Book Description
The It Girls They're rich, fabulous...and dangerously underestimated. It Girl: Chloe St. John Mission: Bust an organized crime syndicate that's kidnapping women and selling them into the sex trade. And nab Manhattan's most wanted and elusive criminal mastermind.... Royal protocol flew out the window when real-life princess Chloe St. John went undercover to stop a sex slave ring. She'd do anything for the Gotham Rose spies — their leader was like a second mother to Chloe, boosting her self-esteem when all Chloe's real mom did was hassle her about regal etiquette while favoring her ne'er-do-well brother. But evidence suggested Chloe was up against the Roses' archrival, the Duke, this time. It was time to trade in her tiara for a semiautomatic and a Kevlar vest...and pray that the wardrobe change wouldn't hurt her chances at the charity bachelorette auction of the season!

Book Description
Love and Safety are Dangerous Illusions... A life in the shadows and a life in the public eye collide, leading to a forbidden romance and the and the path of a highly motivated hitman. Cassie Witt is a darling of the country music scene. With her extensive crossover success, she enjoys a public life full of privilege and extensive media exposure. She doesn't mind the press, but the mere presence of it has effectively killed her social life. Her private life, however, is much more circumspect, confined to her close cadre of friends, her manager Clint and her assistant Trista. When Clint is killed in front of her after a private concert, she's thrust into a world of grief and grievances from a dangerous cartel. Deputy Marshal Mackenzie Jefferson is a known ladies' man who never gets too close, and a WITSEC Inspector on a night off after a successful prisoner transport to Las Vegas. Visiting friends while in town, he's called out to receive a new witness into the program by his overly-ambitious deputy chief. The simple act of obeying an order sends him and his partner Angela on a desperate quest to keep his charge safe and find the assassin pursuing her. Hidden away in the middle of the desert at his parents' place, the clock is ticking as Mack and Cassie's illicit attraction comes to a boil and the man hunting them is receiving help from an unlikely source. Will the new connection Cassie and Mack forge be enough to keep them both safe, or will they find out the hard way that neither of them are as safe as they seem? Everybody's got secrets, and if they're not careful, the desert will swallow them all.

Book Description
In the context of gun proliferation and persistent gun violence in the United States, a controversial security strategy has gained public attention: bulletproof fashion. This book examines concerns about security focusing on armored clothing and accessories for civilians. Available for children and adults, such ballistic products include colorful backpacks, elegant suits, sports jackets, feminine dresses, trendy vests, and medical lab coats. These products are paradigmatic of a "fashion of fear"—the practice of outfitting the body with apparel aimed at maximizing personal security. This fashion encourages the emergence of both a fortress body and an armored society. Sutton also explores the wider social factors influencing the bulletproof fashion phenomenon, including the inequalities associated with neoliberalism and the militarization of civilian life. The book sheds light on the role of emotions in relation to discourses and perceptions of security, and encourages feminist and sociological studies to pay attention to the linkages between security, bodies, and dress. It is ideal for students and scholars interested in security and gun violence, culture and politics, neoliberalism and consumption, and bodies and emotions.
