But he learned how to play the game and survived, crawling his way up with the help of a friend-turned-lover. This time was different: he has nobody to blame but himself for his trip to the bottom. And this time, he doesn't have anyone to help him, not when his own selfishness killed the most important relationship he ever had. Courtney Williams' life wasn't exactly what she had planned but she was happy. It wasn't glamorous and it wouldn't lead to fame and fortune, but she of all people knows there are more important things in life. And, for the most part, she's been able to forget what could have been--until Harland rolls back into town, full of attitude designed to hide the man underneath. But he can't hide from her, the one person who knows him better than anyone else. They had been friends. They had been lovers. And then they had been torn apart by misunderstanding and betrayal. But some ties are harder to break. Can they look past what had been and move forward to what could be? Or will the sins of the past haunt them even now, all these years later?

Book excerpt: Not all fairy tales end in happily-ever-after… Sebastian "Wolf" Wood. Former soldier. Medic. Loveable, loyal...and lethal. He knows better than anyone that appearances can be deceiving and he has no problem exploiting his cover-model good looks to get what he wants, especially when it's for the success of a mission. He's done it before, he'll do it again—until the one mission where the tables get turned by a storybook beauty whose bite is worse than her bark and who leaves him trying to figure out what's real—and what's an illusion. Peyton Richards is getting a second chance at her big break—a chance most people would kill for. But her excitement at making a comeback is overshadowed by her irrational attraction to the man hired to watch over her—a man who looks like he'd be more at home on a California beach than as a bodyguard. A man who seems to relish butting heads and irritating her at every turn while stealing kisses that leave her breathless. A man who's entirely too comfortable in a glittering world where everyone is pretending to be someone else. When a publicity stunt goes terribly wrong and it becomes obvious that someone wants Peyton out of the picture—permanently—it's up to Sebastian to keep her safe. To do that, he needs to breach her defenses and show her that it's what you can't see that's real—and if he fails, it's only a matter of time before the game of fantasy and make-believe lures them into a nightmarish hell of lies, deceit...and death.

Download or read book The Black Athlete as Hero written by Joseph Dorinson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-11-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part history, part biography, this study examines the Black athlete's search to unify what W.E.B. DuBois called the "two unreconciled strivings" of African Americans--the struggle to survive in black society while adapting to white society. Black athletes have served as vanguards of change, challenging the dominant culture, crossing social boundaries and raising political awareness. Champions like Joe Louis, Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, Wilma Rudolph, Roberto Clemente, Althea Gibson, Arthur Ashe, Serena Williams, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James make a difference, even as many in the Black community question the idea of athletes as role models. The author argues the importance of sports heroes in a panic-plagued era beset with class division and racial privilege.
