When she moves in with her brother’s roommate and his group of friends, Scarlett feels like she’s really in for it. She couldn’t get Nolan Jones out of her head while living thousands of miles away from him, so how could she possibly forget him now that she’s back in Boston?

Book excerpt: Il est son connard de demi-frère. Et il va la rendre folle… Depuis des années, Jayden ne revient au domicile familial qu’en de rares occasions, et ça convient très bien à Ambre. Moins elle voit son insupportable demi-frère, mieux elle se porte ! Alors, quand elle apprend que Jayden-le-connard s’est fait virer de sa fac et qu’il est de retour à San Francisco, elle se prépare à vivre un été cauchemardesque. Jayden s’est toujours montré froid et méprisant avec elle, et ça n’a pas l’air d’avoir changé. Mais désormais, elle le découvre aussi viril, fascinant, terriblement sexy… Et si son été devenait finalement bien plus intéressant… ? *** – Il ne se passe rien entre nous. T’es ni ma meuf ni ma pote. T’es rien, alors maintenant, si tu n’es pas capable de mettre de côté un écart malheureux qui n’a pas compté, je ne peux rien faire pour toi. – T’es un connard, craché-je en le retenant avant qu’il ne rentre dans la maison. Et que tu le veuilles ou non, on est coincés dans la même famille pendant encore très longtemps. Faudra t’y faire. Ta « sœurette », elle ne risque pas de te lâcher. Je le bouscule pour passer à sa place, retirant mes chaussures en vitesse pour me réfugier dans ma chambre. – T’es pas de ma famille, balance-t-il dans mon dos quand je suis en bas des escaliers. Tu ne seras jamais de ma famille, Ambre. Je fais volte-face, la main prête à s’écraser avec fracas contre sa joue, mais, au lieu de ça, mon poignet est rattrapé au vol, et c’est une bouche qui me cloue sur place. Chaude, douce mais hargneuse. Jayden attrape ma nuque et enfouit une main dans mes cheveux, ravalant au passage le gémissement rauque que ma gorge a produit dès que ses lèvres ont emprisonné les miennes. Je m’accroche à son tee-shirt avec force, l’obligeant à encercler mes hanches de son bras libre pour nous empêcher de tomber dans les escaliers. Notre baiser est urgent et désordonné. Ma respiration est catastrophique et j’ai du mal à reprendre mon souffle, mais je préfère m’étouffer en l’embrassant plutôt que le repousser. *** Can You Keep a Secret ?, de Lou Garance, histoire intégrale.

Now with eighteen, the day Aria has been dreading for years is looming dangerously: her wedding to Luca.

Book excerpt: I can’t borrow him. He’s not a sweater or a skirt. He’s not even her favorite dress—the lucky one she wears on first dates. The one she probably wore on her first date with him. In my defense, I didn’t know who he was. To me, he was a cool, calm, confident stranger. He was perfection for the entire hour and a half train ride while the concrete jungle turned into a rolling green landscape. To an outsider, we probably appeared more friends than hopeful lovers. But my blush came quickly, and his dimples indented with every smile. We definitely shared a spark of what could be. Too bad I didn’t know who he was before I fell for him, because he can’t be mine. ** If you received the incorrect book (Wild Steamy Hook-up) we apologize.

Download or read book The Archaeology of Colonialism written by Claire L. Lyons and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2002 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Archaeology of Colonialism demonstrates how artifacts are not only the residue of social interaction but also instrumental in shaping identities and communities. Claire Lyons and John Papadopoulos summarize the complex issues addressed by this collection of essays. Four case studies illustrate the use of archaeological artifacts to reconstruct social structures. They include ceramic objects from Mesopotamian colonists in fourth-millennium Anatolia; the Greek influence on early Iberian sculpture and language; the influence of architecture on the West African coast; and settlements across Punic Sardinia that indicate the blending of cultures. The remaining essays look at the roles myth, ritual, and religion played in forming colonial identities. In particular, they discuss the cultural middle ground established among Greeks and Etruscans; clothing as an instrument of European colonialism in nineteenth-century Oceania; sixteenth-century Andean urban planning and kinship relations; and the Dutch East India Company settlement at the Cape of Good Hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I’m not the same Bebe Grimshaw I was years ago. The woman I was spent years behind the bars of the highest security women’s prison in the nation, my punishment for hacking nuclear codes as part of a crime syndicate I’d gotten in way too deep with. The woman I am today doesn’t regret what I did, or the fact that I got caught, but I am remorseful for the years I lost with my son, Aaron. Released from my sentence early thanks to Kynan McGrath, I joined his team at Jameson Force Security and now put my skills to use helping people. I’m just trying to get back a piece of what I lost, focusing solely on raising Aaron and my work at Jameson. As long as I have my son and my career, I’m content. But life has a funny way of letting you know exactly what you need, and when a devastatingly handsome stranger named Griffin befriends Aaron at the park, I have to consider I might be missing something. A part of me that was locked away long ago reawakens, and I find myself looking at Griff in a way I’ve not looked at a man in more than a decade. Just when I think things are starting to look up, my world is turned upside down. Turns out that meeting wasn’t an accident, and things aren’t going my way at all. Griffin Moore is the man sent here to kill me.

Download or read book Tetum Ghosts and Kin written by David Hicks and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2003-08-12 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second edition of this study of religion and kinship in East Timor, David Hicks argues that reproductive rituals and ideas regarding fertility and gender direct the notion that for the Tetum-speaking people of Caraubalo suku, in the district of Viqueque, life and death derive from the same source. This source is the world of the ancestral ghosts (the mate bein). The soul of a person (the klamar mate) who has died becomes transformed by ritual action into an agency for life-affirming fertility, that is, an ancestral ghost, and it is from the ancestors that fertility, which sustains life down the generations, originates. Incorporated into this complex of ideas regarding life, fertility, gender, and death, are two recreational institutions, cockfighting and kick-fighting, which Dr. Hicks argues are ritualized manifestations of fertility and infertility respectively, as well as gendered aspects of the sacred (lulik) and secular (sau) worlds. In addition to contributing to the comparative study of ritual and indigenous notions of reproduction, the second edition of Tetum Ghosts and Kin: Fertility and Gender in East Timor, provides an ethnographic portrait of village life among a people whose traditions were about to be abruptly devastated by war and conquest. In a summary retrospect he outlines the events that overtook the East Timorese between the time of his first period of fieldwork and East Timors becoming a nation on May 20, 2002, and concludes with a brief description of the present condition of Caraubalo.

Download or read book Country Dark written by Chris Offutt and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A smart, rich country noir” from the acclaimed author Kentucky Straight and The Good Brother (Stewart O’Nan, bestselling author of Henry, Himself). Chris Offutt is an outstanding literary talent, whose work has been called “lean and brilliant” (The New York Times Book Review) and compared by reviewers to Tobias Wolff, Ernest Hemingway, and Raymond Carver. He’s been awarded the Whiting Writers Award for Fiction/Nonfiction and the American Academy of Arts and Letters Fiction Award, among numerous other honors. His first work of fiction in nearly two decades, Country Dark is a taut, compelling novel set in rural Kentucky from the Korean War to 1970. Tucker, a young veteran, returns from war to work for a bootlegger. He falls in love and starts a family, and while the Tuckers don’t have much, they have the love of their home and each other. But when his family is threatened, Tucker is pushed into violence, which changes everything. The story of people living off the land and by their wits in a backwoods Kentucky world of shine-runners and laborers whose social codes are every bit as nuanced as the British aristocracy, Country Dark is a novel that blends the best of Larry Brown and James M. Cain, with a noose tightening evermore around a man who just wants to protect those he loves. It reintroduces the vital and absolutely distinct voice of Chris Offutt, a voice we’ve been missing for years. “[A] fine homage to a pocket of the country that’s as beautiful as it is prone to tragedy.”—The Wall Street Journal “A pleasure all around.”—Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter’s Bone
