Juliet Dove is a girl who doesn't like to be noticed. But though she may be shy, she has a wickedly sharp wit. Whenever someone does take notice of her, she tears into the person with a savagery that’s earned her the nickname “Killer.” Juliet ends up leaving Mr. Elives’s magic shop with Helen of Troy's amulet—that is, a virtual man magnet.

Yet, much as she’d like to lose all the unwanted attention, she can’t: The amulet won't come off! “Although humorous, the story has surprising depth, with musings on honor, power, strength, courage, and, above all, love.” —School Library Journal “A rare book . . . . Funny [and] absorbing.” —Miami Herald

Juliet Connelly, manager at Furs Hill Animal Rescue, left the man she'd planned to spend her life with three years ago. He betrayed her, took her money, and lied to her, smashing her heart. She’s not willing to risk it again. Love is not on the table. Carlisle Danvers has spent the last six months hiding. His time as a successful actor made him wealthy, but at a price. His heart was shattered. He turned away from the acting world and sought solace in Saffron Springs with his beloved cats, away from fame, away from the intrusive media, away from everything, especially love. When Juliet and Carlisle first meet, she's convinced he's an entitled, difficult actor. So why does she keep thinking about him? All Carlisle wants is to retreat back to his home, his cats, and his quiet life, but the beautiful determined Juliet bothers him. When he accepts a patron’s role at Furs Hill, they find themselves thrown together, and he can’t deny the attraction between them. As they feed abandoned kittens, plan charity events, and learn more about each other, their relationship deepens and dislike morphs into something breathtaking and heart thuddingly scary. Will their blossoming love among the kittens be enough to stop them from pulling back and risking their hearts? Will they give in to their feelings and give true love a chance?

Download or read book Eros written by Bruce S Thornton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eros: The Myth of Ancient Greek Sexuality is a controversial book that lays bare the meanings Greeks gave to sex. Contrary to the romantic idealization of sex dominating our culture, the Greeks saw eros as a powerful force of nature, potentially dangerous and in need of control by society: Eros the Destroyer, not Cupid the Insipid, is what fired the Greek imagination. The destructiveness of eros can be seen in Greek imagery and metaphor, and in their attitudes toward women and homosexuals. Images of love as fire, disease, storms, insanity, and violence—top 40 song clichés for us—locate eros among the unpredictable and deadly forces of nature. The beautiful Aphrodite embodies the alluring danger of sex, and femmes fatales like Pandora and Helen represent the risky charms of female sexuality. And homosexuality typifies for the Greeks the frightening power of an indiscriminate appetite that threatens the stability of culture itself. In Eros: The Myth of Ancient Greek Seualily, Bruce Thornton offers a uniquely sweeping and comprehensive account of ancient sexuality free of currently fashionable theoretical jargon and pretensions. In its conclusions the book challenges the distortions of much recent scholarship on Greek sexuality. And throughout it links the wary attitudes of the Greeks to our present-day concerns about love, sex, and family. What we see, finally, are the origins of some of our own views as well as a vision of sexuality that is perhaps more honest and mature than our own dangerous illusions.

Download or read book City of Capital written by Bruce G. Carruthers and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1999-12-19 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "While many have examined how economic interests motivate political action, Bruce Carruthers explores the reverse relationship by focusing on how political interests shape a market. He sets his inquiry within the context of late Stuart England, when an active stock market emerged and when Whig and Tory parties vied for control of a newly empowered Parliament. Probing such connections between politics and markets at both institutional and individual levels, Carruthers ultimately argues that competitive markets are not inherently apolitical spheres guided by economic interest but rather ongoing creations of social actors pursuing multiple goals." -- BACK COVER.
