Amelia Hatcher has been suffering from migraines and holes in her memory for as long as she can remember. Sometimes she'll fall asleep in the living room and then wake up in her bathtub with no recollection of how she got there at all. After years of this, she gets fed up and finally seeks out a doctor, one who tells her that she's probably not crazy and is definitely being visited by aliens. Mia’s not pleased at the thought that she’s being mocked by a healthcare professional who she came to for help, but it's much harder to doubt when she wakes up to find a strange man climbing through her window, and telling her that she needs to come with him right away. Of course, the fact that several definitely not human looking things make their appearance soon after does a lot to make her believe, too. She never asked to be singled out by a runaway king and his princely nephew, but she’s about to be offered a stunning opportunity to change her life forever.

From propaganda released by the Third Reich to legislation passed in more than fifty nations, smoking is one of society's favorite targets. While the public goes along with persecuting smokers, Theodore J. King is here to tell us why we shouldn't. In this book, which does not advocate smoking, King surveys smoking bans in the United States, England, and Ireland, documenting their effects on society and commerce. King interviews many people, including members of the medical community. King takes his arguments further, showing how and why bans on smoking extend to other areas of our lives-how smokers are only the beginning. Anti-smokers represent an agenda that involves everything from personal property to the way you raise your children, what you eat, and your right to freedom of speech. Authoritarians have willing accomplices in the press and government to take power at the individual's expense. Learn how anti-smoking fanatics use tobacco control as an effective form of social engineering. King offers solutions so that smokers and non-smokers can be accommodated in a free society, where it must never be a crime to smoke in a bar, in a car, in the open air, in a restaurant, or at home.

Kelley provides an examination of Hillary Rodham Clinton's rhetorical responses to mediated versions of crises in the Clinton Administration. She begins by examining the historical First Lady, and then looks at mediated political realities in general as well as those of the Clinton presidency. Kelley also examines the rhetorical management of political crises and the crises management style of First Ladies, including Florence Harding and Eleanor Roosevelt. The book focuses on the analysis of Hillary Rodham Clinton's rhetorical management of crises in her husband's Administration, including health care, Travelgate, Whitewater, and allegations of sexual misconduct. Kelley's approach is grounded in Kenneth Burke's framework of language as a symbolic means of inducing cooperation through rhetorical identification. She concludes with speculation regarding both the degree of success of Hillary Clinton's efforts as well as the implications of those efforts to rhetorical and political communication and feminist theory. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and researchers of the presidency and the role of the First Lady, political communication, and feminist studies.

I'll do anything to save my kids. I'll even be his servant. In any other situation, I'd give this gorgeous warlord a piece of my mind. Who does he think he is that I'd fall for that handsome face, those ripped abs, and lick-worthy muscles? Yes, this warlord is the only thing protecting me and my two little kids from the tyrant looking to kill us. And sure, ever since we crash landed in his kingdom, he's taken care of us. Protected us. Looked after the kids and kept us safe. If that means serving him, so be it. I'll do anything he wants, as long as he continues to protect us. But to then say that I'm his fated mate? And that he loves me? Please. I may be a servant, but I don't have to like it THAT much. I am for sure going to find a way out of having to rely on him. We are so not going to be a family I keep reminding myself. But then...why is it that when he's around, I'm not thinking of myself as his nanny. Or his servant. But rather as his... Wife.
