How do you win a soccer game when you're not just playing against the other team, but your captain too?
When Hunter Hercules, the biggest soccer star in the Northlands, is transferred to play in the Motherlands, he's mad as hell. Not only is their style of soccer different, but they have mixed teams and his female captain, Emanuela, calls him unsophisticated and claims that she's a better player than him. What a fucking joke!
The whole thing is ridiculous and infuriating to Hunter. That's why when the soccer club sends all the players on a team-building trip, Hunter shows up determined to put the little woman in her place. It should have been easy, but Emanuela isn't a normal sweet Motlander he can push around. She's competitive to the bone, and when Hunter plays dirty she's fast to adapt and hit him back tenfold.
Someone should have warned her not to mess with an Nman.
The Athlete is book #8 in Elin Peer's highly praised series Men of the North. Readers call these books "unputdownable" because of the sharp dialogue, fast pace, and depths of the characters.
If you like strong women, alpha males, and a roller-coaster ride of emotions, then this romantic sci-fi is a safe pick for you.

The former special assistant for legislative affairs to President Clinton,president of the American Constitution Society, and author of the "damn fine"( Elle ) Under the Bus shows how the left can undo the right 's damage andtake the country back
Despite representing the beliefs of a minority of the American public on manyissues, conservatives are in power not just in Washington, DC, but also instate capitals and courtrooms across the country. They got there because,while progressives fought to death over the nuances of policy and to bringattention to specific issues, conservatives focused on simply gaining power bygaming our democracy. They understood that policy follows power, not the otherway around.
Now, in a sensational new book, Caroline Fredrickson--who has had a front-rowseat on the political drama in DC for decades while working to shapeprogressive policies as special assistant for legislative affairs to PresidentClinton, chief of staff to Senator Maria Cantwell, deputy chief of staff toSenator Tom Daschle, and president of the American Constitution Society--argues that it's time for progressives to focus on winning. She shows us howwe can learn from the right by having the determination to focus on judicialelections, state power, and voter laws without stooping to their dishonest,rule-breaking tactics. We must be ruthless in thinking through how work tochange the rules of the game to regain power, expand the franchise, end votersuppression, win judicial elections, and fight for transparency and fairnessin our political system, and Fredrickson shows us how.

<B>Experience the exciting and suspenseful tale of the man who almost took out one of the greatest villains in history-and lived to never tell the tale.</B><BR /> <BR /> On November 8, 1939, a nondescript German clockmaker named Georg Elser placed a bomb in a Munich beer hall where Hitler was scheduled to give a speech. His simple intent: to stop the impending onset of World War II.<BR /> <BR /> The bomb's explosion missed the Führer by only minutes, still killing more than 150 members of the Nazi Old Guard. After the attack, Elser was caught by happenstance at the porous Swiss border. When his family was threatened, he immediately confessed. There was only one problem: the Gestapo couldn't accept his confession as a lone assassin.<BR /> <BR /> Elser fit none of the assassin profiles drawn up by the security officer. To them, it was inconceivable that a lone attempt could have been perpetrated by one of Hitler's faithful and adoring citizens. A British conspiracy? Sure. But...

A history of a quintessentially American place--the rural and small townheartland--that uncovers deep yet hidden currents of connection with theworld.
When Kristin L. Hoganson arrived in Champaign, Illinois, after teaching atHarvard, studying at Yale, and living in the D.C. metro area with variousstints overseas, she expected to find her new home, well, isolated. Evenprovincial. After all, she had landed in the American heartland, a place wherethe nation's identity exists in its pristine form. Or so we have been taughtto believe. Struck by the gap between reputation and reality, she determinedto get to the bottom of history and myth. The deeper she dug into the makingof the modern heartland, the wider her story became as she realized that she'duncovered an unheralded crossroads of people, commerce, and ideas. But thereally interesting thing, Hoganson found, was that over the course of Americanhistory, even as the region's connections with the rest of the planet becameincreasingly dense and intricate, the idea of the rural Midwest as a steadfastheartland became a stronger and more stubbornly immovable myth. In enshrininga symbolic heart, the American people have repressed the kinds of stories thatHoganson tells, of sweeping breadth and depth and soul.
In The Heartland , Kristin L. Hoganson drills deep into the center of thecountry, only to find a global story in the resulting core sample. Deftlynavigating the disconnect between history and myth, she tracks both thebackstory of this region and the evolution of the idea of an unalloyed heartat the center of the land. A provocative and highly original work ofhistorical scholarship, The Heartland speaks volumes about pressingpreoccupations, among them identity and community, immigration and trade, andsecurity and global power. And food. To read it is to be inoculated againstusing the word "heartland" unironically ever again.

[b]The French Girl captivated readers with a twisting tale of psychological suspense. Now author Lexie Elliott heads to the foothills of the Scottish Highlands, where a woman's tangled family history comes back to haunt her...[/b]
An eerie, old Scottish manor in the middle of nowhere that's now hers.
Ailsa Calder has inherited half of a house. The other half belongs to a man who disappeared without a trace twenty-seven years ago-her father.
Leaving London behind to settle the inheritance from her mother's estate, Ailsa returns to her childhood home, nestled amongst the craggy peaks of the Scottish Highlands, joined by the half-sister who's almost a stranger to her.
Ailsa can't escape the claustrophobic feeling that the house itself is watching her- as if her past hungers to consume her. She also can't ignore how the neighborhood animals refuse to set one foot within the gates of the garden.
When the first nighttime intruder shows...

"A wonderful, wild ride" --Michael Koryta,New York Times Bestselling author of How It Happened and If She Wakes
When what appears to be the original Pandora's Box is discovered in an ancient city, neighboring countries fight for ownership and unleash a terrible plague. __
__
The Pandora Room is New York Timesbestselling author Christopher Golden 's chilling exploration of what happens when the original Pandora's Box is discovered in an ancient subterranean city, stirring international conflict and exposing the archaeological team to curses, whispers, and the terror of a legendary plague.
In one ancient variation on the myth of Pandora's Box, there were two jars, one for Pandora and one for her sister, Anesidora. One contained all the blessings of the gods, the other all the world's curses. Now, in a subterranean city in Northern Iraq, archaeologist Sophie Durand has discovered a secret chamber covered in writing that confirms that version of the tale--a chamber which contains a single jar. "Weird shit" expert Ben Walker joins Sophie's team just as the mystery deepens and grows ugly. Those who believe the myth want to know which jar has been found in the Pandora Room, the one containing blessings, or the one full of curses. Governments rush to lay claim, but jihadi forces aren't waiting for the dust to settle. Whatever the jar contains, they want it, no matter who they have to kill.or what will emerge when they open it. For Sophie, Walker, and the others, the Pandora Room may soon become their tomb.

Three-time Navy SEAL platoon commander and founder of Perfect Fitness reveals how to put together teams that can accomplish any objective-by leveraging an unexpected set of values and priorities.
SEALs and civilians operate in extremely different environments, but what makes both kinds of teams excel comes down to the same thing: service to others, trust, empathy, and a caring environment. Alden Mills has experience working in both the military and the private sector, as a SEAL platoon commander and as a startup founder of Perfect Fitness. He's seen firsthand what it takes to lead an unstoppable team of individuals.
Teams are nothing more than a series of interconnected relationships with a collective, single-minded focus. Success almost never depends on individual talent and valor; instead, Alden Mills shows, it depends, first, on creating a strong foundation for yourself and, second, using that foundation to help others go beyond their individual pursuits...

The critically lauded author of The Beast Side and The Cook Up returnswith an [b]*existential look at life in* low-income black communities,while also offering a new framework[/b] for how we can improve theconversations occuring about them.
While author D. Watkins is pleased about the number of books exploring issuesof race that are being published, there's one crucial aspect of contemporaryblack life that doesn't get enough attention: the hood. The Baltimore nativeknows firsthand what it means to live in poverty, where violence and drugs areinescapable. As he sees it, the perspective of people who live in poor blackcommunities is largely absent from the work of many of the top intellectualswho speak and write about race.
Now, D. Watkins is here to tell his truth . Built upon Watkins's ownexperiences, We Speak for Ourselves eases us into the bigger conversationabout race and the various issues affecting poor black neighborhoods inAmerica. Unapologetic and eye-opening, We Speak for Ourselves identifies andaddresses a range of issues affecting these low-income communities--such asthe trouble with misrepresentation and why we need more than one black voice--and sheds light on the harsh realities of daily life. Additionally, Watkinsexamines various crucial activist movements, including the Civil RightsMovement, and asks what it means to be a model activist in today's world.
Through the personal retelling of his journey, Watkins aims to illuminate thelessons he's learned navigating through two very distinct worlds--the hood andthe elite sanctums of the prominent black thinkers and public figures--inhopes of providing actionable solutions.
