Widower and a single father of four, Matt Pendleton is all work and no play. Between being a hotshot detective and caring for his children, there's little time for fun. Desperate for passion and connection, Matt hires an escort for the night. Emily Coulter is beautiful and fiercely independent, determined to make her own way in the world. Blindsided by their attraction for one another, neither can resist their desire. Emily's past with a vicious Dom contradicts Matt's present as a cop and a dad. After she offers him more than he's expecting, can he give her everything she needs? This book contains graphic sex and is not suitable for readers under the age of 18.

Comparing and Contrasting the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the European Union challenges the use of uncontextualised comparisons of COVID-19 cases and deaths in member states during the period when Europe was the epicentre of the pandemic. This timely study looks behind the headlines and the statistics to demonstrate the value for knowledge exchange and policy learning of comparisons that are founded on an in-depth understanding of key socio-demographic and public health indicators within their policy settings. The book adopts innovative, integrated, multi-disciplinary international perspectives to track and assess a fast-moving topical subject in an accessible format. It offers a template for analysing policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and for using evidence-based comparisons to inform and support policy development.
