Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The romance that started it all… when the Buckley brothers tried to fix up their brother Tucker’s friend Jace—they didn’t know they were next! Eight years ago, just before they were to be married, Lila Willis walked away, believing a lie about Jace Calhoun, and she never came back to Lone Star, Texas, to visit her gram or to chance a glimpse at the man who’d broken her heart. Rancher Jace Calhoun had lost the love of his life because she’d believed the worst of him and left without hearing him out. She had driven out of town and he hadn’t gone after her to try to change her mind. After all, how could he love someone who believed he was that low? That’s how it all began but now, after years of staying away, Lila is back in town to help her injured grandmother, who owns the store next to Jace’s grandfather’s feed store—the place their romance began. And of course, Jace’s large dog, a Weimaraner—or “Weim”—loves to love on people, and makes sure Jace and Lila meet again, right from the start. Jace’s life changed years earlier when the woman he loved left. Now she’s back, so what’s he going to do about it? Enjoy this introduction to Lone Star, Texas, and the Buckley family and all their friends—you’re going to love these cowboys as they find their happily-ever-afters in this small Texas town full of love, laughter, and promises of forever.

Book excerpt: Hatte man sie verkuppelt - und wenn ja, waren es ihrer beider Großeltern gewesen oder die Sperenzchen von Boulder, seinem übermütigen Hund? Kurz vor ihrer Hochzeit verließ Lila Willis vor zehn Jahren Lone Star in Texas und kehrte nie wieder zurück - nicht einmal, um ihre Großmutter zu besuchen. Sie hatte einer Lüge über Jace Calhoun Glauben geschenkt und es seither nie wieder riskiert, dem Mann über den Weg zu laufen, der ihr das Herz gebrochen hatte. Rancher Jace Calhoun verlor so die Liebe seines Lebens, weil sie Schreckliches über ihn geglaubt hatte und gegangen war, ohne ihn anzuhören. Mit dem Auto war sie aus der Stadt geflohen und er hatte nicht versucht, sie umzustimmen. Wie konnte er jemanden lieben, der so schlecht über ihn dachte? So hatte alles begonnen, doch nun kommt Lila zurück in die Stadt, von der sie sich jahrelang ferngehalten hat, um ihrer kranken Großmutter zu helfen, die den Laden neben dem Futtermittelladen von Jace' Großvater führt - jenem Ort, an dem ihre Romanze begann. Und natürlich sorgt Jace' großer Hund, ein Weimaraner, der allen Menschen seine volle Liebe schenkt, dafür, dass sich Jace und Lila gleich zu Beginn wiedersehen. Vor Jahren hat sich Jace' Leben verändert, als die Frau, die er liebte, wegzog. Nun ist sie zurück - was wird er tun? Viel Freude beim Kennenlernen von Lone Star, Texas, der Buckley-Familie und all ihrer Freunde - Sie werden die Cowboys lieben, die in dieser kleinen texanischen Stadt voller Liebe, Lachen und Versprechen für die Ewigkeit ihr Happy End finden.

This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sie hat die Liebe ihres Lebens verloren; nun sehnt sie sich nach einem Neuanfang ohne Herzensangelegenheiten. Er ist auf der Suche nach seiner großen Liebe und erkennt rasch, dass sie hatte, wonach er strebt, doch keinerlei Interesse daran zeigt, ihr Herz noch einmal zu verschenken. Doch ihre süße Tochter hat andere Vorstellungen... Wird Sydney Ross in dieser Stadt mit den freundlichen, herzensguten Bewohnern der Neuanfang gelingen, nach dem sie und ihre Tochter suchen? Ihr Großvater hat ihr sein Haus in Lone Star, Texas hinterlassen; eine Gelegenheit, die sie zunächst nicht ergreifen wollte. Als jemand aus der Stadt wissen möchte, ob er das Haus kaufen kann, um daraus ein Bed & Breakfast zu machen, überdenkt sie ihr Leben und zieht den Wunsch ihres Großvaters in Erwägung. Werden Sydney und ihre geliebte Tochter Hazel in dieser netten Stadt ihr Leben neu in Angriff nehmen und sich vom Verlust des Mannes erholen können, den sie so innig geliebt haben? Würde ihr Großvater recht behalten? Würde dies der Ort für ihren Neuanfang sein? Eins erkennt sie schnell - Hazel liebt ihr neues Zuhause und interessiert sich auffallend für einen gewissen Cowboy, der hinter dem Haus seine Rinder weidet... Dustin Buckley. Dustin neigt zu einer etwas pessimistischen Sicht - insbesondere, wenn es um Frauen geht. Auf dem College hat er gelernt, dass ihm das Geld seiner Familie, über das er nie sprach und schon gar nicht als selbstverständlich ansah, in Liebesdingen im Weg stand. Seither hat er sein Herz verschlossen... bis er die neueste Einwohnerin der Stadt trifft. Eine Frau, an die er unablässig denken muss - und die nichts mit ihm zu tun haben will. Wird im hoffnungsfrohen und sympathischen Lone Star, Texas ein Wunder geschehen? Werden Sydney und Dustin die Liebe entdecken, die auf sie wartet? Wird Hazel bekommen, was sie möchte? Dies ist eine Liebesgeschichte über das Überwinden von Trauer und die Annahme all des Schönen, das das Leben bereithält - geschätzte Erinnerungen, die bewahrt werden und Neuanfänge voller Liebe und Lachen mit einem herzensguten Cowboy.

Download or read book Thieves of State Why Corruption Threatens Global Security written by Sarah Chayes and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-01-19 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2015 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Current Interest. "I can’t imagine a more important book for our time." —Sebastian Junger The world is blowing up. Every day a new blaze seems to ignite: the bloody implosion of Iraq and Syria; the East-West standoff in Ukraine; abducted schoolgirls in Nigeria. Is there some thread tying these frightening international security crises together? In a riveting account that weaves history with fast-moving reportage and insider accounts from the Afghanistan war, Sarah Chayes identifies the unexpected link: corruption. Since the late 1990s, corruption has reached such an extent that some governments resemble glorified criminal gangs, bent solely on their own enrichment. These kleptocrats drive indignant populations to extremes—ranging from revolution to militant puritanical religion. Chayes plunges readers into some of the most venal environments on earth and examines what emerges: Afghans returning to the Taliban, Egyptians overthrowing the Mubarak government (but also redesigning Al-Qaeda), and Nigerians embracing both radical evangelical Christianity and the Islamist terror group Boko Haram. In many such places, rigid moral codes are put forth as an antidote to the collapse of public integrity. The pattern, moreover, pervades history. Through deep archival research, Chayes reveals that canonical political thinkers such as John Locke and Machiavelli, as well as the great medieval Islamic statesman Nizam al-Mulk, all named corruption as a threat to the realm. In a thrilling argument connecting the Protestant Reformation to the Arab Spring, Thieves of State presents a powerful new way to understand global extremism. And it makes a compelling case that we must confront corruption, for it is a cause—not a result—of global instability.

Download or read book Getting Dirty written by Mia Storm and published by . This book was released on 2015-03-13 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dirty A poem by Blaire Leon If sex is dirty, why would I do it with someone I love? If sex is dirty, then didn't we all come from the dirt? What if I like the dirt? What if I want to get dirty? What if I want to roll in the mud until I'm so fucking filthy that I'll never be clean again? When twenty-five-year-old graduate assistant Caiden Brenner asked Blaire Leon how old she was, she said she was a senior. He chose to believe she meant in college. They connect over Lord Byron's Don Juan and, as their conversations become increasingly thicker with sexual innuendo, Caiden finds himself obsessing over a totally off-limits undergrad who's bold, beautiful, brilliant, and one of the most passionate poets he's ever met. But it turns out Blaire hasn't been totally honest. She's the seventeen-year-old valedictorian of her high school class, taking courses at Sierra State while awaiting her acceptance to Stanford. Will Caiden get too deeply into Blaire to back away before he finds out the truth? Or will their connection be enough to seduce him into risking his entire future on Jail Bait? "A thousand and one feels....Getting Dirty is a thrilling, tantalizing forbidden romance you do not want to miss! I not only devoured this book, it devoured me right back!"--Katy Evans, New York Times Bestselling author of REAL

Download or read book On Corruption in America written by Sarah Chayes and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the prizewinning journalist and internationally recognized expert on corruption in government networks throughout the world comes a major work that looks homeward to America, exploring the insidious, dangerous networks of corruption of our past, present, and precarious future. “If you want to save America, this might just be the most important book to read now." —Nancy MacLean, author of Democracy in Chains Sarah Chayes writes in her new book, that the United States is showing signs similar to some of the most corrupt countries in the world. Corruption, she argues, is an operating system of sophisticated networks in which government officials, key private-sector interests, and out-and-out criminals interweave. Their main objective: not to serve the public but to maximize returns for network members. In this unflinching exploration of corruption in America, Chayes exposes how corruption has thrived within our borders, from the titans of America's Gilded Age (Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan, et al.) to the collapse of the stock market in 1929, the Great Depression, and FDR's New Deal; from Joe Kennedy's years of banking, bootlegging, machine politics, and pursuit of infinite wealth to the deregulation of the Reagan Revolution--undermining this nation's proud middle class and union members. She then brings us up to the present as she shines a light on the Clinton policies of political favors and personal enrichment and documents Trump's hydra-headed network of corruption, which aimed to systematically undo the Constitution and our laws. Ultimately and most importantly, Chayes reveals how corrupt systems are organized, how they enable bad actors to bend the rules so their crimes are covered legally, how they overtly determine the shape of our government, and how they affect all levels of society, especially when the corruption is overlooked and downplayed by the rich and well-educated.

Download or read book David King written by Rick Poynor and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring an unjustly overlooked figure in 20th-century British visual culture This book offers a comprehensive overview to the work and legacy of David King (1943-2016), whose fascinating career bridged journalism, graphic design, photography, and collecting. King launched his career at Britain's Sunday Times Magazine in the 1960s, starting as a designer and later branching out into image-led journalism. He developed a particular interest in revolutionary Russia and began amassing a collection of graphic art and photographs--ultimately accumulating around 250,000 images that he shared with news outlets. Throughout his life, King blended political activism with his graphic design work, creating anti-Apartheid and anti-Nazi posters, covers for books on Communist history, album artwork for The Who and Jimi Hendrix, catalogues on Russian art and society for the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford, and typographic covers for the left-wing magazine City Limits. This well-researched and finely illustrated publication ties together King's accomplishments as a visual historian, artist, journalist, and activist.

Download or read book Pay Any Price written by James Risen and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2014 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War corrupts. Endless war corrupts absolutely. Ever since 9/11 America has fought an endless war on terror, seeking enemies everywhere and never promising peace. In Pay Any Price, James Risen reveals an extraordinary litany of the hidden costs of that war: from squandered and stolen dollars, to outrageous abuses of power, to wars on normalcy, decency, and truth. In the name of fighting terrorism, our government has done things every bit as shameful as its historic wartime abuses -- and until this book, it has worked very hard to cover them up. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus. FDR authorized the internment of thousands of Japanese Americans. Presidents Bush and Obama now must face their own reckoning. Power corrupts, but it is endless war that corrupts absolutely.

Download or read book Greetings from Bury Park Blinded by the Light Movie Tie In written by Sarfraz Manzoor and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-03-12 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiration for the smash Sundance hit, soon to be a major motion picture, "Blinded by the Light": The acclaimed memoir about the power of Bruce Springsteen's music on a young Pakistani boy growing up in Britain in the 1970s. Sarfraz Manzoor was two years old when, in 1974, he emigrated from Pakistan to Britain with his mother, brother, and sister. Sarfraz spent his teenage years in a constant battle, trying to reconcile being both British and Muslim, trying to fit in at school and at home. But it was when his best friend introduced him to the music of Bruce Springsteen that his life changed completely. From the age of sixteen on, after the moment he heard the harmonica and opening lines to “The River,” Springsteen became his personal muse, a lens through which he was able to view the rest of his life. Both a tribute to Springsteen and a story of personal discovery, Greetings from Bury Park is a warm, irreverent, and exceptionally perceptive memoir about how music transcends religion and race.

Download or read book A Republic No More written by Jay Cost and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was asked, “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?” Franklin’s response: “A Republic—if you can keep it.” This book argues: we couldn’t keep it. A true republic privileges the common interest above the special interests. To do this, our Constitution established an elaborate system of checks and balances that disperses power among the branches of government, which it places in conflict with one another. The Framers believed that this would keep grasping, covetous factions from acquiring enough power to dominate government. Instead, only the people would rule. Proper institutional design is essential to this system. Each branch must manage responsibly the powers it is granted, as well as rebuke the other branches when they go astray. This is where subsequent generations have run into trouble: we have overloaded our government with more power than it can handle. The Constitution’s checks and balances have broken down because the institutions created in 1787 cannot exercise responsibly the powers of our sprawling, immense twenty-first-century government. The result is the triumph of special interests over the common interest. James Madison called this factionalism. We know it as political corruption. Corruption today is so widespread that our government is not really a republic, but rather a special interest democracy. Everybody may participate, yes, but the contours of public policy depend not so much on the common good, as on the push-and-pull of the various interest groups encamped in Washington, DC.

Download or read book Republic Lost written by Lawrence Lessig and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig investigates the most vexing problem in American democracy: how money corrupts our nation's politics, and the critical campaign to stop it. In an era when special interests funnel huge amounts of money into our government-driven by shifts in campaign-finance rules and brought to new levels by the Supreme Court in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission-trust in our government has reached an all-time low. More than ever before, Americans believe that money buys results in Congress, and that business interests wield control over our legislature. With heartfelt urgency and a keen desire for righting wrongs, Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig takes a clear-eyed look at how we arrived at this crisis: how fundamentally good people, with good intentions, have allowed our democracy to be co-opted by outside interests, and how this exploitation has become entrenched in the system. Rejecting simple labels and reductive logic-and instead using examples that resonate as powerfully on the Right as on the Left-Lessig seeks out the root causes of our situation. He plumbs the issues of campaign financing and corporate lobbying, revealing the human faces and follies that have allowed corruption to take such a foothold in our system. He puts theissues in terms that nonwonks can understand, using real-world analogies and real human stories. And ultimately he calls for widespread mobilization and a new Constitutional Convention, presenting achievable solutions for regaining control of our corrupted-but redeemable-representational system. In this way, Lessig plots a roadmap for returning our republic to its intended greatness. While America may be divided, Lessig vividly champions the idea that we can succeed if we accept that corruption is our common enemy and that we must find a way to fight against it. In Republic Lost, he not only makes this need palpable and clear-he gives us the practical and intellectual tools to do something about it.
