Book Description
"How many rules would you break for the one person who makes you feel alive?" "A long-term plan ..." Smart, feisty working-class student Paige Lytton is saving up for law school by stripping at a club once a week. She studies hard to maintain her perfect GPA, so her social life consists of steamy daydreams about her professor, Sebastian Morland. She'd love to do more than fantasize about him, but that would ruin both their lives. Besides, Sebastian, a well-known writer and scion of a wealthy family, would never be interested in Paige. Or so she thinks. "A short-term agreement ..." Sebastian hasn't written a word in years. Paige, his favorite student, is a bright spot in a less-than-fulfilling life -- so when he finds out she's working at a strip club, he's horrified ... even as the knowledge fuels his own forbidden appetites. To keep Paige safe, he offers her a deal: dance privately for him ... at his home. But Sebastian knows his motives aren't as pure as he'd like to pretend. "Running out of time ..." Before long, Paige and Sebastian are forced to admit that their secret arrangement is more personal than business ... that their dance springs from their deepest longings. Caught between guilt and desire, they surrender to the forbidden flame that burns between them. But now the man who's been stalking Paige has discovered the truth about their clandestine meetings. Will he bring their lives -- and any chance at a future together -- crashing down around them?

Dance or Die
Author: Ahmad Joudeh
Publisher: Charlesbridge Publishing
ISBN: 1623545137
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
A Syria-born dancer offers his deeply personal story of war, statelessness, and the pursuit of the art of dance in this inspirational memoir. DANCE OR DIE is an autobiographical coming-of-age account of Ahmad Joudeh, a young refugee who grows up in Damascus with dreams of becoming a dancer. When he is recruited by one of Syria’s top dance companies, neither bombs nor family opposition can keep him from taking classes, practicing hard, and becoming a Middle Eastern celebrity on a Lebanese reality show. Despite death threats if Ahmad continues to dance, his father kicking him out of the house, and the war around him intensifying, he persists and even gets a tattoo on his neck right where the executioner's blade would fall that says, "Dance or Die." A powerful look at refugee life in Syria, DANCE OR DIE tells of the pursuit of personal expression in the most dangerous of circumstances and of the power of art to transcend war and suffering. It follows Ahmad from Damascus to Beirut to Amsterdam, where he finds a home with one of Europe's top ballet troupes, and from where he continues to fight for the human rights of refugees everywhere through his art, his activism, and his commitment to justice.

In her long-awaited new collection, the Colt Peacekeeper of American political humor draws a bead on targets that range from the Libido-in-Chief to Newt Gingrich, campaign funny-money to the legislative lunacy of her native Texas--and hits a bull's-eye every time. Whether she's writing about Bill Clinton ("The Rodney Dangerfield of presidents"), Bob Dole ("Dole contributed perhaps the funniest line of the year with his immortal observation that tobacco is not addictive but that too much milk might be bad for us. The check from the dairy lobby must have been late that week"), or cultural trends ("I saw a restaurant in Seattle that specialized in latte and barbecue. Barbecue and latte. I came home immediately"), Molly takes on the issues of the day with her trademark good sense and inimitable wit.
