'Addicting and adorable, sweet and sexy, Love at First Fright is a delicious treat!'--Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop Rosemary Shaw's ability to see the dead has never scared her. In fact, it's secretly inspired most of her horror novels. Now at twenty-nine, Rosemary is an acclaimed author, and her most successful book is about to be a blockbuster movie. The film set is in a beautiful manor house in the English countryside, and it's no surprise there are ghosts hanging around. But ghosts are something Rosemary can handle; she's not so sure how to deal with her infuriatingly handsome leading man, who is all wrong for the role.

He's tired of playing the action movie hero and would much rather be gardening with his sweet dog, Fig. Frankly, he's getting too old to maintain the industry's standards of what a man should look like.

Trying to balance the mayhem of her writing deadlines, an adorable ghostly dog, and a pair of Regency-era women who are definitely nothing more than friends, Rosemary is at risk of telling Ellis her secret, or worse--falling for him.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 368 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An in-depth, authoritative account of the fall of 1914 on the Western Front and the First Battle of Ypres, a true turning point in World War I and in modern warfareby the founding editor of MHQ: The Quarterly Journal of Military History"A masterful and heartbreaking book . . . If you want to know how modern warfare began, The Killing Season is for you."Geoffrey C. Ward, co-author of The Civil War, The War, and The Vietnam WarThe Marne may have saved Paris and prevented a devastating setback for the Allies, but it did not spell eventual defeat for Germany. Ypres did.The final months of 1914 were the bloodiest interval in a famously bloody war, a killing season. They ended with the First Battle of Ypres, a struggle in West Flanders, Belgium, whose importance has been too long overlookeduntil now. Robert Cowley's fresh, novelistic account of this crucial period describes how German armies in France were poised to sweep north to capture the Channel ports and knock England out of the warand were only held back by a brilliant improvisation from a cobbled-together handful of desperate British, French, and Belgian troops.In a re-examination of events that have too long seemed set in stone, Cowley combines a wide array of source materials with sharp portrayals both of military leaders and of the men they led. We follow Albert of Belgium, the world's last warrior king; French General Ferdinand Foch, a former professor of military science; and Hendrik Geeraert, an alcoholic barge keeper, who pulled off Albert's literal last-ditch effort. Many other memorable characters emerge, including Sir John French, a British commander, who displayed his greatest talent for maneuver in the bedroom; along with both a young Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill.The vast brawl of four armies in Flanders was a turning point that irrevocably changed the nature of modern warfare. In this visceral account, based on thirty years of research and picking up where Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August left off, Cowley details the crucial decisions that determined the outcome of the Great Warwhich may have been decided by a single, extraordinary afternoon.…
