Against All Advice
Giving advice is easy; taking it, on the other hand… Evie Colville has one goal: earn a college scholarship to escape from small-town Sutterton. Between studying and working in her dad’s coffee shop, she doesn’t have much free time. None for a boyfriend, that’s for sure. Then she meets Alistair. Alistair fled to his uncle’s after the woman he loved brutally betrayed him with his own brother. The last thing he wants is another relationship. And after what he’s gone through, he has zero tolerance for lies. Evie, however, is keeping a big secret, not just from Alistair, but from everyone in town. Along with her other responsibilities, she’s also the clandestine author of the local paper’s Miss Lonely Love advice column. And recently she’s been corresponding with a frustrated young man who has sworn off women for good. Falling for each other is the last thing either wants. There’s no possible way they could make this work. Is there?
The Fine Art of Forgiveness
You don’t always get what you want. Amelia York knows this all too well. Her entire life has been torn apart and she’s lost nearly everything that matters: her job, two of her closest friends, her father, and most devastating of all, the man she loves. Though she’s gotten good at pretending she’s fine, inside she’s still shattered. All she wants is to move on and rebuild. She never thought it would be easy, but she didn’t expect it to be this hard. And an impulsive decision at a friend’s wedding throws a surprise wrench into her life that makes it even harder. Declan Kavanaugh considers himself a damn good salesman, but he's got no pitch capable of convincing himself the choice he made was the right one. He promised to be there for his family, but he's hurting. And he misses her more than he's willing to admit. Can a miracle give him the second chance at happiness he craves? Or is he doomed to always destroy everything he cares about? Things never turn out quite the way you think they will. But sometimes you might just get what you need.
Death Defying
What happens when you discover nothing you’d believed about yourself is true? All Genny Dupont wants for her 21st birthday is to sleep in, eat a great breakfast, and go out dancing with her best friend. At first, it seems like her day goes exactly to plan. She even meets a cute guy at the club. But when they get together for coffee the next afternoon, she realizes she’s made a huge mistake. Because the story JP tells her, that she and her sister are the only remaining descendants of a family of immortal vampire slayers, is completely insane. He’s obviously a lunatic. Disappointed, she walks out, but Genny can’t quite shake the idea he’s planted. Could he possibly have been telling ...
Promises and Other Broken Things
Amelia York seems to have it all: a great career, good friends, and she’s married to her high school sweetheart. Starting a promising new job is just another step in the life she has all figured out. The intense connection she develops with a handsome co-worker, however, threatens to derail all her well thought-out plans. Declan Kavanaugh's whole world revolves around his daughter. Overworked and under-appreciated both by his wife at home and his colleagues at his family's firm, the stress is starting to get to him. Making friends with the pretty new accountant comes as a surprise, but he finds time spent with Amelia is like the breath of fresh air he so desperately needs. Neither of them wants any complications in their lives—and the last thing they want is to fall in love. But as they discover, sometimes no matter how much you fight it, life has other ideas.
More Than Just Blood
Genny Dupont has a lot on her plate. Between working full time, training to be the best vampire slayer she can be, and preparing for her first trip, she hasn’t had much chance to come to terms with the recent attempt on her and her sister Chloe’s lives. She should be planning how to defeat their enemies. She should be helping Chloe manage her trauma. She should also be trying to mend her friendship with her ex-boyfriend JP, especially since he’s accompanying her to France to testify at his uncle’s murder trial. She should be doing a lot of things she isn’t. But the one thing Genny cannot do, the thing she shoves from her mind, although it never stays away long, is admit her feeling...

Engaging the Spirit World
In many parts of the contemporary world, spirit beliefs and practices have taken on a pivotal role in addressing the discontinuities and uncertainties of modern life. The myriad ways in which devotees engage the spirit world show the tremendous creative potential of these practices and their innate adaptability to changing times and circumstances. Through in-depth anthropological case studies from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam, the contributors to this book investigate the role and impact of different social, political, and economic dynamics in the reconfiguration of local spirit worlds in modern Southeast Asia. Their findings contribute to the re-enchantment debate by revealing that the “spirited modernities” that have emerged in the process not only embody a distinct feature of the contemporary moment, but also invite a critical rethinking of the concept of modernity itself.

Exploring Japanese University English Teachers' Professional Identity
This book contributes to the growing field of EFL teacher identity, which is now recognized to influence numerous aspects of classroom teaching and of student learning. It focuses on an under-researched, and yet highly influential group of teachers that shape English language education in Japan: Japanese university English teachers. In three interrelated narrative studies, it examines how four relatively new teachers develop professional identity as they become members of the community of practice of university English teachers; how gender impacts the professional identity of seven female professors ranging in age from their early 30s to their 60s; and how one teacher’s teaching practices and beliefs reflect her personal and professional identity.
