Emilia Gallo knows darkness. She has been abused and controlled by it for her entire life. Trapped in the clutches of an evil, criminal stepfather, with only her selfish, weak mother on her side she is alone and constantly afraid of what each new horror-filled day will bring. She has learnt from a young age to survive in this hellish existence, but when her stepfather lands the ultimate blow - selling her to the Albanian Mafia - she knows it's only a matter of time before her monsters truly win the battle she has spent her whole life fighting, and break her. But an unexpected opportunity for escape gives Emilia the chance she needs to flee her fate and she grabs onto it with both hands. Armed with very little cash, few belongings and a letter that details a possible hope for her future, she ventures into a world she has been sheltered from and knows very little of. There she finds new friends, a job and a home she can feel safe in for the first time in her life, but what she really wants is family - someone to love her. When she tracks down Nico, the brother she never knew existed, she finds that family she had always longed for, and so much more. Lincoln, Parker and Jax - Nico's brothers and teammates - are instantly attracted to Emilia from the moment they meet her, and she falls for them too. They make her feel safe and whole in a way she has never known and can't explain. She wants them all - needs them - but these retired Navy SEALs are not men who share. With her monsters close on her heels, a confusing attraction to three guys, and the trauma of her horror filled past making a normal life impossible, Emilia finds her new beginning isn't all she had hoped it would be. She thought she had left behind the danger and fear of her past, but as it stalks closer she realizes she can never escape it. Will she be strong enough to fight it with her new found family, and the men she is fast falling for, at her side?

Robin’s got everything it takes to be a principal dancer: the body, the feet, the strength and the passion. But his devil-may-care attitude plays havoc with discipline at the Premier Dance School. One more prank may be one too many. That’s why everyone is shocked when he’s the only student dancer picked to understudy with the company, even though the choice makes sense—Robin is cast as Puck, the annoying trickster fairy in A Midsummer’s Night Dream. Shock turns to horror when the principal dancer is injured and Robin has to perform instead. The other dancers don’t think he can pull it off, and even Robin wonders if it’s too much too soon. Will his big break kill his career before it even starts?

NORMAN CAMERON, Ph.D. Professor of Psychiatry Yale University School of Medicine Here is an intensely practical book that gives specific illustrations of how therapy can be implemented in play contacts, and tells how the toys of the playroom can be vivid performers and aids in growth.

This volume contains the best of David Edgar's work from the 1970s. The Jail Diary of Albie Sachs is an adaptation of the famous South African writer's diaries and deals with solitary confinement and loneliness - "a remarkable, persuasive picture." (Observer) Mary Barnes is based in a commune in the sixties and focuses on schizophrenia "promulgating the theory that schizophrenia can be effectively treated through behaviourist methods alone" Saigon Rose tackles venereal disease and is "intriguing and entertaining...Edgar handles his themes - loss of innocence and a sense of betrayal - in a bitty, playful style laced with black comedy" (Independent) O Fair Jerusalem deals with the black death. Destiny deals with the loss of Empire and the rise of fascism in contemporary Britain - "A play which astonished me with its intelligence, density, sympathy and finely controlled anger."

"In this spellbinding book, journalist Ed Caesar takes us into the world of elite marathoners: some of the greatest runners on earth. Through the stories of these rich characters, like Kenyan Geoffrey Mutai, around whom the narrative is built, Caesar traces the history of the marathon as well as the science, physiology, and psychology involved in running so fast for so long. And he shows us why this most democratic of races retains its brutal, enthralling appeal--and why we are drawn to test ourselves to the limit, "--Amazon.com.

Are national legal cultures in Europe converging or diverging as a result of the pressures of European legal integration? Åse B. Grødeland and William L. Miller address this question by exploring the attitudes and perceptions of the general public and law professionals in five European countries: England, Norway, Bulgaria, Poland and the Ukraine. Presenting new findings, they challenge the established view that ordinary citizens and people working professionally with the law have different legal cultures. Their research in fact reveals that the attitudes of citizens in Eastern and Western Europe towards 'law-in-principle' are remarkably similar, whereas perceptions of 'law-in-practice' differ by country and often correlate with GDP per capita and country ranking in rule of law indices. Grødeland and Miller's innovative methodological approach will appeal to both experts and non-experts with an interest in legal culture, European integration, or European elite and public opinion.

Published posthumously in 1964, A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway's most beloved works. Since Hemingway's personal papers were released in 1979, scholars have examined and debated the changes made to the text before publication. Now this new special restored edition presents the original manuscript as the author prepared it to be published. Featuring a personal foreword by Patrick Hemingway, Ernest's sole surviving son, and an introduction by the editor and grandson of the author, Seán Hemingway, this new edition also includes a number of unfinished, never-before-published Paris sketches revealing experiences that Hemingway had with his son Jack and his first wife, Hadley. Also included are irreverent portraits of other luminaries, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ford Madox Ford, and insightful recollections of his own early experiments with his craft. Sure to excite critics and readers alike, the restored edition of A Moveable Feast brilliantly evokes the exuberant mood of Paris after World War I and the unbridled creativity and unquenchable enthusiasm that Hemingway himself epitomized.
