Book Description
Jordan is off-limits: not only is she my client's sister, she's ten years my junior. But that's not stopping me from making her mine… I've protected more princesses, celebrities, and billionaires than I could shake a bulletproof vest at. I'm ready to move onto less dramatic pastures: becoming the CEO of my own protection company. Until the Fairchilds ask me to personally oversee their little sister Jordan, who they're desperate to reconnect with—and keep safe as she enters into their world. I'd do anything for these guys – so of course I say yes. Besides, I know the two most important rules of this biz: don't mount the ward, and never become emotionally involved. I'm positive this assignment will be the final slam dunk in my close protection resume…until I see her. She's five foot nothing with gray eyes that put me in a chokehold. Barista by day, stripper by night, Pokemon hunter in-between. She can't even blink without making a few guys cream their briefs. I think I know what to expect from a fire-breathing brat like her, who pushes and pulls at every opportunity. But it turns out, she's everything I didn't expect to need. As my assignment turns into co-habitation and so much more, all the rules fly out the window. This love could destroy me, and the mission we're on could ruin both of our lives if it goes sideways. We're fighting for the fate of her brothers…and Jordan is prepared to pay the ultimate price to save her family. Billionaires. Bad boys. Bleeding hearts. These outsiders are known as the Bad Boys of Wall Street and every book in the series features glittering Manhattan skyscrapers, swoon-worthy heroes, and a guaranteed HEA. The Price of Forever is an age-gap, bodyguard/stripper romance, book #5 in the Bad Boys of Wall Street series. This can be read as a stand-alone, but the series is best read in order, since the drama is chronological and cumulative throughout the books. Keywords: billionaire, bad boy, love books, love stories, new adult, romantic novels, sexually romantic books, breakup, wall street, second chance, wealthy, ceo, office, romance novel, sexy book, sexy romance book, steamy romance novel, alpha hero reads, office romance, New York romance, soulmates, soul mates, alpha hero, alphahole, alpha hole, spicy romance, bodyguard romance, billionaire romance, five star romance, hot reads, possessive heroes, dominant heroes, page-turner romance, romantic love story, passionate romance, love books, love stories, stripper, stripper romance, hot bodyguards, age gap romance, ten year age gap

Pages : 153
Book Description
It is a young-adult Christian book for teens and their families; addresses bullying at school and home; topics include bullying related to food allergies, food intolerances, dyslexia, and physical appearances. Here is the back cover synopsis: "It was the worst day of my life. The biggest bully in seventh grade punched me, and everybody at school ignored my existence-I felt invisible. Then I ditched class and was caught by the principal. And when I finally had the courage to tell my parents that my brother also bullies me at home, they said I was exaggerating. Really?I'm Louie Pickle, and my twisted life in middle school has been more gut-wrenching than my friends and I could've ever imagined. We've been teased, picked on, and punched for words we can't read and foods we can't eat-like peanut butter, cheese pizza, and chocolate ice cream-which is why I'm writing this story. The weird thing is that occasionally I make up dorky poems and prayers to deal with stress. But the cool part is how we stand up to Bobblebutt and the group of bullies by drinking braaaain juice, growing rhino skin, and being brave like Commander Courageous. Middle school is about to become the best adventure on the planet!"

Book Description
A beaut story about one very ugly kid. Robert Hoge was born with a tumour in the middle of his face, and legs that weren't much use. There wasn't another baby like him in the whole of Australia, let alone Brisbane. But the rest of his life wasn't so unusual: he had a mum and a dad, brothers and sisters, friends at school and in his street. He had childhood scrapes and days at the beach; fights with his family and trouble with his teachers. He had doctors, too: lots of doctors who, when he was still very young, removed that tumour from his face and operated on his legs, then stitched him back together. He still looked different, though. He still looked ... ugly. UGLY is the true story of how an extraordinary boy grew up to have an ordinary life, and how that became his greatest achievement of all.

Manhood Impossible
Author: Scott Melzer
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 0813584922
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
In Manhood Impossible, Scott Melzer argues that boys’ and men’s bodies and breadwinner status are the two primary sites for their expression of control. Controlling selves and others, and resisting being dominated and controlled is most connected to men’s bodies and work. However, no man can live up to these culturally ascendant ideals of manhood. The strategies men use to manage unmet expectations often prove toxic, not only for men themselves, but also for other men, women, and society. Melzer strategically explores the lives of four groups of adult men struggling with contemporary body and breadwinner ideals. These case studies uncover men’s struggles to achieve and maintain manhood, and redefine what it means to be a man.
