Previously published. All Raina can think about is the possibility that she might be pregnant, but her boyfriend tells her to get rid of it if it's true. Angry and hurt, she goes to confront him at his brother's house only to find he's been killed in a car accident. Stunned and grieving more because her baby will be born without a father than the loss of a man she only now realizes wasn't right for her, Raina accepts comfort from Hunter, her late boyfriend's brother. But Hunter and she have never gotten along. Hunter is ex-military, rigid, and condescending. He never seemed to feel Raina was good enough for his brother despite the fact that she busted her butt for her masters degree and was making something of her life. Raina can't understand why Hunter would now be the one to support her and even ask to be named as the baby's father. Hunter doesn't care how long Raina fights him. He will be there for her and the baby. He knows he made the wrong choices before his brother passed allowing Raina to see only a cold exterior. The truth is from the moment he laid eyes on her, he was lost. He has to win her heart or lose the woman he's been hopelessly devoted to for years. The challenge is not managing Raina but loving her. If he can find the balance, just maybe she'll run into his arms where she belongs.

Romantic love presents some of life's most challenging questions. Can we choose who to love? Is romantic love rational? Can we love more than one person at a time? And can we make ourselves fall out of love? In On Romantic Love, Berit Brogaard attempts to get to the bottom of love's many contradictions. This short book, informed by both historical and cutting edge philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, combines a new theory of romantic love with entertaining anecdotes from real life and accessible explanations of the neuroscience underlying our wildest passions. Against the grain, Brogaard argues that love is an emotion; that it can be, at turns, both rational and irrational; and that it can be manifested in degrees. We can love one person more than another and we can love a person a little or a lot or not at all. And love isn't even always something we consciously feel. However, love -- like other emotions, both conscious and not -- is subject to rational control, and falling in or out of it can be a deliberate choice. This engaging and innovative look at a universal topic, featuring original line drawings by illustrator Gareth Southwell, illuminates the processes behind heartbreak, obsession, jealousy, attachment, and more.

A novel of suspense, romance, and family secrets set in New Zealand. Bronwen has fallen in love with New Zealand ever since she and her husband, Jack, emigrated from England. But Jack seems far less happy. He stays in an apartment in Auckland during the week for work, and when he’s home he drinks frequently and is increasingly short-tempered with her. Then Bronwen has a surprise guest: her cousin, Marged. The two have never been very close, and Marged, who’d lived under her mother’s thumb, is still somewhat distant and enigmatic. She also has shocking news to report—her mother has been murdered back in England, and she’s here to escape the recent trauma, hoping to travel around and see this lush, exotic country so far from home. But before long, things spiral out of control. Jack begins acting even more strangely, and Bronwen makes some shocking discoveries—including a sudden and drastic decrease in her bank account. Now she must untangle a web of secrets—and decide whether she is hopelessly devoted to a hopeless cause . . .

The publication aims to make suggestions for a 'decolonisation of aesthetics' within an Afro-European framework. The texts (whose authors come from different cultural contexts between Germany, France, Senegal, Benin, Nigeria and Tunesia) do not only refer to heterogenous aesthetic practices understood as subversive and decolonial strategies, but also discuss philosophical questions of a renewed (non-in)dividual humanism. The artistic practices analyzed include artistic installations and ensembles as well as actions in urban and rural space, deceptive manœuvres at the borders and their photographic documentation, and many more.
