Nina Barnes thinks Valentine’s Day should be optional. That way single people like her wouldn’t be subjected to kissy Cupids all over the place. That is, until her mom moves them next door to the brooding hottie of Greenbrier High, West Smith. He’s funny, looks amazing in a black leather jacket, and he’s fluent in Harry Potter, but she’s not sure he’s boyfriend material. West isn’t sure what to make of Nina. She’s cute and loves to read as much as he does, but she seems to need to debate everything and she has a pathological insistence on telling the truth. And West doesn’t exactly know how to handle that, since his entire life is a carefully constructed secret. Dating the girl next door could be a ton of fun, but only if Nina never finds out the truth about his home life. It’s one secret that could bring them together or rip them apart. Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book is not for anyone who has to get in the last word, but it is for all book nerds, especially those who live next door to so called unapproachable gorgeous guys. There’s no debating the chemistry. Each book in the Dating Dilemmas series is STANDALONE: * The Dating Debate * 99% Faking It

A dark yet playful collection of short stories that pushes boundaries and blurs the lines between the real and surreal Girl Zoo is an enthralling and sometimes unsettling collection of short stories that examines how women in society are confined by the limitations and expectations of pop culture, politics, advertising, fashion, myth, and romance. In each story, a woman or girl is literally confined or held captive, and we can only watch as they are transformed into objects of terror and desire, plotting their escape from their cultural cages. Taken as a whole, this experimental speculative fiction invites parallels to social justice movements focused on sexuality and gender, as well as cautionary tales for our precarious political movement. Parkison and Guess offer no solutions to their characters' captivity. Instead, they challenge their audience to read against the grain of conventional feminist dystopian narratives by inviting them inside the "Girl Zoo" itself. Take a step inside the zoo and see for yourself. We dare you. Behind the bars, a world of wonder awaits.

We live in a time of great uncertainty about the future. Those heady days of the late twentieth century, when the end of the Cold War seemed to be ushering in a new and more optimistic age, now seem like a distant memory. During the last couple of decades, we’ve been battered by one crisis after another and the idea that humanity is on a progressive path to a better future seems like an illusion. It is only now that we can see clearly the real scope and structure of the profound shifts that Western societies have undergone over the last 30 years. Classical industrial society has been transformed into a late-modern society that is molded by polarization and paradoxes. The pervasive singularization of the social, the orientation toward the unique and exceptional, generates systematic asymmetries and disparities, and hence progress and unease go hand in hand. Reckwitz examines this dual structure of singularization and polarization as it plays itself out in the different sectors of our societies and, in so doing, he outlines the central structural features of the present: the new class society, the characteristics of a postindustrial economy, the conflict about culture and identity, the exhaustion of the self resulting from the imperative to seek authentic fulfillment, and the political crisis of liberalism. Building on his path-breaking work The Society of Singularities, this new book will be of great interest to students and scholars in sociology, politics, and the social sciences generally, and to anyone concerned with the great social and political issues of our time.

It’s Christmas, which means screaming kids, carols on repeat, and angry impatient parents giving me the evil eye. Every year I think this part-time gig as Santa’s helper will fill me with Christmas cheer and every year I’m left at Santa’s altar while he’s off drinking himself into a stupor. It’s time I gave up and quit this nonsense already. But then the latest Santa rent-a-drunk—Luke—turns out not to be a drunk at all. In fact, he’s a hunky hottie that has me drooling and falling all over myself. I may not get filled with Christmas cheer this year, but maybe I can get this sexy Santa to stuff my stocking… Scarlet’s a force to be reckoned with. This little firecracker has given me the cold shoulder before I could so much as introduce myself. But the moment I slip out of that heat trap of a Santa costume, suddenly she can’t look away. Before I know it, she’s throwing me into the back of her car and the next thing I know, we’re knockin’ stockings. Not that I’m complaining. But I want to tame this firecracker and stick around longer than the holiday season. Is this a Christmas fling or the real thing? Scarlet’s Naughty Christmas is part of Max Watson’s Bubble Bath Romance collection. Each standalone short story is intended to be read in one sitting—in a hot and steamy bubble bath!

Tessa doesn’t want to end her career as a loser. She really enjoys playing, and if she’s being honest, she likes it even more than running cross-country.
