Shannon Yes, I probably shouldn't have slid down my boss' banister, but it was a long, hard, and inviting banister. How could I have known that he would come back early from vacation, that I wouldn't be able to stop, or that I would fly off the end, knock him down, and end up on top of him? And no, people, my you-know-what did not land on his face! And yes, I was supposed to be there. I was babysitting his sister's dog while her house was being fumigated. But now he's here, and I'm having erotic fantasies, but I'm desperate to buy a new washer and dryer, so I need to stop having these naughty thoughts, which I do. That is, until my free-thinking mother sends me brownies from California. Except there was a slight problem with the shipment. Garrett Women usually want one thing from me-money. But when Shannon slides down my banister, I know I want her. I have a feeling she might actually be different from all the others. She's funny and smart. And hot. Did I mention hot? I can't seem to get the image of her sliding down my banister out of my mind. Then the brownies arrive. The best I've ever had. Yes, Shannon is good. Real good. I should've known she was like all the others. How the hell could I have ended up in Vegas, married to the biggest con artist of them all?

Initially known for her work in photography--which she has been making over the last three decades--New York-based artist Moyra Davey (born 1958) is also an esteemed writer, editor and, most recently, filmmaker, whose works layer personal narratives with explorations of other authors, filmmakers and artists. This book is based on two related projects that take form as text, photography and film. Les Goddesses (2011) collapses the lives of Davey and her five sisters with those of the daughters of Mary Wollstonecraft, the 18th-century feminist writer and activist. Hemlock Forest (2016) weaves references to Wollstonecraft, Chantal Akerman and Karl Ove Knausgaard with her own family stories. During the making of Hemlock Forest, Akerman took her own life. Her death soon engulfed Davey's awareness, prompting a broader exploration of Akerman's and her own biographies, amid more universal themes of compulsion, artistic production, life and its passing.

Ghost Of A Chance Reporter Nikki "The Barracuda" Scott will sink her teeth into anything. So when her editor sends her to get the lowdown on bad boy football star Cal Braxton, Nikki's game to rough it on his family ranch. She just isn't prepared for exactly how rough. Still, the nasty outhouse, noisy animals, and resident ghost won't put Nikki off. . .especially once she sets eyes (and hands, and mouth) on her subject. If there's a juicy story here, Nikki intends to devour it. . . So, the lady thinks she's gonna get the scoop on him? Cal's had his fill of scheming females--hell, his conniving ex-fiancee is the very reason he's hiding out. Then again, if all journalists were as hot as Nikki, he might consider being more open with the press. Too bad she won't be around for long. If the chores and "rustic" conditions don't frighten Nikki off, her haunted accommodations surely will. Tough it turns out Nikki doesn't scare easily. Now Cal's the one who's scared--of falling hard. . .
