Was he a shy guy…or playboy? They met at the airport. He wore a suit and carried a briefcase. He seemed quiet, a little shy. Definitely not the type to flirt with a fellow passenger—even if she was famous actress Rosalind Marlow! His name, Roz discovered, was Luke James. She was determined to discover more about him…such as why he appeared to be following her. And was he as innocent as he seemed? What he really needed was a lesson in flirtation—and, on impulse, Roz decided to be his teacher! Luke was a fast learner. In fact, Roz soon discovered that he didn't need lessons at all. He could teach her plenty about the art of seduction! "Susan Napier is a whizz at stirring up both breathtaking sensuality and emotional tension."—Romantic Times

Book Description

Popular philosopher and leftist rabble-rouser Slavoj Zizek looks at one of the most desperate situations of our time: the current refugee crisis overwhelming Europe In this short yet stirring book, Slavoj Zizek—called “the Elvis of cultural history” by The New York Times—argues that accepting all comers or blocking all entry are both untenable solutions . . . But there is a third option. Today, hundreds of thousands of people, desperate to escape war, violence and poverty, are crossing the Mediterranean to seek refuge in Europe. Our response, from our protected Western European standpoint, argues Slavoj Zizek, offers two versions of ideological blackmail: either we open our doors as widely as possible; or we try to pull up the drawbridge. Both solutions are bad, states Zizek. They merely prolong the problem, rather than tackling it. The refugee crisis also presents an opportunity, a unique chance for Europe to redefine itself: but, if we are to do so, we have to start raising unpleasant and difficult questions. We must also acknowledge that large migrations are our future: only then can we commit to a carefully prepared process of change, one founded not on a community that see the excluded as a threat, but one that takes as its basis the shared substance of our social being. The only way, in other words, to get to the heart of one of the greatest issues confronting Europe today is to insist on the global solidarity of the exploited and oppressed. Maybe such solidarity is a utopia. But, warns Zizek, if we don't engage in it, then we are really lost. And we will deserve to be lost.

Book Description

Black Mountain Academy's bad boy. That's who Reese Trenton was, or at least how people perceived him. He came from the "wrong side of the tracks" with a perpetual scowl on his face, a body like a god, and the arrogance to match.He was a rough around the edges kind of delinquent, but smart enough he'd gotten a full ride to BMA. And he piqued Keira's interest in the worst-or maybe best-kind of way. He had her wanting to throw that good girl persona she carried right out the window.He had her wanting to be just as rebellious as he was.He knew too much about life, got drunk, and started far too many fights. And Keira wanted him like she'd never wanted anyone before.They say opposites attract, and it seemed that was the pulling force that brought Reese and Keira together.Heated touches.Passionate kisses.Filthy, secret intimacy.They shared it all together and grew addicted for more.He thought he was broken, too battered for a girl like her. Keira wanted to show Reese that despite the cracks he wore, the scars he sported, they were meant to be together.But not everyone thought Reese and Keira should be together, and as the drama and chaos erupted, as people tried to rip them apart, they realized their loyalty and love for each other had never been put to the test more than it had now.Reader note: This story was previously published as Giving it to the Bad Boy. It has been completely rewritten, re-edited, and new content added throughout the entire story. Basically... it's a brand new book set in the elite world of the BMA series.
