Two captive romances in one volume
HIS PRETTY PRISONER
He's my handsome captor. I'm his pretty prisoner. He thinks I'm the person who ruined his life. I say I'm innocent. He should hate me. I should hate him...
Excerpt: A few hours later, I wake up to Kevin saying, "Hello, sleeping beauty." Oh s**t, he's already back? I remember his words: "I'll be back around 5 PM. At that time, I expect to find you waiting for me on the bed without any clothes on." Gulping, I ask, "What time is it?" "Well after 5. And you're neither on the bed nor naked." His voice is calm, but I know he's not going to let my disobedience slide, even if it was unintentional. I shiver. "Are you going to punish me?" He pulls at my camisole. "What do you think?" he asks in a deceptively gentle voice. WORD COUNT: 9,500
HIS EXQUISITE PRISONER
He's my beautiful captor. I'm his exquisite prisoner. He's imprisoning me for my father's crimes. But what if I end up enjoying my imprisonment?
WORD COUNT: 9,600 EXCERPT: "You are the most exquisite thing that I've ever seen," Hayden says. "But you intrigued me in other ways." I laugh humorlessly. "Well, as long as you kidnapped me for non-shallow reasons..." "If your father becomes distressed about your disappearance--" "He won't." Ignoring me, he finishes, "That's just a sweet bonus." "God, you're a psycho." And to think I sort of enjoyed his company last night. He sits on the bed, then puts me on his lap. My body burns as he pulls off the sheets and he stares at my bare body. "Are you going to force yourself on me?" I ask. I wish I was a cool action movie heroine who could fashion a deadly weapon out of something in this room. But I'm only me, a weak, stupid girl who has no hope of fighting him off. "I'm going to have you enjoy yourself," he breathes into my ear.

4 sexy romance stories featuring obsessed heroes who will do anything to have the women they want Includes Her Cookies, Blackmailed by the Jerk, Sparks Fly, and Alpha Male Blast from the Past.
HER COOKIES
He wants more than just my cookies.
The ramblings of dead philosophers put me to sleep. What doesn't put me to sleep? My very alive, very sexy Intro to Philosophy professor. I have a major crush on Professor Newhart, but of course I don't expect it to go anywhere. Because a relationship between a student and a professor? That would be so inappropriate. And I doubt that plain old me would ever catch the eye of the sexy professor. But then he tries my cookies at a bake sale. And soon after, he's determined to also have me for dessert.

BLACKMAILED BY THE JERK
I have a secret.
I kind of faked my perfect SAT score to get a full scholarship at Middleson University. It worked, but now I have one major problem--Rick, a wealthy jerk who looks like Zac Efron and who's blackmailing me with my lie. What does the jerk want in exchange for his silence? My body...
SPARKS FLY
Jing doesn't want summer to end. Ryder, her best friend since forever, is going off to college in the fall. Of course, she's happy for him, but she's also already dreading life without him. However, it turns out that Ryder isn't planning for them to go their separate ways. Instead, he's planning to make Jing his.

ALPHA MALE BLAST FROM THE PAST
My future used to look so promising. I graduated from high school at the top of my class and got into Princeton. But then I flunked out of the Ivy League school. Now I'm prancing around in a skimpy French maid outfit while waiting on sleazy rich guys at Parisian Dream. Ag, more like Parisian Nightmare.
I don't think things could get any worse until I find myself waiting on Gerald Holland, my former best friend. And it turns out he's still a little--okay, very--salty about how I rejected him in high school. But though he acts like he hates me, he also acts like he still wants me... WORD COUNT: 7,300

Описание: Iran has one of the highest rates of road traffic accidents worldwide and according to a recent UNICEF report, the current rate of road accidents in Iran is 20 times more than the world average. Using extensive interviews with a variety of Iranians from a range of backgrounds, this book explores their dangerous driving habits and the explanations for their disregard for traffic laws. It argues that Iranians' driving behaviour is an indicator of how they have historically related to each other and to their society at large, and how they have maintained a form of social order through law, culture and religion. By considering how ordinary Iranians experience the traffic problem in their cities and how they describe traffic rules, laws, authorities and the rights of other citizens, Driving Culture in Iran provides an original and valuable insight into Iranian legal, social and political culture.

Описание: The three-volume project 'Concepts and Methods for the Study of Chinese Religions' presents a history of the study of Chinese religions. It evaluates the current state of scholarship, discusses a variety of analytical approaches and theories about methodology, epistemology, and the ontology of the field. The three books display an interdisciplinary approach and offer debates that transcend national traditions. It engages with a variety of methodologies for the study of East Asian religions and promotes dialogues with Western and Chinese voices. This volume covers successive historical stages in the study of religion in modern China, draws out the genealogy of major figures and intellectual achievements in a variety of research traditions, and highlights as well the challenges and evolutions experienced by the main disciplines in the last 30 years. This volume serves as a reference for graduate students and scholars interested by religions in modern Chinese societies (i.e., mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Chinese communities oversea). Using a wide range of methods, from textual analysis to fieldwork, it presents case studies via the disciplines of religious studies, anthropology, sociology, history, and political science.
Indonesians and Their Arab World explores the ways contemporary Indonesians understand their relationship to the Arab world. Despite being home to the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia exists on the periphery of an Islamic world centered around the Arabian Peninsula. Mirjam Lucking approaches the problem of interpreting the current conservative turn in Indonesian Islam by considering the ways personal relationships, public discourse, and matters of religious self-understanding guide two groups of Indonesians who actually travel to the Arabian Peninsula—labor migrants and Mecca pilgrims—in becoming physically mobile and making their mobility meaningful. This concept, which Lucking calls "guided mobility," reveals that changes in Indonesian Islamic traditions are grounded in domestic social constellations and calls claims of outward Arab influence in Indonesia into question. With three levels of comparison (urban and rural areas, Madura and Central Java, and migrants and pilgrims), this ethnographic case study foregrounds how different regional and socioeconomic contexts determine Indonesians' various engagements with the Arab world.
