Scandal in our nation’s capital is nothing new. But me at the center of it? That’s the last thing I expect when I intern on Capitol Hill. It starts when I fall for a man more dangerous than a politician. I set my eyes on Luke, an underground-boxer-turned-entrepreneur who owns the restaurant where I wait tables. With piercing eyes and a jawline that could cut steel, Luke’s the most gorgeous man I’ve ever laid eyes on. He’s also jaded, closed-off, and impossible to read. I never anticipate his split knuckles and compromised allegiances. I never expect the way he makes me feel everything at once, flipping my world upside down. As my life intertwines with his, larger forces work to keep us apart. Against a backdrop of threats and betrayals, secrets and desires, scandal never felt so good. Or so dangerous.
More than mere autobiography, Light Amid Darkness presents an account of an English childhood set in the context of several generations of the Pope, Birkett, and Kelly families--each of which must strive to overcome the challenges, setbacks, and tragedies of their age. It is a tale of human loss and gain, of countless hardships faced and overcome, and of the enduring personal victory of love, hope, faith, and determination. The story commences during the reign of Queen Victoria--at the height of the British Empire--and it concludes during that of her great-granddaughter, the Second Elizabeth--at a time when Britain was coming to terms with the loss of that same empire. The themes of emigration, early life on the Canadian frontier, the promises of young love and the poignancy of love amidst the carnage of the Somme, the joy of marriage and the despair of abandonment, and growing up in wartime England--all are explored in this unique and cogent portrayal of an English childhood.

The ultimate reason for doctors to be ambitious and to gain a management education is not for personal gain or for more letters after their name, but for the prize of better, safer healthcare for patients.' - From the Foreword by Sir Liam Donaldson This book encourages medics preparing for management roles to think about management and business as...

Focusing on a body of lost and forgotten plays by women and situating them in the context of the early women's movement and its major discourses on suffrage, higher education, and social gospel, Kym Bird challenges the male-defined focus of recent historical studies into 19th-century Canadian drama. She argues that in a society that preferred to think of men and women as part of separate but complimentary spheres the woman naturally suited for the private world of the home and motherhood and the man for the public world of work and politics these plays advanced two forms of feminist politics. Liberal or equality feminism demanded the same rights and privileges for women as those accorded men...
