He was mine to protect. Mine to adore. Mine to lose forever. Icarus may not have flown particularly close to the sun, but he has fallen...right into the rough hands of Olympus's own Poseidon. Being held captive by the gentle giant wouldn't be so bad if Olympus wasn't on the eve of destruction...or if Poseidon stopped looking at him with those irresistibly stormy eyes. Poseidon doesn't have time to babysit his increasingly bratty prisoner, but he has no choice: Olympus is officially at war, and someone has to keep their best bargaining chip out of harm's way. The thing is, the longer Poseidon is with Icarus, the more he starts to care for his sworn enemy...and the more he realizes that Icarus isn't the villain he's been made out to be. There's a warmth to him, a vulnerability, that Poseidon finds difficult to ignore or deny. Now with Circe and the Aeaens at the gate and Olympus a hair's breadth away from falling, Poseidon will have to make a difficult choice: about himself, about his allegiances, and about the man who woke his heart from its long slumber only to threaten to break it for good... A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Poseidon and Icarus.

Persuasion (1817) is the final novel written by English author Jane Austen-and the first to be attributed to her name. Persuasion was published posthumously to widespread critical acclaim, and has since been recognized as an understated and mature work of fiction from one of history's finest writers. Like most of Austen's novels, Persuasion involves an intricate network of characters and relationships, illustrating its author's peerless attention to the inner workings of aristocratic society and the nuances of human communication.Persuaded by her wealthy family to break off her engagement to the young Frederick Wentworth, Anne Elliot finds herself unmarried nearly eight years later. By now, with the Elliot family all but ruined by the spendthrift Sir Walter and his enabling daughter Elizabeth, the prospect of marriage is not only a distant hope for Anne, but a bitter reminder of what could have been. When chance reunites her with Frederick, now the esteemed Captain Wentworth for his accomplishments in the Napoleonic Wars, she will have to navigate feelings both old and new with the reversal brought on by their opposing fortunes. As the two are drawn closer together, they will have to decide if it is possible to rekindle a love that has lain dormant much longer than their engagement was allowed to last. Jane Austen's Persuasion is a perceptive and entertaining novel that raises timeless questions regarding the inequity of social life, the disparate opportunities available to men and woman, and the indomitable feelings which work to draw them together-and threaten to drive them apart.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Jane Austen's Persuasion is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

George Eliot's most acclaimed work, Middlemarch displays the author at the peak of her powers, weaving multiple plotlines and a memorable collection of characters together to create a wide-ranging novel of remarkable insight. First appearing in 1871, Middlemarch is a historical novel set 42 years before its publication. Political and social concerns of the era are present but serve as background and contrast to four compelling plotlines focused on a set of unforgettable characters striving against circumstance, each other, and themselves. Powerful themes, religion, love, marriage, education, society's treatment of women and much more, are dealt with as fully fused elements of the story and integral parts of the lives of the characters. The author conveys a sweeping vision of small-town England in the Victorian era, the rich and the poor, the people of the countryside and the people of the city, while unspooling several interlocked storylines full of passion, uncertainty and suspense. Middlemarch received a mixed reaction upon its initial appearance, but has gained in standing among critics and general readers until it is now commonly considered one of the high points of 19th century fiction and even of English literature as a whole.With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Middlemarch is both modern and readable.

Esther is a free-thinking young woman who enjoys her independence. Her strained relationship with her father usually keeps her far from the church, until she is hired to paint a mural for a Christian church in New York. There, the pastor, Stephen, is in awe of Esther's work. He makes a consistent effort to connect with her, memorized by her talent. Though she initially recoils from his attention, Esther starts to fall in love with Stephen after he helps her through a family matter. Growing closer as her father's health declines, Esther and Stephen connect despite their differences. From the start, Esther and Stephen must face conflicts in personality, faith, intellect, and social beliefs. Their relationship is built on rocky ground, threatening Esther's independence, but offering comfort in her time of need. Intrigued by Stephen's faith and moved by her love for him, Esther tries to become religious, even though it conflicts with her reason and threatens her independence as a woman. Though her love for Stephen is strong, Esther struggles to decide if it is more important than her autonomy and if his faith is any match for her beliefs of intellectual reason. Clashing personalities, sexism, and the battle between faith and reason make a clever and thoughtful setting for this romance, challenging Esther and Stephen's relationship with philosophical, theological, and social debate. Esther, written by Henry Adams, examines common ethical and intellectual differences in society and the effect such contrasts have on both romantic and platonic relationships. Though it was published over one hundred years ago, Esther depicts problems that current readers can relate to, and Adam's wit offers surprising insight and depth. Now presented with a new and appealing cover design and font, paired with classic, well-developed characters, and a lively setting, John Adam's Esther is easier than ever to enjoy. With a deep, complicated romance and thoughtful representation of the forever relevant debate between reason and religion, Esther is an American classic well deserving of praise and conversation.
