A New York Times Notable Book, and a “chaotic, laugh riot” (San Francisco Chronicle) of a memoir. Shalom Auslander was raised with a terrified respect for God. Even as he grew up and was estranged from his community, his religion and its traditions, he could not find the path to a life where he didn’t struggle daily with the fear of God’s formidable wrath. Foreskin’s Lament reveals Auslander’s “painfully, cripplingly, incurably, miserably religious” youth in a strict, socially isolated Orthodox Jewish community, and recounts his rebellion and efforts to make a new life apart from it. His combination of unrelenting humor and anger renders a rich and fascinating portrait of a man grappling with his faith and family.

While working for the British intelligence services, Lee Carmichael and Tristan Rhodes did their bit to protect their country. Much more than mere colleagues, together they now head one of the most prominent cybersecurity companies in the world. However, the relationship they’ve shared since university is missing something vital—or rather, someone. That someone is Thea Nelson, head of one of their cryptography teams. After a traumatic event left her mentally and emotionally scarred and fearing for her life, Thea turned her back on everything and everyone she knew and went to London in search of a fresh start. She found it when she went to work for Archer CyberSec, a world leader in the field in which she’d chosen to work. Having sworn off relationships, she is instead content to fantasise from afar about the two gorgeous, unavailable men for whom she ultimately works. Everything changes when Lee and Tris ask Thea to accompany them to a cybersecurity conference. The unattainable becomes possible, but then the spectre from Thea’s past returns and casts a threatening shadow over both their happiness and their future… Keywords: boss, British, captivating romance, contemporary, contemporary romance, damsel in distress, Dom, dominance, dominant hero, domination and submission, drama, emotional journey, English, erotic romance, female submissive, HEA, hot, hot romance, loyalty, menage, menage romance, modern romance, proposal, proposal romance, protecting, protector romance, rescue romance, rescuer, revenge, romance, romance books, romance ebook, romantic suspense, romantic suspense series, series, steamy novels, wealthy, wealthy hero, wedding, wedding romance, workplace romance

I' ve been rejected all my life— always too loud, too messy, too much. I thought joining the spirit world— full of vampires, werewolves and magical beings living alongside humans— would change that, but as an anomaly without a clan, I' m more unwelcome than ever. Instead of power and sexy trysts with hot immortals, I end up working as a courier just to survive. I got turned into a crow shifter and all I got out of it is a sucky, dead-end job. However, when I make a delivery and instead find the vampire leader' s corpse, the stake that killed him in my hand, standing on the sidelines stops being an option. Without a clan to speak for me, I have no choice but to figure out who framed me and find the real killer on my own. Surrounded by people I can' t trust, in a world that has no place for me, I' ve got to use every skill in my arsenal to stay one step ahead. They say a little mischief is good for the soul, but too much of it can kill you.

What's the worst that can happen? Are there aliens out there somewhere? What happens when I die? In Do You Know What?, our favourite sportsman-turned-comedian-slash-leftfield-thinker Freddie Flintoff expels an eclectic and entertaining smorgasbord of anecdotes, impressions, reflections, ruminations, musings, cogitations, observations, rants, confessions and pearls of wisdom on all aspects of life's rich tapestry. As a prolific philosopher of life's most unfathomable questions, Freddie uses his own inexplicable experiences - from the sublime: giving up booze, shopping in Poundland with his family, exploring the wonders of the universe with his mates; to the ridiculous: wrestling with WWE's finest, singing in a musical on the West End, pranking teammates - to help us all gain the comfort of his life mantra: What's the worst that can happen? Do You Know What? is an unexpectedly helpful, occasionally silly and absorbing brain dump on life and everything it holds, from one of Britain's most-loved national treasures.

With its unparalleled coverage of English slang of all types (from 18th-century cant to contemporary gay slang), and its uncluttered editorial apparatus, Cassell's Dictionary of Slang was warmly received when its first edition appeared in 1998. 'Brilliant.' said Mark Lawson on BBC2's The Late Review; 'This is a terrific piece of work - learned, entertaining, funny, stimulating' said Jonathan Meades in The Evening Standard.But now the world's best single-volume dictionary of English slang is about to get even better. Jonathon Green has spent the last seven years on a vast project: to research in depth the English slang vocabulary and to hunt down and record written instances of the use of as many slang words as possible. This has entailed trawling through more than 4000 books - plus song lyrics, TV and movie scripts, and many newspapers and magazines - for relevant material. The research has thrown up some fascinating results
