"...a courageous book. His relentless pursuit of truth is strikingly honest." -James Churches, co-author, Stories of Men, Meaning and Prayer Molested as a child, abandoned by egotistical hypocrisy, culture shocked and terrorized by the gangs of Madrid, Link Wilfley runs from suicidal tendencies and his demons with fists, drugs, alcohol, and professional rugby. In the Sin Bin (a rugby penalty box) spans five continents, where Link crosses paths with the salty characters of the Earth. The demons of trauma past cannot be defeated without facing them, however, and the turmoil of pain and confusion mean repeated visits to jail, where he finds the greatest evil of all. He returns to the States ashamed and lost, only to be saved by a woman who will punch him in the face, call him out, and mother his five children. Disturbing, unreservedly direct, and surprisingly comical, this rugged treatise on masculinity is the physical and emotional journey of a young man doing the hard work to heal the wounds of wicked circumstances.

From the romantic liaisons of Peter the Great to the birth of the Russian 'queen', this collection of essays presents recent research from the new field of Russian masculinity studies. Peasant patriarchs, aristocratic dandies, anxious young bureaucrats, workers in search of father figures, heroic warriors, promiscuous bathhouse attendants and vodka-soaked athletic stars populate this volume. Its essays take as a starting point the notion that masculinity, like femininity, has a history.

Professional hockey player Noah Rodgers was a ladies’ man. He didn’t do relationships. He liked to keep his options open, no-strings attached. And he made no secret of his rules. Jordan Baker managed The Sin Bin restaurant. She was a people person who enjoyed being in charge and rocked a mean pencil skirt and blazer. Still recovering from her last disastrous break-up, she was concentrating on her career. She wasn’t interested in taking chances with her heart. Keeping Noah and his flirtatious ways at bay proved difficult– virtually impossible. He was charming, devastatingly handsome, and focused on her. And she liked it. Could no strings attached be enough for her?
