Sink your teeth into a steamy vampire romance from USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Rivard... I'm a slayer. He's a vampire. "I'm a sucker for a vampire romance, and this one delivered and then some." ~Romance Addict (5 stars) Bard crossed the room. His reflection loomed over mine in the plate glass. "You're not afraid." He seemed curious, and a little surprised. I sipped my vodka tonic. "No." "Good." He tucked a curl behind my ear. "I promise you'll enjoy yourself." "Yeah?" I took his wine glass and set it on the table, then lifted his wrist and ran my lips over the sensitive underside. His skin was cool with an earthy, very male scent. He stilled in the way vampires can so that even their sluggish heart stops beating. "What are you doing?" His voice was strained. I scraped my teeth over his wrist. "Earning my pay." Welcome to the shadow world of Vampire Blood Courtesans. Where vampires are real, rich...and hungry. I'm the perfect slayer. Smart. Sexy. And lethal. But I want out.

Deep in the heart of every believer, there is a faint whisper. A call. A prompting. We go about our business and we hear it. We see and interact with lost people each day, and the whisper echoes again: "Share your faith. Tell them about Jesus." But fear, busyness, and lack of tools or motivation silence the whisper. Another day, another year, another life passes and we haven't told anyone about the best thing that ever happened to us -- the life-changing message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Modern-day messages of kindness and acceptance deceive us into thinking we never have to open our mouths and actually share the truth with others in love. And yet the whisper is trying to tell you that you have the key to eternity in your possession. Can you hear it? In Compelled, Dudley Rutherford shares his earnest desire for each and every believer to be equipped and bold with the good news of salvation. He encourages you with inspiring stories of men and women, young and old, who have accepted the irresistible call to share Jesus with everyone they meet. And he provides practical methods to overcome your fears and effectively articulate the message of salvation. Allow these pages to strengthen the gentle nudging in your spirit until it's too loud to ignore -- until you are compelled to tell others about the hope you've found.

It’s hate at first sight! Anyone with a good head on the shoulders can deduce my mother's game. It's simple: the tea parties are meant to hunt for a suitable spouse for me. The move is horrid, I know, and I'm appalled by it, but my mother will not listen to anyone once she sets her mind on something. When her net catches a big fish – the senator's son, Chukwujiekwu Williams – my life becomes a nightmare. Chukwujiekwu Williams thinks he's God's gift to women, an arrogant, egotistic cad. Regretfully, I shouldn't have succumbed to slapping him due to his sarcastic comments or allowed myself to be found in a compromising position with him. Now I'm compelled to wed him, but I'll show him that even angels can use whips. I'm averse to his arrogance, and it doesn't matter how wonderfully his family treats me; I'll make him regret the day he consented to this wedding. So much so that next time, he will not be found within ten meters of any woman. The battle has begun, and I'm winning until I forget to guard my heart! Could I be falling in love?

"Compelled to Act" showcases fresh historical perspectives on the diversity of women’s contributions to social and political change in prairie Canada in the twentieth century, including but looking beyond the era of suffrage activism. In our current time of revitalized activism against racism, colonialism, violence, and misogyny, this volume reminds us of the myriad ways women have challenged and confronted injustices and inequalities. The women and their activities shared in "Compelled to Act" are diverse in time, place, and purpose, but there are some common threads. In their attempts to correct wrongs, achieve just solutions, and create change, women experienced multiple sites of resistance, both formal and informal. The acts of speaking out, of organizing, of picketing and protesting were characterized as unnatural for women, as violations of gender and societal norms, and as dangerous to the state and to family stability. Still as these accounts demonstrate, prairie women felt compelled to respond to women’s needs, to challenges to family security, both health and economic, and to the need for community. They reacted with the resources at hand, and beyond, to support effective action, joining the ranks of women all over the world seeking political and social agency to create a society more responsive to the needs of women and their children.
