The Doctor's Baby Bombshell
Gorgeous doctor Ben Nicholls might be the heartthrob of Dalverston General, but he locked up his heart and threw away the key the day he watched Dr. Zo? Frost walk away from him. Two years later, when Zo? makes a fleeting visit back into town, the attraction between them is as irresistible as ever, and they spend one incredible night together.

Sexual Difference, Abjection and Liminal Spaces
This book uses an interdisciplinary approach to explore the ways in which sexual difference can be understood as an encounter with otherness through the abjected, investigating social discourses and unconscious anxieties around "monstrous" women throughout history and how they may challenge these characterizations.

Subjectivity in Psychology in the Era of Social Justice
The notion of social justice permeates much of current Western political and cultural discourse with a newfound urgency. What it means to be socially just is a question Morris et al investigate and interrogate, looking at psychology’s contributions to the subject and considering the practicality of social justice in light of modern subjectivity. The book begins by examining the lack of equity and inclusivity in education and the ways in which psychology has been complicit in the margninalization of oppressed groups. Drawing upon Lacanian theory, it goes on to discuss how diversity initiatives take on an obsessive-neurotic characteristic that can stifle those it claims to understand and promote .The authors investigate the anxiety around the performance of being socially just or "woke" and suggest how psychology can contribute to the development of socially just humans, more attuned to the needs of others, through the appreciation of interconnectivity and compassion. An imperative text for scholars and students of philosophical and theoretical psychology, critical psychology, social psychology, psychoanalysis, social work, and education.
