Book Description
Some lines should never be crossed. But sometimes the temptation is too good to resist... Mason Black was everything to me: my father, my provider, my protector. But then one day, he vanished, leaving me lost and alone. I was devastated. Years later, just when I thought I had put the pieces of my life together, my world splintered apart again. Everything I thought I knew about my biological father and Mason's role in my life? Turns out, it was all a lie. Every. Last. Word. Now Mason's back. However, he offers no excuses, no explanations. He just wants me to be what he claims I've always been: his little girl. But the ache inside me won't be denied. The longing I feel isn't one of a little girl who misses her father. No. I need Mason to be more than just a father figure. More than a loving protector. I need him to be my Daddy. ***Brace yourself for a twisty, forbidden romance so deliciously devious, it'll tie you up by your heartstrings and then drag you along for the ride. Like my Quick-and-Dirty Reads, it features a guaranteed melt-your-heart ending. But unlike those shorter stories, this is hardly a light-hearted romp.If you're a fan of very taboo older man/younger woman pairings, broody, protective Daddy figures, and contemporary Gothic vibes, then this book was tailor-made for your Kindle.

Book Description
The surprising story of the wine industry’s role in the rise of French Algeria and the fall of empire. “We owe to wine a blessing far more precious than gold: the peopling of Algeria with Frenchmen,” stated agriculturist Pierre Berthault in the early 1930s. In the last decades of the nineteenth century, Europeans had displaced Algerians from the colony’s best agricultural land and planted grapevines. Soon enough, wine was the primary export of a region whose mostly Muslim inhabitants didn’t drink alcohol. Settlers made fortunes while drawing large numbers of Algerians into salaried work for the first time. But the success of Algerian wine resulted in friction with French producers, challenging the traditional view that imperial possessions should complement, not compete with, the metropole. By the middle of the twentieth century, amid the fight for independence, Algerians had come to see the rows of vines as an especially hated symbol of French domination. After the war, Algerians had to decide how far they would go to undo the transformations the colonists had wrought—including the world’s fourth-biggest wine industry. Owen White examines Algeria’s experiment with nationalized wine production in worker-run vineyards, the pressures that resulted in the failure of that experiment, and the eventual uprooting of most of the country’s vines. With a special focus on individual experiences of empire, from the wealthiest Europeans to the poorest laborers in the fields, The Blood of the Colony shows the central role of wine in the economic life of French Algeria and in its settler culture. White makes clear that the industry left a long-term mark on the development of the nation.

Book Description
S. Bear Bergman is an acclaimed writer and lecturer on trans issues. In hir third essay collection, Bear tackles the concept of the "modern family" as the trans parent of a young son; in Bear's extended family "orchard," drag sisters, sperm-donor parents, and other relations provide more branches of love and support than a mere family tree. Defiantly queer yet full of tenderness and hilarity, Bear's book redefines the notion of what family is and can be. S. Bear Bergman's previous books are The Nearest Exit May Be Behind You, Butch is a Noun, and Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation.

Book Description
"26 short chapters based on 'Invited Editorials' published in the journal Bone Marrow Transplantation. They highlight a wide spectrum of unexpected connections between wine and blood. They are written in a light hearted and informative style avoiding jargon. Topics covered include everything from the random inactivation of the X chromosome to DNA and wine and cataracts and wine. The book is completely referenced and contains a number of colour prints, many of which were photographed by the author." Shaun R. McCann Professor Emeritus of Haematology and Academic Medicine, St James' Hospital and Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. Medical Director of the National Blood Transfusion Service 1995-1996 by invitation of the Minister of Health. Performed the first successful bone marrow transplant for leukaemia in Ireland in 1984. Author of > 200 medical articles, numerous book chapters and 5 books. He wrote a monthly wine article for the Irish Medical Times for 18 years. "I am honored to have played a small role in the development of this highly informative and entertaining book that links the two (apparently) unrelated disciplines of wine and hematology. Professor Shaun McCann's book, 'Wine and Blood: An Unlikely Pairing', has its roots in an exchange between me and Professor Robert Peter Gale, my long-time colleague and friend. Bob approached me to consider having McCann, an expert in hematopoietic cell transplantation as well as oenology, publish short essays in Bone Marrow Transplantation every month. It took some doing to get my attention, but once I read few of Professor McCann's engaging pieces, I was hooked. His knowledge of history, "the classics", hematology and the study of wine are second to none. The Journal then continued to receive many flattering endorsements of his work. By the time he wrote more than a dozen articles, I began pushing for a compilation of his work in a short book. Despite a number of hurdles that finally have been overcome, here is the result. I hope you enjoy the stories and amazing descriptions of the similarities and inter-relationships between hematology and wine. Please feel free to share this book with family, friends, and colleagues. Hillard M. Lazarus, Editor-in-Chief, Bone Marrow Transplantation. "Shaun McCann has been the Director of Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplantation in Dublin, St James Hospital, (for over 3 decades). He is an internationally renowned hematologist, currently involved in the Educational Program of the European Hematology Association (EHA). Professor McCann is also an expert on wine, certainly fostered by many years spent in Toscana, Italy, the land where the grape Sangiovese grows, to produce my favourite wine, Brunello di Montalcino.This Book will take you on an unexpected trip, to places where you will discover what Blood and Wine have in common, genetics, stem cells, selection, and beauty. It is a selection of Editorials Professor McCann has written over the years: they combine science, observations, mixed with an Irish wit, which will always keep you smiling."
