Book Description
These legal eagles might love their law and order, but they also know how to have a gavel-banging good time. Can late-night debriefings develop into lasting love for these ten couples? You be the judge! Her Faux Fiancé: Hotshot corporate lawyer Erik Sigurdson breezes into town determined to survive a family reunion. He makes his ex, Analise Thordarson, an irresistible offer: pretend to be his fiancée and he’ll lend her the money to pay off her grandfather’s debts. But when their fake engagement is complicated by a real pregnancy, they must sort out who is using whom and if this faux relationship could lead to a real future. Bride by the Book: Small-town Arkansas attorney Garner Holt needs an assistant to sort out his cluttered office, but he didn’t expect a super-secretary like Miss Angelina Brownwood. She’s perfect until an online search reveals a flaw: Angelina isn’t a secretary. Does her secret mean he can’t make this unique woman his for life? One Day’s Loving: Mae Alden likes her quiet life—she’s certainly not cut out to defy convention like her sisters. But everything changes when Boston attorney James Collins reads her father’s will and Mae must choose between who she is and the marriage everyone expects. Could James himself offer the answer to both? The Amulet: In their first life, Jackson Hawthorne was forced to watch as his fiancée was tried, convicted, and hung. Now an attorney in modern-day Salem, Massachusetts, can he get to the bottom of the mysterious threats to gorgeous Abby Corey’s life—and stop history from repeating itself? Find Me: Amanda Gillespie never bargained on seeing Jackson Holstenar again after she was asked to leave the law firm where they worked. Now he’s in the weird position of trying to help her become his best pal’s ideal girl. With a little help from fate, these two confused hearts might just find a way back to each other for good. Looking for Prince Charming: Glory agrees to pose as her fellow lawyer and boss’s girlfriend while he campaigns for Lord Mayor of Melbourne—which might not be the best idea since she’s already in love with the charming playboy. Counterpoint: The attorney general assigns Ciara Alafita to find out if defense attorney Bryce Gannon is corrupt, but this take-no-prisoners defense attorney is as elusive as the identity of the person trying to kill him. If she can’t convince Bryce to let the feds protect him or to give up his current case, she might never get the chance to admit the truth or her feelings to him. Trial Run: Nina Ryan was just doing her sister a favor when she agreed to sit on a mock jury to help form a defense for a confessed killer. But the evidence isn’t clear-cut, and it seems David Maitland, the sexy new guy in town that she’s falling for, might have something to do with this case. When the suspect ends up dead, can Nina accept some harsh realities to her future with David? Dangerous Decisions: Someone is feeding the feds info on alleged illegal activities at the Franklin Everly law firm, and there’s enough evidence to put Carino Montgomery in the hot seat when hired gun Ramon Terrones arrives to uncover the mole. But from the moment they meet, Ramon relentlessly pursues Carino, triggering a whirlwind romance packed with fierce emotions and secrets that won’t remain buried. Unmasking Love: Sparks fly when Julie Payne meets Trace Watkins at a costume party, and they end the night beneath the sheets while literally hiding behind their masks. But their real identities present a serious snag: Trace manages the bank Julie happens to be suing for her client. Will they turn this nasty trick of fate into a treat? Sensuality Level: Sensual

The Big Trial
Author: Lawrence M. Friedman
Publisher: University Press of Kansas
ISBN: 070062077X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
The trial of O. J. Simpson was a sensation, avidly followed by millions of people, but it was also, in a sense, nothing new. One hundred years earlier the Lizzie Borden trial had held the nation in thrall. The names (and the crimes) may change, but the appeal is enduring—and why this is, how it works, and what it means are what Lawrence Friedman investigates in The Big Trial. What is it about these cases that captures the public imagination? Are the “headline trials” of our period different from those of a century or two ago? And what do we learn from them, about the nature of our society, past and present? To get a clearer picture, Friedman first identifies what certain headline trials have in common, then considers particular cases within each grouping. The political trial, for instance, embraces treason and spying, dissenters and radicals, and, to varying degrees, corruption and fraud. Celebrity trials involve the famous—whether victims, as in the case of Charles Manson, or defendants as disparate as Fatty Arbuckle and William Kennedy Smith—but certain high-profile cases, such as those Friedman categorizes as tabloid trials, can also create celebrities. The fascination of whodunit trials can be found in the mystery surrounding the case: Are we sure about O. J. Simpson? What about Claus von Bulow—tried, in another sensational case, for sending his wife into a coma.? An especially interesting type of case Friedman groups under the rubric worm in the bud. These are cases, such as that of Lizzie Borden, that seem to put society itself on trial; they raise fundamental social questions and often suggest hidden and secret pathologies. And finally, a small but important group of cases proceed from moral panic, the Salem witchcraft trials being the classic instance, though Friedman also considers recent examples. Though they might differ in significant ways, these types of trials also have important similarities. Most notably, they invariably raise questions about identity (Who is this defendant? A villain? An innocent unfairly accused?). And in this respect, The Big Trial shows us, the headline trial reflects a critical aspect of modern society. Reaching across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to the latest outrage, from congressional hearings to lynching and vigilante justice to public punishment, from Dr. Sam Sheppard (the “fugitive”) to Jeffrey Dahmer (the “cannibal”), The Rosenbergs to Timothy McVeigh, the book presents a complex picture of headline trials as displays of power—moments of “didactic theater”" that demonstrate in one way or another whether a society is fair, whom it protects, and whose interest it serves.

You in Me
Author: Lorraine J. Dorival
Publisher: Austin Macauley Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
You in Me chronicles my journey of healing, learning, and growth from the small Caribbean Island of Dominica to Canada and recognizes the many misunderstandings encountered along the way. Such misunderstandings could keep us perpetually stuck in limiting beliefs and prohibit our progression to a more productive and enjoyable life. When a change of course in life is desired in order to accommodate a more successful integration in a fast-developing society, it is imperative that these misunderstandings be faced with probing questions as to why they occur and our participation and contributing factors in causing them. Our participation may sometimes be mainly unconscious, making the cause difficult to detect. The effect of and on behavior is a good indicator that something is amiss and may need some mode of adjustment. We all share that commonality in unconscious behavior, and the poetry You in Me speaks to the reconciliation of relationships with oneself, others and more importantly, the spirit, which gives fervor and strength to drive the unknown to awareness. When brought to the light of day, misunderstandings may be examined for deeper reasons and meanings, and by the grace of the ever-present spirit, we may be renewed and replenished. A conscious effort is required to bring about these restorations, and You in Me addresses some of these reconciliations. Therefore, with passion, creativity, and sensitivity, I invite you to join me on this engaging adventure of self-discovery and evolution, which sheds some light on a hopeful and brilliant tomorrow.
