Book Description
Tanner Lewis had wanted his amazing friendship with the girl next door to become something more. She wasn't interested in being his girlfriend, though. So they'd gone to different universities and he'd never heard from her again. He still thought about her. He hadn't met a woman who could take her place. Stephanie Davis is newly single and vacationing with her sister instead of the man who she'd thought she would spend the rest of her life with. Now she's determined to have fun and shed the memories of Connor forever. When she runs into Tanner, she almost didn't recognize him after thirteen years. He'd lost his baby fat and he was downright handsome. Suddenly she missed their long talks and the laughter. Is there a chance Stephanie would answer differently today if Tanner asked her out? Does he have the nerve to try?

Book Description
Raul wants to run from his past. Marie wants to settle down and build a future. Can he stand still long enough to let love heal his broken heart? Living life in the fast lane on and off the Formula One racetrack has proven to be a race Raul can’t win. There are limits to how long a man can hide behind his charismatic mask and pretend he isn’t broken inside. But falling head-over-heels in love with Marie has given him a new lease on life and opened a whole new world of possibilities. When he invites the vivacious school principal to travel the world with him, he’s bursting with excitement to begin their new adventure. But a different kind of adventure just showed up on Marie’s doorstep in the form of a sweet foster child. He’s in desperate need of Marie’s special brand of love, and there’s no way she can turn him away—not when she’s ached for the day she’d share her heart and home with a child. When Raul meets Marie’s new foster-son, the pain he’s run from for so long roars back to life, causing him to wonder if he has what it takes to open his heart again. Marie knows she was meant to be a mother. Raul doesn’t know if he has what it takes to be a father. Little Sam is depending on them both. But a mysterious package from the past just might hold the key to unlock all their hearts.

The Politics of Sincerity
Author: Elizabeth Markovits
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271046112
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
A growing frustration with “spin doctors,” doublespeak, and outright lying by public officials has resulted in a deep public cynicism regarding politics today. It has also led many voters to seek out politicians who engage in “straight talk,” out of a hope that sincerity signifies a dedication to the truth. While this is an understandable reaction to the degradation of public discourse inflicted by political hype, Elizabeth Markovits argues that the search for sincerity in the public arena actually constitutes a dangerous distraction from more important concerns, including factual truth and the ethical import of political statements. Her argument takes her back to an examination of the Greek notion of parrhesia (frank speech), and she draws from her study of the Platonic dialogues a nuanced understanding of this ancient analogue of “straight talk.” She shows Plato to have an appreciation for rhetoric rather than a desire to purge it from public life, providing insights into the ways it can contribute to a fruitful form of deliberative democracy today.

Book Description
She's just a girl next door and a pastry chef. Why would a sexy billionaire ever want more than one steamy night with her? Ryker: Marriage and relationships aren’t for me. I have no desire to revisit my failures. Now I work hard and play hard–period. Until suddenly there she is. Sexy. Unexpected. Sweet. Unforgettable. One unprecedented night with her only whets my appetite for more. She’s been burned before, which makes her suspicious of me. Doesn’t think she’s good enough, that I’d prefer someone more… society. If only she knew how uninterested I am in other women since I first laid eyes on her. And I hope she never knows the things I think about when I look at her now. Fairy tales endings are meant for children’s books. I know that. But I write my own stories… “Ava Ryan is hands down the queen of fairytale inspired novels." (Just Love Books)

Book Description
At eighteen, Sierra Berutelli watched in disappointment as the man of her dreams walked into her father's office. Despite his striking good looks, she knew that if he was connected to her father, he couldn't be the man for her. But then that disappointment changed to horror when she realized that her father had tried to kill the dashing stranger. Rushing the battered man to the hospital, she did everything in her power to save him. She was relieved that he wasn't working with father, but she knew she could never have a future with the handsome stranger if he knew she was related to Joe Berutelli. Now, six years later, after changing her last name and breaking off all ties with her father and his friends, Sierra came face to face with the man. He looked even more amazing, but she had to stay away from him. He was dangerous and she knew he would hate her if he ever found out she was the daughter of the man who almost killed him. Drake Harrison couldn't believe how perfect Sierra was. After searching so many years for the woman who had been by his side in the hospital, trying to discover her identity, he was ready to give up that dream girl because the real Sierra was so much more enticing, his ideal match. He didn't understand how she could be warm, passionate, and yielding to his embrace one moment, then pulling back in fear the next. But he was determined to discover all of Sierra's secrets.
