Lisa Kleypas has always transported her readers to places where dreams really do come true. Now join her in Victorian London, a world of seemingly effortless beauty and grace that is governed by the strict rules of etiquette and behavior...where a single forbidden kiss can force a woman to choose between society's demands -- and her own heart's desire.
Zachary Bronson has built an empire of wealth and power -- now he needs a wife to help secure his position in society...and warm his bed in private. But not just any woman will do for a man whom all of London knows is not a gentleman. Then he unexpectedly swept Lady Holly Taylor into his arms for an unasked for -- but very alluring -- kiss, and suddenly he knew he had found a woman whose fierce passions matched his own.
Lady Holly Taylor was beautiful, generous, and, as a widow, destined to spend her life playing by society's rules, even when they went against her bolder instincts. But Zachary's kiss had aroused her, and though the shocking offer he made didn't include marriage, she was compelled to risk everything and follow him to the place where dreams begin.

Story "Whisper in Silent Lake"

By: Arizky Rachmad Sudewo

Near my house, there is a lake that very silent. My neighbours called it Silent Lake. “There is story inside of its water,” said my mother. “What kind of story of it? Why that lake is so mysterious?”I said to my heart  with full of curiosity.

***

At  Silent Lake, we can feel so peace and serenity, there is no something that can disturb us. We can feel that there is no animals, humans, or plants are living in that lake .  All of living thin

gs just like should be silent if they enter Silent Lake.

Sssssttt... I ever go there, of course without my mother permission. I don’t know why my mother always avoid me to go there. In fact, there is no something dangerous there. The Lake is so beautiful with clear blue water and zinnia flower which is growing around the lake. “I love it. Yeah, this is my land,” shout me to the sky. Since that time, I always go to the Silent Lake to refresh my mind. I can sing. I can running. I can do anything at that lake.

The tragedy happens when the rains come. When the rainy storm makes my house just like a hell.

“How many times i said to you hah?

“What’s wrong Mom? I know I never make you happy with my score. But this is me. I prefer do something that I love.” My mother and I are shouting each other angrily at that time. Until I runaway from my house and reach Silent Lake,  without memorize my Mom’s advice about never go to the Silent Lake when the rains come.

***

The rainy delivers stories about hopeless person that died in this lake. Just same with me, another hopeless person that cut my life in this lake. “Just go...and keep our secrets in this lake,” whisper a beautiful girl that lead me to the center of the lake. “ I’m sorry Mom.” Said me, when the water reach my head, and save all of stories inside of it. Save the stories about lake where suicides are happened.

Quotation "Dreams"

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. 



All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. :)

I don't design clothes, but I design dreams. ^^

Dreams have only one owner at a time. That's why dreamers are lonely.


I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.

Judge of your natural character by what you do in your dreams.  ^-^

People need dreams, there's as much nourishment in 'em as food.  *_*

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.  ^_^

Reality is wrong, but dreams are for real.^^

We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort. :)

Baby Bolivian Dolphin

The Baby Dolphin looks so pale and miserable. We must take care about others around us, RIGHT NOW!!!Before all of it be gone.

The Bolivian river dolphin comes equipped with a flexible body that allows it to make its way through the tree
roots of flooded forests.
All three South American river dolphin species compete for habitat with fishers who sometimes use the dolphin as bait, according to WWF. But, the new report goes on to state that the primary threat to the Bolivian dolphin is mercury pollution from small-scale gold mines.
This baby was rescued in the summer of 2010 in the Pailas River, a tributary of the Rio Grande, when drought led to lower-than-usual water levels.
