A brash American frontiersman ... a prim heiress desperate to avoid scandal ... A fish-out-of-water romance that will keep you laughing until it touches your heart. When he travels to England to carry out his ma’s dying wish, Ned Prentice, American explorer, collector of curiosities, and traveling showman extraordinaire finds himself hailed as the heir to an earldom who was stolen away in his infancy. There’s only one catch. To be recognized as the lost heir, Ned must immediately marry Kate Haddock, the daughter of an upstart magnate whose dowry is needed to preserve the Earldom's mortgaged acres. ​ But Kate has only agreed to a marriage of convenience with the earl's heir to ensure that she will have the freedom to pursue her scientific interests. She has no intention of being bound for life to the all-too-charming backwoodsman she has reason to believe is a clever fraud. ​ ​Pressured by Kate’s father and the earl to go through with the wedding, Kate and Ned form an uneasy alliance intended to to maintain each other’s freedom—until the pet baby beaver Ned has brought to England plays matchmaker and Ned and Kate must discover what is real, what is trickery, and what are the true desires of their hearts. ​ Rated PG-13 No explicit content.

When House Speaker Paul Ryan urged U.S. women to have more children, and Ross Douthat requested "More babies, please," they openly expressed what U.S. policymakers have been discussing for decades with greater discretion. Using technical language like "age structure," "dependency ratio," and "entitlement crisis," establishment think tanks are raising the if U.S. women don't have more children, we'll face an aging workforce, slack consumer demand, and a stagnant economy. Feminists generally believe that a prudish religious bloc is responsible for the fight over reproductive freedom in the U.S., but hidden behind this conventional explanation is a dramatic fight over women's reproductive labor. On one side, elite policymakers want an expanding workforce reared with a minimum of employer spending and a maximum of unpaid women's work. On the other side, women are refusing to produce children at levels desired by economic planners. With little access to childcare, family leave, health care, and with insufficient male participation, U.S. women are conducting a spontaneous birth strike. In other countries, panic over low birth rates has led governments to underwrite childbearing with generous universal programs, but in the U.S., women have not yet realized the potential of our bargaining position. When we do, it will lead to new strategies for winning full access to abortion and birth control, and for improving the difficult working conditions U.S. parents now face when raising children.

Everyone knows the man they call "Lord Lightning" is a cold-hearted rake with an unsavory reputation except Eliza Farrell, an innocent young astrologer fresh from a small country village whose horoscopes tell her he is a man who was born to love. When Eliza's predictions drive away Lord Lightning's mistress, he indulges in one of his famous pranks and abducts her, telling her she must take his mistress's place. It's just a joke. But when Eliza shocks him by taking up his offer, the dissolute lord meets his match in a woman as passionate and unpredictable as himself. Originally published in 2010 and nominated for an RT Book Reviews Reviewers' Choice Award for best hero, this second edition has been edited and improved.

A Mysterious Lord under A Vow of Chastity...A Woman Who Must Seduce Him to Save Her Life Lord Ramsay has waited years to exact his vengeance on the scheming courtesan who sent his sister to the guillotine. Now the courtesan's grown daughter is completely under his control. Her virginity is essential for the ancient rite that will give him the mystical powers he's worked to master since his sister's death. But Ramsay isn't prepared for the vulnerable, courageous woman he finds--a woman with powers of her own. Zoe has only one weapon against the fate that awaits her...seduction. Only that will rid her of the virginity Ramsay so prizes. Yet even as Zoe uses her charms to bewitch her abductor, Ramsay's haunted, Pisces soul weaves a sensual spell around her too. Soon, the two will be bound together by a passion as bright as the stars--and locked in a desperate struggle against an ancient sorcery that can only be vanquished by love. This is the Pisces book in the "Lords of the Seventh House series". It's not linked to the first two stories but stands alone. There's far less overt astrology in this story than in the first two, but you'll find the Pisces archetype pervading it with a fine mix of mysticism, magic, false beliefs, self-sacrifice, deception, and transforming love.

An indispensable guide to abortion access in America, and a necessary argument for building a fighting feminist movement to protect women's rights Anti-abortion justice Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court. A misogynist in the White House. Abortion inaccessible to women in 85% of American counties. The stakes for women's ability to control our own bodies are high. In this spirited book, Jenny Brown describes what the United States looked like without legal abortion -- when feminist collectives organized abortion care -- and what women face trying to get an abortion today. Drawing inspiration and lessons from the women's liberation movement of the 1970s to the successful fight to make the morning-after pill available over the counter, to the recent mass movement to repeal Ireland's abortion ban, Without Apology is an indispensable guide for today's threats to women's autonomy. Brown argues that we need to move beyond the idea that abortion is a personal choice, beyond the idea that it should be "rare," beyond the idea that abortion is about privacy or that it shouldn't be politicized, and instead build a fighting feminist movement that can argue for abortion as women's collective social right -- without apology!
