest of the world: Erik. And I'm her chosen messenger. More than our names parallel the old story and I cannot deny the instant attraction between us burns hotter than anything I've ever imagined. But he despises the very vampire I've dedicated my life to serving. And he has also sworn to never turn a woman himself. Even though I've made it clear that I only want to be with him. Forever...

Once upon a time, I fell in love with two men. Their feelings for me were matched only by their hatred for each other.Gaeton, with his brash charm and casual cruelty. Beast, his lust equal to his penchant for violence.Being with them was sinful and perfect in different ways. In the end, I couldn't choose, and I lost them both. Now, my sisters have tasked me with securing our power base, no matter the cost. I will do anything for my family-even if it means agreeing to the terms set by Gaeton and Beast. The three of us. Together. But only for as long as it takes me to choose one of them once and for all. When playing games of power, happily ever after isn't a priority. Not even for me. Especially not for me.Content Warning: Contains the aftermath of a death of a parent by cancer.

Revelation offers a new way of viewing the world... When humans reject the divine order they misuse creation and thereby break the covenant with creation. The results of the breach of covenant include disease, suffering, famine and deprivation... Revelation is the unfolding of the significance of the cross through the witness of Jesus given by those who belong to him... The death, resurrection and ascension of the witnesses (the church) identify them as the covenant people of God re-acting the full ministry of Jesus... To each church the message is the same: believers can only enter the new Jerusalem by faithfulness unto death... Evil, conquered by the cross, will finally be eliminated from human experience. New covenant believers will therefore experience the divine purpose and provision of life in a new Eden. --from William Dumbrell's New Covenant Commentary
