His Stolen Bride - Barbara Dunlop ‘Will you take this woman?’ Yes. As a favour to his estranged father, investigator Jackson Rush agrees to kidnap Crista Corday from her high society wedding. His job is to stop her marriage to a con man, not seduce the alluring Crista himself. But two days together, on the run from her fiancé’s shady family, obliterate every rule... Crista has no idea of the danger drawing near. Jackson can’t reveal it without divulging who really sent him. And that’s a risk that could cost him everything...unless Crista will put herself under his passionate protection forever. To Catch A Camden - Victoria Pade Look up unlucky in love in the dictionary, and you’ll see Gia Grant’s picture. Still, she takes inspiration from her elderly neighbours — married seventy years! — and will do anything to stop foreclosure on their home. That includes running interference with businessman Derek Camden. He says he’s here to help, but everyone knows Camdens can’t be trusted. So why is it every time she turns around she wants to kiss this lovable lout? Derek has a knack for falling for the wrong women — over and over! Luckily, working with the goody-goody girl next door to make amends to her neighbours doesn’t represent a romantic threat. Or so he likes to tell himself — because the beautiful botanist is growing on him! Could this be the bachelor’s last stand? Resisting Her Rebel Hero - Lucy Ryder The county jail is the last place Dr Cassidy Mahoney expects to be called to when she trades city life for a quiet mountain town. Especially when her patient is notorious national hero turned bad boy Major Sam Kellan! Sam might have enough testosterone to whip all the women of Crescent Lake into a frenzy, but Cassidy is determined to resist his charms — she can’t risk her heart on another rebel! But with the shadows haunting Sam’s eyes, a scorching hot, unforgettable kiss could lead to more than she’s bargained for...

This new book by the well-known anthropologists Jean and John L. Comaroff explores the global preoccupation with criminality in the early twenty-first century, a preoccupation strikingly disproportionate, in most places and for most people, to the risks posed by lawlessness to the conduct of everyday life. Ours in an epoch in which law-making, law-breaking, and law-enforcement are ever more critical registers in which societies construct, contest, and confront truths about themselves, an epoch in which criminology, broadly defined, has displaced sociology as the privileged means by which the social world knows itself. They also argue that as the result of a tectonic shift in the triangulation of capital, the state, and governance, the meanings attached to crime and, with it, the nature of policing, have undergone significant change; also, that there has been a palpable muddying of the lines between legality and illegality, between corruption and conventional business; even between crime-and-policing, which exist, nowadays, in ever greater, hyphenated complicity. Thinking through Crime and Policing is, therefore, an excursion into the contemporary Order of Things; or, rather, into the metaphysic of disorder that saturates the late modern world, indeed, has become its leitmotif. It is also a meditation on sovereignty and citizenship, on civility, class, and race, on the law and its transgression, on the political economy of representation.

One can obtain as many opinions about television as there are people with eyes. No two people see it in exactly the same way. You may not be aware of it, but up there, in that compartment of your brain where memories are stored, all sorts of strange images are stockpiled. The purpose of this book is to coax those memories out of their hiding places and bring them front and center, where you can savor them anew. Although this book is intended to be a comprehensive review of television during the past twenty years-the two decades that have passed since the medium became a commercial reality- it is not to be just a scholarly history. The programs and people represented here were chosen not because they were "good" or "popular" or "successful," but because each contributed, in some large or small way, to the progress of television.
