Dame Differel Van Helsing has survived her aunt's attempted coup, and with Dracula as her quasi-slave she is now in a position to successfully defend the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth from paranormal threats. But will he be enough to protect her from other enemies who seek to destroy her before she can fully claim the directorship? And can she really trust him? This ebook is a novella.Dame Differel Van Helsing has survived the attempted coup by her aunt, Miranda Pendragon, and has released Vlad Tepes Drakulya and claimed him as her quasi-slave. She is now ready to take over the directorship of the Caerleon Order and defend the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth of Nations from all paranormal threats.Unfortunately, she is not yet out of danger. There are other forces that seek to destroy her before she can consolidate her position, and Aunt Mandy almost certainly had confederates. Any one of them could strike at any moment.On top of all that, she knows very little about the capabilities and skills of her own staff. Though her father trusted and relied on them, she can't know if they would be a help or a hindrance in a crisis. Even Aelfraed her butler, his sister Mrs. Widget, and her bodyguard Mr. Holt, despite the risk to their own lives, would have arrived too late to save her from her treacherous aunt. Can she truly depend upon them?And then there is Vlad. Potentially her most powerful asset, he could also be her most dangerous liability. Nothing short of divine intervention could stop him from destroying her and the Order if he so chose. Can she fully trust him? If she cannot, should she re-imprison him or destroy him? And if the latter, how?

After the death of her husband, Sir Differel Van Helsing decided to take some time off and tour the English back-roads on a motorcycle, and rethink her life. Unfortunately, paranormal threats are everywhere, and she cannot ignore them. This is a short story.Sir Differel Van Helsing once believed she would never have a family of her own. It just seemed inconceivable that she would ever forge an emotional tie to another human being that could leave her vulnerable and thus compromise her ability to run the Caerleon Order.Then she met a good man who genuinely liked her for herself. Despite her attempts to resist, she eventually fell in love with him. They married and conceived a child, and she came to believe they would be together forever.When he was assassinated by a rival monster-hunting organization, her whole world fell apart. Though she recovered in time, she came to question her commitment to running the Order. She knew she could not be an effective director if she had any doubts, so she decided to take some time off to reconsider her life's choices.Taking a cue from her parents' premarital activities, she bought and refurbished an antique motorcycle so she could tour the English country back-roads alone as an outlaw biker. She plans to spend whatever time she needs to work through her dilemma, because she realizes that whatever decision she makes will be final and irrevocable for the rest of her life, and she wants to make sure it is the right one.Unfortunately, paranormal threats are everywhere, and try as she might she cannot ignore them, or her duty.

How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Formatted for e-reader Illustrated About Tarzan And The Jewels Of Opar by Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar is a novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the fifth in his series of books about the title character Tarzan. It first appeared in the November and December issues of All-Story Cavalier Weekly in 1916, and the first book publication was by McClurg in 1918. The novel was written while Burroughs lived in Oak Park, Illinois, which provided the name "Opar".In the previous novel Tarzan and Jane's son, Jack Clayton, a.k.a. Korak, had come into his own. In this novel Tarzan returns to Opar, the source of the gold where a lost colony of fabled Atlantis is located, in order to make good on some financial reverses he has recently suffered. While Atlantis itself sank beneath the waves thousands of years ago, the workers of Opar continued to mine all of the gold, which means there is a rather huge stockpile but which is now lost to the memory of the Oparians and only Tarzan knows its secret location. A greedy, outlawed Belgian army officer, Albert Werper, in the employ of a criminal Arab, secretly follows Tarzan to Opar. There, John Clayton loses his memory after being struck on the head by a falling rock in the treasure room during an earthquake. On encountering La, the high priestess who is the servant of the Flaming God of Opar, and who is also very beautiful, Tarzan once again rejects her love which enrages her and she tries to have Tarzan killed; she had fallen in love with the apeman during their first encounter and La and her high priests are not going to allow Tarzan to escape their sacrificial knives this time.

Troy Slater is used to action in business and in his personal life. Swan is not as sophisticated as she appears. She has always struggled with the Ugly Duckling image. Fate, steaming passion and romance bring them together. Sparks fly as jealousy and misunderstandings threaten to tear them apart.Although Sassy Swan is from the world of modeling and glamour, she is afraid of macho men and intimate relations. Sexy, buff, hot-studded Troy has no such hang-ups. Fate has thrown them together on a crashed mountain top of the Colorado Rockies. It is not long before passion rages in the snug igloo of the 707's severed tail and threatens to melt their icy cooler, while the call of the wild northern wolf threatens their very existence.Excerpt Chapter 1“Here’s to champagne cocktails and chocolate covered studs!”The quiet laughter and tinkling of four champagne flutes vibrated throughout the atmosphere of the elite restaurant as tuxedoed waiters scurried about giving their chic clientele the service they expected. In the center of the room sat four fashionable dressed young women under the twinkling chandeliers. They drew the attention of every mature male that wasn’t nearsighted, farsighted, or partially blind. Heads swiveled as each male patron strained his neck to peek among the marble statues, lime green palms, and fresh colorful flowers that graced the crisp white tablecloths. Each gentleman was trying to get a better glimpse of the four hot chicks that were toasting and roasting. Most weren’t even trying to be discreet. Even the waiters were not too busy to be immune by each lady’s physical attributes, charm, and beauty.Troy Slater was no exception. He glanced up at precisely the moment the redhead chose to cross her shapely long limbs. Troy leaned back slightly in his chair and shifted to get a better view of those legs and the one they called Swan. He liked what he saw. The redheaded bombshell with the lanky legs wore a silky black nylon held-up by only a skimpy piece of a black lacy garter belt. The creamy white thigh beyond the black silk looked smooth and touchable.“Isn’t that right, Slater?Troy’s black eyebrows snapped together in a stormy piecing scowl. To the skinny young man’s credit with the bowtie and glasses, he held Slater’s gaze steady. Slater wondered cynically if he’d ever had a “hard on”. He reached in his pocket for a cigarette and reluctantly turned his attention back to business.Romance Novel, Modern Romance Novel, Contemporary Romance Novel, Western Romance Novel, Action Romance Novel, Love Story
