No way was he giving her up—not even to her mother. Jason knows he should keep his distance from Lilly Nelson. Someone wants her dead, though, and something about her arouses Jason's most protective instincts. But what is he willing to risk to keep Lilly safe?

So when Lindsey Wellington comes along with promises of acquittal, Bart suppresses his libido and focuses on the lovely lawyer's every word. This was not the first case Lindsey had imagined—and not falling for your sexy client was one lesson they'd overlooked in law school! But with Bart's future at stake, Lindsey will have to ignore her heart...or she could lose it all.

In war films, the portrayal of deep friendships between men is commonplace. Given the sexually anxious nature of the American imagination, such bonds are often interpreted as carrying a homoerotic subtext. In Armed Forces , Robert Eberwein argues that an expanded conception of masculinity and sexuality is necessary in order to understand more fully the intricacy of these intense and emotional human relationships. Drawing on a range of examples from silent films such as What Price Glory and Wings to sound era works like The Deer Hunter, Platoon, Three Kings, and Pearl Harbor , he shows how close readings of war films, particularly in relation to their cultural contexts, demonstrate that depictions of heterosexual love, including those in romantic triangles, actually help to define and clarify the nonsexual nature of male love. The book also explores the problematic aspects of masculinity and sexuality when threatened by wounds, as in The Best Years of Our Lives, and considers the complex and persistent analogy between weapons and the male body, as in Full Metal Jacket and Saving Private Ryan .
