Breaking Ties
With the Moretti family dissolved and no longer a threat to the Caponelli mafia dynasty, Nick Caponelli has found his place at the top as Don and for the last five years he and his wife Ava have been living a charmed life with their three beautiful children. All that changes when Nick finds a police officer at his door. But it’s not Nick the officer is after, instead it’s the man behind a sex trafficking operation that’s found its way into a local New York port and therefore on Nick’s turf. Ava urges Nick to take on the case in order to save as many women and children as possible, a cause felt deeply by her own past experiences. But as Nick and Ava both get roped in deeper to the inner workings of the evil king pin Barella, things spiral quickly out of control. Soon they don’t even feel safe in their own home. With Ava struggling to digest everything that has been going on and Nick hell bent on finding Barella at any cost, the Caponelli bond is threatening to break, and the only thing that can save them is the unrelenting love Nick and Ava have for each other.

Surrealist Women
Beginning in Paris in the 1920s, women poets, essayists, painters, and artists in other media have actively collaborated in defining and refining surrealism's basic project—achieving a higher, open, and dynamic consciousness, from which no aspect of the real or the imaginary is rejected. Indeed, few artistic or social movements can boast as many women forebears, founders, and participants—perhaps only feminism itself. Yet outside the movement, women's contributions to surrealism have been largely ignored or simply unknown. This anthology, the first of its kind in any language, displays the range and significance of women's contributions to surrealism. Letting surrealist women speak for t...
Foundation
I don’t do relationships. I do calculations—and Nicole Kennedy is a problem I can’t solve. When my family’s engineering firm sends me to investigate a sinkhole at her house, I swear I feel a tremor in the foundation of my world. She’s loud and crass and has no time for nonsense. She also seems to hate everything about me. Which is normally fine, because I hate everyone. But…I can’t stop thinking about her. I see her all the time, between the trench swallowing her yard and the corporate relay race our bosses insisted we both run. Somewhere between all the sprinting and the soil analysis, I find a tiny crack in her armor. Maybe she’ll cut me some slack? Maybe I’ll figure out ...
Formative Fictions
The Bildungsroman, or "novel of formation," has long led a paradoxical life within literary studies, having been construed both as a peculiarly German genre, a marker of that country's cultural difference from Western Europe, and as a universal expression of modernity. In Formative Fictions, Tobias Boes argues that the dual status of the Bildungsroman renders this novelistic form an elegant way to negotiate the diverging critical discourses surrounding national and world literature. Since the late eighteenth century, authors have employed the story of a protagonist's journey into maturity as a powerful tool with which to facilitate the creation of national communities among their readers. Su...
The Victims’ Rights Movement
Outlines the successes and failures of the movement to support survivors of violence The Victims’ Rights Movement (VRM) has been one of the most meaningful criminal justice reforms in the United States. Every state and the federal government has adopted major VRM laws to enact protections for victims and increase criminal sanctions, and the movement has received support from politicians of all backgrounds. Despite recognition of its excesses, the movement remains an important force in the criminal justice arena. The Victims' Rights Movement offers a measured overview of the successes and the failures of the VRM. Among its widely acknowledged accomplishments are expanded resources to help v...
