Preacher (Dixie Reapers MC)


Book Description

Preacher (Dixie Reapers MC): When I lost my family I closed off my heart and vowed to never let another woman in. Then the most tempting woman I've ever met gave me a night I knew I'd always remember. When she turns up two months later, she knocks me on my ass when she tells me she's pregnant. With my kid. I don't know that I believe in a higher power anymore, but maybe it's time I start praying again. Because giving this woman everything she needs, being the man she deserves, is going to take one hell of a miracle. Ryker (Roosters 2): After 20 years in the military, I find myself doing my dad's dirty work as the "prince" of the Hades Abyss MC, it's expected of me. Doing a little recon in a small Alabama town should have been boring as shit, until the hot little minx I met at a bar turned my life upside down. If I'd known she was a virgin, I might have backed away, but now that I've had a taste I just want to keep coming back for more. Little did I realize that I'd just fucked the sister of a Dixie Reaper... Badger (Roosters 5 -- with Paige Warren): I went to prison for ten years after beating a man to death. He deserved it -- I only wish he'd suffered more. Now I'm free, and the little girl I once saved is now a tempting young woman with curves in all the right places. She's also the adopted daughter of my Pres. I should stay away, far away, but I'm drawn to her like a moth to a flame. Now what the hell am I supposed to do? I'm a longtime repeat offender. I can't walk the straight and narrow. Can I? When I found out she's pregnant, I know there's nowhere to hide from the president of the Devil's Fury MC.

My brothers, the Dixie Reapers, will help protect her. I'm just not sure who's going to protect her from me, because I'm never going to let her go. Bull (Dixie Reapers MC 4) Darian: I can tell he wants me, even though he's fighting himself. But he doesn't have to... because I'm his.

Sounds and the City


Book Description

This book draws from a rich history of scholarship about the relations between music and cities, and the global flows between music and urban experience. The contributions in this collection comment on the global city as a nexus of moving people, changing places, and shifting social relations, asking what popular music can tell us about cities, and vice versa. Since the publication of the first Sounds and the City volume, various movements, changes and shifts have amplified debates about globalization. From the waves of people migrating to Europe from the Syrian civil war and other conflict zones, to the 2016 “Brexit” vote to leave the European Union and American presidential election of Donald Trump. These, and other events, appear to have exposed an anti-globalist retreat toward isolationism and a backlash against multiculturalism that has been termed “post-globalization.” Amidst this, what of popular music? Does music offer renewed spaces and avenues for public protest, for collective action and resistance? What can the diverse​​ histories, hybridities, and legacies of popular music tell us about the ever-changing relations of people and cities?




Not Enough Horses

With his razor-sharp observations and mystical characters, including the ever-present and ever-changing Coyote, King pokes a sharp stick into the gears of the Native myth-making machine, exposing the underbelly of both historical and contemporary Native-White relationships. Through the laughter, these stories shimmer brightly with the universal truths that unite us.
