No one believed it was possible to commandeer an airliner in flight from a land-based location, then Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared over the Indian Ocean, giving rise to The Drone Theory among U.S. intelligence agencies. Since that fateful flight, dozens of other airliners have gone missing without a trace. Is it coincidence? Or is there something sinister at work? The Drone Theory Taskforce has one directive: Determine whether U.S. Top Secret technology—lost when a CIA drone went down in Iran—is being used to hijack airliners in flight, and if so, recover the technology. Air Force Intelligence Officer Major Megan Sloan doesn’t believe in coincidences. She’s determined to...
Nash the Trash. That’s what the neighbors call the motorcycle-riding, tattooed hunk squatting in the Carters’ house while the couple gallivants around the globe for their golden wedding anniversary. For Lauren and Trevor Wilson, watching the house sitter swim in the nude strikes a match to their already robust sex life and inadvertently brings latent desires to the forefront—desires their temporary neighbor is uniquely qualified to satisfy. But can they indulge in the fire he stokes and keep their marriage from going up in flames at the same time? House sitting for his grandparents while they’re on the extended cruise he gifted them for their 50th anniversary is the perfect solution to Nash Sutton’s temporary housing problem. The suburban home comes complete with a pool to feed his passion for swimming and a sexy couple next door to stave off boredom while being close enough to oversee work on his latest real estate acquisition. Teasing Lauren and Trevor is fun until the fire they ignite within him blazes out of control. When more than his heart gets burned, he realizes the Wilsons are everything he wants and more than he deserves.

Lookin’ Good I wish I had never told Travis my deepest, darkest secret—that I like to watch. I should have known he would want to give me my heart’s desire. I love him more than anything, but I hate him for using my weakness to try to win me back. Moreover, I hate myself for not being able to turn down the gifts he brings me. Bailey Rose Hung Up I s...

This handbook explores prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination primarily as phenomena embedded in the social organization of societies and connected to structural factors and larger societal systems. It offers a unique critical and cross-disciplinary approach to the study of contemporary manifestations of prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination. New socio-psychological analyses of the most pressing social problems of our age bring into view future directions of research on prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination oriented to social change and collective action and that engage with wider systems of norms and discourse. The editors draw on social psychology, sociology, social policy, c...
Transgender studies, broadly defined, has become increasingly prominent as a field of study over the past several decades, particularly in the last ten years. The experiences and rights of trans people have also increasingly become the subject of news coverage, such as the ability of trans people to access restrooms, their participation in the military, the issuing of driver’s licenses that allow a third gender option, the growing visibility of nonbinary trans teens, the denial of gender-affirming health care to trans youth, and the media’s misgendering of trans actors. With more and more trans people being open about their gender identities, doctors, nurses, psychologists, social worker...
