Books with author A.A. Ward

Sometimes love just isn’t enough. When a man has given his all only to constantly be tortured with mistakes of his past it drives him to a place that is hard to return from. Brian Ward is the poster child for a bad boy looking to rebuild his image. He is the loving father of two amazing kids and a wife he would DIE for. Brian’s one downfall is being in the public eye day to day and having the temptation of stepping out on his wife. Somehow he has to find a way to balance his work life and personal life all while pleasing his wife. But, a woman scorned is a dangerous thing to play with. Love, Lies, Lust, Deception, and Betrayal are all on the horizon.

Excerpt from The Works of Mrs. Gaskell, Vol. 6 of 8: With Introductions; Sylvia's Lovers, EtcThis is, perhaps, enough of a description of the town itself. I have said that the country for miles all around was moorland; high above the level of the sea towered the purple crags, whose summits were crowned with greensward that stole down the sides of the scaur a little way in grassy veins. Here and there a brook forced its way from the heights down to the sea, making its channel into a valley more or less broad in long process of time. And in the moorland hollows, as in these valleys, trees and underwood grew and flourished; so that, while on the bare swells of the high land you shivered at the waste desolation of the scenery, when you dropped into these wooded bottoms you were charmed with the nestling shelter which they gave. But above and around these rare and fertile vales there were moors for many a mile, here and there bleak enough, with the red freestone cropping out above the scanty herbage; then, perhaps, there was a brown tract of peat and beg, uncertain footing for the pedestrian who tried to make a short cut to his destination; then on the higher sandy soil there was the purple ling, or commonest species of heather growing in beautiful wild luxuriance. Tufts of fine elastic grass were occasionally to be found, on which the little black faced sheep browsed; but either the scanty food, or their goat-like agility, kept them in a lean condition that did not promise much for the butcher, nor yet was their wool of a quality fine enough to make them profitable in that way to their owners. In such districts there is little population at the present day; there was much less in the last century, before agriculture was sufficiently scientific to have a chance of contending with such natural disqualifications as the moors presented, and when there were no facilities of railroads to bring sportsmen from a distance to enjoy the shooting season, and make an annual demand for accommodation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
