Whether you work for a tyrant, a control freak, or a bona fide psychotic, this book gives you permission to hate your boss and still manage to be productive. Upbeat and offbeat, this cure for the common-dictator explains why we hate bosses, why the ``perfect boss'' is a pipe dream, how suffering under a bad boss can improve your work, why it's advantageous to be a smart follower, and how to get along--even emphatize--with even the most power-crazed ruler.

Did you know skinny dipping is illegal? After the worst year of my life, I decided I would do things that scared me. So when my best friend dared me to go for a moonlight swim, I went for it. Problem is, there was a warrant for my arrest. My ex had racked up a million parking tickets on my car without telling me. Now, I'm faced with one phone call and aside from my drunk best friend, I only know one other soul in the entire city. My brother's best friend and my childhood tormenter, Benton Murphy, aka the hottest lawyer on the west coast. I know he'd bail me out for my brother's sake, but I swore I wouldn't contact him. Now, I don't have much of a choice. The man who comes to pick me up from jail is not the lanky kid with the mohawk I knew as a teen. Benton's all grown up and makes my knees weak from the mere sight of those broad shoulders and baby blues. Benton Murphy may be a respectable grown up now, but he's the last man I'd ever get involved with. Problem is, now I owe him a favor and he's come to collect. How hard can it be to pretend to be the future Mrs. Murphy for a weekend? Love to Hate You is a full length, stand alone steamy romantic comedy.

KAT This isn’t a love story… It’s a hate one. Because after Ethan Riske came into my life faster than a sexy dark blond bullet nine years ago, I realized that hate was all there could ever be between us. The troubled small town prince loved me. He lusted for me. And then he left…stranding me in the dust of the Southern spit of land where we’d met. I never expected to see him again. I never expected that he (and all his trouble) would find me. And I absolutely never, never expected that one day he’d try so hard to become the man I call “Boss.” This is our story. I warned you that love wasn’t a part of it… If only I remembered to heed that warning, too.

In a controversial first novel that took the French literary world by storm and won the Prix de Flore, Tristan Garcia uses sex, friendships, and love affairs to show what happens to people when political ideals—Marxism, gay rights, sexual liberation, nationalism—come to an end. As Elizabeth Levallois, a cultural journalist, looks back on this decade and on the ravages of the AIDS epidemic in Paris, a drama unfolds—one in which love turns to hate and fidelity turns to betrayal, in both affairs of the heart and politics. With great verve and ingenuity, Garcia lays claim to an era that promised freedom as never before, and he paints an indelible, sharp, but sympathetic portrait of intellectuals lost in the age of MTV.
