A Duke, the Lady, and a Baby

A Multi-Cultural Historical Regency Romance

By: Vanessa Riley

Named a “Must Read” by Oprah Daily, Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times, Vulture, NPR, Woman’s World and more, the first installment in award-winning author Vanessa Riley’s swoon-worthy Rogues & Remarkable Women series is now available in mass market! This groundbreaking, empowering, sexy Regency romance featuring a recently widowed Afro-Caribbean heiress and a dashing Duke is perfect for the Bridgerton binge-watcher and fans of witty historical romance by authors such as Julia Quinn, Evie Dunmore, and Eloisa James. “Smart and witty . . . the perfect historical read.” —Julia Quinn, #1 New York Times bestselling author It’s challenging for a widow, especially one who’s fallen from grace, to find true love again—or perhaps for the very first time. When headstrong West Indian heiress Patience Jordan questioned her English husband's mysterious suicide, she lost everything—most devastatingly, her newborn son, Lionel. Falsely persecuted, she risks her life to be near him, disguising herself in order to be hired as her own son’s nanny. But working for his unsuspecting new guardian, Busick Strathmore, Duke of Repington, has perils of its own. Especially when Patience discovers his strictness belies an ex-rake of unswerving honor—and unexpected passion . . . A wounded military hero, Repington is determined to resolve his dead cousin’s dangerous financial dealings for Lionel’s sake. But that’s a minor skirmish compared to dealing with the forthright, courageous, and alluring Patience. Somehow, she's breaking his rules, and sweeping past his defenses. Soon, between enemies and obstacles, they form a fragile trust—but will it be enough to save the future they long to dare together? “Vanessa Riley at her finest.” —Sarah MacLean, New York Times bestselling author “I was delighted. Readers on the lookout for Black or disabled characters in historical romance will not want to miss this.” —New York Times Book Review “One of the best historicals I’ve read in years.” —Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author “Expertly crafted romance.” —Publishers Weekly, STARRED review

The WAR Series Books 1-3

By: Vanessa Kier

Justice. Atonement. Second chances. Meet the men and women of the WAR series. They came to West Africa seeking justice, atonement, and second chances. None of them planned to stay. But when the maelstrom of the local rebellion sucks them into a fight for their lives, they’re forced to decide how far they’re willing to go in order to survive, to protect the innocent…and to find love. The titles included in this volume are: WAR: DISRUPTION - BOOK 1 WAR: INTRUSION - BOOK 2 WAR: OPPOSITION - BOOK 3 WAR: DISRUPTION He’s been trained for war, but nothing prepared him for love. Max Lansing is convinced someone deep inside the military is protecting an international arms dealer. Every time they get close, the target slips through their fingers. Desperate to catch the man who almost killed his brother, Max strikes out on his own to protect his old black ops team, but quickly finds himself under fire from every direction. Because of his choices, a group of American dancers gets caught in the crosshairs and blood is shed. Max grabs the sole survivor, and runs. Former prima ballerina Emily Iwasaki was promised her trip to West Africa to help raise awareness for war orphans would be safe. In a flurry of gunfire, everyone around her is killed and she finds herself on the run with a stranger she’s not sure she can trust, but the sizzling chemistry between them can’t be denied. Stakes are raised. A weapon of mass destruction must be recovered. Max has no choice but to work with Emily or thousands more innocents will die. In the midst of the jungle, with rebels hot on their heels, a costly mistake leaves Emily in danger and alone. Max will do anything to save the woman he now loves, even walk away from the vengeance he promised his brother. WAR: INTRUSION He’s trained to kill. She’s trained to heal. Their definitions of right and wrong are about to be challenged. WAR team leader Lachlan MacKay has tracked smuggled weapons to a West African clinic and his number one suspect is the doctor running it. His first problem. He doesn’t trust doctors. His second problem. He’s really attracted to this doctor. But he’s determined to ferret out the truth before more innocent lives are lost. In a remote corner of war-torn West Africa, trauma surgeon Dr. Helen Kirk is desperate to leave her past behind her. After months spent repairing her reputation, she’s one step from returning to the hospital work she loves. When Lachlan MacKay shows up at her clinic digging for secrets, Helen finds herself drawn into the middle of a deadly plot intended to destroy the community she loves so dearly. Faced with imminent death, Helen and Lachlan must decide if their beliefs are worth dying for… or if their love is worth living for. WAR: OPPOSITION He hardened his heart to survive. But now the rules have changed. Now it’s about more than survival. Now it’s about her. Bush pilot Seth Jarrod is trapped in the complicated web of West African rebels. Obey every order, or they kill his niece. Each mission they require strips away a piece of his soul and he’s getting awfully close to losing what he has left. Up-and-coming singer-songwriter Kirra Neilson is on her way to a benefit concert when her bus is attacked by rebels searching for stolen diamonds. All the passengers are being systematically searched and killed and she’s next in line. Using skills she promised herself she’d left in the past, Kirra slips her cuffs and escapes. But eluding armed men on foot is only possible for so long. Fate intervenes and Kirra finds herself face to face with a man who makes her heart sing, something she never thought she’d feel again. Together they must find a way to stay alive, save the people at the benefit concert, keep Seth’s family safe, and keep the diamonds out of rebel hands. If you like dark, gritty, edge-of-your-seat action, strong heroes and heroines who are pushed to their physical and moral limits, and an international setting, then you’ll love Vanessa Kier’s romantic thriller series, WAR.

Murder in Berkeley Square

By: Vanessa Riley

Offering “a vibrant picture of the roles Black and mixed-race people played in Regency life” (Publishers Weekly), this unique historical mystery series, featuring a mixed-race heroine with a notorious past, will appeal to Bridgerton fans who want a sharper edge to their drama. A marriage of convenience saved Lady Abigail Worthing’s family from disgrace, but she’s finding her absent husband's endless conditions increasingly repressive. Unable to stay at their London home during the oncoming winter, she accepts a ride to the country from her neighbor, Stapleton Henderson. However, she's less than delighted that she’s his excuse to avoid a dinner held by Lord Charles Duncan, one of London's most powerful—and relentless—magistrates. More irritating, women are decidedly unwelcome at the evening’s prestigious discussion of criminality—even though Abigail and Stapleton have solved several cases together . . . Then an unexpected blizzard strands them at Lord Duncan’s with his now-houseguests. Suddenly, an evening of fine dining, fine brandy, and insightful debate becomes an inescapable—and deadly—ordeal. The ultimate test for Abigial’s skill. One of the dinner guests is found dead in front of the Berkley Square mansion. And when another party is murdered, Abigail discovers each had received a taunting, prophetic nursery rhyme . . . coincidence, or clues left by a killer on the loose? Through deft interrogation, she learns everyone present is connected to Lord Duncan's greatest failure in the courts: the conviction of a Martinique plantation informant for a murder he didn’t commit. But as Abigail races to find who was really responsible for the miscarriage of justice, she'll be forced to put her own and Stapleton's lives at risk in a gambit that will alter their fates forever—or end them permanently.

A Gamble at Sunset

By: Vanessa Riley

Award-winning author Vanessa Riley turns all convention on its head for the first in an enchanting, dazzlingly diverse new Regency romance trilogy featuring a duke, three sisters, and a tantalizing bet with a most desirable reward... When a duke discovers the woman he loves was tricked into marrying another, the master chess player makes the now-widowed Viscountess the highest-stakes wager of his life in a last-ditch effort to win her affection: he will find husbands for her two sisters—or depart forever. Thus begins a sparkling new series from acclaimed author Vanessa Riley. Georgina Wilcox, a wallflower with hidden musical talents, is furious when her reclusive older sister—the recently widowed Viscountess—refuses sorely needed help from the Duke of Torrance, the only gentleman who has shown kindness to the bereft Wilcox sisters. Georgina decides to get back at her sister and shock the Viscountess by kissing the first willing stranger she meets in the enchanting gardens of Anya House. Unfortunately, her sister is not the sole witness. A group of reporters and the ton’s leading gossips catch Georgina in a passionate embrace with a reticent composer, Lord Mark Sebastian. The third son of an influential marquis, the tongue-tied Mark is determined to keep the scandal from ruining Georgina’s reputation and his own prospects of winning the celebrated Harlbert’s Prize for music. Under the guise of private voice lessons, the two embark on a daring gamble to fool the ton into believing that their feigned courtship is honorable while bolstering Georgina’s singing genius to captivate potential suitors. Sexist cartoons, family rivalries, and an upcoming ball test the fake couple’s resolve. Will their sudden fiery collaboration—and growing attraction—prove there’s nothing false about a first kiss and scandalously irresistible temptation?

Dream Cruising Destinations

24 Classic Cruises Mapped and Explored

By: Vanessa Bird

Most yachtsmen dream about cruising to an exotic destination; this is the book that will turn dreamers into planners. 24 classic cruises are fully mapped, measured and costed, showing how they are perfectly possible whatever your skill level. From weekend cruises around the British Isles to a voyage to Antarctica, and from Greek island cruises to an escape to the Virgin Islands, this book explores where to go, why, how to get there and what to expect en route. The book breaks down each cruise into important considerations, such as what type of boat is needed, what level of skill or qualifications are required, whether it is a suitable journey to undertake with a young family, what possible dangers might influence any decision (from extreme weather to the threat of piracy), and most obviously, cost. Covering popular, exotic cruising destinations such as Thailand and the Virgin Islands, as well as unexpected, almost secret routes along the US Intracoastal Waterway and French canals, as well as proper adventures (including both Atlantic and Pacific crossings), this inspirational may be the starting point for the voyage of a lifetime.

Oshun's Daughters

The Search for Womanhood in the Americas

By: Vanessa K. Valdés

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Oshun's Daughters

The Search for Womanhood in the Americas

By: Vanessa K. Valdés

Examines the ways in which the inclusion of African diasporic religious practices serves as a transgressive tool in narrative discourses in the Americas. Oshuns Daughters examines representations of African diasporic religions from novels and poems written by women in the United States, the Spanish Caribbean, and Brazil. In spite of differences in age, language, and nationality, these women writers all turn to variations of traditional Yoruba religion (Santería/Regla de Ocha and Candomblé) as a source of inspiration for creating portraits of womanhood. Within these religious systems, binaries that dominate European thoughtman/woman, mind/body, light/dark, good/evildo not function in the same way, as the emphasis is not on extremes but on balancing or reconciling these radical differences. Involvement with these African diasporic religions thus provides alternative models of womanhood that differ substantially from those found in dominant Western patriarchal culture, namely, that of virgin, asexual wife/mother, and whore. Instead we find images of the sexual woman, who enjoys her body without any sense of shame; the mother, who nurtures her children without sacrificing herself; and the warrior woman, who actively resists demands that she conform to one-dimensional stereotypes of womanhood.

Slave Trade and Abolition

Gender, Commerce, and Economic Transition in Luanda

By: Vanessa S. Oliveira

Well into the early nineteenth century, Luanda, the administrative capital of Portuguese Angola, was one of the most influential ports for the transatlantic slave trade. Between 1801 and 1850, it served as the point of embarkation for more than 535,000 enslaved Africans. In the history of this diverse, wealthy city, the gendered dynamics of the merchant community have frequently been overlooked. Vanessa S. Oliveira traces how existing commercial networks adapted to changes in the Atlantic slave trade during the first half of the nineteenth century. Slave Trade and Abolition reveals how women known as donas (a term adapted from the title granted to noble and royal women in the Iberian Peninsula) were often important cultural brokers. Acting as intermediaries between foreign and local people, they held high socioeconomic status and even competed with the male merchants who controlled the trade. Oliveira provides rich evidence to explore the many ways this Luso-African community influenced its society. In doing so, she reveals an unexpectedly nuanced economy with regard to the dynamics of gender and authority.

The Girl from

Based on a True Story

By: Vanessa Voth

In the late 1920s, Stalin was determined to turn Russia into a “Soviet Paradise”. For thousands of Russian Mennonites that meant exorbitant taxes, arrest, forced labour, losing their farms and businesses, and even losing their lives. With their faith in God and little else, Nikolai and Kaethe Penner fled for their lives with their toddler Maria, praying to find a way to leave Russia alive. Later joined by Kaethe’s parents and her brother, the two families set off on a journey that ultimately took them half way around the world. Their faith in God and their love for each other sustained them through the difficult years as they built a community, and a life, from nothing. Years later, young Maria falls in love with Jacob, a persistent young Mennonite boy, despite his lack of faith in God. Together they raise their four children before deciding to immigrate to Canada where a whole new life awaits them. Based on true events as told by the author’s grandmother, The Girl from No. 6 shows us the resilience of families that have lost everything and must start over. It also speaks to the support of an unwavering faith that everything happens for a reason, even when it seems the world is crumbling away around you.

The Lagos Wife

A Novel

By: Vanessa Walters

This lush and suspenseful Good Morning America Book Club pick “will have you glued to every page” (HuffPost) as it follows a woman to Nigeria to uncover what happened to her missing estranged niece…no matter the cost. Previously published as The Nigerwife. Nicole Oruwari has the perfect life: a handsome husband, a palatial house in the heart of Lagos, and a glamorous group of friends. She left gloomy London and a troubled family past behind for sunny Lagos, becoming part of the Nigerwives—a community of foreign women married to Nigerian men. But when Nicole disappears without a trace after a boat trip, the cracks in her alleged perfect life start to show. As the investigation turns up nothing but dead ends, her auntie Claudine decides to take matters into her own hands. Armed with only a cell phone and a plane ticket to Nigeria, she digs into her niece’s life and uncovers a hidden side filled with dark secrets, isolation, and even violence. But the more she discovers about Nicole, the more Claudine’s own buried history threatens to come to light. Offering a razor-sharp look at the bonds of family, the echoing consequences of secrets, and whether we can ever truly outrun our past, The Lagos Wife “is a gripping work of suspense, a psychological puzzle, a mystery, and a critique of marriage and high society” (Shelf Awareness).

Captain Cook

By: Vanessa Collingridge

A uniquely woven story encompassing three separate centuries and three different lives. Captain Cook, best known for his heroic voyages through the Pacific Ocean, is brought to life in vivid detail. We follow his humble beginnings as the son of a farm labourer, through his convention-shattering treatment of the indigenous groups he met on his travels, and then onto his final tragic voyage which signalled the end of his revered reputation. One hundred years on from the death of Cook, another great man, George Collingridge begins his own adventure. He, like Cook was oblivious to the implications his journey would have. Along the way he unfolds ancient maps, secret tales and unearths hidden lands and buried treasure. He is also said to have realised that it was not Cook who discovered Australia - it was the Portugese. This firm belief was the eventual cause of his self-destruction. Another hundred years later Vanessa Collingridge, is searching for books on her lifelong hero Captain Cook in a university library. She discovers the name of a distant cousin, George Collingridge, in a dusty card index. And so a new journey of discovery begins - in the footsteps of her hero and his nemesis.

Art A La Carte: First Nations Gr. 4-7

By: Vanessa Isitt

This creative unit introduces the arts of First Nations peoples from North America, Asia, Egypt and Australia. These step-by-step, guided art lessons impart the basic styles and shapes used by each culture as well as exploring the special use of color, particular to each culture. One preferred strategy is for the teacher to demonstrate the steps with students following along creating a "rough draft". This allows students to make mistakes and practice the various techniques resulting in a better final product. Although each lesson stands on its own, it is better to teach them in order, as the techniques being explored become progressively more difficult. This Art lesson provides a teacher and student section with a variety of step-by-step student projects and evaluation to create a well-rounded lesson plan.

The Invention of Exile

The Invention of Exile

By: Vanessa Manko

Austin Voronkov is many things. He is an engineer, an inventor, an immigrant from Russia to Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1913, where he gets a job at a rifle factory. At the house where he rents a room, he falls in love with a woman named Julia, who becomes his wife and the mother to his two children. When Austin is wrongly accused of attending anarchist gatherings his limited grasp of English condemns him to his fate as a deportee; retreating with his family to his home in Russia, they become embroiled in the civil war and must flee once again, to Mexico. While Julia and the children are eventually able to return to the United States, Austin becomes indefinitely stranded in Mexico City because of the black mark on his record. He keeps a daily correspondence with Julia as they each exchange their hopes and fears for the future and as they struggle to remain a family across a distance of two countries. Austin becomes convinced that his engineering designs will be awarded patents, thereby paving the way for the government to approve his return and award his long sought-after American citizenship. At the same time he becomes convinced that an FBI agent working for the House Committee for Un-American Activities is monitoring his every move, with the intent of blocking any possible return to the United States. Austin's and Julia's struggles build to crisis and heartrending resolution in this dazzling, sweeping debut. The novel is based in part on Vanessa Manko's family history and a trove of hidden letters that serve as a kind of inheritance-letters from a grandfather she never knew. Manko uses this history as a jumping-off point for the novel, which deals with themes of exile and invention and explores how loss reshapes and transforms lives. It is a profoundly moving story of family, history, and the meaning of home"--

Secrets of a Fortune Cookie

A Memoir

By: Vanessa S. Yang

What constitutes a good parent, and when do they go too far? We often hear stereotypes associated with strict Asian parenting, and yet, although the accreditations on paper are known to many, still we find ourselves wondering, But at what costs? Secrets of a Fortune Cookie: A Memoir describes the harrowing journey of author Vanessa Yang, a young woman of Chinese descent, who was born in Singapore and educated in schools across the globe. She experienced a traditional Asian-style upbringing, with no consideration to social development. As a strictly raised Chinese Singaporean expatriate student in international schools, she was also influenced by her friends and peersand their Western ideals. Her mothers relentless Eastern upbringing, dominated by an isolated focus on academics alone, was not a productive fit to a teenagers growing desires to fit in and find encouragement and love. These disparate experiences and lifestyles were the seeds of her vicious teen rebellion against everything her parents honored, and it was these acts of defiance that ultimately climaxed her insecurities. Satirically funny and heartrending by turns, her story of independent self-discovery brings to light, the aptly pondered detriments of the causes and consequences of stereotypical Asian-style parenting. In the end, the clash of cultures she and her sisters faced drove her to resort to drastic measures in order to find the love and confidence she never received at home. A remarkable memoir with valuable life lessons, Secrets of a Fortune Cookie offers an inspiring look at a young womans turbulent past.

Getting on with Your Life with Ms

A Guide to Taking Charge of Your Health

By: Nancy E. Mayo PhD,Vanessa Bouchard PhD

Multiple sclerosis comes with a multitude of symptoms that affect people daily. The same way you manage your bank account or your house, you need to keep on top of how MS affects your life. In Getting On with Your Life with MS, authors Dr. Vanessa Bouchard and Dr. Nancy E. Mayo present a guide to help you take action so that you are in charge and MS is not. Bouchard and Mayo focus on helping you manage four important aspects of your life: dealing with medical issues in collaboration with your doctor and other members of the health care team; coping with the sometimes-disabling effects of MS; understanding how your emotions respond to changes in your life because of an MS diagnosis and its symptoms; and realizing the roles you play in life may change or evolve with MS for you and your family members. Getting On with Your Life with MS gives advice on becoming an effective MS self-manager and helps you develop a set of skills around problem-solving, decision-making, making best use of existing resources, working with your health care team, and developing action plans specifically tailored for different aspects of your MS experience. Evidence shows that taking a self-management approach improves your confidence in dealing with MS and improves your overall health and quality of life.

LEARN FRENCH FOR CHILDREN'S

LEARN FRENCH FOR CHILDREN'S

By: Vanessa Bush

You would like your children to speak French one day? Why not start when they are toddlers? As a parent to a French English bilingual child, here are my tips to help your kid learn French efficiently. Keep it fun! Although many parents' first reaction is to hire the help of a tutor, I believe a one hour weekly exposure to a tutor is not going to do much for a toddler or a young kid. Kids learn by repetition - constant repetition - and learning a language is not different. The best solution would be to hire a French nanny to speak with them all day, or move to France - but this is not an option for most of us!! And what about the ever so sought after French playgroup? I never found one myself, so good luck with that... So, in the end, the best tutor for your kid will have to be you and this book to help you with the basic of speaking and writing French!

Growing up in All Saints Village, Antigua

The 1940S – the Late 1960S

By: Emily Vanessa Spencer Knight

This book is intended for persons living in Antigua in general but more particularly for those living in All Saints at present and to give some historical background of the All Saints I knew growing up there during the nineteen forties to the late sixties. The vast developments which have taken place on all sides since then have changed the features of the village altogether. It should not be regarded as a complete history of All Saints of the Forties and Sixties, but recollections only, of this Author. I trust that it will trigger some interest, arouse curiosity to the extent that it will encourage someone to do some research and pick up from where I have left off.

Black Rights in the Reconstruction Era

Black Rights in the Reconstruction Era

By: Vanessa Holloway

Most observers and historians rarely acknowledge the history of civil rights predating the twentieth-century. The book Black Rights in the Reconstruction Era pays significant scholarly attention to the intellectual ferment—legal and political—of the nineteenth-century by tracing the history of black Americans’ civil rights to the postbellum era. By revisiting its faulty foundational history, this book lends itself to show that, after emancipation, national and local struggles for racial equality had led to the encoding of racism in the political order in the American South and the proliferation of racism as an American institution.Vanessa Holloway draws upon a host of historical, legal, and philosophical studies as well as legislative histories to construct a coherent theory of the law’s relevance to the era, questioning how the nexus of race and politics should be interpreted during Reconstruction. Anchored in the Reconstruction Amendments, Supreme Court decisions and landmark statutes of the 1860s and 1870s—the Black Codes, the Freedmen’s Bureau, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Reconstruction Acts, the Enforcement Acts, and the Civil Rights Act of 1875—Black Rights in the Reconstruction Era offers a new perspective on the political history of law between the years 1865 and 1877. It is predominant in the ongoing debates on social justice and racial inequality.
