"Tyler Cree has never been good at the whole look and don't touch thing. From the moment he was old enough to walk on his own two feet, he's been looking for trouble. Trouble comes in many forms ... quite a few of those forms being the female persuasion. Tyler knows what girls want--a bad boy. And he has the bad boy image down pat. Ex-military--check. Hot cop--double check. A bike between his legs and a devil may care attitude--oh, yeah. All the girls want him, yet none of them will have him--at least not all of him, anyway. A certain appendage they can have all they want. His heart, however, is not up for grabs. The useless organ inside his chest was broken and battered, mutilated by the one woman he thought would keep it safe. Spoiler alert: she ripped it to shreds and set fire to the pieces. To protect himself, Tyler keeps everyone at arm's length, and never lets anyone get too close. Then Reagan Rose Alvarez barrels into his life, and trespasses on not only his property, but straight into his abused heart. One glance is all it takes, and he's suddenly thinking about things he hasn't thought for quite some time--thoughts that a man like him should never have about a woman like her. One moment of weakness is all it takes, and suddenly he has no other choice but to go on the offensive. Keeping her is the only other option now. Turns out, his heart isn't as broken as he thought it was. The only problem is, now the little she-devil holds it in the palm of her hands, and she has no clue just how much power she holds."--Back cover.

From acclaimed poet and creator of the popular twitter account @SoSadToday comes the darkly funny and brutally honest collection of essays that Roxane Gay called "sad and uncomfortable and their own kind of gorgeous." Melissa Broder always struggled with anxiety. In the fall of 2012, she went through a harrowing cycle of panic attacks and dread that wouldn't abate for months. So she began @sosadtoday, an anonymous Twitter feed that allowed her to express her darkest feelings, and which quickly gained a dedicated following. In So Sad Today, Broder delves deeper into the existential themes she explores on Twitter, grappling with sex, death, love low self-esteem, addiction, and the drama of waiting for the universe to text you back. With insights as sharp as her humor, Broder explores--in prose that is both ballsy and beautiful, aggressively colloquial and achingly poetic--questions most of us are afraid to even acknowledge, let alone answer, in order to discover what it really means to be a person in this modern world.

Born into All Hallows. Wishing on a star of more than Just because. So why you tell me All my saints, they don't exist But your Jesus does? When I was a child, life was full of wonder and magic held fast by a child's imagination and not by what they may have seen or heard. Then it was time to put away childish things in favour of a set of rules that should have defined but merely complicated. The song lyrics in this book strive to accomplish two things. One, explore the wisdom of all such childish notions through the eyes of the forgotten child in all of us and two, fuel a series of fictional books with one already lurking... somewhere in cyber-land....

In a world of divisive politicians, brainwashed followers, and extreme school rivalries between spoon-wielding Puddin’ Heads and their sworn enemies, the Sweeties, 14-year-old Blaze Union is expelled for the offense of playing guitar and soccer with hands deemed “too large” by MegaCorp standards.

Armed with a sarcastic teacher and a band of rebellious misfits, Blaze's revolution rapidly gains momentum, catching powerful knuckleheads off guard. But as shocking events escalate the conflict between the Puddin' Heads and Sweeties, Blaze faces unexpected enemies, shady alliances, and a disturbing question: are these catastrophes just coincidences, the fallout of her rebellion, or the work of hidden forces lurking in the shadows? With the country on edge, Blaze must confront the truth before her revolution unravels and the nation’s schools spiral into chaos. Brace yourself for a wild adventure filled with delusional leaders, epic showdowns, and a fight for freedom like no other. And don’t forget your spoon helmet—you’ll need it.

As the leading legal historian of his generation in Canada and professor at McGill University for over three decades, Blaine Baker (1952–2018) was known for his unique personality, teaching style, intellectual cosmopolitanism, and deep commitment to the place of Canadian legal history in the curriculum of law faculties. Law, Life, and the Teaching of Legal History examines important themes in Canadian legal history through the prism of Baker’s career. Essays discuss Baker’s own research, his influence within McGill’s law faculty, his complex personality, and the relationship between the private and the public in the life of a university intellectual at the turn of the twenty-first century. Inspired by topics Baker took up in his own writing, contributors use Baker’s broad interests in legal culture to reflect on fundamental themes across Canadian legal history, including legal education, gender and race, technology, nation building and national identity, criminal law and marginalized populations, and constitutionalism. Law, Life, and the Teaching of Legal History offers a contemporary analysis of Canadian legal history and thoughtfully engages with what it means to honour one individual’s enduring legacy in the study of law.

This is the second collection of poems in my poetry trilogy. The first book is more autobiographical than anything else. This book focuses on streams of consciousness and ideas with a little biographical aspect in it as well. It’s a 2.0 version of my first collection of poems. My poems are meant to hit home. I feel like this collection can be very relatable, and the goal is to touch as many people as I can. Read on!
