Data Analysis With Python Books

SIX-PACK SERIES BOOK THREE *While this book can be read as a standalone, I'd highly recommend reading books one (Alpha Gray) and two (Alpha Theo) for context before this book* JAX : I'm no stranger to one night stands. Lots of girls want a hook-up with an alpha, so why should this one be any different? Maybe it's because she's the best I ever had. Maybe it's because she refused to tell me anything about herself. We agreed to one night, no strings attached. The problem is, I can't get that night out of my head; I've been obsessed with finding this girl since. When she shows up at the squad complex for training, I feel like it's my lucky day- until my best friend introduces her as his sister and things get... complicated. I can't go against bro code, right? Even if Quinn is my dream girl. Even if there's a crazy attraction between us that's harder to resist every day. I'm so screwed.  ~ QUINN : One night. It was supposed to be one night of anonymous, meaningless with a stranger. I just wanted to have a good time and forget about my cheating ex. It definitely did the trick- I haven't thought about my ex since, but now I can't stop thinking about that night or the sexy stranger who had all the right moves. When I arrive at the complex for a fresh start, I'm shocked to see him again- and even more surprised to find out that he's not only an alpha, but also one of my brother's best friends. Theo would Jax if he found out about that night. He can never know- which means I have to keep my distance. Even if I can't stop fantasizing about Jax. Even if it kills me.

After my mom, Margaret Hale, dies of a heart attack, she starts appearing in my sister Claire Dawson's dreams. In a dream, Mom tells Claire to climb Mount Mistwood before sunrise and burn the entrance ticket for her, or the other ghosts will bully her. Claire doesn't tell me anything. She packs a bag in the middle of the night and forces herself to the summit. While she's gasping her way up that mountain, I'm asleep at home when I suddenly go into cardiac arrest. I wake up in the emergency room with doctors shouting over me. I barely survive before Mom appears in Claire's dreams again. This time, she says skydiving is her last wish. If Claire doesn't do it for her, she won't rest in peace. Claire signs up right away, ignoring everything I say. But then, her parachute refuses to open, and she plummets toward the ground. Luckily, she gets snagged in a tree and walks away without a scratch. Meanwhile, I miss a step going downstairs, tumble to the bottom, end up covered in bruises, and break five ribs. While I'm recovering in the hospital, Mom shows up in Claire's dreams again. Now, she wants Claire to go to the South Pole for her, saying she can finally move on and be reincarnated once Claire completes the trip. Claire doesn't hesitate and books a tour on the spot. While she's taking pictures with penguins, I freeze to death back home during a 104-degree heatwave. Only after I die does it finally hit me that Mom's missions for Claire always end with me on death's doorstep. What I don't understand is how Mom keeps shifting the danger meant for Claire onto me instead. The next time I open my eyes, I'm back on the morning after Mom first appeared in Claire's dream.

Quando a data do meu parto estava se aproximando, descobriram uma grande inconsistência nos registros de armas da família Galante. Então, a liderança tomou uma rápida decisão: Eles decidiram enviar a mim, Sophia Vitale, a esposa do Don, a mulher que eles diziam não ter nada melhor para fazer, para inspecionar pessoalmente o arsenal e verificar o inventário. Eu pensei que fosse só uma checagem de rotina e jamais imaginei que a irmã de criação do meu marido, Monica Leone, fosse aproveitar a oportunidade para explodir todo o arsenal comigo dentro. A explosão foi ensurdecedora. O fogo rasgou o céu. O concreto desabou ao meu redor, esmagando meu corpo enquanto uma dor alucinante rasgava meu abdômen. Mas eu não liguei para o meu marido em sua linha privada de segurança máxima. Em vez disso, enviei um sinal de socorro ao meu pai. Na minha vida passada, no instante da explosão, eu resolvi ligar para a linha de prioridade e chamar o meu marido. Meu filho sobreviveu, mas Monica acabou sendo obliterada na explosão. Meu marido disse que não era minha culpa. Ele falou que Monica era alguém de fora e que seu herdeiro era mais importante. Não poupou despesas e contratou especialistas obstétricos para me monitorar dia e noite. Disse que eu deveria manter a calma e esperar pelo parto. Então, no dia em que entrei em trabalho de parto, ele pessoalmente nos trancou, eu e meu bebê, dentro de um galpão abandonado, encharcado de gasolina, e nos queimou vivos. — Se você não tivesse se atrasado de propósito, ela ainda estaria viva. Você realmente pensou que bancar a inocente iria me enganar? Nem sonhando — ele disse — Você gosta tanto de brincar com fogo, né? Muito bem. Vou deixar você sentir na pele o desespero que ela sentiu naquele dia. Quando abri meus olhos novamente, estava de volta ao arsenal, no exato momento da explosão.

On campus, he was the most well-behaved student in the entire department. Oversized hoodies, black-rimmed glasses, quiet enough to fade into the background. Even when facing the notoriously strict Professor Elliott, he would only lower his head, clutch his books, and murmur a timid, “Professor.” At night, he became the most intoxicating dancer in the club. He wrapped himself around the pole, bent low, rolled his hips—each movement driving the men below into a frenzy. Bills were stuffed into the strap around his thigh as they shouted his name. To cover his obscene tuition fees, he took a private party offering an equally obscene payout. Inside the VIP room, he straddled the pole, bathed in dim, hazy light, fingers reaching for the final restraint he was meant to undo. Suddenly, the man lounging on the sofa stubbed out his cigar and stood. The light swept across his face— It was Elliott. The very man he feared most by day. He walked onto the stage step by step, then slammed him hard against the pole in full view of everyone. “Can’t even breathe in front of me during the day,” Elliott sneered, “but at night you’re here shaking your ass, begging men to f*k you?” His mentor wrenched his arms behind his back. Hot lips brushed his trembling earlobe, his voice low and dangerous. “Noah,” he murmured, “if you’re that desperate for money… why didn’t you just come to me? How much—per night?” He panicked and tried to struggle, but Elliott forced his legs apart with his knee, pinning him against the cold metal. “Don’t hide,” Elliott said softly. “Now. Take off the rest—right in front of me. And if you perform well…” A pause, deliberate. “I’ll pay you ten times tonight’s fee

Na véspera do meu casamento, cheguei cedo à nossa catedral para me familiarizar com o lugar. Em vez disso, encontrei meu noivo e minha meia-irmã, Isabella, transando no altar. No nosso altar. Eu os flagrei. Ele nem sequer se desculpou, apenas me expulsou na tempestade. Eu desmoronei sob a chuva torrencial. Foi então que ele me encontrou. Alistair, o Príncipe Vampiro. Ele se movia pela tempestade como um deus. Ele me tirou da lama e me deu um palácio. Ele contou ao mundo que eu era a sua alma gêmea. Aquela que ele passou séculos procurando. Sua única e exclusiva. Por cinco anos, sua devoção me tornou a inveja do mundo sobrenatural. Eu acreditava ser a única exceção em sua vida eterna. Até eu encontrar seu quarto secreto. Meus dedos tocaram um pergaminho antigo. A escrita era em sangue. A primeira linha era o nome dela: Isabella. Logo abaixo, na caligrafia de Alistair: “Prioridade absoluta. Acima de tudo.” Abaixo disso havia um registro de cura que eu nunca tinha visto. Um registro de cura de vampiros. A data era da noite em que descobri que estava grávida. A noite em que fui atacada por lobisomens. Eles me trouxeram de volta ao castelo, coberta de sangue. Os curandeiros nunca vieram até mim. Acordei sozinha. O bebê tinha desaparecido. Nosso filho. O sangue dele, o meu sangue — desaparecido. E minhas roupas estavam encharcadas com o que restara. Eu limpei cada vestígio. Quando ele voltou para casa, desmoronei em seus braços. Nunca contei a ele. Eu não suportaria que ele sentisse a dor que eu senti. Agora eu entendia. Naquela mesma noite, Isabella também estava sendo atacada por lobisomens. E a ordem de Alistair ao conselho foi: — Enviem todos os curandeiros. Isabella é a prioridade. Meu coração parou. O desespero corria como veneno nas minhas veias. Se eu nunca fui a escolhida… então você pode ficar com sua eternidade. Eu não quero fazer parte disso.

SIX PACK SERIES BOOK SIX ~ *This is the final book in the series. I strongly recommend reading books 1-5 (Gray, Theo, Jax, Brock, & Reid) before reading this one.* CHASE : Two months ago, everything changed. An enemy descended on our territory, a war was fought, and lives were lost. I woke up the next morning as Alpha of my pack, a role I never expected to step into so soon. I learned that I'd been lied to, deceived for half my life by the people closest to me. I couldn't take the pain, so I just shut it all out, descending into a darkness of my own making. And then there she was. Her flame burned so bright that I couldn't resist reaching out to touch it. Taste it. Take it. If she's fire, I'm gasoline- this thing between us chaotic and volatile, bound to set everything and everyone around us ablaze. Still, I can't let her go. If I'm headed for , I'm dragging her with me. ~ VIENNA : Life has never been an easy ride for me, but I've always been resilient. I'm just trying to make my way in the world; trying to build something for myself that nobody can take away. I've got big plans, none of which include getting involved with an arrogant Alpha who thinks he can lay claim to anything he wants. The truth is, Chase doesn't know what he wants- but that doesn't stop him from pulling me into his vortex of destruction, one that I can't escape no matter how hard I try to fight it. I'm no savior, but maybe he doesn't need someone to save him from the darkness. Maybe what he really needs, is for someone to join him there.
