Uncontrolled Desire: A Gripping Romance of Secrets, Power, and Forbidden Passion Arya has spent her life focused on one goal: getting into the prestigious Odyssey University. When she earns a hard-fought scholarship, she steps into a world of privilege she never wanted to be a part of. Determined to succeed, Arya battles to keep her distance from the elite students who live by different rules—especially Dominic, the irresistible and arrogant hockey star with a dangerous reputation. But Dominic is more than just the spoiled son of a powerful senator. Beneath his cocky exterior lies a man haunted by loss, searching for something real. Arya, with her sharp mind and fierce independence, becomes the light he never expected. As their worlds collide, an undeniable attraction pulls them closer, and Arya is torn between her ambition and the raw intensity of her feelings for Dominic. As she dives deeper into the shadows of the university's dark secrets—like Dominic's involvement in illegal underground motorcycle races—Arya's carefully built walls begin to crumble. Caught in a whirlwind of desire and danger, she must face the truth: controlling her heart is harder than controlling her future. Will Arya surrender to the pull of forbidden passion, or will the secrets of the elite destroy her? Fans of steamy romance, forbidden love, and heart-pounding drama won't be able to put down "Uncontrolled Desire." Dive into a world of power, lust, and betrayal where nothing is what it seems.

This volume brings together Nussbaum's published papers on the relationship between literature and philosophy, especially moral philosophy. The papers, many of them previously inaccessible to non-specialist readers, deal with such fundamental issues as the relationship between style and content in the exploration of ethical issues; the nature of ethical attention and ethical knowledge and their relationship to written forms and styles; and the role of the emotions in deliberation and self-knowledge. Nussbaum investigates and defends a conception of ethical understanding which involves emotional as well as intellectual activity, and which gives a certain type of priority to the perception of particular people and situations rather than to abstract rules. She argues that this ethical conception cannot be completely and appropriately stated without turning to forms of writing usually considered literary rather than philosophical. It is consequently necessary to broaden our conception of moral philosophy in order to include these forms. Featuring two new essays and revised versions of several previously published essays, this collection attempts to articulate the relationship, within such a broader ethical inquiry, between literary and more abstractly theoretical elements.
