Microfinance began as the disbursement of tiny loans to the poor, which they could use to undertake informal income-generating activities. It went on to become one of the most popular international development policies of all time and a mainstay of local development and antipoverty programs across the Global South. The contributors to this multidisciplinary volume consider the origins, evolution, and outcomes of microfinance from a variety of perspectives and contend that it has been an unsuccessful approach to development. The contributors contend that over the last twenty years, microfinance policies have exacerbated poverty and exclusion, undermined gender empowerment, underpinned a massive growth in inequality, destroyed solidarity and trust in the community, and, overall, manifestly weakened those local economies of the Global South where it reached critical mass. They use qualitative anthropological, economic, and political-economic research to unpack the ideas and values that have allowed microfinance to “seduce” the world and blind so many to its corrosive effects.

A vivid and provocative literary criticism of famous women writers from Virginia Woolf to Zelda Fitzgerald by a “gifted miniaturist biographer” (Joyce Carol Oates) The novelist and essayist Elizabeth Hardwick is one of contemporary America’s most brilliant writers, and Seduction and Betrayal, in which she considers the careers of women writers as well as the larger question of the presence of women in literature, is her most passionate and concentrated work of criticism. A gallery of unforgettable portraits—of Virginia Woolf and Zelda Fitzgerald, Dorothy Wordsworth and Jane Carlyle—as well as a provocative reading of such works as Wuthering Heights, Hedda Gabler, and the poems of Sylvia Plath, Seduction and Betrayal is a virtuoso performance, a major writer’s reckoning with the relations between men and women, women and writing, writing and life.

Ten years ago, Zeke Blackstone was a smokin' hot bad boy actor, and his co-star, 18-year-old Ariel Cameron, was America's TV sweetheart. Their chemistry was instant. Now, twenty-five years later, Zeke is still smokin' hot, Ariel is one of the most respected actresses in America, and neither has willingly occupied the same room together since their divorce. But their beloved daughter is getting married and all she asks is that her estranged parents "make nice" for the wedding. Thrown together for the wedding festivities, the act of "making nice" turns into "something more," and the wildfire attraction between Zeke and Ariel reignites, stronger than ever.

"We're having sex until we're out of each other's system." Lucy is what the "Agency" made her: deadly, ruthless and calculating. It's stripped away much of the girl she used to be, but fear and lust remain. Troy inspires both. He always has—even when he hijacked Lucy's life and gave it to a shadowy government agency operating outside the law. In a world where every day is an op and every op could be your last, there's no room for emotion. Whatever gets you through—the training, the thrills, the sex—you take and are grateful. Even as fellow agents are culled by unknown assassins, Lucy and Troy remain locked in a breathless clinch of deception, distrust and desire. At any moment, one could be tasked to kill the other, and at the Agency, protocol rules. And cancellation is forever.

Three shifters walk into a bar… After a few drinks, the black leopard shifter says, “I met my mate at the Middlemarch Ball. She wanted a one-night fling—one perfect night of passion, she said. One look was all I needed to know she was my fated mate. My Emily is a human, and she had no intention of taking a second chance on love.” “That’s nothing,” the dragon shifter retorted. “I had only one use for women, but my human mate had a long-term crush on me. Talk about determination. We ended up working on an investigation together—a fake engagement thing—and haven’t been apart since.” The leopard and the dragon turned to the polar bear. “I met my lady at a train station,” the bear shifter shared. “She came for a vacation in our small town, and she never left.” He grinned. “She calls me her alpha male, and I call her my fish-out-of-water.” You’ll love this paranormal shapeshifter romance box set because it contains sassy women who know what they want and strong, alpha men who will protect them to the end.

Tattooed mer-shifters are climbing out of the secret depths to claim their soul mates and save their race. Determined warlord Torun cannot wait to claim Lucy, who mistook him for a shipwreck survivor and pulled his injured body from the ocean. All his instincts tell him she is his soul mate. Now she must join with him and give him a child. Lucy can't believe the words coming out of this dominant male. He insists her destiny is to become a mermaid queen and mother to his future children. The one thing "destiny" forgot to mention was that Lucy's a broke divorcee who can't even have a child. It's really too bad, because his gorgeous lips are all too kissable, and she'd love to see his iridescent gold tattoos moving as he flexed those broad, hard pectorals under the water... But Torun's in more immediate danger than a bad bump to the head, and Lucy is the only one who can save him. Their choices will either save the entire race of mermen, or destroy it. This is a complete novel with a happy ending. Also, it features steamy mer shifter love scenes, underwater gun fights, and a giant female octopus named Mr. Huggles. Fall in love with these men of the sea!
