Ashira, a belle from the suburbs, is the wealthy acting CEO of her father’s booming building firm. That's when she’s not the dancer on the Gram and TikTok, dating the latest Black Hollywood shooting star. To her, Jas, a construction laborer, is a walking conundrum. He’s fruitlessly ambitious yet steadfast in his spiritual convictions. He’s enigmatic, well-read, regimented, and poor. Oh, and a felon. An incredibly disarming parolee who wants no connection to her. Until he does.

My mother trained me to be numb. To keep my volatile emotions carefully locked away. But when my drug-addicted stepfather decides to clear his debt by offering my sister to the Ruthless Mafia Men that run our city, I have no choice but to react. Keeping her safe is the only thing I've ever been good at. And, unlike her, I've already been scarred by the cruelties of our world. So I did the only thing I could do, the only thing that would ensure that they'd never go looking for her. I offered myself to big bad wolves instead.

Max Weber's best-known and most controversial work, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, first published in 1904, remains to this day powerful and fascinating. Weber's highly accessible style is just one of many reasons for his continuing popularity. The book contends that the Protestant ethic made possible and encouraged the development of capitalism in the West.

He devised a specific road map of how they'd carry out their covenant—without input from her. She determined she needed to chart a new course in order to stay true to herself. Perhaps Ezra has been wrong about his gift from above. Maybe Lex has bitten off more than she can chew. At this fork in the road will they continue their detour, or will they find middle ground and a covenant that keeps them bonded for life?

The plan is simple: Get accepted into a PhD program. Though the odds seem impossibly long, an objective analysis of the deliverables yields promise. An essay, a standardized test, a handful of convincing recommendations? Certainly these are items that can be willed into existence. But let us not be fooled. We are embarking on a full year of unwavering focus and studious virtue. There can be no distractions, no digressions, no sudden feats of fleeting whimsy.

My mother won’t release me from her mistake. I was my ex’s unplanned side chick and his something to do. I’m struggling to forgive myself for my reckless decision nearly six years ago. Then I encountered him, the sexy stranger whose presence gave me a flicker of hope. The problem is. . . my scars. Is he worth taking a chance with?

The Reapers were always supposed to be the villains in my story. They were the four ruthless brothers who ruled our city with an obscene amount of cash and more blood on their hands than the most vicious killers. When I first showed up on their doorstep, I was a toy. A shiny new object for the big bad wolves in designer suits to play with. They could use and abuse me as much as they wanted, and I knew no one would step in to stop them. I was nothing to them. That is, until I became everything.

Fellow at Ethic & Public Policy Center, scholar at The Institute for Human Ecology at CUA and the nationally best-selling author of the Theology of Home series, Carrie Gress argues that fifty years of radical feminism have had the opposite of the intended effect and have granted primacy of place to the traditionally male sphere of life, while simultaneously devaluing the typical attributes, virtues, and strengths of women.

Astrology is complicated when your star sign attracts vampires, incubi, and demons. The more I've learned about the supernatural world, the less I seem to know. How I went from never having a date to having two Zodiac Shifter hybrids fighting over me can only be explained by the stars. One of them says he doesn't want me, one of them wants me too much, and as we start preparing for the annual school picnic set on the Taurus full moon, I don't know how we're supposed to all coexist in public without burning all of our secrets to the ground.

The Reapers of Caspian Hills are powerful men. So powerful that when my idiotic stepfather offered them my little sister, I knew no one in their right mind would try to stop them. But I never claimed to be totally sane. Offering myself in Alex's place was borderline suicidal, but I strolled into the lion's den anyway. While the brothers definitely lived up to their ruthless reputation, I discovered they had a weakness after all—me.

Ojasvi "Sin" Sinclair. Fast-forwarding three years after it was finally revealed, what's in a name?

He's also convicted in his spiritual walk, a savvy entrepreneur, laboriously supportive, a tad insane, and has possibly run out of patience for her. He's also the father of her three-year-old child.
