Book Description
The Norwood Nanny Chronicles begin . . . When American orphan, Bree, arrives at Norwood College—the elite English training ground of nannies to the world’s rich and powerful—she knows that making it through the first year to land a spot in the coveted certificate program is the key to her future. She also knows she can’t go it alone, bonding quickly with her groupmates: an errant (and broke) nobleman, son of one of England’s oldest families; the ambitious and whip-smart daughter of a self-made immigrant; and the ditzy, husband-hunting daughter of a disgraced playboy aristocrat. What none of them realize is that there is more to Norwood than meets the eye: the school itself may unlock the secrets of Bree’s own shadowy past, and the classmates’ very lives will depend on their ability to work together to meet the dangers ahead.

The single dad falling for the younger nanny seems like such a cliché until it happens to you.Except that's not going to be me.I'm not going to be the mom who fell for her daughter's manny, even if Preston is hot.He's also younger than me and completely off limits.At least that's what I keep telling myself.But it doesn't help that he's staying in my pool house.Doting on my daughter and restoring a sense of calm and order to our busy lives.But it's more than that. This is more than just a job for him--he cares for my daughter, for me. And the more time we spend together, the more I'm tempted to cross that line.I don't mix business with pleasure.Or at least, I've never been tempted to until him.

Nanny Families
Author: Eldén, Sara
Publisher: Bristol University Press
ISBN: 1529201535
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence Paying privately for childcare is a growing phenomenon worldwide, a trend mirrored in Sweden despite the prevalence there of publicly funded daycare. This book combines theories of family practices, care and childhood studies with the personal perspectives of nannies, au pairs, parents and children to provide new understandings of what constitutes care in nanny families. The authors investigate the ways in which all the participants experience the caring situation, and expose the possibilities and problems of nanny and au pair care. Their study illuminates the ways in which paid domestic care workers 'do' family and care; in doing so, it contributes to wider political and scientific discussions of inequalities at the global and local level, reproduced in and between families, in the context of rapidly changing welfare states.

Book Description
#1 The Nanny and the PlayboyWayne Myers is a playboy, and doesn't have time in his life for children. When a little boy is handed to him with the claim to be his son, Wayne knows without a doubt that he's not the father. Until he can prove it, though, what the hell is he to do with a damn kid? Temperance Michaels has been a nanny for twelve years, and she's tired of the constant heartache when she has to walk away. She knows she has to find something else to do with her life, so when she gets a call from Wayne, her first instinct is to turn him down. But after hearing about the young boy who has lost his mother, she caves. Now that Wayne has a nanny, he intends to lead his own life again. But he didn't anticipate being attracted to the raven-haired beauty. Temperance is not like any of the women he's ever been with, and she's getting under his skin. With Temperance and Timothy in his life, Wayne has the chance to find out what it's like to have a family of his own, at least for a while. After temporarily enjoying having a woman and a kid, he intends to give them both up. Will this playboy take a chance or return to his womanizing ways? #2 The Rancher's NannyCaleb Pole has sworn off women. After his completely selfish wife, who wanted nothing to do with his ranch or their daughter, divorced him, he truly believes there is no woman out there for him. But his little girl is getting older, and he can't keep relying on his mother. There's only one solution ... a nanny. After her fiancé left her at the alter in favor of her sister, Madeline Lennox has sworn off men and romance. The books are all lies. There is no man out there for her. Still, working at the Pole Ranch as a nanny is a dream come true. She adores the little girl, and of course, Caleb looks like one of the heroes has stepped right out of the books she loves so much. The chemistry between her and Caleb is intense, but neither of them expect to fall in love. Nor do they expect to plan a future with both of them in the starring roles. It's time for Caleb to prove to Maddie-and himself-that not only does love exist, but he's her leading man.

Expect the Unexpected
Author: Stefano Cotrozzi
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 0567568385
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
This monograph on biblical linguistics is a highly specialized, pragmatic investigation of the controversial question of "foregrounding"—the deviation from some norm or convention—in Old Testament narratives. The author presents and examines the two main sources of pragmatic foregrounding: events or states deviating from well-established schemata, structures of reader expectation that can be manipulated by the narrator to highlight specific "chunks" of discourse; and evaluative devices, which are used by the narrator to indicate to the reader the point of the story and direct its interpretation. Cotrozzi critiques the particular evaluative device known as the "historic present", a narrative strategy that employs the present tense to describe past event. He tests two main theories that support this device by using a cross-linguistic model of the historical present drawing upon a variety of languages. Cotrozzi ultimately refutes these theories with a thorough examination and detailed refutation. He concludes with a study of a particular Hebraic verb as a particular marker of represented perception, a technique whereby the character's perceptions are expressed directly from its point of view.
