What happens when you meet your soulmate before realizing you dated her older sister first? I didn't know who Dove's sister was when we first met. I didn't know that I'd been fooling around with her for a few months before Dove walked into my life. I didn't know that––if I've done the math correctly––I could be the father to her sister's child. But I do know this. Dove has the voice of an angel, and the heart of one too. I might not deserve her, but I refuse to let her go. She doesn’t know that I was with her sister before we met. She doesn’t know that her niece or nephew could be my freaking kid. And even though it kills me, I can’t let her find out.
I want a girl I can't have. She's my tutor. My best friend's girlfriend. And my kryptonite. She also looks really good in my T-shirt. But she wants the golden boy, and I'm more of the villain type. Or at least I was.... Until I saw her smile for the first time. But the good guy she wants wouldn't lust after his friend's girlfriend. And the good guy she's with sure as hell shouldn't be sneaking around behind her back. So where the hell does that leave me?
He's a sexy paramedic. I'm just a sick girl trying to survive college. Pretty sure my friend is trying to set me up with her boyfriend's older brother. There's just one problem. Macklin's the paramedic who drove me to the hospital after a particularly ugly seizure. And I have no desire to see him ever again. Sure, he's attractive, and sweet, no matter how grumpy I am to him. But he's also stubborn and is convinced we should be friends. Which is fine...If I don't strangle him first...Or jump his bones when we find ourselves sharing a bed during a snowstorm. Yeah. I'm in trouble.
What is it about “the homosexual” that incites vitriolic rhetoric and violence around the world? How and why do some people hate queers? Does homophobia operate differently across social, political, and economic terrains? What are the ambivalences in homophobic discourses that can be exploited to undermine its hegemonic privilege? This volume addresses these questions through critical interrogations of sites where homophobic discourses are produced. It provides innovative analytical insights that expose the complex and intersecting cultural, political, and economic forces contributing to the development of new forms of homophobia. And it is a call to action for anthropologists and other social scientists to examine more carefully the politics, histories, and contexts of places and people who profess hatred for queerness. The contributors to this volume open up the scope of inquiry into processes of homophobia, moving the analysis of a particular form of “hate” into new, wider sociocultural and political fields. The ongoing production of homophobic discourses is carefully analyzed in diverse sites including New York City, Australia, the Caribbean, Greece, India, and Indonesia, as well as American Christian churches, in order to uncover the complex operational processes of homophobias and their intimate relationships to nationalism, sexism, racism, class, and colonialism. The contributors also critically inquire into the limitations of the term homophobia and interrogate its utility as a cross-cultural designation. Contributors.

He's owned my heart for years. And now he's back to claim it. When Owen Daniels skipped town to become a college football star, he shattered my heart––and my dreams.

But he’s not alone, and he's made his intentions clear. He's determined to win me back. And my adorable new student who calls him Daddy? In another world, he would’ve been mine. But I guess not everyone deserves their happily-ever-after. And no matter how sweet he is, I refuse to let his father hurt me again.

A girl who's competing in a man's sport. And a guy who can't wait to help her shine. My world fell apart when my dad was diagnosed with dementia. Now, I need money and a way to provide stability for my father. When an opportunity falls into my lap that can provide both, I grab hold of it with all my strength. I just need to...focus. Which is a lot easier said than done, considering my new assistant coach for said opportunity is the infamous--and off-limits--Jude Williams. He's convinced that if I can relinquish my control and let him take the lead--both inside and out of the championship--everything will fall into place. But how can I rely on anyone when they've always let me down? The only person I ever open up to is a stranger on the internet, and even he says I should give Jude a chance. But if I do, I could lose everything I've worked for... And so could my dad. You've Got Mail meets Karate Kid in Kelsie Rae's Take the Leap. One-Click today!

Welp. It's official. The entire hockey team knows I'm a virgin. And who do I have to thank for telling them about my v-card? Theodore Taylor, aka my brother's best friend and the pain in my butt since third grade. Then again, I'm kind of sick of this thing. My virgin status, that is. It's probably time I get rid of it. Which would be a heck of a lot easier if Theo hadn't made it his mission to be my own personal chastity belt for the foreseeable future. Which leaves me screwed. In every way except the literal sense. Lovely.
Sometimes I wonder what my hockey career is worth. Blood, sweat, and tears, sure. But losing Ash? I can't. I shouldn't ask this of her. To ignore the rumors. To let go of the scandal. To accept the spotlight. To give up her dreams so I can chase mine. Balancing it all, though? Well, that's a different sort of torture. I have no idea how long I can hold on without my past catching up to us. And when it does? Well, Ash deserves better than a screw up like me. *This is the sequel to Don't Let Me Fall, Don't Let Me Go, and Don't Let Me Break. It is to be enjoyed after reading the previous titles.
