With her senior project incomplete and the weight of the Hall's judgment upon her, Claire must clear her name after being blamed for the death of a promising young student. As rumors swirl and evidence mounts against her, Claire uncovers dangerous secrets buried within the heart of Metallum Nocturne Hall. To finish her project and restore her reputation, she must navigate a web of betrayal, rivalries, and the volatile power of ancient metals. But time is running out, and the truth may be more dangerous than she ever imagined. Can Claire forge a legacy worthy of her Hall, or will the fires of suspicion consume her future?

Book Description
My hot one-night-stand just became my professor… I don't do relationships, but when a gorgeous bartender presses her chest in my face on New Year's Eve, I take it as a sign that maybe I should bend my rules. I’ve been under so much pressure lately, between my agent and my soccer prospects and my abusive biological father trying to extort money I don’t even have. What better way to distract myself from the pressures of going pro than to get under a woman whose curves could make a Venus statue jealous? Fern is everything a man could ask for: unbearably sexy, brilliantly witty, and oh-so-responsive in bed. That unforgettable night was the best bad decision I've ever made. That is until she shows up as the TA in my math class. Suddenly, our forbidden connection could jeopardize both of our futures. When I am exposed for my secret relationship with Fern and threaten her academic career, I'll do anything to protect her—even if it means giving up everything I've worked for. To have a shot at happily ever after with the woman I love, I have to confront my painful past head-on and fight like hell to forge my own path. Can I break free from the shadows that haunt me and build a new life with Fern by my side? One thing's for sure - I've never wanted anything more.

Forging American Communism
Author: Edward P. Johanningsmeier
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400863678
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
A major figure in the history of twentieth-century American radicalism, William Z. Foster (1881-1961) fought his way out of the slums of turn-of-the-century Philadelphia to become a professional revolutionary as well as a notorious and feared labor agitator. Drawing on private family papers, FBI files, and recently opened Russian archives, this first full-scale biography traces Foster's early life as a world traveler, railroad worker, seaman, hobo, union activist, and radical journalist, and also probes the origins and implications of his ill-fated career as a top-echelon Communist official and three-time presidential candidate. Even though Foster's long and eventful life ended in Moscow, where he was given a state funeral in Red Square, he was, as portrayed here, a thoroughly American radical. The book not only reveals the circumstances of Foster's poverty-stricken childhood in Philadelphia, but also vividly describes his work and travels in the American West. Also included are fascinating accounts of his early political career as a Socialist, "Wobbly," and anarcho-syndicalist, and of his activities as the architect of giant organizing campaigns by the American Federation of Labor, involving hundreds of thousands of workers in the meatpacking and steel industries. The author views Foster's influence in the American Communist movement from the perspective of the history of American labor and unionism, but he also offers a realistic assessment of Foster's career in light of factional intrigues at the highest levels of the Communist International. Originally published in 1994. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

1619
Author: James Horn
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 1541698800
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
The essential history of the extraordinary year in which American democracy and American slavery emerged hand in hand in colonial Virginia. Along the banks of the James River, Virginia, during an oppressively hot spell in the middle of summer 1619, two events occurred within a few weeks of each other that would profoundly shape the course of history. In the newly built church at Jamestown, the General Assembly -- the first gathering of a representative governing body in America -- came together. A few weeks later, a battered privateer entered the Chesapeake Bay carrying the first African slaves to land on mainland English America. In 1619, historian James Horn sheds new light on the year that gave birth to the great paradox of our nation: slavery in the midst of freedom. This portentous year marked both the origin of the most important political development in American history, the rise of democracy, and the emergence of what would in time become one of the nation's greatest challenges: the corrosive legacy of racial inequality that has afflicted America since its beginning.

Book Description
When the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence and created a new nation - the United States of America - few colonists-turned-citizens could foresee the great struggles that lay before it in the centuries to come. Forging a Nation explores those struggles--the history of the US--as told through art, artifacts, and archival materials that illuminate some three hundred years of a shared cultural experience.
