Book Description
I can't stand him ... and I can't keep my hands to myself ...If my father finds out I'm an undercover cop I'm a dead man ... and if he finds out I'm gay it won't be much better. But I'm determined to take him and his corrupt MC down, even if it means working with Coop to do it. He can't stand me-or any cop-and the feeling should be mutual. Instead he makes me wish for things I can't have.I've been undercover for so long that I'm beginning to forget who the real me is. It doesn't matter if being around Coop helps me remember. He might hate cops, but he's the only one who can see past the mask I wear to survive.I can't afford to have a heart, and it doesn't matter if I lose my soul. I need to take down my father's club and end his evil for good. Coop can't be mine when I have nothing to give, and if anyone finds out about us we're both dead. So why can't I let him go?

Custom and Commercialisation in English Rural Society
Author: J. Bowen
Publisher: Univ of Hertfordshire Press
ISBN: 1909291633
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
English rural society underwent fundamental changes between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries with urbanization, commercialization and industrialization producing new challenges and opportunities for inhabitants of rural communities. However, our understanding of this period has been shaped by the compartmentalization of history into medieval and early-modern specialisms and by the debates surrounding the transition from feudalism to capitalism and landlord-tenant relations. Inspired by the classic works of Tawney and Postan, this collection of essays examines their relevance to historians today, distinguishing between their contrasting approaches to the pre-industrial economy and exploring the development of agriculture and rural industry; changes in land and property rights; and competition over resources in the English countryside.

Literature, Religion, and the Evolution of Culture, 1660–1780
Author: Howard D. Weinbrot
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421405164
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
A distinguished critic traces the growing, but always threatened, trend toward political and religious tolerance from the mid-seventeenth to the late eighteenth century in Britain. Winner of the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title of the Choice ACRL Literature, Religion, and the Evolution of Culture, 1660–1780 chronicles changes in contentious politics and religion and their varied representations in British letters from the mid-seventeenth to the late eighteenth century. An uncertain trend toward tolerance and away from painful discord significantly influenced authors who reflected on and enhanced germane aspects of British literary and intellectual life. The movement was stymied during the painful Gordon Riots in June 1780, from which Britain needed to repair itself. Howard D. Weinbrot's broad-ranging interdisciplinary study considers sermons, satire, political and religious polemic, Anglo-French relations, biblical and theological commentary, Methodism, legal history, and the novel. Literature, Religion, and the Evolution of Culture, 1660–1780 analyzes the texts and contexts of several major and minor authors, including Daniel Defoe, Charles Dickens, Olaudah Equiano, Maria De Fleury, Lord George Gordon, Nathaniel Lancaster, Henry Sacheverell, Tobias Smollett, and Edward Synge.
