The laughter of a silver haired beauty gave him the first glimpse of freedom, but when he wanted to claim her the darkness fought him. Now he must fight a war inside his own mind to claim his mate before the darkness forces him to kill her.

Meredith Richardson had struggled her whole life. First with the fact that she had no father, then with her teenage pregnancy and marriage, later she struggled with her husband's illness and death.

Then as if out of the blue she was confronted by a determined force that would wrench her out of her self-imposed solitude and back into the world of the living. Jackson St. John was a man of ambition. He had built his fortune with a will of iron, but he was driven by a past he could not escape.

Distribution furious over an invoice dispute he was not expecting to come face to face with a pair of sad hazel eyes that would change his life. Now Jackson must fight to have her when she wanted nothing more than to be left alone. He must convince her that life was worth the pain of living. When tragedy and circumstances threatened to tear them apart they must learn to trust in the love they had found to overcome the hurdles life placed in their path or let go and live in misery apart.

Prostitute, adulteress, unmarried woman who engages in sexual relations, victim of seduction-the Victorian "e;fallen woman"e; represents a complex array of stigmatized conditions. Amanda Anderson here reconsiders the familiar figure of the fallen woman within the context of mid-Victorian debates over the nature of selfhood, gender, and agency. In richly textured readings of works by Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, among others, she argues that depictions of fallen women express profound cultural anxieties about the very possibility of self-control and traditional moral responsibility.

How do the ways we argue represent a practical philosophy or a way of life? Are concepts of character and ethos pertinent to our understanding of academic debate? In this book, Amanda Anderson analyzes arguments in literary, cultural, and political theory, with special attention to the ways in which theorists understand ideals of critical distance, forms of subjective experience, and the determinants of belief and practice. Drawing on the resources of the liberal and rationalist tradition, Anderson interrogates the limits of identity politics and poststructuralism while holding to the importance of theory as a form of life. Considering high-profile trends as well as less noted patterns of argument, The Way We Argue Now addresses work in feminism, new historicism, queer theory, postcolonialism, cosmopolitanism, pragmatism, and proceduralism. The essays brought together here--lucid, precise, rigorously argued--combine pointed critique with an appreciative assessment of the productive internal contests and creative developments across these influential bodies of thought. Ultimately, The Way We Argue Now promotes a revitalized culture of argument through a richer understanding of the ways critical reason is practiced at the individual, collective, and institutional levels. Bringing to the fore the complexities of academic debate while shifting the terms by which we assess the continued influence of theory, it will appeal to readers interested in political theory, literary studies, cultural studies, gender studies, and the place of academic culture in society and politics.

Bible teacher and popular speaker Amanda Anderson shows women how to form the safe, sane friendships that enable them to become the person God intends them to be.

Combining analysis of Victorian literature and culture with theoretical argument, this title examines the progressive potential of those forms of cultivated detachment associated with Enlightenment and modern thought. It explores a range of practices in nineteenth-century British culture, including methods of objectivity in social science.
