Now an original movie on Prime Video starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine! When Solène Marchand, the thirty-nine-year-old owner of a prestigious art gallery in Los Angeles, takes her daughter, Isabelle, to meet her favorite boy band, she does so reluctantly and at her ex-husband’s request. The last thing she expects is to make a connection with one of the members of the world-famous August Moon. But Hayes Campbell is clever, winning, confident, and posh, and the attraction is immediate. That he is all of twenty years old further complicates things. What begins as a series of clandestine trysts quickly evolves into a passionate relationship.

A job was what she needed. Desire was what she found ... Life had dealt Ebony Crews a hand where the Joker always showed up. Raised in foster care. Pregnant at 18. A mother at 19. Beaten at 20. A single, struggling mother at 26. At that was just the tip of the iceberg. One job loss away from being homeless with a sick child, Ebony's finally dealt an ace -- a job at the Zeller mansion as a maid. It paid almost three times her normal salary. And the unexpected cherry on top was Nico Zeller. He was everything a woman could want in a man. Rich. Smart. Single. Handsome. And very interested in her. "Why her?" Ebony wondered. He could have any woman he wanted, and was so far out of her league, it had to mean only one thing. *** "No!" Ebony said, turning away from the scorching heat of Nico's mouth. "This is wrong," she declared. "What's so wrong about it?" Nico said, taking deep breaths as he strove for control. "On the contrary, I'd say everything about it is right." "Are you in the habit of seducing the help?" Ebony said. Nico slid one hand into the hair at the base of her neck. He snatched her head back, his lips searing the column of her throat. Ebony's brain shut down and her body opened up: to him, for him, betraying her. *** Fighting a desire that couldn't be denied, Ebony risked everything when she gave herself to Nico Zeller. Only, she didn't realize just how much. She found herself in the cross-hairs of the billionaire's family drama that could lose her much more than a job. Ending the affair could cost her in ways she never imagined, until she's offered a way out. It was an easy choice to make. But she knew she'd regret it the rest of her life.

My job... Let's just say a breakroom misunderstanding forced me to dish out thousands of dollars in anger management classes that I didn't need. I was on the verge of a mental breakdown when he came into my life and changed it all around.Kyler Life for me was no walk in the park. I broke free from my nut job parents, followed my dreams, and overcame my very awkward teenage years. I left a string of broken hearts over the last eight years, and I planned on breaking more in the future. Well, that was the plan until I saw her again for the first time in ten years. She was my childhood crush and the only woman that stole the breath right out of me with a single look. Her face had gotten me through some traumatic events in life. Now here she was suffering at the hands of the man that nearly stole my life. I had to help. It was only right. I just prayed that I didn't get my heart ripped out in the process.
In recent years, cognitive and affective science have become increasingly important for interpretation and explanation in the social sciences and humanities. However, little of this work has addressed American literature, and virtually none has treated national identity formation in influential works since the Civil War. In this book, Hogan develops his earlier cognitive and affective analyses of national identity, further exploring the ways in which such identity is integrated with cross-culturally recurring patterns in story structure. Hogan examines how authors imagined American identity—understood as universal, democratic egalitarianism—in the face of the nation’s clear and often brutal inequalities of race, sex, and sexuality, exploring the complex and often ambivalent treatment of American identity in works by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Eugene O’Neill, Lillian Hellman, Djuna Barnes, Amiri Baraka, Margaret Atwood, N. Scott Momaday, Spike Lee, Leslie Marmon Silko, Tony Kushner, and Heidi Schreck.

Race and Vision in the Nineteenth-Century United States is a collection of twelve essays by cultural critics that exposes how fraught relations of identity and race appear through imaging technologies in architecture, scientific discourse, sculpture, photography, painting, music, theater, and, finally, the twenty-first century visual commentary of Kara Walker. Throughout these essays, the racial practices of the nineteenth century are juxtaposed with literary practices involving some of the most prominent writers about race and identity, such as Herman Melville and Harriet Beecher Stowe, as well as the technologies of performance including theater and music. Recent work in critical theories of vision, technology, and the production of ideas about racial discourse has emphasized the inextricability of photography with notions of race and American identity. The collected essays provide a vivid sense of how imagery about race appears in the formative period of the nineteenth-century United States.
