In Want of A Wife

In Want of A Wife 

By: Cathy

‘You don’t believe in love, do you?’ she asked, and Louis laughed, raking his fingers through his hair. ‘I believe in lust, and I believe in marriage.’ ‘You mean marriage based on … what? How can you base a marriage on lust? Lust doesn’t last.’ ‘But it’s an enjoyable starting point, don’t you agree? Not that I’ve given much thought to marriage one way or the other.’ Lizzy shifted awkwardly. She realised that her legs were brushing against his, and she primly angled her body away from him. When their eyes met, she could see at a glance that he had noted the shift and was amused by it. ‘And what happens when the lust fades away?’ ‘Oh, that’s why it’s so important to be practical when it comes to getting married. A decent business arrangement doesn’t allow for any nasty surprises. There’s no such thing as the perfect marriage, but there is such a thing as the perfect criteria for a wife.’ [download]

The Courtship Dance

The Courtship Dance

By: Candace Camp

NO ONE WOULD have guessed from the way Lady Francesca Haughston moved through the Whittington ballroom that she was making the opening moves of her campaign. She strolled along in her usual manner, pausing to compliment a dress here or flirt with one of her many admirers there. She smiled and talked and plied her fan deftly, a vision in ice-blue silk, her blond hair falling in a cascade of curls from an upswept knot. But all the while, her dark blue eyes were looking for her prey. It had been almost a month since she had vowed to herself to find a wife for the Duke of Rochford, and tonight she intended to set her plan in motion. She had made all her preparations. She had studied the young unmarried women of the ton, and through careful research and observation, she had managed to whittle the number down to just three whom she felt suitable for Sinclair.

The Witches of Santa Anna

The Witches of Santa Anna 

By: Lauren Barnholdt and Aaron Gorvine

Here’s how my first day of school at Santa Anna is supposed to go: 1. I will cruise effortlessly through the halls, never once getting lost, misplacing my schedule, or embarrassing myself in any way. 2. I will meet a boy who will fall madly in love with me. (Think Edward from Twilight, but without that whole weird there’s-a-vampire-staring-at-me-while-I-sleep thing. So I guess think Robert Pattison. Which would actually be perfect, since I’m English. Well, sort of. I grew up in England, but I’ve been in the USever since I was ten. I still have a tiny bit of an accent, which people usually think is cool, so sometimes I try to play it up and make it more pronounced than it actually is. I figure if it worked for Madonna, it should work for me.) 3. I will hook up with a new crowd of amazing friends that will become my friends for life. [download]

John Tyler: The Accidental President

John Tyler: The Accidental President 

By: Edward P. Crapol

John Tyler is not one of the famous or better-known American presidents. If known at all, it usually is because of the catchy political slogan, “Tippecanoe and Tyler too,” which was the rallying cry in the 1840 campaign of presidential candidate William Henry Harrison and his vicepresidential running mate, John Tyler. Perhaps when questioned, a number of Americans also might know thatTylerwas the first vice president to succeed to the presidency upon the death of the incumbent president. Maybe even some would also remember from their school days that his opponents mockedTyleras “His Accidency,” because of the manner in which he became the nation’s tenth president. His obscurity has not been for want of historical accounts of his life and career. A decade after his death, one of Tyler’s good friends and political allies authored a highly laudatory biography of his long public life intended to salvage the tenth president’s historical reputation.

International Economics

International Economics 

By: Barbara Ingham

International Economics is the application of economic theory to situations in which countries are closely connected, through the exchange of goods and services, or through some other type of economic relationship, such as that between a creditor country and a debtor country. International economics is concerned with the interrelationships and interdependencies between national economies. Paul Samuelson, Nobel prizewinner and one of the foremost economists in the world today, has written that no complete understanding of any modern economy is possible without a thorough grounding in international economics. International economics illuminates the interaction between domestic economic events, and important changes in the world economy. Samuelson himself has made important theoretical contributions to the pure theory of trade. [download]

Flirting with Boys

Flirting with Boys

By: Hailey Abbott 

Oh my God!” Celeste Tippen’s best friend almost sent her flying onto the last row of white folding chairs set up on Longbrook High School’s lawn. Under the hot Palm Springs sun, dressed-up families were filling the aisles, clutching graduation programs, and claiming rows of seats by laying jackets and purses across them. Several audience members turned to look at the crazy girls in the back, but Devon Wright didn’t let go of Celeste’s elbow. “What?” Celeste spun around, rubbing her tan arm where Devon’s nails had dug in. That was definitely going to bruise. “Stefan Napoli!” Devon hissed, frantically smoothing. her sleek, shoulder-length black hair behind her ears. “How’s my hair?” Celeste rolled her eyes. “Fabulous, of course. When does your hair ever not look perfect?” Devon was now using Celeste’s sunglasses as a mirror to apply fuchsia lipstick from an ornate gold tube. [download]
