Book Description
I came here to be a companion. I never meant to be a rebel—or to fall in love with one. Calix Callisto would never have been my first choice for a mate. Despite his looks, he’s young, impetuous, and a little bit superficial. We should never have gotten along. A gymnast back on Earth, I’m everything he’s not—intensely disciplined, coolheaded, and a problem-solver. As it turns out, though, we balanced each other out. We even became…friends. Friends with benefits, no less. And then Ixion devolved into rebellion, and we had to make a run for it. Now I’m no longer bound to him by any program—just the need to help each other survive. And we’re good at that. We’re good at everything together. I want to keep it that way, too—which means no falling in love. Nothing that could eventually break apart our friendship when we realize that this won’t work permanently—and was never meant to, in the first place. There’s danger coming at us from all sides, and we don’t need distractions. Not when Calix is a whole distraction himself. And me? I never wanted to fall in love anyway. Not on Earth, and not on Ixion. Not anywhere. Until we’re separated, and I learn a terrible truth— Sometimes you don’t know what you want until you’ve lost it. Maybe forever. Enchanted by the Alien Rebel is a full-length standalone sci-fi romance featuring a gorgeous alien rebel and the tough-as-nails human companion who find love in the most unlikely of places. If you like sexy aliens, galactic adventures, and a happily ever after for our hero and heroine, you’ll love this new series! Each book in the Ixionian Fated Mates series can be read as a standalone, but it’s recommended that they be read in order for the greatest enjoyment. Book 1: Chosen by the Alien Warrior (Ivy and Cassian) Book 2: Tempted. by the Alien Commander (Cherise and Azrael) Book 3: Enchanted by the Alien Rebel (Trace and Calix) Book 4: Charmed by the Alien Playboy (Deryn and Ambrose)

Book Description
Participating in the Ixionian exchange program was only ever supposed to be about my body. It was never supposed to be about my heart. Commander Azrael Emrys is everything I’ve never wanted in a man—or alien. He’s dutiful to a fault, arrogant beyond belief, and focused on only one thing—commanding and caring for the soldiers under his command. But some things are out of even his control. When an AI malfunction lands us on another planet, I see a new side to Commander Emrys. One that makes me feel desires I didn’t know I had—and longings I’d long since given up on. But the nascent rebellion is here too, and the Commander has wounds that I might not be able to heal. I came here to be a companion. But the Commander tempts me to so much more. Tempted by the Alien Commander is a full-length standalone sci-fi romance featuring a handsome, horned alien commander and the beautiful companion who tempts him to desires he gave up on long ago. If you like sexy aliens, galactic adventures, and a happily ever after for our hero and heroine, you’ll love this new series!

Rebel populism
Author: Philip Proudfoot
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526158094
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
Workers from the Syrian diaspora have maintained a presence in Lebanon for decades, building multimillion-dollar apartment complexes, toiling for backbreaking hours in grocery stores. From the mid-2000s, liberalising reforms saw accelerating levels of poverty among workers, often paid as low as $20 per day. Instead of ‘opportunity’, workers faced the prospect of indefinite economic exile, the unending drudgery of hard labour, and a constant struggle to make ends meet. But in 2011, revolution came to Syria. Rural towns and villages exploded in revolt, but even those workers who remained in Beirut found means to protest at a distance. Their movement, which this book identifies as ‘rebel populism,’ represents an early instance of an increasingly common global contentious political formation, a form of mass politics that emerges not via a charismatic orator or developed ideological convictions, but through the weaving together of grievances aimed at the ruling class.

Book Description
“A totally captivating, hilarious, and clever look on the magical kingdom of Manhattan, where kissing frogs has never been this fun.”—Melissa de la Cruz, author of The Au Pairs Katie Chandler had always heard that New York is a weird and wonderful place, but this small-town Texas gal had no idea how weird until she moved there. Everywhere she goes, she sees something worth gawking at and Katie is afraid she’s a little too normal to make a splash in the big city. Working for an ogre of a boss doesn’t help. Then, seemingly out of the blue, Katie gets a job offer from Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., a company that tricks of the trade to the magic community. For MSI, Katie’s ordinariness is an asset. Lacking any bit of magic, she can easily spot a fake spell, catch hidden clauses in competitor’s contracts, and detect magically disguised intruders. Suddenly, average Katie is very special indeed. She quickly learns that office politics are even more complicated when your new boss is a real ogre, and you have a crush on the sexy, shy, ultra powerful head of the R&D department, who is so busy fighting an evil competitor threatening to sell black magic on the street that he seems barely to notice Katie. Now it’s up to Katie to pull off the impossible: save the world and–hopefully–live happily ever after.
