Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scoundrels, thieves, and rebels inhabit the rookeries--where dangerous men fall in love with fierce women. ONCE SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL... Abigail Vautille dreamed of escaping the Whitechapel rookery and starting a new life until one tragic night left her scarred and penniless. To save her family from debtor's prison, she strikes a deal with the rogue who owns her father's gambling vowels--if he excuses the debt, for two weeks, she'll give him her body, but not her heart. ONCE HE WAS CHARMING... Inspector Michael Strickland of the Metropolitan Police has always had a way with women. Success comes easily to him, and he glides through life on his good looks and family name. But Abigail lights a passion within him he never knew existed. He sees the beauty within her, not the beast she believes herself to be. TOGETHER, THEIR LOVE IS BEYOND A FAIRY TALE. After a dangerous figure from Abigail's past resurfaces vowing vengeance, things take a sinister turn. But Michael will stop at nothing to keep the woman he loves safe. When the stakes are high and the scars are more than skin deep, passion may be the key to a happily ever after. ------- Note: Beauty and the Rake is a dark, gritty, and steamy (heat level 4 out of 5, on-page sex scenes) full-length romantic suspense set in pre-Victorian working-class London. While it is book three in the Rookery Rogues series, it can be read as a stand-alone historical romance.

Book Synopsis The Auditorium Building by : Jay Pridmore
Download or read book The Auditorium Building written by Jay Pridmore and published by Pomegranate. This book was released on 2003 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commissioned by Ferdinand Peck and produced by architects Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler--soon to be leaders of the Chicago School--in 1889, the Auditorium Building was a wondrous complex, housing a hotel, offices, stores, and a theater. Adler's engineering skills overcame the problem of a foundation that had to support an unevenly distributed weight; Sullivan designed the stunning theater, which was spanned by four elliptical arches studded with 3,500 incandescent electric lights and decorated with gold leaf. Adler created a hydraulic stage--with twenty-six lifts--and one of the first air-conditioning systems in a public building. Among the many design features in the interior of the Auditorium were murals, onyx, marble, open loggias, stained glass, filigreed vents, wainscoting, and bronze-plated posts. Scholars considered the Auditorium Building the most important single structure in Chicago. The Auditorium thrived until its closing in 1940. In 1946 Roosevelt University purchased the building, and the Auditorium Theatre Council restored the theater to its former glory. Today, the Auditorium Building is thriving as a showcase for major theatrical events, Roosevelt University concerts, and other events.

Book Synopsis The Merchandise Mart by : Jay Pridmore
Download or read book The Merchandise Mart written by Jay Pridmore and published by Pomegranate. This book was released on 2003 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A huge complex spanning two city blocks, the Merchandise Mart is the largest wholesale design center in the world. The brainchild of James Simpson of Marshall Field & Company, it was planned to house Field's huge wholesale division and prop up sagging sales. Executed by the architectural firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst and White--of Opera House and Field Museum fame--the Mart was the world's most complex mixed-use structure: a warehouse, a department store, and a commercial office tower. All this was presented in a successful blend of elements from the Chicago School, classicism, and Art Deco, built on former Chicago & North Western Railway property and air space over the tracks. Unfortunately, Field's suffered from the Great Depression, and so the Mart stood almost empty during World War II. In 1946 Joseph P. Kennedy purchased the Merchandise Mart for $16 million (it had cost $32 million to build). Under Kennedy's managerial flair; the Mart thrived. Renovations between 1986 and 1991 injected new life into the building and today the Marchandise Mart is an enduring monument to the brash, inventive, and successful Chicago spirit.
