In Grover Beach, love and rivalry are just a part of the game. Never trust a twin! Susan Miller's world flips upside down when a knee injury sidelines her from her beloved soccer team, and Ethan Donovan-the infuriatingly handsome new guy-takes her spot. As if dealing with crutches wasn't enough, Susan now has to handle the whirlwind of emotions Ethan stirs up, discovering that love can be even more unpredictable than soccer. Just when she thinks she's figured Ethan out, his twin brother Chris steps onto the scene with his own brand of charm and trouble. Sue swears she won't become the next trophy for the guy who changes girlfriends like t-shirts. But with temptation everywhere, she makes a grave mistake by letting Chris feed her strawberries when they're alone at his house. And suddenly, it's no longer a strawberry that touches her yet unkissed lips. The Tease: I cleared my throat and called out, "Hey, Chris!" Folding his arms on the backrest of the chair he'd straddled by his friends, he cast me an intrigued and self-assured glance over his shoulder. I didn't give him the time to even think about the word "sweetness" leaving his mouth, but continued, "It takes a little more than a cute smile to get on my good side, and luckily your brother comes equipped with the whole package." I flashed a sardonic grin that hopefully stung his ego in front of his gang. "You want to freeze hell? Go ahead and try. It'll get you nowhere with me." For a stunned moment, Chris gazed at me. My snappiness had certainly terminated his interest in me. After all, he seemed to be someone after an easy lay and a jolly good time, nothing more. Especially not if that something proved to require serious effort. Right? Wrong. The left side of his mouth tilted up so slowly that a shudder made it through my entire body before he was done with the smirk. He blinked then ran his tongue along the inside of his bottom lip. The whole class had stilled and all eyes were on him and me now, gazes darting back and forth. With an audience to quote him later, he stated, "Game on, little Sue." This is a standalone. No cliffhanger. The complete series in chronological reading order: 1. Play With Me 2. Ryan Hunter 3. T is for... 4. Dating Trouble 5.

'The Woman Who Toils' is a fascinating investigative journalism account conducted by two sisters, Bessie and Marie Van Vorst. In writing the book, they began an undercover investigation into women and child factory laborers by finding jobs in factories under aliases. Bessie worked in a plant in Perry, New York, a knitting mill near Buffalo, and a Pittsburgh pickle factory, among other places, using the name "Esther Kelly". Marie Van Vorst found employment in a shoe factory in Lynn, Massachusetts, and a cotton mill in Columbia, South Carolina, under the alias "Bell Ballard". In their book the Van Vorsts portrayed the troublesome working and living conditions they had observed, and their consequences for women and girls. Bessie appealed for a more compassionate attitude towards these employees. Van Vorst also noted that factory women enjoyed the independence afforded them by paid labor and therefore delayed marrying. "I never saw a baby nor heard of a baby while I was in town", Van Vorst wrote after nearly three weeks spent in Perry. She also discussed sociability and the discipline of factory work as a dangerous alternative to family unity.
