What is the difference between love and desire--or is there? Constanzia Borgia has loved her cousin Cesare since childhood but their passion may turn to danger. Now widowed, her parents have sent her to her uncle the pope, in order to secure advantageous marriage for her--but they had not reckoned with Cesare. Cesare Borgia was known for the beauty of his face, his clothes, and the beauty of his women, but behind that was the grasping, greedy heart of a Borgia for whom enough was never sufficient. He has inherited the Borgia ambition, and the cardinal skirts are not what he wants. The minute Cesare and Constanzia lay eyes on each other for the first time in ten years, their childhood affections blossomed into a deep love. After all, is he not her beloved cousin with whom she grew up? Now childhood love has turned into a deadly passion that could destroy them both if their forbidden love is revealed. But eventually, Cesare's love proves stifling. Constanzia longs to be married, and her dreams seem to come true when she marries Calvino Pallavicini and moves with him to Genoa, but she carries a secret that will prove fatal--she is pregnant with Cesare's child. Cesare will not tolerate another man raising his child and when he kills her husband she has no choice but to return to Rome. She seizes another chance to escape when Lucrezia marries the future Duke of Ferrara. She marries again, but Cesare kidnaps her and carries her away. What will happen now, she thinks she is pregnant but does not know who is the father! #1 Borgia and Cesare Borgia--1/12/23 #1 Cesare #1 CesareBorgia #1 Borgia

The girl in the sky blue dress had her father's heart and her mother's brain. She lived in a place where the sun shown and snow fell. Helping her brother on the farm they'd inherited from their dead father, she finds herself being drawn out from the safe confines of her home as a hoard of Englishmen cross the small strip of sea to France. Two young people with completely different lives meet. One is a king, the other a peasant. Even worse, one in English and the other French, but when they meet sparks fly and nothing can stop the raging flames that will rip across the battlefield, a fairytale no more...

Louis Partridge, an 18-year-old rebel, always thought that life was a platform of misfortunes. Due to a series of problems, he paved his path with useless vices and cursed the world for giving him selfish and irresponsible parents. He hated everything ----- the sun, rainbows, colors, and fun. The only thing that comforted him was the cold caress of rain. It was the only thing that made him feel safe and alive. Sanaiah Winters, however, hated it. Not because of the gloom and flood that came with it, but because she was born with the rarest disease ever recorded in earth's history---- Pluvio Urticaria, or rain allergy. Contact with a tremendous amount of rainwater could be lethal for her. But the disease never waned her hopes in life. Unlike Louis, Sanaiah was a cheerful and optimistic painter who thought of nothing but hope and happiness despite her condition. As two paths converge, only two things are certain when the raindrops fall----- it can mean life or death.
