Our story began as an arranged marriage. It started with a lie. To love and to cherish, till death do we part. Those are the words that I whispered to him at the altar. He is a Leone, tall and mighty, heir to the family fortune. I’m a De Rose, the only daughter of a rival family. We both have our reasons for agreeing to that. Neither of us expects it to last. Two sworn enemies, brokering peace. Paying the price with our own lives. Our marriage is heavy with secrets and ripe for betrayal. Yet something warm grows out of that cold place, a fierce love blooming between us… To love and to cherish, till death do we part...
To love, honor, and disobey. I didn’t mean to marry flashy billionaire Luca Leone one drunken night. He may be the hottest guy I know, but he’s still a total jerk. His sly smile, his huge bank account, and his incredible body just don’t make up for how cruel he can be. Once our drunken haze wears off, he has a proposition for me. Stay married for two months, just until his ex’s wedding. And he offers something I really need: ten thousand dollars to save my family home. The only issue is that I’m forced to spend time with him, at his house and at his bar, often late into the night. Soon our feisty arguments turn into the hottest hookups of my life. I can’t resist him. Once I get past his prickly exterior, Luca is just plain smoking hot. We are both hung up on our mutual pasts, not ready for the flame growing between us. But we are about to come face to face with the fire we’ve ignited...

Behavioural change has become a core issue of public policy. Behavioural instruments such as ‘nudging’ apply insights from behavioural economics and behavioural sciences, psychology and neurosciences across a broad range of policy areas. Behavioural insights teams and networks facilitate the global spread of behavioural public policies. Despite an ever-growing amount of literature, research has remained fragmented. This comprehensive Handbook unites interdisciplinary scholarship, with contributions critically assessing the state and direction of behavioural public policies, their normative implications and political consequences.
Margaret King shows what the death of a little boy named Valerio Marcello over five hundred years ago can tell us about his time. This child, scion of a family of power and privilege at Venice's time of greatness, left his father in a state of despair so profound and so public that it occasioned an outpouring of consoling letters, orations, treatises, and poems. In these documents, we find a firsthand account, richly colored by humanist conventions and expectations, of the life of the fifteenth-century boy, the passionate devotion of his father, the feelings of his brothers and sisters, the striking absence of his mother. The father's story is here as well: the career of a Venetian nobleman ...

“Can we achieve the magic of reflecting on the ‘law of the future’ through works of art, and vice versa? The answer is yes – when experience and skill converge with creativity and luck. Compliance and privacy, principles of law and secrets of the legal profession, innovation, and technology blend with the colours on canvasses, the shapes of sculptures, the notes of musical compositions and instruments, and the verses of poems and songs. Following on from The Art of Privacy, this new book by Luca Bolognini explores the rules of the law from a perspective never seen before: the legal landscape morphs into masterpieces by Klimt, Tintoretto, Kandinsky, and so on. Perusing this collection of 53 reflections – written one at a time, each week over the course of a year – gives the reader a feeling of being fortunate: metaphors and associations of ideas are etched onto the page with the same rush of joy as capturing a dream upon waking, before it slips away. A good read, for a beautiful imagination.” Passi di: Luca Bolognini. “Painted Privacy”. Apple Books.
The book masterfully knits together the various curves and routes traveled so far by the Catholic Church in Africa. From an African perspective, the book presents a general trajectory of Catholicism on the continent by highlighting some significant events and moments in the evolution of the Catholic Church in Africa. It equally profiles the Vatican’s policy of indigenization as realized on the continent through the Africanization of the local episcopate. That policy prepared the way for the emergence of the local churches in Africa on the heels of the post-missionary phase that terminated with the convocation of the First African Synod of Bishops in 1994. Beyond the vicissitudes of the rel...
