College football's most notorious tight end wants to show her that everything's bigger in Texas. Cassie I can't stand jocks. And I don't know the first thing about football. So it's just my luck that the tutoring job I take to get me through graduate school involves making sure a dumb jock passes his classes. Now, I'm babysitting Colton King, a spoiled arrogant player who's as famous for his bedroom antics as he is for his football skills. The tight end with the filthy mouth tells me he'll show me that everything's bigger in Texas. And heaven help me, I just might be considering it. * * * Colton My life is one big party, and that's never going to change. Not even if my coach finds me a nerdy tutor he thinks will keep me in line. Miss Goody Two Shoes is uptight, high-strung, and unimpressed by the fact that I'm a campus legend. Even worse, the hot little tutor is as pure as the driven snow. Debauching her and making her mine is the ultimate challenge. And I always rise to the occasion.

When compromising pictures of me with the pro football quarterback I'm behavior coaching hit the press, we need damage control. I'm probably going to lose my job since his fiancée's father-the man who hired me-discovered the pictures as I woke to a cloudy memory of the night before. My questions surrounding Jack's relationship with his future bride grow more pressing by the day...especially when his eyes tackle me with all that heat. As he saves my job and I continue to coach him toward better decisions, I find myself falling for him. Maybe my purpose here is to open his eyes to all his options. But if he leaves his new boss's daughter, the consequences could mean the end of both our careers. TACKLED is the second book in the VEGAS ACES: THE QUARTERBACK series. This series must be read in order.

Disappointed at first by not being large enough to make quarterback, Boots discovers that there is as much challenge in playing tackle.

Unjustly dismissed from the football team for drug possession, Scott learns that only by finding out who planted the marijuana in his duffel bag can he clear himself with his parents.

When he becomes stronger but slower, Terry must deal with being moved from defensive safety to offensive tackle on his football team and with the fact that his younger brother, who was born with Down's Syndrome, is becoming a faster runner.

A little brother replaces a regular team member who is sick, but the outlook for Saturday's football game is still grim.

Tackling Health Inequalities: Lessons from International Experiences provides a unique perspective on health inequalities in Canada and elsewhere. This exciting new volume brings together experiences from seven wealthy developed nations -- the United States, Australia, Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Finland, Norway, and Sweden -- to analyze their contrasting approaches to reducing avoidable health problems. Some nations are successfully responding to health inequalities, but Canada and the United States are not among them. Why is this, and what can we learn from other nations? Through a political economy lens, Tackling Health Inequalities considers how societal structures and institutions shape the distribution of economic, political, and social resources that affect health disparities amongst the population. The volume then goes on to examine how governing authorities come to either confront or ignore these health inequalities and the conditions that create them. Through these illustrations, it encourages governing authorities that are tackling health inequalities to continue their efforts and directs those that are not -- such as in Canada and elsewhere -- towards what must be done. This groundbreaking text shows the primary lessons from these international experiences: that citizens in Canada and elsewhere need to educate themselves about the importance of tackling health inequalities, and then build the political and social movements that will compel governmental authorities to take action. This volume will serve as a rich resource for professionals and general readers interested in health studies, nursing, social work, public policy, and political economy.

In its first edition, published in 1993, The Complete Book of Tackle Making became the reference of choice for builders of fine tackle and casual craftsmen alike.
