Book Description
A feel-good enemies-to-lovers romance set in a cozy English village Stefan Cane can fill out a Speedo, that’s for sure. Not that Lucy’s ever joined him at the beach, but she’s been keeping up with his Insta since they shared that sizzling hot kiss at the Jingle Ball a few months ago. The kiss she ran away from like some kind of Disney princess. Except Lucy’s no princess. And Stefan is certainly no prince. He’s the guy whose sole reason for being in her small English village is to put her pub out of business. As much as she’d like to repeat that kiss, she can’t afford to mix business with pleasure. Losing her focus means she could lose everything and Lucy’s not about to let that happen. Not even for the most lickable abs in England. Keywords: enemies to lovers romance, workplace romance, contemporary romance, romantic comedy, British humor, small town romance, international lovers

She loves her life as a single woman in New York City, indulging in gourmet ice-cream, getting the occasional mud-mask facial, and working for a tacky talk show that specializes in screaming and scrapping among its philandering guests. If only she could tune out her pushy family and their constant match-making attempts. Josh Kaplan has no interest in getting married, either, although maybe he ought to. He’s been with his girlfriend Melanie for years, but for some reason he just hasn’t felt the urge to pop the question. He’s busy fighting for tenants’ rights and playing chess with his elderly friend Solly, who’s got women problems of his own. Melanie is busy, too, although what she’s busy with, Josh isn’t sure. When Loretta’s job suddenly hinges on her being hooked up with a blind date on the show, Josh is the ideal foil. He has no more interest in a romance than she does. He’s got Melanie. And if Loretta pretends he’s her boyfriend, her family will get off her case. What could possibly go wrong?

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
As the only daughter in a Mafia family, I always knew the possibility existed that I’d be part of an arranged marriage, but I never expected to be given to a man I hated by his name alone. Kai Vivenzo was our families greatest rival, a man I’d been taught to despise, and if he expected me to be a passive and dutiful wife, he was in for a huge surprise. All I wanted was freedom from this ruthless life I’d been born into, even if that meant severing all ties with my family. I was stubborn and strong-willed, but what I didn’t anticipate was Kai’s power of seduction. Even when I chose to escape this sham of a marriage and ran off in the middle of the night to start a new life for myself, he chased me and found me, breaking down my resistance and making me his, again and again. The next morning, I woke to a simple note from him: Until the next time I catch you. What ensued was a steamy, delicious game of cat and mouse . . . until the day I was abducted, and not by Kai, but his enemy who planned to use me in his own plan of revenge against my fiancé. I just hoped I was worth more to Kai alive, than dead. Ruthless Rival is the third book in the Ruthless Mafia series. It is a stand-alone enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, mafia romance, complete with an HEA and no cliffhangers.

Competition Policy and Price Fixing
Author: Louis Kaplow
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400846072
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 509
Book Description
Throughout the world, the rule against price fixing is competition law's most important and least controversial prohibition. Yet there is far less consensus than meets the eye on what constitutes price fixing, and prevalent understandings conflict with the teachings of oligopoly theory that supposedly underlie modern competition policy. Competition Policy and Price Fixing provides the needed analytical foundation. It offers a fresh, in-depth exploration of competition law's horizontal agreement requirement, presents a systematic analysis of how best to address the problem of coordinated oligopolistic price elevation, and compares the resulting direct approach to the orthodox prohibition. In doing so, Louis Kaplow elaborates the relevant benefits and costs of potential solutions, investigates how coordinated price elevation is best detected in light of the error costs associated with different types of proof, and examines appropriate sanctions. Existing literature devotes remarkably little attention to these key subjects and instead concerns itself with limiting penalties to certain sorts of interfirm communications. Challenging conventional wisdom, Kaplow shows how this circumscribed view is less well grounded in the statutes, principles, and precedents of competition law than is a more direct, functional proscription. More important, by comparison to the communications-based prohibition, he explains how the direct approach targets situations that involve both greater social harm and less risk of chilling desirable behavior--and is also easier to apply.

Sophie wants one thing for Christmas—a little freedom from her overprotective parents. So when they decide to spend Christmas in South Louisiana with her very pregnant older sister, Sophie is looking forward to some much needed private (read: make-out) time with her long-term boyfriend, Griffin. Except it turns out that Griffin wants a little freedom from their relationship. Cue devastation. Heartbroken, Sophie flees to her grandparents' house, where the rest of her boisterous extended family is gathered for the holiday. That's when her nonna devises a (not so) brilliant plan: Over the next ten days, Sophie will be set up on ten different blind dates by different family members. Like her sweet cousin Sara, who sets her up with a hot guy at an exclusive underground party. Or her crazy aunt Patrice, who signs Sophie up for a lead role in a living nativity. With a boy who barely reaches her shoulder. And a screaming baby. When Griffin turns up unexpectedly and begs for a second chance, Sophie feels more confused than ever. Because maybe, just maybe, she's started to have feelings for someone else . . . Someone who is definitely not available. This is going to be the worst Christmas break ever . . . or is it?

Love, Chocolate, and Beer (A small town enemies to lovers rival neighbors romance)
Author: Violet Duke
Publisher: Violet Duke
ISBN: 1941198996
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
-- A USA TODAY best-seller -- Brewmaster and town sweetheart Dani Dobson is officially declaring war against her hot, maddening new menace of a neighbor--and his shop. How the man manages to provoke her so much is beyond her. But he does, and really, she's just picking up the gauntlet he tosses her way. The terms of their little throwdown? Her business versus his in the arena of romance. And the stakes? Very likely, her heart. Chocolatier and town newcomer Luke Bradford loves his shop's new home. Partly because he couldn't ask for a better fresh start for both his professional and personal life, and partly (okay, mostly) because he gets to lock horns with the feisty beer-brewing beauty next door, and effectively push all her buttons on a fairly regular basis. To be fair, in his defense-- Just kidding. He has no defense. As far as the meddling matchmakers in this quirky little town are concerned, this is going to be their most unlikely (and interesting) pairing yet... "Violet Duke always writes such compelling, delightful characters who manage to pull you in and make you feel a part of their lives." -- #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy ♥ AUTHOR NOTE ♥ Be forewarned, this slow-burn romcom is definitely sweeter (and longer) than my other books (but there is still some on-page steam, as well as a few curse words--no f-bombs though, per usual). A book about a brewmaster and chocolatier battling over Valentine's Day supremacy? Yep, it was a given I was going to go all-out on the feel-good romance for this one. :) So if you're in the mood for a light and fun love story (with some of my token laugh-and-cry Violet Duke-ness, of course) between two stubbornly romantic characters who work hard for their happily ever after, this is the book for you! xoxo ♥ V THE CACTUS CREEK SERIES Love, Chocolate, and Beer [Luke & Dani] Love, Diamonds, and Spades [Rylan & Quinn] Love, Tussles, and Takedowns [Hudson & Lia] Love, Exes, and Ohs [Isaac & Xoey] All the Cactus Creek books are standalone novels with feel-good HEAs. :) Enjoy!
