Dive in deep and discover three Navy SEALs falling in love as they battle bad guys while protecting the women they love…Fall in love alongside them in Katie Knight’s explosive and steamy new boxset. In Protecting His Pregnant Ex, Navy SEAL Brock Hardy finds himself caring for a baby with the help of his first love, Monica Ingram, who arrives at his door to tell him she’s pregnant—and he’s the father! With a storm brewing outside, a mysterious enemy targeting them, and their smoldering attraction reigniting, they find themselves fighting for their lives—and their hearts. In Protecting His Pretend Family, Navy SEAL Jackson Sheppard needs help protecting an infant, so he enlists the help of new employee Aurora Sunshine. Though he’d like to keep things all business, the more time he spends with Aurora, the more Jackson realizes how perfect it would be to build a life with her once the mission is over. In Protecting His Fake Fiancée, when Corrine pretends she’s engaged to hot Navy SEAL Weston Larraime to fend off her abusive ex, Weston is all too willing to play along. But he quickly finds their charade a little close for comfort…because their fake engagement is starting to feel anything but.

Far North & Other Dark Tales

Book Description
More 'modern traditional tales' from an acknowledged master of the genre, drawing on the author's deep knowledge of classical mythology and traditional stories from every continent. 'Far North', based on an Inuit myth, is set among desperate women in the frozen north surviving against all odds. Here is a new version of the Grimms' tale of the seven swan brothers and their sister's vow of silence; the Sirens justify the mayhem they wreak on the Greek sailors, while a tribe struggles over the tattooing of babies in the Amazon. Scheherazade is still trying to stay alive by telling stories, and the Princess Kalito tries to free both her feet and her heart from their bindings. All these stories, formally bold and innovative, emotionally edgy and deeply imbued with a sense of location, address Sara Maitland's primary concerns about the links between beauty and terror, modernity and ritual. Intertwining the everyday and the inexplicable to witty and disquieting effect, her wildest flights of fantasy are anchored in deep psychological understanding and vivid description, overlaid with a wickedly ironic humor.

It's the only book you'll need in your baby's first year. Packed with practical advice, Baby on Board is a must-read for all mums and dads. Babies have basic biological needs, which parents must meet. 'Baby on Board' outlines these needs clearly and explains the biological science underpinning them. This wonderful book gives parents the confidence they need to derive for themselves how to parent their baby successfully. It helps them navigate the endless advice directed their way by well-meaning family, friends, and passers-by. One issue that causes parents the most anguish - how to settle their distressed and crying baby - is explored in detail. Written in an accessible and frequently humorous way, Dr Chilton explains the fundamentals of parenting based on science and his forty years' experience as a neonatologist. He also explores the fascinating subject of how babies evolved over the millennia, what they perceive and how they are programmed for survival. This expanded edition has new chapters on the introduction of solids, how to play with your baby, and the essential drivers of baby sleep and how to enhance them. Many other chapters have been revised and updated. Dr Chilton's daughter, Georgina Dowden, with whom he collaborates professionally, has extensively rewritten the breastfeeding chapter. She has also contributed many useful additions, with her influence evident throughout the book.

Book Description
Jonas Lüscher, the author of Barbarian Spring—“a most humorous and convincing satire of the ridiculous excesses of those responsible for the financial crisis” (The New York Times Book Review)—returns to the topic of neoliberal arrogance in his Swiss Book Prize-winning, hilarious, and wicked novel about a man facing the ruins of his life, and his world. Richard Kraft, a German professor of rhetoric and aging Reaganite and Knight Rider fan, is unhappily married and badly in debt. He sees no way out of his rut until he is invited to participate in a competition to be held in California and sponsored by a Silicon Valley tycoon and “techno-optimist.” The contest is to answer a literal “million-dollar question”: each competitor must compose an eighteen-minute lecture on why our world is still, despite all evidence, the best of all possible worlds, and how we might improve it even further through technology. Entering into a surreal American landscape, Kraft soon finds what’s left of his life falling to pieces as he struggles to justify as “best” a planet in the hands of such blithe neoliberal cupidity as he encounters on his odyssey to California. Still, with the prize money in his pocket, perhaps Kraft could finally buy his way to a new life . . . But what contortions—physical and philosophical—will he have to subject himself to in order to claim it? Jonas Lüscher's second novel, Kraft, is a hilarious and wicked tale about a man facing the ruins of his life, and his world.

Book Description
Your Baby Skin to Skin gives parents a fresh, empowering approach to parenting. It takes parents on a reassuring and practical journey through your baby's first year. You are invited to contemplate your baby from a different perspective from the usual. One which can bring calm and solace along with many "lightbulb moments" of recognition. This book has at its heart the delightful truth that your baby is a highly evolved human, pre-set instinctively to survive. You can simply step back and let your baby show you how to parent by understanding the inbuilt reflexes and instinctive cues. Instincts are not learned, need no practice and can never be wrong. After all, no-one taught us to sneeze, we can't get better at sneezing through practice and we can't sneeze "wrong"! Likewise, a newborn baby comes ready-primed to feed, sleep and learn perfectly well and cannot get these things wrong, so turn down your anxiety and learn from your little instinctive expert. Taken from conversations with thousands of parents over 30 years, Your Baby Skin to Skin speaks about the real baby before your eyes. Not some mythical creature you have yet to meet. It reflects you as a real parent and releases you from the need to wrestle with your baby's nature and instead, allow yourself to sink naturally together into parenthood. By stepping back, accepting that your baby really can't get the business of being a baby wrong, you can finally rid yourself of the need to teach your newborn the basics of life. Parenting can be about watching evolution unfold before your eyes, safe in the knowledge that there are millions of years of natural selection wrapped up in your child and you ensuring that both of you will respond to each other naturally and correctly. So, don't panic. All is as it should be. Millions of years of evolution have got us here safely and now you can relax and get to know your baby.
