Maximum Rush


Book Description

Rush Hadley wants two months of my time in exchange for the only interview the magic man's ever done. It's the opportunity of a lifetime. A make or break point in my journalism career. All I have to do is entertain the famous magician. A billionaire playboy who doesn't understand the word no, he's stubborn, one-track minded, and set on getting me into his bed. Men like him ruin girls like me with their dirty mouths and wicked tricks, but I'm not gullible enough to fall for his charms, even if his touch feels like magic. Maxi O'Keeffe is a sexy little challenge I intend to have my way with. She might have said no, might keep saying no, but I always get what I want. The quirky goody-two-shoes isn't going to hold out forever. Uncomfortably awkward and downright weird, she shouldn't be the only person who gets me. She shouldn't be more than a way to pass time in this boring old town. So why does she get me higher than any audience screaming my name?




The Philosophy of Desire in the Buddhist Pali Canon


Book Description

David Webster explores the notion of desire as found in the Buddhist Pali Canon. Beginning by addressing the idea of a 'paradox of desire', whereby we must desire to end desire, the varieties of desire that are articulated in the Pali texts are examined. A range of views of desire, as found in Western thought, are presented as well as Hindu and Jain approaches. An exploration of the concept of ditthi(view or opinion) is also provided, exploring the way in which 'holding views' can be seen as analogous to the process of desiring. Other subjects investigated include the mind-body relationship, the range of Pali terms for desire, and desire's positive spiritual value. A comparative exploration of the various approaches completes the work.
