Book Description
Aliens took me from my life as a high society princess. My body is my only bargaining chip, and my pleasure their currency. When I sat on the rooftop and wished every night that someone would take me away, this isn't what I meant. Now my biggest problems--my stepmom, my dad's expectations--are dwarfed in comparison to my new life. An alien with tentacles and a tail wants to make me his wife. Not just his wife--his queen. And if I give in to my body's desires, I would also be giving up everything I've ever fought for. But he's not the only one that wants me. There are his two bodyguards, both with broad shoulders, big muscles, and blazing eyes. They share everything, and I don't know if that includes me. There's the ship's pilot, a human cyborg with skilled hands and a heart of gold. And of course, there's the assassin chasing us across the galaxy, who seems to be everywhere at once. These men will kill me. Or they will drive me mad with pleasure. Until Earth seems just as alien as they are--and I have to decide where home actually is. CELESTIAL SINS is a science fantasy romance with a group of hot alien heroes and a strong heroine. Fans of Angel Lawson and Ruby Dixon will love this journey to another galaxy.

"Featuring about 150 loans from China's Hubei Provincial Museum, this exhibition, set to open at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco under the name Lost Kingdoms of Ancient China, examines the new finds of Zeng and Chu tombs together to explore the cultural landscape of the southern borderland of the Zhou dynasty. It also reveals the legendary rising story of the phoenix kingdom erased by the Qin, highlighting the importance of the middle Yangtze River region in forming a southern style in Chinese art. For a better understanding of the Zeng and Chu material, the exhibition catalogue consists of seven essays to elaborate the introduction to the remarkable art and culture of this region, with entries of about 150 works in six categories (jade, bronze ritual vessels, musical instruments and weapons, lacquerware for luxury and ceremony, funerary bronze and wood objects, and textiles and artefacts with designs). Seven contributors have written for this catalogue, including five outside scholars with expertise on different subjects"--
