Mistletoe Maneuvers
by Margaret Allison"You're Not Going To Get Undressed Here, Are You?" "No." In fact, Rick wasn't thinking about undressing himself, but her. What the hell was going on here? This was a business relationship. She was Alessandra Lawrence, chairman of the board. The one who fired him. So why did he want to rip off her suit and take her right on the bed? Because she was a beautiful woman. He'd always suspected as much, of course. But with her conservative suits and reserved manner, he never saw her as anything more than a wolf in sheep's clothing. He had her pegged as an uptight prude. But there was something about her now that gave him pause. She had a quality, a way about her. There was a spark there. A connection. But whatever it was, it needed to be ignored. She was off-limits. Forever and always. This whole thing was make-believe. And he needed to keep it that way.

The Devil and the Giro: Two Centuries of Scottish Stories
by Carl McdougallCarl MacDougal has assembled a collection of Scottish short stories from the past 2 centuries which will appeal to a wide variety of reader. Drop in to the over 700 pages to read haunting tales of the supernatural, like the story of a sensitive girl born to fall in love with a man only she can see through a library window at twilight. Enjoy the Gudewife's comic instructions on how to Hammer a husband in to docility and obedience. Ponder the inevitability of death, as a son learns that preventing the death of one, can cause the deaths of all. Consider social commentary as a child refuses to parrot his catechism at Sunday school and a man approaching middle age without ever having kept a job fantasizes a better future while steadfastly clinging to near starvation on the giro supplemented by handouts. Sample short stories by familiar authors like Conan Doyle and Robert Lewis Stevenson. Some stories are told in Scottish dialect as it has evolved over the past 200 years and others are modern addressing issues of racial tolerance and alcoholism. MacDougal's commentaries include short biographical information about each author, a summary of the author's writing career, style, and place in literary history, and an explanation of the nature and relevance of the story to follow. Collectively these stories showcase the Scottish character in the city and in the country, from childhood to old age in every conceivable social and economic circumstance. The editor suggests further reading for each author. A 4 page list of works by Scottish authors in the Canongate Classics is included at the end of the book.
