Gorgeous, cocky, and fast on his way to becoming a hotshot doctor, Josh Chen has never met a woman he couldn’t charm—except for Jules f**king Ambrose. The beautiful redhead has been a thorn in his side since they met, but she also consumes his thoughts in a way no woman ever has. When their animosity explodes into one unforgettable night, he proposes a solution that’ll get her out of his system once and for all: an enemies with benefits arrangement with simple rules. No jealousy. No strings attached. And absolutely no falling in love. ** Outgoing and ambitious, Jules Ambrose is a former party girl who’s focused on one thing: passing the attorney’s bar exam. The last thing she needs is to get involved with a doctor who puts the SUFFER in insufferable… no matter how good-looking he is. But the more she gets to know him, the more she realizes there’s more than meets the eye to the man she’s hated for so long. Her best friend’s brother. Her nemesis. And her only salvation. Theirs is a match made in hell, and when the demons from their past catch up with them, they’re faced with truths that could either save them… or destroy everything they’ve worked for. Twisted Hate is a steamy enemies with benefits/enemies to lovers romance. It's book three in the Twisted series but can be read as a standalone. Warning: It contains explicit content and profanity. Recommended for 18+.

Superb și arogant, JOSH CHEN se pregătește să devină medic. Până acum, n-a întâlnit nicio fată care să-i reziste — cu excepția afurisitei de Jules Ambrose. Încă de când s-au cunoscut, frumoasa roșcată i-a fost ca un ghimpe în coastă, dar în același timp Jules îl obsedează așa cum nimeni alta n-a reușit. Când antipatia dintre ei pur și simplu ,,explodează”, având drept rezultat o noapte memorabilă, Josh îi propune o soluție care — speră el — îl va ajuta să uite de obsesia care-l macină: un aranjament de tip „inamici cu beneficii”, cu reguli simple. Fără gelozie. Fără obligații. Și e absolut exclus să se îndrăgostească unul de celălalt. *** Sociabilă și ambițioasă, JULES AMBROSE obișnuia să petreacă în facultate, însă acum se concentrează asupra unui singur scop: să treacă examenul de admitere în barou. Ultimul lucru care-i trebuie este să se încurce cu un doctor extrem de nesuferit… indiferent cât de arătos e acesta. Dar, cu cât îl cunoaște mai bine, cu atât mai mult își dă seama că există lucruri nebănuite în legătură cu cel pe care l-a urât atâta vreme. Fratele celei mai bune prietene a lui Jules. Dușmanul ei numărul unu. Și singura ei speranță de salvare.

Mahabaleshgarh, a powerful state in western Indira, commands a vast expanse, supremacy, and reign. However, it would be unreasonable to claim that Mahabaleshgarh was the only state of such caliber, for Suryagarh, in all its grandeur, thrived on the other side of Indira. A colossal desert named Rann separates these two empires. This scorching desert witnessed two deadly battles between these two states two decades ago. These ensuing battles were infamous, as they were a brother’s revenge against another brother. The subject was consent. The war was famous for a woman’s vengeance against an older man, and the subject was yet again consent. Consent—a word so simple yet hard to interpret in its actual context, and consent triggers war every time. It sees no status, no religion, no relationships, and is certainly not bound by promises. And, in the name of consent, two magnificent states of Indira were about to witness the regal saga of Princess Nandani of Mahabaleshgarh and the Crowned Prince of Suryagarh, Rudra Dev Singh. A tale not so enormous nor too plain—a story of two individuals not just falling in love but of two contending empires, entwined by a tumultuous past, now standing at the crossroads of an uncertain truce. Beyond morals and values, above social norms and status, this is a tale of thirst for revenge, the rigour of control, and the spice of seduction, where the world will witness how fiercely a woman can love and how vulnerable a man in love can get. Falling in love is easy, but will these souls rise above the countless trials of fate—society's questions, political deceit, hardships, and enmity—to unite in love? Embark on this journey of passion and possession of Rudra-Nandani, A Saga of Control and Seduction.

This is an alternate cover edition of ISBN 9780451529305. Generations of readers young and old, male and female, have fallen in love with the March sisters of Louisa May Alcott’s most popular and enduring novel, Little Women. Here are talented tomboy and author-to-be Jo, tragically frail Beth, beautiful Meg, and romantic, spoiled Amy, united in their devotion to each other and their struggles to survive in New England during the Civil War. It is no secret that Alcott based Little Women on her own early life. While her father, the freethinking reformer and abolitionist Bronson Alcott, hobnobbed with such eminent male authors as Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, Louisa supported herself and her sisters with "woman’s work,” including sewing, doing laundry, and acting as a domestic servant. But she soon discovered she could make more money writing. Little Women brought her lasting fame and fortune, and far from being the "girl’s book” her publisher requested, it explores such timeless themes as love and death, war and peace, the conflict between personal ambition and family responsibilities, and the clash of cultures between Europe and America.
