He took me captive. Now I own his black heart. I never meant to catch his eye. But once Damian Cross—the most feared man at Ashford University—claimed me, there was no escape. He's a storm in human form—tattoos, cold blue eyes, and a voice that makes promises no sane girl should ever want to hear. As heir to The Four Hundred, the secret society that rules from the shadows, he’s been raised to take whatever he desires—and he desires me.

A wizard without a wand. A smuggler of secrets. A man out of time. Eric Hawthorne Wood isn’t the kind of wizard you’d find in a fantasy novel—no robes, no spells, no dramatic theatrics. He’s more like an aging James Bond with a touch of the arcane. His job? Escort priceless, powerful, and sometimes perilous objects through the shadows of the modern world, where magic isn’t a myth—it’s a well-guarded secret. Operating under the radar of everyday society, Wood serves a clandestine community of long-lived, hidden-in-plain-sight Western wizards who call themselves “the College.

More of Mason Currey's irresistible Daily Rituals, this time exploring the daily obstacles and rituals of women who are artists - painters, composers, sculptors, scientists, filmmakers, and performers. We see how these brilliant minds get to work, the choices they have to make: rebuffing convention, stealing (or secreting away) time from the pull of husbands, wives, children, and obligations in order to create their creations.

Kafka is one of 161 inspired-and inspiring-minds, among them, novelists, poets, playwrights, painters, philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians, who describe how they subtly maneuver the many (self-inflicted) obstacles and (self-imposed) daily rituals to get done the work they love to do, whether by waking early or staying up late; whether by self-medicating with doughnuts or bathing, drinking vast quantities of coffee, or taking long daily walks.

The bionic bots that roamed the danger zones cowered before my biomancy, yet the real threat was a little more human. See, the beautiful poltergeist haunting my mind created a real-life, legally distinct mimic monster, and now it wasn’t just the fabric of reality I had to contend with—it was lawsuits from its parent company, run by a smoking-hot boss lady. Between that, a cute secret agent on the run (partly my fault), and the boss of Steelheart gunning for my shop (mostly my fault), I really had my hands full.

He wanted me instantly, pursued me relentlessly. At first, I was cold and resistant to his warmth. But he wore me down with his beautiful face and self-deprecating charm. He made me feel like the center of his universe.

From Paul Mason, the award-winning Channel 4 presenter, PostCapitalism is a guide to our era of seismic economic change and how we can build a more equal society. Over the past two centuries or so, capitalism has undergone continual change - economic cycles that lurch from boom to bust - and has always emerged transformed and strengthened. Surveying this turbulent history, Paul Mason wonders whether today we are on the brink of a change so big, so profound, that this time capitalism itself has reached its limits.

Our retro-tech towns might seem idyllic, yet go beyond the arcades and coffee shops and you'll reach the danger zones roamed by bionic bots. Me? I ran a video store with my cute friend Emiko. She's always been a little different, so I had to look out for her—we usually just watched movies and played games together. One day, a suspicious pink-haired chick burst into the store, warning me not to watch a tape labeled Property of Steelheart—Do Not Watch! So obviously, I did, and a terrifying ghost crawled out of the screen.

Unless we pause to consider the implications, we risk being swept away by the current of popular culture, where conformity is the coin of the realm and free speech is controlled by the media. We can do better than this. America is in trouble. Bad decisions have brought us here. It's tempting to pass off our discontent as merely two disturbing presidential election cycles. But the truth runs much deeper than that. Progressive overreach now permeates virtually every aspect of American culture. Everything is political. The divide is no longer as simple as Coke vs.

Until my best friend's youngest daughter became my intern. Mariana is everything I shouldn’t crave—free-spirited, unapologetically atheist, and way too young for me. And yet I want her with a fevered obsession, even if it means betraying the trust of my best friend.
