Download or read book Subject X written by Emma G. Hunter and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent Harvard graduate Charlotte Kane tends to be the most practical person in the room. A self-proclaimed nerd and former tomboy, Charlotte still isn't used to the world's reaction to her since she traded in her sweatpants and hoodies for skinny jeans and sundresses. And she's just begun to settle into her new job as a research assistant at a prestigious biotech powerhouse, Philadelphia's Genesis Life Systems, when Owen Becker walks into the subject waiting room. Owen Becker is pure, distilled masculinity. He's also been the subject of a shadowy Genesis research study for twenty-seven years—a classified one now run solely by Charlotte's prickly and secretive boss. With just one glance at Charlotte Kane, Owen knows he has to have her. But he fears that the secret behind his study might be too much for the new researcher to understand—and far too dangerous for her or anyone else to know about. When a chance accident on their second date reveals something unbelievable about Owen Becker, Charlotte's world is turned entirely upside-down. As she struggles to reconcile what she's learned about her irresistible new boyfriend with everything she knows to be true about science and the world she lives in, her lingering dislike of her new boss shifts into something more like suspicion. Determining that he's up to something dark—and that Owen is at the center of that something—Charlotte is forced to test the limits of what she's willing to do for love and lust.

Book excerpt: In a follow-up to her 2012 memoir, "Summoning My Inner Ballerina: Balancing Love and Loss, Family and Friends, Life and Politics," author Paula Mack Smith explores her rocky journey as she navigates through the deaths of two of her closest family members. The first was the unexpected death of her brother Warren, just a few months after the publication of her memoir. The second was that of her older son, Michael, six months later. Both deaths left her floundering in her grief, the ballerina temporarily toppled, heart-broken and spent. It was only through writing and sharing her memories and stories in black and white that she could begin to come to terms with those tragedies and regain a semblance of her former optimism. By learning to concentrate on "what remains" instead of what was lost, the little ballerina found her will to continue onward. By sharing her painful journey, the author hopes to help others do likewise. To see that there is, after all, light at the end of the tunnel and joy following terrible losses.

At twenty-five, she's already lost the love of her life and is content to focus on her job snapping shots of Chicago's MLB team instead of her lovelife. But Maggie's thrown a curveball when the team signs Tommy Mikals, a tattooed hotshot whose talent for making plays is matched by a playboy reputation.

But as their pretend relationship plays out in the spotlight, real feelings come into play. Maggie's already loved and lost, Tommy's never learned to commit: Can they even make it past first base?
