Roommates are not permanent, But the attachments are… Abigail A few weeks ago, I was a nobody at Gulf Coast University. Now I'm the most popular girl on campus. All thanks to my roommate, star quarterback Casey Turner. Everybody wants a piece of me, but all I want is Casey. He's sexy and funny, with the ability to literally charm a girl's pants off. Plus, he noticed me way back when I was invisible. As I climb higher up the social ladder, all the other girls who want him are sharpening their claws. Crushing on Casey when I was a shy, invisible nerd was hard. Wanting him now that I can be knocked off this throne is even harder. I know it's foolish to hope for something more than a fling with the university's most notorious player. But now that I'm in the spotlight, all I want is for Casey to give us a chance. Casey As the king on this campus, I have a reputation. I'm the best quarterback this school has ever had, and even though I'm a player not one of the girls on campus has ever tied me down. Too bad my rep has taken a hit ever since I moved in with the university's biggest nerd. Abigail Hopkins, geek and all-around good girl. Though I tried to resist my shy, nerdy roommate, things got hot and heavy. Turns out Abby is the one girl with the power to bring me to my knees and I didn't see it coming. At first fooling around with her is all fun and games, until she becomes the center of attention. Now, students want to either date her or befriend her. After Abby's dorky, good girl image gets a makeover, I start to wonder. If I'm the one who put her in the limelight, what happens when I decide that I want the school's most popular girl all to myself?

From completely different walks of life, three young men meet at Marine Corps boot camp, where they form a powerful bond of friendship on their journey to manhood. Vanguard Womack, known as 'Van" to his friends, is a naïve country boy from South Dakota, driven to avenge his brother's death in the attacks on 9/11. Jerome Jackson, or 'Jo" from the tough streets of Philly, is trying to escape the decadent gangbanging lifestyle of the hood and fulfill the demands of his newly acquired sense of patriotism. And the affluent yet scamming college kid, Alex Feinstein, lands himself in a jam and enlists solely to avoid the threat of jail time for a past indiscretion. Their intentions and backgrounds couldn't be more different, yet, while trying to survive boot camp, they form an unusual bond and become best friends. With war looming on the horizon, the men prepare for a worst-case scenario and purchase insurance policies with an unexpected windfall. The strength of their bond will come under scrutiny and be severely tested when the trio is sent overseas-left to the uncertainties of combat. Will the rigors of war and greed over the insurance policy cost them their friendship, freedom, and even their lives?

Now an original movie on Prime Video starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine! When Solène Marchand, the thirty-nine-year-old owner of a prestigious art gallery in Los Angeles, takes her daughter, Isabelle, to meet her favorite boy band, she does so reluctantly and at her ex-husband’s request. The last thing she expects is to make a connection with one of the members of the world-famous August Moon. But Hayes Campbell is clever, winning, confident, and posh, and the attraction is immediate. That he is all of twenty years old further complicates things. What begins as a series of clandestine trysts quickly evolves into a passionate relationship. It is a journey that spans continents as Solène and Hayes navigate each other’s disparate worlds: from stadium tours to international art fairs to secluded hideaways in Paris and Miami. And for Solène, it is as much a reclaiming of self, as it is a rediscovery of happiness and love. When their romance becomes a viral sensation, and both she and her daughter become the target of rabid fans and an insatiable media, Solène must face how her new status has impacted not only her life, but the lives of those closest to her.

A memorable and mouthwatering cook's tour of today's China As a freelance journalist and food writer living in Beijing, Jen Lin-Liu already had a ringside seat for China's exploding food scene. When she decided to enroll in a local cooking school--held in an unheated classroom with nary a measuring cup in sight--she jumped into the ring herself. Progressing from cooking student to noodle-stall and dumpling-house apprentice to intern at a chic Shanghai restaurant, she finds poor young men and women streaming in from the provinces in search of a "rice bowl" (living wage); a burgeoning urban middle class hungry for luxury after decades of turmoil and privation; and the mentors who take her in hand in the kitchen and beyond. Together they present an unforgettable slice of contemporary China in the full swing of social and economic transformation.

In Sicily, Normandy, and in the frozen hills of the Ardennes, America's airborne warriors proved themselves some of the toughest and most determined soldiers of World War 2. What made these soldiers so special? How were they recruited, how did they learn to jump and fight? What special tactics and equipment did they use? This title looks at what it was like to be one of the United States' airborne elite, through the experiences of the soldiers themselves. It is the story of the men who invariably led the way; the soldiers who flew to battle and walked home.

The Skin of the System objects to the idea that there is only one modernity—that of liberal capitalism. Starting from the simple conviction that whatever else East German socialism was, it was real, this book focuses on what made historical socialism different from social systems in the West. In this way, the study elicits the general question: what must we think in order to think an other system at all? To approach this question, Robinson turns to the remarkable writer Franz Fühmann, the East German who most single-mindedly dedicated himself to understanding what it means to transform from fascism to socialism. Fühmann's own serial loyalties to Hitler and Stalin inform his existential meditations on change and difference. By placing Fühmann's politically alert and intensely personal literary inventions in the context of an inquiry into radical social rupture, The Skin of the System wrests the brutal materiality of twentieth-century socialism from attempts to provincialize both its desires and its failures as antimodern ideological follies.

We are born with our father's names… The Father: I built my million-dollar company from the ground up with hard work and sweat. Now I can sit back and relax as my son takes on more of the burden. At least, that's what way I see things. My son? Not so much. He's uptight to my laidback, stern to my loose control, and he worries far too much. He disagrees with my lifestyle, but I've earned the way I live, and I'm not about to change. Unless, of course, it tears apart our already tenuous relationship. The Son: My father might have started our company, but I'm the one who made it what it is—a billion-dollar corporation. It required time and my smarts, but I know how to work hard. My father? Not so much. My father is casual and free-wheeling, with a penchant for dating younger women. He frustrates me to no end because he doesn't take life seriously enough. I will never know how we share the same DNA. But what happens when his free-wheeling view of life affects not just the company we built together but also our personal relationship?

The best therapist has fur and four legs... Aimee Price thought she had everything in the bag. Then she found out that her ex had stolen her work, sold it, and trashed her reputation on the side. Suddenly things didn't look as rosy as she'd thought. Luckily, she's not facing this on her own. Morgan Clarke, her brother's best friend and her new flame, is willing to stand next to her as she fights for what is right, including going with her to New York to fight for her reputation. Except now, she's got a whole new bag of troubles. The company that bought her stolen work wants to hire her—but only if she moves to New York. Meanwhile, Morgan has plans of his own... that don't include moving to New York City. He's planning to stay in Long Neck with his new contact Gracie to open up a dog-training business. To complicate matters even further, Aimee's parents announce that they're selling the family farm to a land developer and moving out of town. Aimee's brothers come up with a scheme to save the farm, but it will only work if Aimee invests in it. And stays home. Staying home would mean risking her shot at a big career and a move back to the city she once loved. That would mean leaving behind the man she's come to love and losing what she's been building with him. It would also mean turning the family farm over to a developer who will raze the family home. Aimee knows what her heart wants, but she's not sure she's ready to listen to it. After all, she's been burned by love before. The question is, will she choose Morgan, her family, and her home? Or will she run back to the city, take the big job, and move on with her life? The answer lies somewhere in the middle... if Aimee can find it. And if she can convince Morgan to wait for her.
