About this book

CITY OF SIN For beautiful 18 year old Cassandra Brougham, the seething city of Genoa, Italy, seemed a world away from the great 18th-century English estate where she was raised--and the closest she had ever come to purgatory. Cassie was no longer an innocent when she arrived there with 34 year old Lord Anthony Welles, the brutally handsome aristocrat who had seduced and stolen her from her intended, 26 year old Edward Lyndhurst. Still, she was not prepared for what awaited her in this foreign place where she was being held captive by a lover who swore he would conquer her heart as he had conquered her body. Thus Cassie's trial by the fire of passion began--as the man she detested made her a slave of desire...as an unknown enemy wreaked revenge upon her...and as she desperately plotted a way to cross the seas to a man she no longer could be sure she loved...

Bakemonogatari: Monster Tale

The first part of the Monogatari Series. There’s a girl at their school who is always ill. She routinely arrives late, leaves early, or doesn’t show up at all, and skips gym as a matter of course. She’s pretty, and the boys take to whispering that she’s a cloistered princess. As the self-described worst loser in her class soon finds out, they just don’t know what a monster she is. So begins a tale of mysterious maladies that are supernatural in origin yet deeply revealing of the human psyche, a set of case files as given to unexpected feeling as it is to irreverent humour. (Source: Kodansha USA) Note: The English release and the JP ebook edition have Bakemonogatari split across three volumes, instead of the original two volumes.
