Ryu's plans are nearing fruition...but he can't take any joy in this progress. Not now that he knows the identity of the man responsible for all he and his siblings' pain. Someone far closer than he could have dreamed. The only solace he finds is watching Delilah dance. Delilah's attraction to Ryu makes no sense, and she would have been happy to ignore it if not for the threats she's received. Threats against her little sister. Threats to hurt her if Delilah isn't able to find out more information on the Horsemen. Ryu and Delilah don't trust each other--and with good reason--but they can't deny the chemistry that sparks to life every time they touch. As they grow closer and closer, so does the danger to Delilah's sister...and to the Horsemen.

Millions of Christians have struggled with how to reconcile God's love and God's judgment: Has God created billions of people over thousands of years only to select a few to go to heaven and everyone else to suffer forever in hell? Is this acceptable to God? How is this "good news"? Troubling questions—so troubling that many have lost their faith because of them. Others only whisper the questions to themselves, fearing or being taught that they might lose their faith and their church if they ask them out loud. But what if these questions trouble us for good reason? What if the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by heaven, hell, and salvation are very different from how we have come to understand them? What if it is God who wants us to face these questions? Author, pastor, and innovative teacher Rob Bell presents a deeply biblical vision for rediscovering a richer, grander, truer, and more spiritually satisfying way of understanding heaven, hell, God, Jesus, salvation, and repentance. The result is the discovery that the "good news" is much, much better than we ever imagined. Love wins.

In the hands of a genius a love letter can become a great, even an immortal work of literature in its own right. Love Letters: Great Literary Romances examines the lives of great writers (John Keats; Franz Kafka; Leonard Woolf), a celebrated composer (Leoš Janácek) and two great lovers of mediaeval Europe (Abelard and Heloise) to see their turbulent and sometimes tormented romantic lives played out in the passionate declarations of love in the letters they wrote.

Despite the success and significance of Jonathan Franzen's fiction, his work has received relatively little scholarly attention. Aiming to fill this conspicuous gap, Jonathan Franzen and the Romance of Community analyzes each of Franzen's five novels in chronological order to reveal an interior logic animating his work. Integrating various formal and ideological perspectives to illuminate Franzen's work, Jesús Blanco Hidalga demonstrates that the concepts of salvation and redemption, typical of romance narratives, run throughout Franzen's fiction. Even as he re-assesses and expands the familiar interpretations of Franzen's work, Blanco Hidalga shows how these salvation narratives are used for self-legitimization not only by the characters, but by the writer himself. Combining critical rigor with interpretative boldness, Jonathan Franzen and the Romance of Community offers a new theoretical approach to a major contemporary author.
