A secret vow to protect her and see to her needs without an official mating is the only way to ensure she’s safe. Especially from him. But keeping their physical relationship from the rest of their clan is easier said than done. Even trickier? Keeping his heart from wanting to claim her for good. She gave him her trust years ago, now she’s ready to give him her future. There’s no one Dr. Christina Davis trusts more than the male who has protected her over the years. In order to obey their clan’s no-mating law, they’ve kept their relationship a secret, stealing moments of passion when no one was looking. But now that the laws have changed and they’re free to mate, Owyn hasn’t shown any interest in wanting more. In fact, he hasn’t touched her since. Now that a future with his mate is possible, Owyn will do whatever it takes to win her heart and prove that the real secret he’s been hiding was that she already owned his.

Romanising Oriental Gods by Jaime Alvar Ezquerra Pdf
The traditional grand narrative correlating the decline of Graeco-Roman religion with the rise of Christianity has been under pressure for three decades. This book argues that the alternative accounts now emerging significantly underestimate the role of three major cults, of Cybele and Attis, Isis and Serapis, and Mithras. Although their differences are plain, these cults present sufficient common features to justify their being taken typologically as a group. All were selective adaptations of much older cults of the Fertile Crescent. It was their relative sophistication, their combination of the imaginative power of unfamiliar myth with distinctive ritual performance and ethical seriousness, that enabled them both to focus and to articulate a sense of the autonomy of religion from the socio-political order, a sense they shared with Early Christianity. The notion of 'mystery' was central to their ability to navigate the Weberian shift from ritualist to ethical salvation.

Informers by Roger Billingsley,Teresa Nemitz,Philip Bean Pdf
The police rely heavily on paid and unpaid informers: without them clear-up rates would plummet, and many crimes would remain undetected. Yet little is known about the informer system and how it works, for example: who are these informers? how are they recruited? how are they handled? who handles them? what sort of information do they provide? Recent high profile cases have drawn attention to the use of informers, there has been a growing debate about the subject, and many feel that stricter controls are needed - but how is this to be achieved without undermining the effectiveness of the system? This is the first book of its kind on informers in Britain, providing an invaluable source of information and analysis from key authorities in the field.

Death, Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary Adolescent Literature by Kathryn James Pdf
Knowledge about carnality and its limits provides the agenda for much of the fiction written for adolescent readers today, yet there exists little critical engagement with the ways in which it has been represented in the young adult novel in either discursive, ideological, or rhetorical forms. Death, Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary Adolescent Literature is a pioneering study that addresses these methodological and contextual gaps. Focusing on texts produced since the late-1980s, and drawing on a range of theoretical perspectives, Kathryn James shows how representations of death in young adult literature are invariably associated with issues of sexuality, gender, and power. Under particular scrutiny are the trope of woman/death, the eroticizing and sexualizing of death, and the ways in which the gendered subject is represented in dialogue with the processes of death, dying, and grief. Through close readings of historical literature, fantasy fictions, realistic novels, dead-narrator tales, and texts from genres including Gothic, horror, and post-disaster, James reveals not only how cultural discourses influence and are influenced by literary works, but how relevant the study of death is to adolescent fiction--the literature of "becoming."
