The Exception: Jada Stanley is starting over--freeing herself from her past with a set of carefully devised rules to spare her heart. Cane Alexander has his own set of guidelines, a plan to keep his life simple and free of complications. As their lives entwine, they realize one thing - there's an exception to every rule. The Connection (a novella): He was the bad boy she didn't need. She was the exception to his rules. When Jada Stanley and Cane Alexander met, it was lust at first sight.

As they struggle to find their path together, their secrets weigh heavier on them. Will they be able to trust one another with the truth, or will their secrets keep them apart forever?

Book Description
A forbidden love is what they had. No one was supposed to know they were in love; that each night before bed, they each lay with someone else, but they would think of the other; that they tell them good night and I love you for the winds to carry the message to each other. Many messages the winds carried, but this one was always delivered with a swiftness. The wind itself knew that these two people belong together. They deserved to have the other. Each longed to hold the other at night when the stars were shining bright. The moon would whisper sweet lullabies to them as they held each other closely.

Book Description
Sonya Pope is pragmatic, always rational, and has no time for setbacks, so when she arrives at her elopement to find her fiance wants to break up rather than get married, she uses the flight home to reprioritize. But when a woman on the plane has a medical emergency, she puts her mental list-making on hold and jumps to action. Unfortunately, so does the cocky, almost-paramedic two rows back. Ben "Trav" Travis totally got to that patient first, but the cranky nurse with the pretty brown eyes made a big show of taking charge. Sure, he might be one clinical rotation away from actually being a certified paramedic, but he has real-life experience. The kind he wouldn't wish on anyone. When Trav shows up at the hospital two days later to find the same woman is his preceptor, a second battle begins. Trav's got too much riding on this to let a woman with a chip on her shoulder make his life miserable, and Sonya's not about to let a pretty-boy with an adventure complex disrupt the one area of her life that she still has control over. But when a patient they both grow to care about needs their help, their head vs heart battle sparks into something neither one of them trained for. **Contains a bonus epilogue for The Rules**

Pages : 286
Book Description
How the New Deal was a unique historical moment and what this reveals about U.S. politics, economics, and culture Where does the New Deal fit in the big picture of American history? What does it mean for us today? What happened to the economic equality it once engendered? In The Great Exception, Jefferson Cowie provides new answers to these important questions. In the period between the Great Depression and the 1970s, he argues, the United States government achieved a unique level of equality, using its considerable resources on behalf of working Americans in ways that it had not before and has not since. If there is to be a comparable battle for collective economic rights today, Cowie argues, it needs to build on an understanding of the unique political foundation for the New Deal. Anyone who wants to come to terms with the politics of inequality in the United States will need to read The Great Exception.

Between the Norm and the Exception
Author: William E. Scheuerman
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 9780262691963
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Winner, 1996 Elaine and David Spitz Book Prize for the best book onliberal and democratic theory, Conference for the Study of Political Thought. Winner, 1994 First Book Prize, Foundations of Political Thought Organized Section, American Political Science Association. Between the Norm and the Exception contributes historical insight to the ongoing debate over the future of the rule of law in welfare-state capitalist democracies. The core issue is whether or not society can offer its citizens welfare-state guarantees and still preserve the liberal vision of a norm-based legal system. Franz Neumann and Otto Kirchheimer, in an age dominated by Hitler and Stalin, sought to establish a sound theoretical basis for the "rule of law" ideal. As an outcome of their sophisticated understanding of the liberal political tradition, their writings suggest a theoretical missed opportunity, an alternative critical theory that might usefully be applied in understanding (and perhaps countering) the contemporary trend toward the deformalization of law.

Kiernan Kelly and Brooks McCarthy were both born into football royalty. And one fateful meeting will change the course of both their lives. Everyone at Cambria University knows that Brooks, the most popular, handsome and talented guy at the school is destined for the National Football League - alone. His father, Rhett, passed on not only his DNA, work ethic and love for the game, but also a set of rules to keep his son unattainable. Kiernan, on the other hand, tries to hide her famous lineage as she dazzles everyone with her skill on the softball field. As the daughter of Hall of Fame quarterback John Kelly, she inherited his athleticism, but not his lust for the spotlight or the public persona he works so hard to protect. She has a plan for her life that does not include falling in love. Love makes you weak. Weak like her mother. But fate has other plans for the stunning athlete. Will Kiernan finally let someone in? Has Brooks finally met the exception to his rules? Do their families really have their best interests at heart? If their love can survive the first year at Cambria University, then it can survive anything.
