Book excerpt: Halloween night, a game of truth or dare, and the one man she can’t have… With Halloween night to herself, all Mysta wanted was a quiet evening in the library. Tucked away behind the stacks of books, she tries to ignore her attraction to the man she had to leave behind to save her family—fox shifter and manager of the library, the deliciously addicting Viktor—her tattooed, fantasy man. It’s clear Viktor wants her too, and neither his flirting nor the distracting shimmer of desire in his eyes make him easy to ignore. And with Viktor’s best friend egging them on, Mysta knows she’s in deep trouble… So when the boys suggest a game of truth or dare to pass the time, and then up the ante by adding a roll of the dice, Mysta can’t bring herself to refuse. Each roll exposes them in more ways than one—more hot, sexy, delicious ways—but uncomfortable truths, and long-buried desires, are revealed. Viktor has always wondered why his mate, Mysta, disappeared, and now he’s going to find out. But can he outfox the woman who’s an expert at slithering away?

Every few months, Violet Watson meets up with Colin Samuels and Mackenzie Scott, two pro football players whose skill on the field is only outdone by their expertise in the bedroom. The rules mean no promises. No limits on the creativity or the passion. And no questions. Violet is a strong professional woman, not some sports team groupie, and she keeps the wildness of her sex life with them carefully separate from her personal life. Only Colin Samuels and Mackenzie Scott want more. The sex between the three of them has always been blazing hot, but wanting love and commitment? That’s breaking the rules. Rules that Violet set…and now rules she’s torn over. Because it’s clear Colin and Mac are looking for far more than wild sex, and keeping her in their lives is now their ultimate goal. Colin dominates the field and the bedroom. Along with Mackenzie, his teammate and lover, Colin has everything he could ever want…almost. He has riches, fame, an island home, but he doesn’t have Violet. She has always thrown up walls between their ménage and her personal life, keeping the two carefully separate to protect her career and her ability to live her life with no one to answer to. But if the three of them are to have anything deeper, Colin knows he must break through those walls. A sexy game with questions might be the only way to get the curvy and beautiful Violet to finally open up to them, not just physically, but emotionally, and let them deeper into her life. Mackenzie warns that they are taking a huge chance pushing for more, but Colin has never been one to shy away from risk. This might be their final chance to make her theirs forever… Reader note: a stand-alone story containing MMF bisexual menage, BBW heroines, sports stars, very hot romance elements, male male love, and a happily ever after

Book excerpt: From the Hugo and Nebula award-winning author of the science fiction masterpiece Dune, Frank Herbert's The Dragon in the Sea is a riveting thriller of a submarine crew trapped in the depths of the sea, hunted by one of their own. In the endless war between East and West, oil has become the ultimate prize. Nuclear-powered subtugs brave enemy waters to tap into hidden oil reserves beneath the East's continental shelf. But the last twenty missions have never returned. Have sleeper agents infiltrated the elite submarine service, or are the crews simply cracking under the pressure? Psychologist John Ramsay has gone undercover aboard a Hell Diver subtug. His mission is to covertly observe the remainder of the four-man crew—and find the traitor among them. Sabotage and suspicion soon plague the mission, as Ramsay discovers that the stress of fighting a war a mile and a half under the ocean exposes every weakness in a man. Hunted relentlessly by the enemy, the four men find themselves isolated in a claustrophobic undersea prison, struggling for survival against the elements . . . and themselves. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book The Royal Semi Authoritarian Democracy of Bhutan written by Dhurba Rizal and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book puts into plain words a changing dimension of politics in a traditional regime and offers an insight into the emerging transition to royal, semi-authoritarian democracy in Bhutan. Bhutan represents a political system which coalesces the rhetorical acquiescence of democracy with illiberal authoritarian attributes under the former royalist shadow. Royal democracy is a myth and only paints the frontage of democracy. The smokescreen of this kind of authoritarian regime is not yet democracy but is instead a new form of semi-authoritarian rule. The political reforms in Bhutan were orchestrated by the “traditional regime and elites in a traditional society” as a tightly controlled, top-down process without devolution of power outside the regime. Royal Democracy can best be understood as an attempt to construct a political regime that impersonates democratic institutions but works outside the logic of political representation and seeks to repress any vestige of genuine political pluralism. Exploring the authoritarian logic behind the democratic rhetoric is especially important for Bhutan, which is today glorified by the UN as “The Mecca of Gross National Happiness” and depicted by many as a model of top down democracy on popular media and in academia. Holding State controlled elections alone does not create a cure for deeper political, economic, and social predicaments besetting Bhutan and does not create a solid foundation for democratic transition. The glitter of royal, semi-authoritarian democracy is a “Jigmecracy,” an old Jigme’s system with new labels, a classic case of transition from a traditional regime in a traditional society.

Download or read book Approaches to Teaching Jacobs s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl written by Lynn Domina and published by Modern Language Association. This book was released on 2024-07-13 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most commonly taught slave narratives, Harriet Jacobs's Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is rightly celebrated for its progressive and distinctive appeals to dismantle the dehumanizing system of American slavery. Depicting the abuse Jacobs experienced, her years in hiding, and her escape to the North, the work evokes sympathy for Jacobs as a woman and a mother. Today, it continues to inform readers about gender and sexuality, power and justice, and Black identity in the United States. Part 1 of this volume, "Materials," discusses different editions of the work and suggests background readings. The essays in part 2, "Approaches," explore Jacobs's literary techniques and influences, drawing on autobiography theory, medical humanities, and theology, among other perspectives. Contributors also propose pairings with historical and recent literary works as well as teaching approaches involving visual arts, geography, archives, digital humanities, and service learning.

Download or read book Sat America and the Cold War written by Fintan Hoey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using recently released archival material from the US and Japan, this book critically re-examines US–Japanese relations during the tenure of Satō Eisaku, Japan’s longest serving prime minister. During these critical years in the Cold War in Asia, with the Vietnam War raging and the acquisition by China of a nuclear capability, Satō closely aligned with the US. This directly contributed to his success in securing the reversion of Okinawa and other Japanese territories which had remained under US control since Japan’s surrender at the end of World War II. To accomplish this he was also forced to conclude secret agreements with President Richard Nixon, including one on nuclear weapons, which are explored fully. Satō faced the challenge of the Nixon administration’s attempts to shore up the relative decline in American power with policies at odds with allied interests. Satō successfully overcame such challenges and also laid the groundwork for Japan’s anti-nuclear policy.

Download or read book Hein Donner written by Alexander Münninghoff and published by New In Chess. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hein Donner (1927-1988) was a Dutch Grandmaster and one the greatest writers on chess of all time. He was born into a prominent Calvinistic family of lawyers in The Hague. His father, who had been the Minister of Justice and later became President of the Dutch Supreme Court, detected a keen legal talent in his son. But Hein opted for a bohemian lifestyle as a chess professional and journalist. He scored several excellent tournament victories but never quite fulfilled the promise of his chess talent. Hein Donner developed from a chess player-writer into a writer-chess player. His provocative writings and his colourful persona made him a national celebrity during the roaring sixties. His book ‘The King’, a fascinating and often hilarious anthology spanning 30 years of chess writing, is a world-wide bestseller and features on many people’s list of favourite chess books. The author Harry Mulisch, his best friend, immortalized Hein Donner in his magnum opus The Discovery of Heaven. In 2001 the book was adapted for film, with Stephen Fry playing the part that was based on Donner. Included in Hein Donner is the interview in which Harry Mulisch tells about his friendship with Donner. After suffering a stroke at the age of 56, Donner lived his final years in a nursing home. He continued writing however, typing with one finger, and won one of the Netherlands’ most prestigious literary awards. Alexander Münninghoff has written a captivating biography of a controversial man and the turbulent time and age he lived in.
