Summer is young, but her sex appeal, sassiness, and brazen disregard for safety have Nikolai scrambling to protect both her and his battered heart. Protection, Fancy Free 1 It's not every day a girl inherits a condom company, and to say accountant Alice Beasley is astonished and out of her depth is putting it mildly. She needs a quick education in all things condom because her inheritance is in danger. Help comes from the charismatic factory manager, but is she now in even greater peril? Only time will tell... Secret Lovers, Friendship Chronicles 1 Maggie is cautious when her male friend offers to become her lover. But they're both unattached, so why shouldn't they enjoy themselves? She agrees, but soon she's juggling half-truths, friendship, and sensual delights. Her job is in jeopardy, and she’s falling in love. A fun relationship that should've been easy has become VERY complicated... You’ll love this contemporary romance box set because it contains sassy women who know what they want and strong, alpha men who will protect them to the end.

Victoria Royal will do anything to save the little sister she feels responsible for. As the oldest, she’s always been better equipped to deal with what life threw at them when they were orphaned and shuttled into the system.

But nothing is as it seems. When Nick and Victoria are forced to work together, he discovers the innocent woman beneath the tough veneer. Victoria doesn’t intend to fall for the sexy-as-sin Nick. He might be her first lover, but if she has to choose between him and saving her sister, there is no choice. But sometimes the heart knows what it wants and it won’t take no for an answer.

Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Movies have provided a record of the war veteran as he was viewed within his own culture and within the culture in which the movies were produced. Thus, movies account for a significant portion of what people "know" about the war veteran and how he fared during and after the war. In this book, the author examines 125 movies from the classical era to the 20th century that feature the war veteran. The author provides commentary on specific categories the films can be organized into and notes similarities between films produced in different periods. The categories deal with the wounded veteran returning home (e.g., The Sun Also Rises, The Best Years of Our Lives, Born on the Fourth of July, The Manchurian Candidate); the veteran struggling with guilt, revenge and post-traumatic stress disorder (Anatomy of a Murder, Lethal Weapon, Desert Bloom, In Country, Jacob's Ladder); the war veteran returning in disguise (Ulysses, Ivanhoe, The Seventh Seal, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit); the war veteran as a social symbol (Dances with Wolves, Gosford Park, The Legend of Bagger Vance, The Big Chill, Gods and Monsters, Cornered); the war veteran in action (The Born Losers, Conspiracy Theory, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Saint Jack, Looking for Mr. Goodbar); and the war veteran before, during and after the war (The Deer Hunter, Forrest Gump).

You will love this latest addition to the Military Men series because it contains a charming, confident, and audacious soldier known for his singing voice—not!—and a brave and determined heroine with a love of flowers. You’ll also find skullduggery in a country town, danger, and gossip aplenty. Sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy the romantic adventure.
