"Bath Water" is a salacious short story that delves into the past of its main character, Nanaya, as she reminisces about a time when she was exceptionally beautiful in her youth.

Men were so enamored with her that they would make extravagant offers, including drinking her bathwater, as a testament to her allure. Nanaya's recollections of this era are marked by a blend of nostalgia and a sense of the absurdity of the attention she received.

In The Raider, Cundill Prize-winning historian Stephen R. Platt gives us the first authoritative account of Carlson’s larger-than-life exploits: the real story, based on years of research including newly discovered diaries and correspondence in English and Chinese, with deep insight into the conflicted idealism about the Chinese Communists that would prove Carlson’s undoing in the McCarthy era. Tracing the rise and fall of an unlikely American war hero, The Raider is a story of exploration, of cultural (mis)understanding, and of one man’s awakening to the sheer breadth of the world.

Hooking up with an annoyingly handsome stranger on vacation isn't the best idea, but I could use a little bit of careless fun before my fresh start. We said no last names, no strings. With law school on the line, it's all I can offer. I just don't expect everything to feel so easy—or so right. Too bad I'll never see him again. Little did I know that hockey star Logan Russo is also attending Westfall U. Now I can't escape him… or his sexy silver eyes. He may not be a player… but he's still off-limits.

Ever since my accident, I've felt like damaged goods. I do my best to hide in plain sight until the one guy I want to notice me… doesn't. Westfall U hockey star Evan Hayworth is way out of my league. If I want him to see me as more than just his tutor, I'll need help igniting the spark. Lucky for me, his hockey teammate comes to my rescue and makes me an offer I can't refuse—I help him with science, and he will educate me in the bedroom. A fake relationship with the most unavailable guy on campus seems like the perfect solution. Noah is caring, loyal, and very good at pretending.

I've had my heart crushed more times than I can count. Swearing off men was the best thing I ever did. The second best—taking a job waitressing at The Firken bar off campus. My grumpy boss is nice to everyone… except me. Which shouldn't bother me, but it does. Darren is handsome, mysterious—and even more unavailable than I am. I've gotten over my ghosts, but he's still chasing his. I thought after years of working in close proximity maybe, just maybe, we would finally cross that line. But almost kisses don't count, not even off the clock.

From 1792 to 1795, George Vancouver sailed the Pacific as the captain of his own expedition and as an agent of imperial ambition.

His voyage was one of history's greatest feats of maritime daring, discovery, and diplomacy, and his marine survey of Hawaii and the Pacific coast was at its time the most comprehensive ever undertaken.
