And what better way to take a break from her life than a trip to Las Vegas? But life doesn’t always go as expected, and what was supposed to be a fun, carefree weekend turns into so much more. Getting married to a stranger definitely wasn’t part of her plan. No matter how much she’s attracted to the man she just met. Some Call It Devotion What would you do if you found out that you’re married but can’t remember your wedding? Kinsley Fitzgerald thought the hardest part of getting married was planning the wedding. Turns out it’s getting divorced from the man she can’t remember saying yes to. Tracking down her husband was easy. Getting him to sign the divorce papers isn’t. Because Landon West has an agenda: He’ll sign the papers if she lives with him for twenty-one days. If she still wants to get a divorce at the end, he’ll give it to her. Running out of time and options, she agrees to the deal and realizes her mistake as soon as she’s moved in. Because what if she doesn’t want their marriage to end once the twenty-one days are up? But that isn’t an option. She’s engaged to another man, and they’re getting married in less than three months. She has three weeks to decide, and he’s determined not to make it easy. This is the fourth book in the Sweet Dreams series and can be read as a standalone. Some Call It Attraction He grew up with champagne and caviar. She grew up with burgers and boxed wine. But they became best friends anyway. Grayson Jones was always certain that Rayna Montgomery would be in his life forever. They were as opposite as two people could get, but it didn’t stop them from becoming inseparable. When a lie tears them apart, Rayna is heartbroken but certain that walking away is the right thing to do. Years later, Rayna lands a role as a contestant on a reality TV show. The last person she expects to run into on set is Grayson, reminding her of the easy friendship they once had. And the feelings they both tried so hard to ignore resurface. And this time, they refuse to stay buried. What will Grayson do when he finds out the reason Rayna left all those years ago? Because she can’t walk away a second time. Not even when being with him could get her kicked off the show. This is the fifth book in the Sweet Dreams series and can be read as a standalone. Spark Keeping things professional has never been harder (pun intended). Glenys never thought she’d end up in a quirky little town called Humptulips. And she definitely never expected to feel an instant connection with a handsome and funny stranger who seems to have a slight tea doily fetish. The only problem: he’s her coworker, and once they find out, they agree to keep things strictly professional. But she can’t stop thinking about the man who haunts her every waking moment. But is a man she barely knows worth risking her dream job for? Note from the author: In order not to get kicked out of the good (okay goodish.... fine, sometimes good) girls club, I’d like to point out that this is a steamy romcom and my characters use bad language (sometimes) and like to get it on.

Download or read book Airpower in Literature written by Kimberly K. Dougherty and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-08-08 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first century of airpower has ended, yet few critics have addressed the literature that chronicles its human toll. Airpower in Literature: Interrogating the Clean War, 1915-2015 offers fresh insight into this airpower century by placing literature of five major wars in conversation with the clean war discourse. Kimberly Dougherty examines the paradoxical representation of aerial warfare that has allowed extensive airstrikes on cities and civilians while promising a “cleaner” method of waging war. First suggested by early military theorists, the notion of a clean air war—one that would save lives through its speed and precision— proved seductive in the twentieth century and continues to shape the rhetoric of airpower today. The air war is perceived as clean, the author argues, when we see neither the aviator nor the targeted populations in the bombing dynamic. Through analysis of fiction, poetry, drama, and journalism, from the ruins of World War I to the technologies of post-modern war, the author identifies counternarratives that make visible both aviators and bombed societies, and present aerial warfare that is not clean, but messy, prolonged, and imprecise. This exploration encourages readers, and writers, to approach the next century of airpower with greater wisdom and empathy.

Download or read book WOMEN S WRITINGS IN THE NINETEENTH AND TWENTIETH CENTURIES written by TAISHA ABRAHAM and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-03-11 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended as a text for undergraduate students of English for their course on Women’s Writings in the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries, this compact and well-organized book provides both the history of the development of the short story in America and Britain and a comprehensive introduction to the modes on critical practices based on feminist thinking. It takes into account the strategies used by women writers, and discusses the politics of reception and production keeping especially the gender issue in mind. The text is divided into three parts—Part I: Introduction—containing two chapters that deal with the development of the American short story and the resurgence of radical feminism in America. These provide the historical and the feminist frame within which the short stories by the Anglo American Women’s Writers should be read. Part II gives four short stories: Kate Chopin—The Story of An Hour; Charlotte Perkins Gilman—The Yellow Wallpaper; Willa Cather—Coming, Aphrodite!; and Katherine Mansfield—Bliss. Each short story is preceded by a critical introduction, detailed references for further reading, and a biographical time line. Part III comprises three critical essays which provide sharp insights into the period in which the four women writers were writing. This book will be treasured not only by students but also by those who wish to study critically the feminist writings of the period. In addition, it will enrich readers’ understanding of American and British literary history and culture. The critical introduction to each short story traces the development of the form from its origins, both historically and in terms of female literary contributions to its development. The chapter on Radical Feminism is mapped in the context of social, political and cultural development. The book provides historical, literary and biographical contexts of the writers and their short stories.
