Bedding the Billionaire: Royal Academy


Book Description

Amelia I'm a fraud. There. You heard it. I won't say it again. For all the nannies, private tutors, and attendance at one ultra elite academy, one would think I could learn to act like a princess. They would be wrong. My father, the king, has sent me back to the academy as a punishment. His reasoning? If I couldn't learn to behave myself under such privileged circumstances, perhaps teaching it to others would cure me of my wicked ways. Only this time I am older, wiser, and perfectly willing to tangle with the teachers who once terrified me. I'd especially like to get wrapped up with that new professor who just happens to reside in the room next to mine. I would certainly like to get up close and personal with his dictionary.

Book Description

The first Billionaires in Disguise Romance from USA Today Bestselling Author Blair Babylon. One wild quickie with a sexy stranger will change Rae's life forever. All Rae wanted was to open a clinic for autistic kids. To do a little good in this world. To help some kids who were trapped in darkness and fear. But a statistics class tripped her up. She is losing her scholarship, which means that she's leaving college to go back to her poverty-stricken hometown. It's too late for grants. Too late for loans. No job exists that can pay for college tuition. She's finished, and she has to go back to her family and their repressive beliefs who thought she was better than she ought to be for trying to go to college, anyway. She has three weeks of freedom left. Her friends tell her that there is a job that could help her, the place where they work, where she might be able to make enough cash for tuition because they do. So they take her to an upscale party to meet the guy who runs it, and they tell her all about their boss: his cold, calculating gaze, how he can see through anyone, how no one even knows his real name, and how he might be a psychopath. But Rae doesn't meet their mysterious boss. She meets The Blond Hottie who tells her that his name is Wulf. He's even taller than Rae, probably six feet-four, with a strong jaw and dark sapphire blue eyes, and an athlete's build. If you had three weeks of college freedom left before you went home to your fundamentalist family, what would you do? Rae shoves The Blond Hottie up against a wall in dark bedroom, and then all Hell does break loose. How can one quickie change everything so fast?

The Cult of Smart


Book Description

Named one of Vulture’s Top 10 Best Books of 2020! Leftist firebrand Fredrik deBoer exposes the lie at the heart of our educational system and demands top-to-bottom reform. Everyone agrees that education is the key to creating a more just and equal world, and that our schools are broken and failing. Proposed reforms variously target incompetent teachers, corrupt union practices, or outdated curricula, but no one acknowledges a scientifically-proven fact that we all understand intuitively: Academic potential varies between individuals, and cannot be dramatically improved. In The Cult of Smart, educator and outspoken leftist Fredrik deBoer exposes this omission as the central flaw of our entire society, which has created and perpetuated an unjust class structure based on intellectual ability. Since cognitive talent varies from person to person, our education system can never create equal opportunity for all. Instead, it teaches our children that hierarchy and competition are natural, and that human value should be based on intelligence. These ideas are counter to everything that the left believes, but until they acknowledge the existence of individual cognitive differences, progressives remain complicit in keeping the status quo in place. This passionate, voice-driven manifesto demands that we embrace a new goal for education: equality of outcomes. We must create a world that has a place for everyone, not just the academically talented. But we’ll never achieve this dream until the Cult of Smart is destroyed.
