Book Description
Ruthless Dominant protectors allow nothing and no one to stand between them and their submissives. INITIATION Falling in love was never an option… Hardened Hawkeye agent Logan Powell does women a favor by avoiding emotional entanglements. They deserve to be cherished—something he’s not capable of…until he meets gorgeous Jennifer Berklee. But her innocence is his undoing, and not even his elite military training is enough to lock down his jaded heart. After Jennifer’s engagement ended in an embarrassing abandonment at the altar, she vows to protect her wounded heart. The impossibly dangerous warrior who makes her shiver with a single glance is the last man she should want…but everything about him makes her ache to surrender. When they’re stranded at a secluded mountain property during a storm, Logan can’t stop himself from tearing down her emotional walls. Jennifer can’t resist giving him her all. Neither imagines they’ll fall desperately in love. But then Logan’s job intrudes, and his life soon hangs in the balance. Is giving her trust in his dangerous world too high a cost for his love? TEMPTATION Falling in love is a risk he can't afford... Staff Sergeant Pierce Holden is unrelentingly ambitious, until he visits home and realizes his little sister’s best friend has become a stunningly gorgeous woman…who’s being romanced by a player. No matter how Pierce fights himself, Ella fires his protective instincts—and his libido. Ella Gibson wants to share her future with someone kind and deserving. When ridiculously sexy Pierce interrupts her date with a prospective husband, she's furious. Sure she had a crush on her bestie’s hot brother years ago, but now the elite Special Forces operator is everything she doesn't want in a man—a forceful and relentless warrior who is married to his job. Still, once they’re alone, temptation proves too strong, especially when it’s clear Pierce is determined to claim her for his own. Though she has a million reasons to resist, she can’t help surrendering herself to his passion. But when deep, dangerous secrets threaten everything Pierce holds dear, will investing her tomorrows on the battle-hardened hero be too risky for Ella? DETERMINATION It’s his job to protect her, and doing so may destroy them both. Former military hero and sworn protector Kane Patterson has never forgotten Morgan Holden, the brunette beauty he’d kissed at a friend’s wedding. When she’s approached by a wannabe Dom at his favorite club, he acts. No one but him is touching her gorgeous body. The command in his voice and possession in the bodyguard’s irresistible eyes affect her as deeply now as they had two years ago. But after embarrassing herself in Kane's arms once, she’s vowed never to risk her heart again, despite his powerful allure. Now he’s back, demanding a second chance. Their reunion takes an unexpected turn when Kane uncovers a shocking connection between her and his latest case. After he’s assigned to uncover her secrets, they’re forced into hiding. Once she’s given herself to him completely, the awful truth is revealed, and his stunning betrayal shatters her. How can Kane convince her of his loyalty—and, more— his love?

Spirit Run
Author: Noe Alvarez
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 1948226472
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
In this New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice, the son of working-class Mexican immigrants flees a life of labor in fruit-packing plants to run in a Native American marathon from Canada to Guatemala in this "stunning memoir that moves to the rhythm of feet, labor, and the many landscapes of the Americas" (Catriona Menzies-Pike, author of The Long Run). Growing up in Yakima, Washington, Noé Álvarez worked at an apple–packing plant alongside his mother, who “slouched over a conveyor belt of fruit, shoulder to shoulder with mothers conditioned to believe this was all they could do with their lives.” A university scholarship offered escape, but as a first–generation Latino college–goer, Álvarez struggled to fit in. At nineteen, he learned about a Native American/First Nations movement called the Peace and Dignity Journeys, epic marathons meant to renew cultural connections across North America. He dropped out of school and joined a group of Dené, Secwépemc, Gitxsan, Dakelh, Apache, Tohono O’odham, Seri, Purépecha, and Maya runners, all fleeing difficult beginnings. Telling their stories alongside his own, Álvarez writes about a four–month–long journey from Canada to Guatemala that pushed him to his limits. He writes not only of overcoming hunger, thirst, and fear—dangers included stone–throwing motorists and a mountain lion—but also of asserting Indigenous and working–class humanity in a capitalist society where oil extraction, deforestation, and substance abuse wreck communities. Running through mountains, deserts, and cities, and through the Mexican territory his parents left behind, Álvarez forges a new relationship with the land, and with the act of running, carrying with him the knowledge of his parents’ migration, and—against all odds in a society that exploits his body and rejects his spirit—the dream of a liberated future. "This book is not like any other out there. You will see this country in a fresh way, and you might see aspects of your own soul. A beautiful run." —Luís Alberto Urrea, author of The House of Broken Angels "When the son of two Mexican immigrants hears about the Peace and Dignity Journeys—'epic marathons meant to renew cultural connections across North America'—he’s compelled enough to drop out of college and sign up for one. Spirit Run is Noé Álvarez’s account of the four months he spends trekking from Canada to Guatemala alongside Native Americans representing nine tribes, all of whom are seeking brighter futures through running, self–exploration, and renewed relationships with the land they’ve traversed." —Runner's World, Best New Running Books of 2020 "An anthem to the landscape that holds our identities and traumas, and its profound power to heal them." —Francisco Cantú, author of The Line Becomes a River

A New York Times bestseller 'A sensation ... a rollicking tale well told' - The Times At the heart of Born to Run lies a mysterious tribe of Mexican Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are reputed to be the best distance runners in the world; in 1993, one of them, aged 57, came first in a prestigious 100-mile race wearing a toga and sandals.

Travelling to labs at Harvard, Nike, and elsewhere, he comes across an incredible cast of characters, including the woman who recently broke the world record for 100 miles and for her encore ran a 2:50 marathon in a bikini, pausing to down a beer at the 20 mile mark.

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
Author: Haruki Murakami
Publisher: Vintage Canada
ISBN: 0307373088
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
From the best-selling author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and After Dark, a rich and revelatory memoir about writing and running, and the integral impact both have made on his life. In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Haruki Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he’d completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a slew of critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and—even more important—on his writing. Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and includes settings ranging from Tokyo’s Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvellous lens of sport emerges a cornucopia of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs and the experience, after the age of fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back. By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is both for fans of this masterful yet guardedly private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in distance running.
