History is about much more than dusty books, dreary dates, and long-forgotten battles. History is also about sex appeal! Historical Heartthrobs compiles photos and life stories of 50 of the sexiest men and women from history and asks the essential question: Would you really want to date them? Consider George Sand, for instance. She was the hottest thing in pants in nineteenth-century France, but would you really want to put up with all that smoking? Or what about Nikola Tesla? His utter brilliance made Victorians swoon, but he seemed incapable of swooning back. Would you endure his indifference in return for that incredible smile?

BLURB Sometimes, a chance meeting is just the push you need in order to break free from the darkness within... My name is Emma, I'm 23, and I've never been kissed. I'm no virgin...But kissing is too intimate, too intense, and I don't want that - not ever. I like sex, though, and most of my hook-ups don't seem to mind the no-kissing part. But then I meet Daniel, who's such a geek, and definitely not the kind of guy I'd normally take an interest to. He's the shy, quiet type, but with such a charming smile, and he makes my heart race - something I've never experienced before. Daniel has his own issues to work through, and I know my hardened heart shouldn't melt when he looks at me. I really shouldn't be falling for him, either, but somehow, he manages to tear down my walls, and I'm scared...because once he learns my secrets, he'll want nothing to do with me. All I know is that Daniel makes me feel things that I have never felt before - but do I dare let down my walls and confide in him? Will I let him be my first kiss? This is my story, and I'll reveal everything in my own sweet time... Just don't expect all the hearts-and-flowers stuff. Life is messy, and mine is no different...

"And... the fifth rule," he came forward, locking me between him and the slab again. "This should be the last time you talked to me like that," he lowered his face to my level, spiking my heart rate further. "Next time you rant on or call me by the name, I'll personally make sure to shut your lips," he whispered without a hint of casualness on his rugged face. "Will you follow the rules, Althea?" * * * When archaeological intern, Coretta Hayes, is transported to the fourth century BCE for a ground zero reporting, she discovers something that's unknown to the modern historians. The kingdom of Romanos. And she's over the moon when she manages to become its court writer, disguising herself behind the fake name of Althea Rosemary. But there's a problem.
