Fate doesn't always happen overnight.Hudson Bradley is the cockiest, most stubborn, hard-headed man I've ever known. And for fifteen years, he's been my brother's best friend. But lately, what I'm feeling for him isn't friendship at all.Why is my heart racing every time his blue eyes lock on mine?Why does every word he rumbles in my ear make my body come alive?And worst of all, why did I bet him that I could find a woman he and his son would both love? If I hadn't given up on love altogether, Hudson would have been perfect for me. After all, he was there the day my world fell apart. He's spent the last six years piecing me back together. There are a million reasons why we could never work, but after a single kiss, I can't remember any of them. Now that the time is right, I have to make him mine-before I lose him forever.

Equal Time
Author: Aniko Bodroghkozy
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 025209378X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Equal Time: Television and the Civil Rights Movement explores the crucial role of network television in reconfiguring new attitudes in race relations during the civil rights movement. Due to widespread coverage, the civil rights revolution quickly became the United States' first televised major domestic news story. This important medium unmistakably influenced the ongoing movement for African American empowerment, desegregation, and equality. Aniko Bodroghkozy brings to the foreground network news treatment of now-famous civil rights events including the 1965 Selma voting rights campaign, integration riots at the University of Mississippi, and the March on Washington, including Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. She also examines the most high-profile and controversial television series of the era to feature African American actors--East Side/West Side, Julia, and Good Times--to reveal how entertainment programmers sought to represent a rapidly shifting consensus on what "blackness" and "whiteness" meant and how they now fit together.

Valerie Marsh and her three closest friends - Tara, Amber, and Kat - have just started their senior year of high school. Tara's a straight-A student with an Ivy League school in her future, Kat's the lead in every play performed at Riverbank High, and Amber is a popular cheerleader with boys lining up to date her. Valerie, meanwhile, has mediocre grades, works the light booth while Kat's onstage, and has never even gone on a date with a boy. When Tara gets a boyfriend and convinces Valerie to ask her neighbor Lucas out on a double-date, things quickly go awry, leaving Valerie to wonder who exactly she is and where she fits in amongst her friends and peers. Enter Lindsay Walker, an outgoing British bombshell who switches places with Tara's sister Kara as part of an exchange student program offered by their schools. She quickly upstages Tara in front of her family, competes with Kat for the lead role in the winter play, and becomes just as popular as Amber, if not more. But even as tension grows between Lindsay and all of Valerie's friends, Valerie and Lindsay grow closer, and Valerie finds her world turned completely upside down as she struggles to answer questions about herself she'd never been brave enough to ask before.

The Right Time
Author: Danielle Steel
Publisher: Delacorte Press
ISBN: 1101883952
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Filled with heartbreak and betrayal, triumph and fulfillment, The Right Time is an intimate, richly rewarding novel about pursuing one’s passion and succeeding beyond one’s wildest dreams. Abandoned by her mother at age seven, Alexandra Winslow takes solace in the mysteries she reads with her devoted father—and soon she is writing them herself, slowly graduating to dark, complex crime stories that reflect skill, imagination, and talent far beyond her years. After her father’s untimely death, at fourteen Alex is taken in by the nuns of a local convent, where she finds twenty-six mothers to take the place of the one she lost, and the time and encouragement to pursue her gift. Alex writes in every spare moment, gripped by the plots and themes and characters that fill her mind. Midway through college, she has finished a novel—and manages to find a seasoned agent, then a publisher. But as she climbs the ladder of publishing success, she resolutely adheres to her father’s admonition: Men read crime thrillers by men only—and so Alexandra Winslow publishes under the pseudonym Alexander Green, her true identity known only to those closest to her, creating a double life that isolates her. Her secret life as the mysterious and brilliantly successful Alexander Green—and her own life as a talented young woman—expose her to the envious, the arrogant, and Hollywood players who have no idea who she really is. Always, the right time to open up seems just out of reach, and would cost her dearly. Once her double life and fame are established, the price of the truth is always too high.
