Please me and tease me, I whisper. The two men were only too happy to comply. I’ve been with Dads and Daughters for a while now. Some people would say I’m a hedonist. I just think I like to enjoy the best of what life has to offer. After all, these long-haul truckers need relief, and I’m just the curvy girl to provide it. But as you can guess, my work generates a lot of dirty laundry. So I head to the Lodge’s laundromat one day to do a load. But I’m surprised by two gorgeous men! Aaron and Andrew dump their filthy loads on me too. And Heaven help me, but I *adore* being with the two alpha males. But are Aaron and Andrew okay with my dirty past? And what happens when I discover I’m expecting their baby? Naomi is no angel, but that’s why we love her. She’s a woman who enjoys her curves and isn’t afraid to flaunt them, especially when there are two OTT alpha males showing their appreciation. Warning: swords cross in this book, but that’s what makes it tasty! No cheating, no cliffhangers, and always an HEA for my readers.

ISBN: 0520402286

2022 International Labor History Association Book of the Year A dramatic, deeply researched account of how legal repression and vigilantism brought down the Wobblies—and how the destruction of their union haunts us to this day. In 1917, the Industrial Workers of the World was rapidly gaining strength and members. Within a decade, this radical union was effectively destroyed, the victim of the most remarkable campaign of legal repression and vigilantism in American history. Under the Iron Heel is the first comprehensive account of this campaign. Founded in 1905, the IWW offered to the millions of workers aggrieved by industrial capitalism the promise of a better world. But its growth, coinciding with World War I and the Russian Revolution and driven by uncompromising militancy, was seen by powerful capitalists and government officials as an existential threat that had to be eliminated. In Under the Iron Heel, Ahmed White documents the torrent of legal persecution and extralegal, sometimes lethal violence that shattered the IWW. In so doing, he reveals the remarkable courage of those who faced this campaign, lays bare the origins of the profoundly unequal and conflicted nation we know today, and uncovers disturbing truths about the law, political repression, and the limits of free speech and association in class society.

From David Graeber, the bestselling author of The Dawn of Everything and Debt—“a master of opening up thought and stimulating debate” (Slate)—a powerful argument against the rise of meaningless, unfulfilling jobs…and their consequences. Does your job make a meaningful contribution to the world? In the spring of 2013, David Graeber asked this question in a playful, provocative essay titled “On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs.” It went viral. After one million online views in seventeen different languages, people all over the world are still debating the answer. There are hordes of people—HR consultants, communication coordinators, telemarketing researchers, corporate lawyers—whose jobs are useless, and, tragically, they know it. These people are caught in bullshit jobs. Graeber explores one of society’s most vexing and deeply felt concerns, indicting among other villains a particular strain of finance capitalism that betrays ideals shared by thinkers ranging from Keynes to Lincoln. “Clever and charismatic” (The New Yorker), Bullshit Jobs gives individuals, corporations, and societies permission to undergo a shift in values, placing creative and caring work at the center of our culture. This book is for everyone who wants to turn their vocation back into an avocation and “a thought-provoking examination of our working lives” (Financial Times).
