HER This was never supposed to happen to me. I was smart. I was strong. I was a first degree black belt for fuck's sake, but none of that mattered. I was stolen from my life and thrown into the dark depths of human trafficking. But the worst is him. He wants me broken. But most of all, he just wants me and that's what has me terrified.I won't let him break me. Because in the end, what doesn't kill me will only make me stronger. HIM I'm not a very nice guy. I'm actually a terrible person, but I'm not going to pretend to care. I have a billion dollar empire to run that manifests carnage, blood, and money and I crave it all. Nothing ever got in my way, nothing stopped me. If I wanted something, I made it happen, that is until this damn girl crawled into my life. Strong, defiant, and a mixed martial artist, she was everything I never expected to want in a woman. Breaking her down became an obsession. I wanted more and I'll be damned if I didn't fucking get it.
HERThere are not enough words to describe my internal torment. I knew there would be consequences for what I did. I knew this would be hard. But it's so much harder than I ever want to admit. Physically broken, mentally drained, and legally dead, I now find myself wasting away on an island in the middle of the Bahamas. Darren has left me in isolation for my own recovery and the only thing I can be grateful for is the fact that my isolation includes him. But I know he won't be able to stay away for long. Eventually he'll be back to reclaim what's his and remind me of all the things I hate about him. How he's able to twist fear with pleasure to create the most destructive combination, how it r...
From the time he was bitten by a mosquito at the age of nine months and infected with encephalitis, Mike Henle suffered from a seizure disorder for thirty-seven years—a chronic illness exacerbated by prescription drugs. He finally came under the treatment of a neurologist at Scripps Green Hospital in California and underwent brain surgery on December 6, 1994. After the surgery, Mike went through detoxification from prescription drugs such as phenobarbital. Now, ten years later, Mike’s life has changed in dramatic and simple ways. He can drive a car and not worry about having grand-mal seizures; his thoughts are clear and uncluttered; his self-worth is elevated, as well as his relationships with family members. This book is an account of Mike’s struggles with this disorder and his frustrations through the years of misdiagnoses and maltreatment.
Following the Second Vatican Council, when each Religious Institute was encouraged to research its charism, some Institutes experienced a tension between their charism and their mission, or even difficulty identifying what their charism was. This book is a study of the theological understanding of charism and of mission in relation to Religious Life within the Catholic Church. While this topic has featured in much Roman Catholic theological literature since Vatican II, there appears to be a dearth of in-depth studies. This book addresses this apparent lacuna. It draws particularly on the work of two major theologians, Jean-Marie Roger Tillard OP and Sandra Marie Schneiders IHM, who have refl...

A second section then explores the naturally inter-disciplinary quality of Romanticism, exemplified by the different discourses with which writers of the time set up an internal, comparative dynam...
