Golden Flames (The Delaneys: The Untamed Years #1)
by Kay HooperA Civil War treasure hunt unites a haunted socialite and a Delaney rogue in this breathtaking novel from New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper. Victoria Fontaine may be a vision of genteel refinement, every inch the lady, but she has secrets that make her dangerous to any man bold enough to pursue her. Falcon Delaney is no fool, and he’s more than bold enough. He’s a master of seduction, a man who lights something primal inside her and almost makes Victoria forget the brutal ravages of a war that took everything from her. She lives by the rules of an unforgiving society, and yet Falcon seduces her heart and mind until none of that matters. To her shock, Victoria finally realizes she’s willing to disregard every rule to have him—until a heartbreaking telegram sends her riding west in deadly pursuit of a killer. Powerful, dangerous, and broodingly handsome, Falcon has spent years pursuing a stolen cache of Union gold. When he’s attacked and awakens in a locked New York cellar, gazing into the enchanting eyes of Victoria Fontaine, he’s more than willing to forget all about treasure. Torn between obsession and duty, Falcon longs to cherish Victoria, to understand the secrets and shadows he senses in her and make her his own. But, always a lone wolf, he cannot make any promises, even to the woman who has stolen his heart. Then Victoria is wrenched from his arms by a shocking blood debt—and Falcon has no choice but to follow her in a desperate race to reach her before her enemies do, to a place where danger, desire, and a shared destiny await. This ebook includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.
Haxan (The Haxan Series)
by Kenneth HooverFrom the author of Quaternity: “The story of an immortal champion in an American West that never was, and so is all the truer for it” (Richard Parks, author of The Long Look). Thermopylae. Masada. Agincourt. And now, Haxan, New Mexico Territory, circa 1874. Through a sea of time and dust, in places that might never be, or can’t become until something is set right, there are people destined to travel. Forever. Marshal John Marwood is one of these men. Taken from a place he called home, he is sent to fight an eternal war. It never ends, because the storm itself, this unending conflict, makes the world we know a reality. Along with all the other worlds waiting to be born. Or those that were born, but died like a guttering candle in eternal night . . . The first in a series, Haxan is Lonesome Dove meets The Punisher—real, gritty, violent, and blatantly uncompromising. “A mixture of western and urban fantasy, with a cold, moody atmosphere that makes us want to put on a sweater. The author leaves the door open for a sequel, but, given the kind of life Marwood lives, it could be set anywhere, or anytime.” —Booklist
Quaternity
by Kenneth Mark Hoover“A poetic, doom-laden Western soaked in blood and frenzy. This Cormac McCarthyesque terror fantasia of a prequel both frames and outstrips Hoover’s Haxan” (Gemma Files, author of Spectral Evidence). Before he became a US federal marshal in Haxan, John Marwood rode with a band of killers up and down the Texas-Mexico border. Led by Abram Botis, an apostate from the Old Country, this gang of thirteen killers searches for the fabled golden city of Cibola, even riding through the barren, blood-soaked plains of Comancheria. In this violent crucible of blood, dust, and wind, Marwood discovers a nightmarish truth about himself, and conquers the silent, wintry thing coiled inside him. “After 2014’s brilliantly brutal Haxan, Hoover revisits his nightmarish American West . . . A western of blood and violence with a marked lack of redemption tinged with hints of the fantastic, this is a pitch-black western that resonates.” —Publishers Weekly “With a voice both sparse and poetic, Hoover takes on the hoary cliches of Western fiction and dismantles them one by one. In Quaternity, Hoover’s unflinching look at evil will challenge everything you know about yourself and the world we live in.” —Melissa Lenhardt, author of Heresy “Hoover does it again. Quaternity starts with a bang and doesn’t quit until a satisfying conclusion. This is my kind of weird west. Love it!” —Jennifer Brozek, author of The Last Days of Salton Academy

Menage: De chica buena a chica mala
by Kathleen Hope—No pienses, Scarlett —interrumpió Lucas, dando un último paso para acabar con la distancia que los separaba. Esperó un momento, probablemente para ver si se apartaba de él, pero Scarlett estaba anclada al suelo. En ese momento, pensó que no conseguiría mover las piernas ni aunque su vida dependiera de ello. Estaba harta de ser la chica buena. Eso era justo lo que quería, ¿no? ¿Algo salvaje y lascivo? Sin embargo, cuando Lucas inclinó la cabeza hacia la suya y sus brazos la envolvieron, experimentó un momento de pánico. “Pero, ¿qué estoy haciendo?” se preguntó a sí misma, incrédula. Pero entonces, los labios de Lucas tocaron los suyos en un beso suave y sensual. Su cuerpo quería más e intentó obligar a la parte lógica de su cerebro a callarse mientras abría la boca para Lucas. Se abrazó a su cuello mientras él exploraba su boca con la lengua. “No pienses, Scarlett” las palabras de Lucas resonaban en su cabeza. “Hazlo y ya está. Tienes a un tío increíblemente sexy pegado a tu cuerpo… no pienses”, se repetía a sí misma. Por una vez en la vida, no le apetecía pensarse las cosas.
Ménage: Não Sou Mais Uma Boa Garota
by Kathleen Hope“Não pense, Scarlett,” ele disse enquanto dava o passo final para cruzar a distância entre eles. Ele esperou um momento, provavelmente para ver se ela recuaria, mas ela ficou firmada no lugar. Ela não conseguiria fazer as pernas se mexerem agora nem se quisesse. Já estava cansada de ser a boa garota. Era isso o que ela queria, não era? Selvagem e irresponsável? Mas quando a cabeça dele veio em sua direção e ele a envolveu com os braços, ela experienciou um momento de pânico. “O que estou fazendo?” ela pensou, sem acreditar no que estava acontecendo. Mas então, os lábios de Lucas estavam nos dela e ele a beijou gentilmente, como que provocando. O corpo dela queria mais e ela tentou forçar a parte lógica de seu cérebro para o fundo enquanto abria a boca para ele, o recebendo de bom grado. Ela envolveu o seu pescoço com os braços quando ele aceitou o convite, invadindo a boca dela com a língua. “Não pense, Scarlett,” ela lembrou do que o Lucas havia dito antes. “Apenas faça. Você tem um cara incrivelmente gostoso aqui… não pense,” ela entoou em sua mente. Pela primeira vez, ela não queria pensar muito...
Ménage: Rodeo Notturno
by Kathleen Hope“Ancora non lo sai, vero?” Gli occhi di Michael incrociarono i suoi, lo sguardo focoso di lui era in cerca di risposte. “Non so cosa?” rispose Julia. Ma mentre lei parlava, la mano di Michael raggiunse la parte alta della sua coscia e vi aleggiò sopra. Julia non era sicura di cosa le fosse preso in quel momento, ma non si sottrasse. Anzi, allargò leggermente le cosce – quel tanto che bastava per far capire a Michael che non voleva che lui si fermasse. Non era mai stata così audace in vita sua, incoraggiando un quasi estraneo come quello nel mezzo di un campo vuoto. Ma da quando era arrivata a casa, aveva trascorso pressoché ogni minuto in stato di eccitazione, arrapata in maniera frustrante, e il suo corpo non voleva lasciarsi sfuggire l’opportunità di avere un po’ di sollievo. Non poteva farne a meno. Michael rimase immobile e lei allargò…
Menage: Rodeo Nocturno
by Kathleen Hope Anggena"Todavía no lo sabes, ¿verdad?" Los ojos de Michael se encontraron con los de ella, su mirada ardiente buscando la respuesta. "¿No sabes qué?", Respondió Julia. Pero mientras hablaba, la mano de Michael llegó a la parte superior de su muslo y él se quedó allí. Julia no estaba segura de lo que la poseía en ese momento, pero no se apartó. En cambio, extendió los muslos ligeramente, lo suficiente como para hacerle saber a Michael que no quería que se detuviera. Nunca había sido tan valiente en su vida, alentando a un casi desconocido como este en medio de un campo vacío. Pero ella había pasado casi cada minuto desde que había llegado a casa ardiendo, frustradamente excitada, y su cuerpo no iba a dejar pasar la oportunidad de quitarle el borde. Ella no pudo evitarlo. Michael se quedó quieto, y ella la separó ...
Menage: La brava ragazza diventa cattiva
by Kathleen Hope Letizia Baiardi"Non pensare, Scarlett" le disse compiendo l'ultimo passo per colmare la distanza tra di loro. Attese un istante, probabilmente per vedere se si sarebbe allontanata da lui, ma lei rimase immobile al suo posto. Pensava che non sarebbe riuscita a far muovere le sue gambe neppure se la sua vita fosse dipesa da quello. Era così stanca di essere la brava ragazza. Questo era ciò che voleva, no? Libera e selvaggia? Ma nel momento in cui la testa di lui si abbassò verso di lei e le sue braccia avvolsero il suo corpo, lei sperimentò un momento di panico. “Che sto facendo?” pensò incredula, ma le labbra di Lucas si posarono sulle sue baciandola sensualmente. Il suo corpo voleva di più e provò a spingere la sua mente razionale in secondo piano mentre apriva la sua bocca, accogliendolo al suo interno, la lingua di lui esplorava alla ricerca di quella di lei. “Non pensare Scarlett” ripeté tra sé e sé l’affermazione di Lucas “Fallo e basta. Hai un uomo incredibilmente sexy premuto contro di te… Non pensare.” Per una volta non voleva..."

The Films of Delmer Daves: Visions of Progress in Mid-Twentieth-Century America
by Douglas HorlockDelmer Daves (1904–1977) was an American screenwriter, director, and producer known for his dramas and Western adventures, most notably Broken Arrow and 3:10 to Yuma. Despite the popularity of his films, there has been little serious examination of Daves’s work. Filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier has called Daves the most forgotten of American directors, and to date no scholarly monograph has focused on his work.In The Films of Delmer Daves: Visions of Progress in Mid-Twentieth-Century America, author Douglas Horlock contends that the director’s work warrants sustained scholarly attention. Examining all of Daves’s films, as well as his screenplays, scripts that were not filmed, and personal papers, Horlock argues that Daves was a serious, distinctive, and enlightened filmmaker whose work confronts the general conservatism of Hollywood in the mid-twentieth century. Horlock considers Daves’s films through the lenses of political and social values, race and civil rights, and gender and sexuality. Ultimately, Horlock suggests that Daves’s work—through its examination of bigotry and irrational fear and depiction of institutional and personal morality and freedom—presents a consistent, innovative, and progressive vision of America.
