A brilliant devil meets his match at last, and the dangers they face in each others arms are unmistakable: temptation, seduction, and maybe even love. Eleanor Enderby is not at all what Sir Hilary St. John expected. Her quiet beauty, bravery—and willfulness—are nothing like the skittish and plain woman that he was asked to find. Hil is a world-renowned scholar and detective, yet she matches him word for word and move for move in their verbal sparring matches. Mild interest gives way to infatuation and finally obsession. And though he cannot—or will not—say exactly why, he is determined not to let her come to more harm. Six months after finding refuge with her sister Harry, thought dead by society, Eleanor assumes a new name and is ready to be reborn as someone new—someone whose life will never again be tied to the fate of one man. But her new life is turned upside down by the attentions of the brilliant and notorious rake, Sir Hilary St. John. Their mutual attraction is as unexpected as it is exciting. As all of London watches, the two dance around a love affair, until murder puts Eleanor on trial. Hil’s brilliant mind is put to the test as he races to find the real killer and save the only woman who is a match for this Devil. Don’t miss any of Samantha Kane’s steamy Saint’s Devils novels: THE DEVIL’S THIEF | TEMPTING A DEVIL | DEVIL IN MY ARMS

The South African 'Arms Deal' was never a single event. Rather it was, and still is, a series of scandals and outrages, all contributing towards a dubious momentum that takes South Africa further away from transparent democratic practice. The Devil in the Detail, written by two of South Africa's leading researchers on the subject, takes the reader on a journey of insight. Witness at close hand the breaking open of State secrets, with tales of outrageous personal enrichment. Explore how the Arms Deal emerged out of the criminal networks of both the old SADF and the ANC's security apparatus, raising questions as to whether South Africa's remarkable transition was not oiled, at key points, by criminal intent and collusion. Follow the trail of the various offset deals done after the Arms Deal - cumulatively worth just as much as - and discover that corruption continues to impact on defence spending in South Africa. Examine the economics and witness how the Arms Deal was not only economically irrational, but virtually suicidal, almost single-handedly derailing the post-apartheid economic project. Finally, read about the rise of the 'shadow state', the politicisation of prosecutions, and the rise of the 'spooks'. The remarkable conclusion of this landmark study is that years after the deal took place, the forces that drove its decisions have only grown in strength, further blighting South Africa's prospects for a future in which all may have a share.

USA Today Bestseller! “Julie Anne Long reinvents the historical romance for modern readers.” —Amanda Quick From USA Today bestselling author Julie Anne Long comes the second book in an exciting new historical romance series, the first since her beloved Pennyroyal Green series. He has devil’s blood in his veins. At least, that’s always been the legend. How else could the Duke of Brexford’s notorious bastard son return from the dead? The brutal decade since Lucien Durand, Lord Bolt, allegedly drowned in the Thames forged him into a man who always gets what—and who—he wants. And what he wants is vengeance for his stolen birthright . . . and one wild night in Angelique Breedlove’s bed. Angelique recognizes heartbreak when the enigmatic Lord Bolt walks into The Grand Palace on the Thames, and not even his devastating charm can tempt her to risk her own ever again. One scorching kiss drives home the danger. But in the space between them springs a trust that feels anything but safe. And the passion—explosive, consuming—drives Lucien to his knees. Now his whole life depends on proving his love to a woman who doesn’t believe in it . . . because his true birthright, he now knows, is guardian of Angelique Breedlove’s heart.

From prizewinning journalist and Brazilian native Juliana Barbassa comes a deeply reported and beautifully written account of the seductive and chaotic city of Rio de Janeiro as it struggles with poverty and corruption on the brink of the 2016 Olympic Games. Juliana Barbassa moved a great deal throughout her life, but Rio was always home. After twenty-one years abroad, she returned to find her native city—once ravaged by inflation, drug wars, corrupt leaders, and dying neighborhoods—undergoing a major change. Rio has always aspired to the pantheon of global capitals, and under the spotlight of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games it seems that its moment has come. But in order to prepare itself for the world stage, Rio must vanquish the entrenched problems that Barbassa recalls from her childhood. Turning this beautiful but deeply flawed place into a pristine showcase of the best that Brazil has to offer in just a few years is a tall order—and with the whole world watching, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Library Journal called Dancing with the Devil in the City of God “akin to Charlie LeDuff’s Detroit”—a book that “combines history and personal interviews in an informative and engaging work.” This kaleidoscopic portrait of Rio introduces the reader to the people who make up this city of extremes, revealing their aspirations and their grit, their violence, their hungers, and their splendor, and shedding light on the future of this city they are building together. Dancing with the Devil in the City of God is an insider perspective from a native daughter and “a fascinating look at the people who live in and aspire to change one of the world’s most impressive cities” (Booklist, starred review).

The three plays in this volume are some of George Bernard Shaw's most popular and frequently performed works. They demonstrate the development of Shavian comedy and contain early formulations of his idea of the Superman, an extraordinary individual who catalyzes the evolution of mankind.Arms and the Man (1894) was Shaw's first commercial success and the first public confirmation that he could make playwriting his profession. It is the first of what Shaw called his "pleasant plays", comedies that critique idealism in general rather than specific social problems (as his earlier playsdid). Specifically, Shaw undermines the romance of wartime courage, reckless heroism, and nationalist pride among British spectators while using the Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1886 as an exotic veneer.Shaw wrote The Devil's Disciple (1897) for William Terriss, an actor known for his swashbuckling roles who had requested a play that would "contain every 'surefire" melodramatic situation' - mistaken identities, terrifying adventures and last-second escapes, and frequent emotional outpourings..Caesar and Cleopatra (1898) is Shaw's revision of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra as well as a fusion of the pragmatism and unconventionality of the heroes of Arms and the Man and The Devil's Disciple into a portrait of jocular, morally serious leadership.

Knowing one's enemy is crucial to any successful battle plan. The Devil Is in the Details arms the reader with a study of Satan, the greatest enemy of God and man, which is both engaging and scriptural. Details are important when understanding one's adversary. Past performance sheds light on attitudes, behaviors, and methodology, and Satan's previous strategies can be critically examined for one's future defenses. Beginning in the Garden of Eden and progressing through the Old and New Testaments, Tony Kessinger traces biblical allusions and references to Satan, his minions, and evil in general, in order to prove that Satan is alive, active, and even today has detailed plans to mislead and entrap humankind. Written in down-to-earth language with accessible biblical references, The Devil Is in the Details is as suitable for pastors, church leaders, and Sunday school teachers as it is for anyone interested in Bible study or learning more about Satan. Leading evangelical authors Tim LaHaye, Ed Hindson, Paul Benware, and Roy Zuck have all endorsedThe Devil is in the Details as well as other ministry leaders.
