One Month with Vince Tanev: Tampa's Hotshot RookieTwenty-four-seven access on and off the ice. The headline says it all, and my bosses are over the moon when the opportunity of a lifetime lands in my lap. Of course, they aren't aware that I've already met Vince Cool at an all-star gala - and that we were at each other's throats the entire time. It doesn't matter that he's the kind of hot that shows God has favourites - messy brown hair, heated hazel eyes, the smirk of a rockstar and a scar over his eyebrow that makes every woman particularly feral. He's a rich, cocky playboy - a brand I'm all too familiar with, and one I'm determined to never be around again. But after my coverage of the gala stirs up buzz, the team's General Manager and my CEO strike a deal. To help fill the arena at home games, I'll get up close and personal with Tampa's new shiny toy. Whether he's at practice, playing in a game, partying or drinking coffee half-naked in his condo - I'll be there for all of it. Vince gets under my skin like no one else. It isn't long before that paper-thin line between hate and lust blurs, and being around him every waking minute of the day leaves no chance to escape his devilish stare. The air crackles between us. The tension is hot enough to melt my inhibitions. But I know the way this story ends. I've lived it once before. As much as I work to guard my heart, my body is a traitor - and if this man puts his hands on me, I know I'll submit to desire. I thought one month with Vince Tanev was a game I could win easily. But I might have just met my match.

On the Future of Food is a deep-dive into our complex relationship with food on a global scale - from a means to assert ownership of the world to an indispensable tactic of civil rights movements. Catherine Joy White takes her experience as an advisor to the United Nations to establish the cultural, social, personal and political power of food, as a blueprint to life, a flagstone of community and a human right that many go without. White imparts a rich and expansive legacy that forms our contemporary relationship with food and the land itself - and highlights what we have forgotten along the way. Bringing to life her vision of a future that demands we must look back to go forward, White tackles issues of food poverty and its intersections with gender, a growing disconnect with the natural world and misconceptions of disordered eating, underlined, without fail, by the hope and knowledge that we can do better. Rebel Takes is a series that asks its writers, first and foremost, to hope. Exploring the past and present of foundational aspects of society and culture, each instalment will envision an alternative future, charge history with radical possibility and most vitally set out to answer the question: how can we make change happen?
