Book excerpt: I told him to leave. He told me I was his.... The Intern Jaxson Bell has one goal: advancing his career by any means possible. Sleeping with men to further his aspirations isn't uncommon for Jaxson, and his next target is obvious-the deputy mayor. Flirting with Vane is easy because he's handsome, charming, confident, and knows exactly what Jaxson wants. It's effortless to make a deal with Vane, who's more than happy to exchange sex for a job at city hall. What Jaxson doesn't expect is the very unusual kink Vane obsesses over. The oddness should be a deal breaker, but it only has Jaxson more interested. The Deputy Mayor Vane Elwood knows exactly what Jaxson wants the moment he approaches him because, at heart, he's the same kind of ruthless man. He loves sex, and if he can get it free for the simple exchange of a job, he will. Vane anticipates a hasty exit from Jaxson as soon as he discovers Vane's secret kink. To his surprise, Jaxson not only sticks around but seems to be excited. The Right Kind of Dirty Their relationship is meant to be purely physical, but as feelings grow, Vane and Jaxson will have to decide what to do. Vane has a reputation to uphold, and Jaxson has never had a relationship. If news gets out that the deputy mayor is sleeping with his new assistant, their careers could implode. They'll need to use every trick in the book to keep each other.

Book excerpt: He is a predator, and I am his prey . . . . Prey: The Rabbit Mark Fenton, assistant to the mayor, never regretted opening his mouth more than he did when he insulted Madam Winters' establishment, the Courtesan Hotel. Now he's being sold off for a night in the summer auction. It's small comfort that part of the proceeds benefit charity. The man who buys Mark's time, Camden, is wild and unruly. He's not Mark's type, from his giant body to his rough nature, but the more time Mark spends with Camden, the more he finds himself having fun. Predator: The Wolf Camden Wolf knows what he likes-redheads who want to be pursued-and Mark appears to be exactly that. When Madam Winters tells Camden about the feisty man she has ready for the auction block, he can't resist putting a claim on Mark. Chasing him has Camden's inner primal nature excited, and he can't get enough of Mark. But as much as they are having fun, Mark is skittish. Attack and Capture Mark fits into Camden's life like a missing puzzle piece, and Camden's daughters and his best friend/ex-wife love Mark. But convincing him they can have a future is difficult, especially when all Mark wants to do is run away in fear. Luckily Camden is the kind of man who loves a challenge, and he has plans to make Mark his in every single way.
Book Synopsis From Demons to Dracula by : Matthew Beresford
Download or read book From Demons to Dracula written by Matthew Beresford and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2008-12-15 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In blood-soaked lore handed down the centuries, the vampire is a monster of endless fascination: from Bram Stoker’s Dracula to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this seductive lover of blood haunts popular culture and inhabits our darkest imaginings. The cultural history of the vampire is a rich and varied tale that is now ably documented in From Demons to Dracula, a compelling study of the vampire myth that reveals why this creature of the undead fascinates us so. Beresford’s chronicle roams from the mountains of Eastern Europe to the foggy streets of Victorian England to Hollywood, as he investigates the portrayal of the vampire in history, literature, and art. Opening with the original Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, and his status as a national hero in Romania, he endeavors to winnow out truths from the complex legend and folklore. From Demons to Dracula tracks the evolution of the vampire as an icon and supernatural creature, drawing on classical Greek and Roman myths, witch trials and medieval plagues, Gothic literature, and even contemporary works such as Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire and Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian. Beresford also looks at the widespread impact of screen vampires from television shows, classic movies starring Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee, and more recent films such as Underworld and Blade. Whether as a demon of the underworld or a light-fearing hunter of humans, the vampire has endured through the centuries, the book reveals, as powerfully symbolic figure for human concerns with life, death, and the afterlife. A wide-ranging and engrossing chronicle, From Demons to Dracula casts this blood-thirsty nightstalker as a remarkably complex and telling totem of our nightmares, real and imagined.
