The reading of the last will of wealthy Eamon Byrne sets off a murder spree and a treasure hunt in the Irish countryside, and antiques dealer Lara McClintoch is in the middle of the action. Lara's friend Alex is one of the beneficiaries of the Will, and she is worried he may be on the murderer's list. The Byrne family is feuding and there are hints of a troubled past. Lara enlists her new Irish friends to help decipher clues based on a poem of mythic Ireland, and risks her own life to follow the clues Byrne left behind. The late Lyn Hamilton authored 11 mystery novels featuring feisty antiques dealer Lara McClintoch. Lyn loved travelling the world and learning about ancient cultures. Both passions are woven into her novels. She lived in Toronto, Canada, and worked in public relations and public service, with a focus on culture and heritage. The Xibalba Murders, first published in 1997, was nominated for the Arthur Ellis Award for best first crime novel in Canada.

"Most intriguing. You obviously know who - and what - I am, but you don't run." He leaned toward her and felt her body react. "Quite the opposite in fact," he murmured as he kissed her neck.Claire felt a shockwave of desire for him. She wasn't sure how long she would be able to think clearly. "Myrnin, wait...We have to talk...You have to remember," she said between breaths."My dear, you needn't use such far-fetching pretext to gain my attention," he purred seductively. "All you need to do is ask and I will freely give to you. Not that I don't enjoy these amusements. You have intrigued me. Which indeed, is no small accomplishment." Her breathing was becoming shallow as he trailed kisses from her neck to her ear. Before she could stop herself, she found her fingers entwined in his hair. His voice was low as he stepped purposefully between her legs and slid her forward, right to the edge of the bed, to meet him. He growled softly in her ear, "Tell me what is it that you desire? Ask anything. I promise you won't be disappointed." Claire inhaled sharply, all intelligent thought gone from her mind. She felt his hand slide up her leg - the one sheathed with the hidden dagger - and stop. "My, my, my...Aren't you full of surprises? " he growled low in pleasure in his throat, "Would you like to try to use that on me? I think I might enjoy that game very much."She felt his hand gently remove the dagger and whispered against his lips, "No we can't do this. Not here, not now, and not when you don't remember me." "I will most definitely remember you," he kissed her neck and jawline as Claire felt his wandering hand continue to glide up her leg. "You are quite a contradiction, little Claire. Your lips say no, but..." He found what he was looking for and she gasped. He smiled wickedly. "Your body clearly says yes."Note - Story contains some sexual content and strong language.I do not own Morganville Vampires, just the plot to this tale.

The story is about a survivor of an orc invasion, Déorhild, who comes to Eodoras to seek help from King Théoden. However, due to her strange story and backround, no one really trusts her except for Éowyn and Éomer. Also, no one is really close to her because of her forbidding personality which is a result of her childhood. But unknown to everyone else, (except those that have their suspicions) Déorhild is not who she seems. Trying to keep her true identity hidden from prying eyes, Déorhild is very secretive. Éowyn still holds herself somewhat distant, but Éomer seeks a closer relationship with Déorhild, who for awhile, turns him coldly down. When Déorhild finally realizes that she loves Éomer, it is too late, for Éomer has along with the Rohirrim been exiled from Eodoras. So Déorhild embarks on a mission, to not only revenge those of her village who died, but to find Éomer and tell him of her true feelings for him before it's too late and he's dead. Yet both Éomer and Déorhild are caught up in a event which is greater than any of them have imagined, a war in which lies the fate of all Middle Earth. Can Déorhild find Éomer and tell him who she really is and what her feelings are for him before it's too late, or will they both perish in the War of the Ring? --First fanfiction and first story on Wattpad-- HIGHLY UNEDITEDBeautiful cover is by @TheRegularRavenclaw CHECK OUT HER GRAPHICS!

When a burned-out agency worker finds himself cornered by fate, he struggles to regain control of his destiny by any means: embezzlement, adultery, even dog-napping are all on the table in this quirky romantic comedy.***Berry Ross believes the course of his life has been dictated by fate. Emotionally distanced from his fiery, French Canadian wife and his badly behaved children, he spends too much time at work enjoying vague fantasies about the wild-haired Art Director on the Agency's creative team. It feels to him that fate is meddling again when a new, no-nonsense Managing Director shows up from the Agency's UK head office with a mandate to trim the maple bacon fat. British, brutish and beautiful, Allegra Wood-Crosbie knows two things -- how to get a bottom-line back to black and how to seduce a married man. Leaving a dark secret behind in the London office, she is dissatisfied to find herself here in the Canadian outpost. She's determined to right this ship, repair her reputation and move back home as quickly as possible. When the echo-filled loneliness of her rental apartment becomes too much to bear, she turns her attention to finding a new companion. Her sights land on Berry -- and a flatulent English Bulldog named Henry.Back at home, Berry's wife Berenice makes a fateful decision of her own. Obsessed with home renovation projects (and imagining how her sexy co-professor might look shirtless) Berenice unwittingly kicks off a sequence of financially devastating events when she hires landscapers to dig up their Toronto backyard. As the threads holding Berry's raft of lies begin to unravel, fate delivers its final blow, and Berry comes to appreciate the importance of personal agency.---Readers Say:"This book was so heartfelt, humorous, and human.

One day, three worlds clashed into one. Wei Wuxian didn't understand why a sudden earthquake interrupted he and his lover's time together, why he'd exchange eye contact with an obsessive couple, nor why he'd find a gorgeous stranger weeping over a dirty ol' mantou. However, the cultivation world now has fierce corpses, ghosts, and demons within their lands and only trouble will brew if they continue to go rogue. The unknown had rounded three worlds who'd fight the heavens for their love, and go to the extremes. "We have three times the love!" !WARNING!

For years he had been excited to go to Hogwarts, but his excitement turns to sharp bitterness after his Sorting, even if it did land him a friend in the end. With the expectations of his father mounting above those of his professors and classmates, Albus finds himself trying everything he can to get himself away from his family name, away from the watchful eyes of his peers looking only to laugh at him. And, eventually, he finds something quite the opposite, drawing eyes towards him and the boy he loves.Scorpius Malfoy, bullied and battered for the rumours surrounding his birth and family name, is quick to make friends with the one and only Albus Potter. Even if his smile was quick, Scorpius had always felt a sense of longing. He never fit in with his peers, but he always had his best friend, Albus Potter. In the midst their fifth year at Hogwarts, Albus and Scorpius find themselves at the mercy of a greater evil than, seemingly, Voldemort himself as they try to bring Cedric Diggory back from the dead. And, along the way, the two find themselves growing closer than they ever have before, even if there are many difficulties along the way. . .

Unlike the N-Strike Elite series, which feature realistic, tactical blasters, Rebelle features sleeker blasters, similar to that of the 2011 Dart Tag lineup. Rebelle blasters feature firing ranges that match those of the N-Strike Elite series.

** Wattpad Featured Story!** A young girl arouses the wrath of an ancient Scottish water spirit who takes her brother's soul in revenge. To save him Brigid must journey through the Shadow realm, begging help and proving herself to each of the totem animal spirits of Britain. Steeped in British mythology and animal lore, The Shadowkeeper is a modern fairy tale written with animation in mind but could also be live action/CGI - lots of CGI!Author's Note:Back in 2005, The Shadowkeeper came heartbreakingly close to being sold to major production companies thanks to good showing in the three screenwriting competitions I submitted to*. A whirlwind trip to Hollywood for an awards night followed by meetings with managers and production companies had my little heart singing (literally one night, at an Etta James concert at the Hollywood Bowl!) Then reality hit. All of the feedback I received was the same: We love it but there's no audience for adventure stories with a female protagonist, change Brigid to a boy and we'll negotiate. Call me stubborn (the two managers offering me representation did) but I didn't think that was a legitimate "note", I thought it was simple sexism and I refused. Since then, The Shadowkeeper has been in the proverbial drawer but I love Brigid, I think she's a badass little eight year old and I've never given up on her. It's now ten years later and the attitude to female protagonists appears to be changing so I'm thinking of submitting The Shadowkeeper again but first I thought I'd pop it up here and see what Wattpadders think. If you like it, I do hope you'll vote and/or comment to let me know whether you'd like to see it on the screen!Happy reading! Darcy. *Competition Results:Finalist, ScriptP.I.M.P.

This Book which has 69 differently titled Poems is actually Part 2 of the Book titled - Love Versus Terrorism ( 409 pages ) . In a planet usurped today by graveyards of terrorism, this poetic collection imparts enlightenment, optimism, courage and an eternal desire to breathe free . GOD'S sacred earth isn't the way it used to be when it was created, thanks to greed of man which has indiscriminately torn apart every creed, color and definition of time for the 5 alphabets called 'MONEY'. The devil has spread terror in the name of religion, in the name of God, most abusively, without the slightest remorse. This book brilliantly equates 'Love' and 'terrorism' at every step and goes on to timelessly prove that no matter how ghastily terrorism perpetuates into the atmosphere, immortal love perennially triumphs over one and all on the earth. A startling collection of anti terror poems in an hour when the world wants them more than anything else, Parekh's words act as a harbinger of peace to infinite masses agonizingly estranged in brutal violence and bloodshed. A must read for every patron of global peace out there ! Love Versus Terrorism unconquerably depicts at each stage that no matter how wretched the wrath of terrorism has penetrated into the planet today-Love forever emerges victorious. Because God has created it as the most Omnipotent panacea for one and all humanity and the living kind. As long as the earth exists, the devil would continue to exist in various forms and shapes-trying his best to insidiously harm living kind. But the power of truth, love, compassion would not only conquer it in all respects, but would continue to bond the entire planet in threads of everlasting humanity. So that the best religion that pervades over one and all is the 'Religion of Humanity'. This book is an unflinching salute to the chapters of love, peace and brotherhood-which are the most efficacious panacea to conquer dastardly terrorism.

Jungkook stared deeply at Jimin's eyes, watched the tears flow from them, watching fervently how they run down slowly from his eyes to his pale cheeks, falling down further to the corner of his swollen torridly-kissed lips which were trembling, felt the shiver in his body, and then he decided to unfasten his hold and let him go."That's to make you think twice, my dear, to realize who you will be messing with.
