Re Leopold di Lilleforth guida bene il suo regno. È bello, intelligente e affascinante. Non meraviglia che i reami vicini siano ansiosi di fornirgli una principessa da sposare. Ma c'è un solo problema: a Leo le principesse non interessano. I suoi gusti sono piuttosto rivolti verso gli aitanti giovani maschi a cui piace essere sculacciati. Felix Hobson ha lasciato il reame di Lillefoth da adolescente per imparare a fare lo stalliere. Lontano da casa aveva imparato molto, ma non tutto aveva a che vedere con i cavalli, anche se i frustini c'entravano quasi sempre. Ormai adulto, Felix è tornato a casa per assumere il suo ruolo ufficiale di stalliere reale, con la speranza di numerose opportunità per rotolarsi nel fieno. Quando Felix scambia Leopold per un ladro di cavalli e prova a sedurlo, Leopold è deliziato dall'irriverente e attraente giovane, e volano scintille. La loro relazione è solo uno scherzo fino a che entrambi non si ritrovano all'improvviso innamorati alla follia. Ma ciò che c'è tra loro non può durare, vero? Dovranno superare una principessa in visita, un tentativo di assassinio e un rapimento se vogliono avere la possibilità di scoprirlo.

With the abundance of conflicting advice out there, it's easy to see why people struggle with dieting. Dieters want clarity, they want to be told what to do. Women's Health contributing editor and author of The O2 Diet and The Slim Calm Sexy Diet Keri Glassman gives readers the be-all-end-all: 8 simple rules to lose the weight for good.

While what we eat is very important (and The 8 Rules Diet includes a step-by-step, 8-week meal plan, full of real foods that are nutrient dense and antioxidant rich) —that's just one part of a successful weight-loss strategy. Keri walks readers through the other all-important rules to get stronger, calmer, healthier, more balanced and yes, thinner.

Each rule is connected to and supports the others. The more you sleep, the more energy you have at the gym, the more weight you lose. The more you choose nutrient-dense food, the more focused your workouts become, the deeper you sleep. Using common-sense wisdom and easy, practical application, The 8 Rules Diet shows you how to make connections between these rules to totally reset your body's compass. Including a cleanse to jumpstart the diet, detailed menus, recipes, and tons of simple tips to stay on track, Keri walks readers through the only 8 rules they'll ever need to know to find their best body ever.

The Art Institute of Chicago, although renowned for its holdings of works by the French Impressionists, also houses a wealth of superb examples by American proponents of this distinctive style. The breadth of the museum's collection of American Impressionism is rich, with a substantial body of paintings and watercolors by Winslow Homer, who is seen today as a precursor to Impressionism, as well as impressive portfolios of work by Americans living in Europe, such as James McNeill Whistler and John Singer Sargent, and the only American who was officially part of the French group, Mary Cassatt. In addition, important paintings and watercolors by notable artists such as Cecilia Beaux, William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, George Inness, Mauric Prendergast, and John Twachtman are included, along with handsomely reproduced images by lesser-known artists who worked in the Impressionist vein.
