Selfless: Book Two (bxb) ✔️ (UNDERGOING MAJOR EDITING)
Book Two of the Windsor Triplets Trilogy. These books can be read as stand-alone novels, but it is recommended they be read in order. THIS IS A CHRISTMAS BOOK. WINDSOR TRIPLET TWO: THE SELFLESS TRIPLET ACE VAUGHN: Ah, I was only trying to help him. The media saw us together with a ring on his finger- his mistake- and now they have labeled us as engaged. I didn't deny it. After everything he has gone through, I wanted to help him. Cade Windsor is magnificent. I wasn't sure what drew me to him. He has identical triplet brothers, and to me, I only see him. Ever since the moment we met in the break room of my company over a year ago, I couldn't stop myself from being pulled toward him. The only problem is-I've spent my entire life believing I was straight, and this little show we have to put on has me questioning a lot of things. The biggest question I have to answer comes from one drunken kiss and the way I felt when it happened. Maybe I have a few things to learn about myself. But I know one thing: loving Cade Windsor will not be a hardship. CADE WINDSOR: Ace not only told the media we were engaged, he told me it was to help shove them away from the nightmare my parents caused.

Then, one drunken night, he kisses me, and it changed everything for me. I want to pull away while keeping him close. My brain and heart are fighting for dominance.

"It's too much to remember everything and everyone, all pain and hurt is killing me day by day little by little. I wish I could remove all the pain and move on in my life. I wish I could find an eraser or Better a delete button, so that I could start from beginning, without any misery or pain." ......................................................................................... "Hey Eva, you know you can trust me, right? " He asked me again cupping my cheeks, I can't let him continue this. It had to stop now or it would be too late. I can't risk everyone's life specially his. If hurting him means, him being alive then I would do it without thinking. Again and again. "Eva are you even listening to me?" Noah asked moving his face closer. From this close I can even see the scar which he told me about, its just below the border line of his hair, it can be easily conceal but from this close its more real. His eyes, they are magical. I would love to look at them all the time and never get tired of looking at in them. No, I cannot do this to him, I can't be selfish, I have to do something this time. "No" I answer and walked away from him. .............................................................Complete

Another Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity
Why do so many people on this planet believe in a divine being? Is it even sensible to believe in one? With increasing progression in human knowledge of the natural world around, there seems little reason to believe in a divine being. With this, the pressure increases on both the agnostic and Christian to abandon their search for the answer. Yet on the other front, the Christian also begins to face the rise of old enemies that once plagued Christian orthodoxy. Similar to its predecessor, this book and its compilation of themed articles addresses the issues in the logic, philosophy and thoughts of Christianity from a layperson point of view. Some of these articles serve to expand and clarify the points raised in its predecessor, and some on completely new topics. Yet unlike the predecessor, this book focuses more on the doctrine and basis of Orthodox Christian beliefs and how Christians can apply them to everyday life through articles that are once again, academic, reflective, and argumentative. Just like 'A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity', this book is the result of a single individual's search for God. It promises to be challenging and thought provoking for the genuinely open-minded and interested. Even so, the articles are at best 'arm-chair theology' and are therefore meant to be easily understood by any interested agnostic and Christian with a slow yet provocative push into the basis of Christianity and her doctrines.Complete
