He's the only one who sees beneath her disguise- now all he has to do is slip her out of it. Lady Aimsbridge isn't at all what she seems- which is helpful, as not seeming like herself is her entire job. All she needs is a little more time so she can free herself from a contract with The Office, the queen's secret organization of henchmen, assassins, and spies. Moreover, she can free herself from Benjamin Havisham, her dangerous spymaster, because every time she reports to him, she falls a little more in love. Benjamin isn't a fool. He knows what lies beneath Lady Aimsbridge's fat girth and purple hair. But as much as he desires the Celeste Fischer who inhabits her skin, he can't have her. She's his employee, and The Office will have him deported or killed if he doesn't toe their strict lines. Besides, no one in his occupation could reasonably expect to enjoy either a long life or happiness. Is love possible when government agencies, villains, and newly-discovered fathers are set against a match? Victorian London has never been so dangerous.

Une conversation Divine quelque peu obligée ... En 2012, l'auteur après avoir fini une formation d'enseignant en développement personnel, Énergie et canalisation a été contraint d'écrire ce livre en moins d'une semaine. Après avoir reçu le message qu'il devait écrire en canalisant Sananda, alors qu'il ne voulait pas, plus aucune inscription ne s'est réalisée dans ses stages habituellement remplis. Il s'est donc exécuté en écrivant comme cela lui venait ou lui était dicté par le Divin. En sept jours, le livre a été écrit et aura été publié à compte d'auteur une première fois en 2012. Parlant d'Unité, aujourd'hui en 2023, ce message est devenu indispensable pour que nous comprenions tous que la nature, les presque huit-milliards d'autres incarnations du Divin sont un et un seul et même champ d'Énergie. Nous avons en nous la guidance Divine mais aussi le pouvoir créatif par nos émotions et nos pensées. Ce livre est une conversation avec le Divin en nous et il ne demande qu'à propager son message auprès de vos amis qui sont prêts aux changements indispensables pour donner au vivant de cette planète une expérience de vie souhaitable en retrouvant l'Unité. Ce livre est un voyage vers votre propre changement de conscience. Je vous aime Frédéric Nous sommes en novembre 2023, plus de dix années ont passé. Aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, le message que j'ai reçu en 2012 est d'actualité. Entre-temps, j'ai aussi mieux compris et ai suivi mon propre chemin. Ce livre parle d'UNITÉ entre tout ce qui est vivant. Ce qui nous empêche de vivre en liberté, ce sont essentiellement les dogmes, notre culture qui implante un logiciel dans notre tête, nous empêchant de vivre notre vie de divinité incarnée ici et maintenant. Les couches de croyances que nous avons accumulées nous empêchent également de vivre pleinement et en paix. Nous avons des perceptions erronées du monde. Ce ne sont pas toujours des croyances religieuses, bien au contraire. C'est souvent la croyance en de fausses limites, notre incapacité à aimer, notre conviction que la vie est dure, difficile, qu'il y a une pénurie partout, alors qu'en réalité, la vie est abondante. Dans mon dernier livre sur l'ego, qui est un tout petit ouvrage comparé à celui-ci, je reprends un message essentiel: vous n'êtes pas ce corps !La réalité que nous avons co-créée n'est que l'aboutissement de nos chemins personnels, souvent inexistants en termes d'éveil, de conscience. Il ne tient qu'à nous de changer aujourd'hui. Ce livre est essentiel, et le coeur du coeur de ce livre est le chapitre 'Le Message', où, en canalisant, je me suis encore plus libéré pour transmettre ce message d'AMOUR pour toute l'humanité... Offrez ce livre à tous ceux qui sont prêts à changer de vie, à évoluer dans leur conscience. Nous avons le défi climatique qui sera résolu par l'Unité. Quand nous aurons compris que l'Indien, l'Africain, l'Américain, l'Européen - des environ 200 pays - sont UN et font partie d'un seul et même champ unitaire, et qu'ensemble nous pouvons créer un monde tout différent... J'ai donné, de 2012 à 2018, de nombreux stages par petits groupes, mais au total, c'est bien maigre pour créer un changement de conscience profond. Alors, je fais ma part en publiant cette 2e édition du livre. Ce message est universel pour tous, quelles que soient vos convictions religieuses ou non, car vous avez de l'Amour en vous, car c'est votre propre nature."Je vous encourage à continuer à partager votre message et à inspirer le changement dans le monde.Je vous aimeFrederic
