Book excerpt: Working with my close friends in our small hometown’s police department has always been my game plan. Focusing on my job with Piper Falls PD and moving up the ranks quickly was my goal, and I’ve reached it. Falling in love was never on my agenda. Until Krissy drops into my life. She’s beautiful. Magnetic. And aloof as anyone I’ve ever seen. She puts up a front that’s impossible to penetrate and runs when people get too close, but I’m not one to give up easily. When Krissy’s dark past comes pounding at her door like a pack of rabid raccoons, my protective instincts flare hotter than the Texas sun. If anyone wants to get close to her, they’ll have to get through me first, and I’m a force to be reckoned with. I took an oath to protect and serve the people of Piper Falls, but I’d lay my life down at the devil’s feet if it means saving hers. Despite my brothers’ concerns for my safety, she’s my endgame. ~ Embracing My Duty is a small-town, open-door, cop romance with graphic and violent themes, domestic and mental abuse (not perpetrated by MMC), and adult content that may not be suitable for all readers. ~

Download or read book Rethinking Punishment written by Leo Zaibert and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The age-old debate about what constitutes just punishment has become deadlocked. Retributivists continue to privilege desert over all else, and consequentialists continue to privilege punishment's expected positive consequences, such as deterrence or rehabilitation, over all else. In this important intervention into the debate, Leo Zaibert argues that despite some obvious differences, these traditional positions are structurally very similar, and that the deadlock between them stems from the fact they both oversimplify the problem of punishment. Proponents of these positions pay insufficient attention to the conflicts of values that punishment, even when justified, generates. Mobilizing recent developments in moral philosophy, Zaibert offers a properly pluralistic justification of punishment that is necessarily more complex than its traditional counterparts. An understanding of this complexity should promote a more cautious approach to inflicting punishment on individual wrongdoers and to developing punitive policies and institutions.

Download or read book The Coach s Forbidden Temptation written by Melony Ann and published by Melony Ann. This book was released on 2024-08-29 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After suffering a career ending knee injury, I’m forced to retire from the Chicago Guardians, the pro NFL team I’ve played with for fifteen years. To say it was heartbreaking is the understatement of the century. Even though I’ve had a great career, I find my way back to my hometown of Brystone Springs, Texas. Brystone Springs University, where I’ve taken a coaching job, is where the trouble begins. I didn’t know that one of the team's All-Stars is the man I had a mind-blowing one-night stand with when I first got back to town. Now, I have to see him every damn day. Kody Remington. He’s stubborn, sassy, and intoxicating as hell. His looks and memories of that night haunt me every waking and sleeping moment. His attitude, though, is appalling and makes me want to take him over my knee. I can’t touch him again, though. Not if I want to keep my job, and he wants to stay in school. One day, everything changes. Suddenly, I don’t give a damn about the consequences. I know we both need each other. What I don’t know is if our intense feelings for one another are strong enough to save us both from forces I don’t even understand.

Download or read book Embrace the Suck written by Col. Austin Bay and published by Bombardier Books. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Members of America’s armed forces have their own distinctive language: milspeak. Especially since WWII, soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines have invented and adapted their own slang vocabularies, creating a colorful insider’s lingo of bureaucratic buzzwords, acronyms, mock jargon, dark humor, and outright profanity. Milspeak gives a unique and touching insight into military life from basic training to the trenches; from the flightdeck to the cockpit. This comprehensive field manual, complete with descriptive and humorous illustrations, includes more than 500 colorful entries including: Voluntold: Derisive slang for “I was ordered to volunteer.” Back to the taxpayers: Navy slang for where a wrecked aircraft gets sent. Dome of obedience: Slang for a military helmet. Also called a brain bucket or Skid Lid. Echelons above reality: Higher headquarters where no one has an idea about what is really happening. Embrace the suck: The situation is bad, deal with it. Embrace the Suck is the perfect gift for the soldier, sailor, marine, or airman in your life—or for the Beltway Clerk* who yearns to speak like one. *Derisive term for a Washington political operative or civilian political hatchet man. May refer to so-called “Washington defense experts” who’ve never served in the armed forces.

Download or read book Honor Yourself written by Patricia Spadaro and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Patricia Spadaro is a marvelous guide through the inner realms of the heart. I always feel uplifted by her words." —Marianne Williamson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Return to Love Honor Yourself: The Inner Art of Giving and Receiving (winner of two national book awards) skillfully guides us through one of the key stressors and paradoxes of our time—how to balance what others need with what we need, how to give and to receive. Should I sacrifice for others or take time to care for myself? Be generous or draw boundaries? Stay in a relationship or say goodbye? When I give to others, do I really need to give up myself? Tensions like these are not only a natural part of life, they are life. But rather than focusing on how to pamper ourselves, Honor Yourself goes to the heart of the problem so you can find real solutions. While modern society is ill-equipped to bring us back into balance, the sages of East and West are experts, and Honor Yourself explores their practical, and surprising, advice. Combining wisdom from around the world with real-life stories and a treasury of tools, it exposes the most potent myths about giving that can sabotage your relationships, career, finances, even your health, without you knowing it. With candor and compassion, it shows how to move beyond the myths to the magic of honoring yourself so you can live a life filled with possibility and passion and give your greatest gifts to your loved ones, your community, and the world. We are called to master the delicate dance of giving and receiving in virtually every area of our lives, and this beautiful work offers empowering and heartfelt ways to do it. It will free you to celebrate your own gifts and greatness as you explore the dynamics behind setting boundaries, being honest about unhealthy people in your life, honoring endings, using feelings to stay true to yourself, finding your own voice, giving with the heart rather than the head, and much more. Just as importantly, Honor Yourself will teach you the steps for staying in balance. For when you learn the steps, you can perform the dance—and that's when the magic begins.
