Secrets are exposed when two business rivals discover they have fallen for the same woman. All's fair in love and war...or is it? When past and present collide, Hannah Brinkley is torn in two romantic directions. By the time she realizes she isn't the only thing at the center of the power struggle between two Dominants, accusations of corporate espionage threaten to rip her world apart. The possibility of prosecution is nothing compared to the realization that she's lost the two loves of her life. Grappling with the emotional pain, she has nothing left to lose and sets out to clear both her name and her conscience. Stung by a woman's alleged betrayal, Finley Wetherall and Thaddeus Remington are determined to destroy one another, until they discover Hannah has put herself in grave danger. Now the two Dominants are in a race against time to determine whether they can actually put their own differences aside long enough to save her. If she's rescued, will either man be able to walk away from her again? And, if not, will she be able to choose one over the other?

A brand new soul. His first lifetime. It can't be that difficult, can it? The innocence of the question Jack poses, as he leaves the world he knows so well and dives into the complexity of life, allows us a chuckle. New and naïve, this soul is bombarded by the senses and restrictions of physical existence-yet once death releases him back to familiarity, he begins an intriguing journey of self-discovery. The extraordinary beauty and characteristics of our spiritual nature are brought into focus as we accompany Jack on his journey. Time and again, he takes on his challenges-stumbling, failing, learning-with his steps often mirroring our own. An innate desire propels Jack onward, allowing us insight into the world we know so well and the tantalizing realms that beckon us. And we see that it can be that difficult as we catch a glimpse of Heaven and walk to the edges of Hell.

But because the process of learning itself is imperfectly understood, it is difficult to achieve sustained progress in the quality of education or even to determine which educational innovations actually enhance learning.
A riveting, blow-by-blow account of how the network broadcasts of the 1968 Democratic convention shattered faith in American media. “The whole world is watching!” cried protestors at the 1968 Democratic convention as Chicago police beat them in the streets. When some of that violence was then aired on network television, another kind of hell broke loose. Some viewers were stunned and outraged; others thought the protestors deserved what they got. No one—least of all Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley—was happy with how the networks handled it. In When the News Broke, Heather Hendershot revisits TV coverage of those four chaotic days in 1968—not only the violence in the streets but also...
