What happens when the biggest R&B superstar goes online for romance? The desire to find true love and be loved for who you really are is universal for men and women, even when you're one of the biggest R&B superstars in the world who is constantly controlled by the Mafia. For DLove, his real desire is to divorce the mob and marry a beautiful, ordinary New York woman who understands him and his world. When he goes online anonymously to find his match, he falls in love with his dream girl who thinks he's someone else. He realizes his life is riddled with Catch-22's, from women loving him for what he is rather than who he is to the Mafia giving him his start and his relentless quest to be free of them. As the mob continually comes to his aid when his younger cousin gets kidnapped and an ex-bodyguard threatens to write and publish a tell-all book about him, his dreams of leaving his Mafia allegiances behind are dashed when they make him an accessory to murder - ensuring their hold on D and his career. As the insanity unfolds D fights to rise above it all and surrenders only to love. Love.Com is Book Three in a series of four. Growing up in the streets of NYC, D knows the mafia would kill you just on principal. Add money to that equation and you're dead meat. Knowing the risks, D used the mob to get a leg up in the music business early in his career. Now years later as an R&B star, he cannot seem to break those ties. The more he tries to separate himself, the tighter a squeeze they put on him. Anthony Arena is the mafia soldier that has his deadly grasp on D. He uses extortion and murder to cement the relationship and D feels stuck with his earlier choices in life. All though his life feels like a dead end, he still believes in love. Victoria is the woman who captures D's heart when he goes online anonymously looking for the girl of his dreams. The antics of her two best friends and crack-head brother spin comedy and tragedy into the mix. As sex, drugs, extortion and murder play out all around D and his online sweetheart the one thing they both believe in stands strong. Their trials and tribulations prove that love is the most powerful force on earth and even stronger than the Mafia ties that bind.

In ten years, I served as a diver in the Australian Army, travelled for three years around the world, and returned home to complete a degree at the University of Queensland. This however, is not the most adventurous detail of my journey. Throughout this period, I was using the internet as a medium to facilitate friendship, fantasy and relationships. I inadvertently stumbled upon online dating on my housemate's desktop computer. It was a blessing because as a young man, I did not drink or go out clubbing like others my own age, therefore limiting my exposure with women. I knew what I was doing in the year 2001 was unorthodox, but despite the negative stigma, I was fascinated with the process of finding love online and of a world beyond that which I knew before. A world I discovered, which is limited only by your imagination. With a dose of honesty, humility and humour, the story follows my online experience from humble beginnings in the Australian Defence Force, to spiraling out of control in pursuit of more lurid satisfactions abroad. The book is as much a celebration of youth and adventure as it is a guide to navigating the often misunderstood world of internet dating. The final chapter is an accumulation of the ten most relevant lessons I learned through ten years of trial and error. Observing these rules will not only shed clarity on the process of online dating but most importantly offer readers tangible steps to speed up the process of fulfilling their online desires, whatever they might be.

“Chad Ford reminds us that humanity lies within all of us, and although conflict is everywhere in today's world, we have the tools we need to overcome obstacles and to thrive. This is a fantastic, timely book that I highly recommend." —Steve Kerr, Head Coach, Golden State Warriors Knowing how to transform conflict is critical in both our personal and professional lives. Yet, by and large, we are terrible at it. The reason, says longtime mediator Chad Ford, is fear. When conflict comes, our instincts are to run or fight. To transform conflict, Ford says we need to turn toward the people we are in conflict with, put down our physical and emotional weapons, and really love them with the kind of love that leads us to treat others as fellow human beings, not as objects in our way. We have to open ourselves up with no guarantee that anyone on the other side will do the same. While this can feel even more dangerous than conflict itself, it allows us to see the humanity of others so clearly that their needs and desires matter to us as much as our own. Ford shows dangerous love in action through examples ranging from his work in the Middle East to a deeply moving story about reconciling with his father. He explains why we disconnect from people at the very time we need to be most connected and the predictable patterns of justification and escalation that ensue. Most importantly, he gives us a path to practice dangerous love in the conflicts that matter most to us.

Soren Kierkegaard's Works of Love (1847), a series of deliberations on the commandment to love one's neighbor, has often been condemned by critics. Here, Ferreira seeks to rehabilitate Works of Love as one of Kierkegaard's most important works. He shows that Kierkegaard's deliberations on love are highly relevant to some important themes in contemporary ethics, including impartiality, duty, equality, mutuality, reciprocity, self-love, sympathy, and sacrifice. Ferreira also argues that Works of Love bears on issues peculiar to a religious ethic, such as the role of God as "middle term," and the possibility of preserving the aesthetic dimensions of love in a religious ethic of relation.
