Book Description
Some f-ckboys just can’t leave well enough alone... Amaya Adler is a bona fide boss chick, and after being hurt in her last relationship, she is completely focused on being the best mother that she can be to her son, expanding her skills, and taking her fashion design business to the next level. Even though she is determined to do her, when she meets Lucas, she is drawn into his confidence and hyper-masculinity. Being an only child, Maya has grown up getting her way and has developed a fierce stubbornness, which most people can’t handle, but Lucas, a force of nature in his own right, is turning all of that on its head. Lucas, a successful businessman and dope boy, decided to go out on whim and let his friend fix him up. Not expecting to fall in love with Amaya, he is caught off guard when he does and sets on a course to break through her strong-willed attitude and show her what a real man can do to and for his woman. Lucas is finally able to burst through Amaya’s emotional wall, and they think they’re on the road to happily ever after. With everything smooth sailing, their lives are turned upside down on one fateful night that makes Lucas revert to his past and Amaya turn tail and run. The douchebag who broke Amaya’s heart has decided that he wants Amaya back. When he finds out that Lucas is the person she has moved on with, he has one goal in mind, and that’s to destroy her reputation so that Lucas—or any other man, for that matter—will no longer want her. Is Lucas that one person who can truly change Amaya and help her to heal and trust again, or will giving him a chance end up being the worst mistake of her life?

Good Girl Messages
Author: Deborah O'Keefe
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1474286828
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
For much of the 20th century, books for children encouraged girls to be weak, submissive, and fearful. This book discusses such traits, both blatantly and subtly reinforced, in many of the most popular works of the period. Quoting a wide variety of passages, O'Keefe illustrates the typical behaviour of fictional girls – many of whom were passive and immobile while others were actually invalids. They all engaged in approved girlish activities: deferred to elders, observed the priorities, and, in the end, accepted conventional suitors. Even feisty tomboys, like Jo in Little Women, eventually gave up on their dreams and their independence. The discussion is interlaced with moments from the author's own childhood that suggest how her developing self-interacted with these stories. She and her contemporaries, trying to reconcile their conservative reading with the changing world around them, learned ambivalence rather than confidence. Good Girl Messages also includes a discussion of books read by boys, who were depicted as purposeful, daring, and dominating.

Pages : 384
Book Description
Finalist for the 2020 Edgar Award for Best Novel From the internationally bestselling author who Stephen King calls “an absolute master,” a fiendishly clever thriller about a dangerous young woman with the ability to know when someone is lying—and the criminal psychologist who must outwit her to survive. A girl is discovered hiding in a secret room in the aftermath of a terrible crime. Half-starved and filthy, she won’t tell anyone her name, or her age, or where she came from. Maybe she is twelve, maybe fifteen. She doesn’t appear in any missing persons file, and her DNA can’t be matched to an identity. Six years later, still unidentified, she is living in a secure children’s home with a new name, Evie Cormac. When she initiates a court case demanding the right to be released as an adult, forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven must determine if Evie is ready to go free. But she is unlike anyone he’s ever met—fascinating and dangerous in equal measure. Evie knows when someone is lying, and no one around her is telling the truth. Meanwhile, Cyrus is called in to investigate the shocking murder of a high school figure-skating champion, Jodie Sheehan, who died on a lonely footpath close to her home. Pretty and popular, Jodie is portrayed by everyone as the ultimate girl-next-door, but as Cyrus peels back the layers, a secret life emerges—one that Evie Cormac, the girl with no past, knows something about. A man haunted by his own tragic history, Cyrus is caught between the two cases—one girl who needs saving and another who needs justice. What price will he pay for the truth? Emotionally explosive, swiftly paced, and “haunting…Robotham expertly raises the tension as the action hurtles toward the devastating climax” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
