The Triplet Scandal
I thought it would be so simple, Marry the boss I hate, and watch my money problems melt away, But now I’ve got one big billionaire problem, And three tiny triplets on the way! HER: I made a deal with the devil. Half a million to fake-marry my jerk of a boss? Sure, what’s the worst that could happen? I only realized my mistake when he walked into my life, Leon Knight, the gorgeous billionaire who happens to be my fiancé’s biggest rival. For one night only, I followed my heart… And make the biggest mistake of my life. Six weeks later and the wedding’s going ahead, And I’m pregnant with three of his sworn enemy’s babies! HIM: This is no fairy tale, but she looks like a princess to me, A damsel in distress, betrothed to a beast. What’s a gorgeous, smart woman like Grace doing with a guy like Sebastian? She doesn’t strike me as the gold-digger type, And she certainly doesn’t look at him the way she’s looking at me… I’m thinking it’s time we both got one over on him, And I think I just worked out how…
The World of After
In a graduate student residence at Oxford University in the early 1990s, Kevin, an Irish Montrealer, meets Leon, a London Jew from a Communist family, and Alex, a Soviet defector’s son brought up in Toronto. When Alex begins to tutor a charming yet troubled upper-class English undergraduate, the dynamics in their conflicted three-way friendship culminate in Kevin and Leon playing a prank on Alex. The act’s disastrous outcome binds the three young men together emotionally even as it dispatches them on separate courses through the 1990s. Ranging from a precisely and ironically evoked Oxford, which parodies that of Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited, to post-Referendum Montreal, war-ravaged former Yugoslavia, London, Moscow, Poland and Berlin, The World of After depicts the 1990s as an interlude of freedom and confused but enriching self-discovery between the rigidity of the Cold War and the stark divisions of the post-September 11, 2001 world. Kevin struggles to find love, recover a friendship he has betrayed and chart a world he no longer understands as Leon dodges his past and Alex descends into a criminal culture that leads to a confrontation with his own values.
Chronicles of a Radical Criminologist
Over the past five decades, prominent criminologist Gregg Barak has worked as an author, editor, and book review editor; his large body of work has been grounded in traditional academic prose. His new book, Chronicles of a Radical Criminologist, while remaining scholarly in its intent, departs from the typical academic format. The book is a a first-person account that examines the linkages between one scholar's experiences as a criminologist from the late 1960s to the present and the emergence and evolution of radical criminology as a challenge to developments in mainstream criminology. Barak draws upon his own experiences over this half-century as a window into the various debates and issue...

The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison
For 40 years, this classic text has taken the issue of economic inequality seriously and asked: Why are our prisons filled with the poor? Why aren’t the tools of the criminal justice system being used to protect Americans from predatory business practices and to punish well-off people who cause widespread harm? This new edition continues to engage readers in important exercises of critical thinking: Why has the U.S. relied so heavily on tough crime policies despite evidence of their limited effectiveness, and how much of the decline in crime rates can be attributed to them? Why does the U.S. have such a high crime rate compared to other developed nations, and what could we do about it? Are...
