Mills & Boon Medical — Life and love in the world of modern medicine. Nurse’s Outback Temptation - Amy Andrews The right temptation…at the wrong time? When nurse Chelsea lands in Australia, her plan is simple: to leave the heart-breaking reason why she can’t call London home anymore on the plane and start over. Yet, when Chelsea is introduced to far-too handsome flight doctor Aaron, it’s clear that her ‘new start, no romance’ vow is already at risk! All Chelsea wants is a summer free from her painful past…but could a summer of love with Aaron be what she really needs? Mending the ER Doc’s Heart - Susan Carlisle Unexpected second chance…for the single dad! ER doctor and widower Chad is focussed solely on his job and his little boy. But when Atlanta Children’s Hospital’s newest nurse Izzy walks into his emergency room, Chad’s firm defences are tested! Because behind her dazzling smile, he recognises a similar wariness in her eyes. But when Chad sees how she can make his little boy light up like never before, he can’t ignore how she may be the missing piece to their puzzle… One Weekend in Prague - Alison Roberts For one weekend…or forever? Before attending a medical conference, trauma specialist Mac meets stranger Hanna under the Astronomical clock in Prague. Their intense connection takes him by surprise. Straight-laced Mac has never met someone like free-spirited nurse Hanna and suddenly he’s dropping his guard and stepping out of his comfort zone! Their unforgettable and spontaneous weekend together, as tourists and then tangled between the sheets, makes him see the world differently. But what happens when they leave Prague? The Vet’s Escape to Paradise - Becky Wicks Looking for adventure! Finding a family? Ivy’s dream trip to the Galápagos Islands was planned as her honeymoon — now it’s a chance to regroup alone. So on meeting single dad Jero, Ivy tries to give the sexy, brooding vet a wide berth. She’s sworn never to be a mother, and after his divorce, Jero’s priority is his child. But as Ivy’s drawn into his work with the local wildlife, and his daughter latches on to her, she starts changing her mind about a family… His Cinderella Houseguest - Charlotte Hawkes When midnight strikes…will his Cinderella stay in his arms? Helicopter Pilot, Piper Green is supposed to be Dr Lincoln Oakes’ new air ambulance colleague — not his houseguest! Yet discovering she’s practically homeless, he offers her his spare room. In such close quarters, sparks soon start to fly, but they agree to keep things strictly professional. Until a dazzling kiss makes their chemistry impossible to ignore! But Piper has a secret and when Linc learns the truth, could their chance at happy-ever-after disappear? Her Secret Rio Baby - Luana DaRosa An impulsive night of passion…a life-changing consequence! The night surgeon Eliana Oliveira met Diego Ferrari, he was just a handsome stranger in a bar in Rio de Janeiro. And acting on their instant attraction was the perfect escape from the shock of inheriting a whole hospital from her estranged late father. Now, on her first day at Santa Valeria General, she’s in for two shocking discoveries: first coming face-to-face with Diego in the operating room and second that she’s expecting his baby!

Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Biography Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction The definitive biography of the transformational Russian leader by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Khrushchev. "Essential reading for the twenty-first [century]." —Radhika Jones, The New York Times Book Review When Mikhail Gorbachev became the leader of the Soviet Union in 1985, the USSR. was one of the world’s two superpowers. By 1989, his liberal policies of perestroika and glasnost had permanently transformed Soviet Communism, and had made enemies of radicals on the right and left. By 1990 he, more than anyone else, had ended the Cold War, and in 1991, after barely escaping from a coup attempt, he unintentionally presided over the collapse of the Soviet Union he had tried to save. In the first comprehensive biography of the final Soviet leader, William Taubman shows how a peasant boy became the Soviet system’s gravedigger, how he clambered to the top of a system designed to keep people like him down, how he found common ground with America’s arch-conservative president Ronald Reagan, and how he permitted the USSR and its East European empire to break apart without using force to preserve them. Throughout, Taubman portrays the many sides of Gorbachev’s unique character that, by Gorbachev’s own admission, make him "difficult to understand." Was he in fact a truly great leader, or was he brought low in the end by his own shortcomings, as well as by the unyielding forces he faced? Drawing on interviews with Gorbachev himself, transcripts and documents from the Russian archives, and interviews with Kremlin aides and adversaries, as well as foreign leaders, Taubman’s intensely personal portrait extends to Gorbachev’s remarkable marriage to a woman he deeply loved, and to the family that they raised together. Nuanced and poignant, yet unsparing and honest, this sweeping account has all the amplitude of a great Russian novel.

“If you’re interested in the revolutionary transformation of the meaning and use of money, this is the book to read!”—Charles R. Schwab Cultural anthropologist Jack Weatherford traces our relationship with money, from primitive man’s cowrie shells to the electronic cash card, from the markets of Timbuktu to the New York Stock Exchange.

Fifteen-year-old Mari Pujols believes that the baby she’s carrying will finally mean she’ll have a family member who will love her deeply and won’t ever leave her—not like her mama, who took off when she was eight; or her papi, who’s in jail; or her abuela, who wants as little to do with her as possible. But when doctors discover a potentially fatal heart defect in the fetus, Mari faces choices she never could have imagined. Surrounded by her loyal girl crew, her off-and-on boyfriend, and a dedicated doctor, Mari navigates a decision that could emotionally cripple the bravest of women. But both Mari and the broken-hearted baby inside her are fighters; and it doesn’t take long to discover that this sick baby has the strength to heal an entire family.

Two behind-the-scenes players in the edward snowden story reflect on the meaning of snowden’s revelations in our age of surveillance One day in the spring of 2013, a box appeared outside a fourth-floor apartment door in Brooklyn, New York. The recipient, who didn’t know the sender, only knew she was supposed to bring this box to a friend, who would ferry it to another friend. This was Edward Snowden’s box—materials proving that the U.S. government had built a massive surveillance apparatus and used it to spy on its own people--and the friend on the end of this chain was filmmaker Laura Poitras. Thus the biggest national security leak of the digital era was launched via a remarkably analog network, the US Postal Service. This is just one of the odd, ironic details that emerges from the story of how Jessica Bruder and Dale Maharidge, two experienced journalists but security novices (and the friends who received and ferried the box) got drawn into the Snowden story as behind-the-scenes players. Their initially stumbling, increasingly paranoid, and sometimes comic efforts to help bring Snowden’s leaks to light, and ultimately, to understand their significance, unfold in an engrossing narrative that includes emails and diary entries from Poitras. This is an illuminating story on the status of transparency, privacy, and trust in the age of surveillance. With an appendix suggesting what citizens and activists can do to protect privacy and democracy.

This book presents effective long-term solutions for displacement and migration against the background of the current debates. It offers insights on practical suggestions for dealing with displacement and migration due to violence, examines ideas for the management of global migration movements and looks into the integration of refugees and migrants. Throughout the chapters, experts from science, politics and practice shed light on the causes of global migration and the consequences of migration on a political, economic and social level. The focus of the discussion is not the avoidance of migratory movements, but above all the use of positive effects in countries of origin, transit and destination. The book is a must-read for researchers, policy-makers and politicians, interested in international cooperation and in a better understanding of causes, consequences and solutions of displacement and forced migration.
