If the wider, football-conscious world is aware of just two things about Scottish football, they are surely as follows: firstly, that there is a virulent rivalry in Glasgow between the city's two great teams, Rangers and Celtic, based on a religious divide; and secondly, that Rangers recently suffered a catastrophic financial collapse, which ultimately led to the club's insolvency. Split into two separate, but closely linked, sections, Tangled Up in Blue: The Rise and Fall of Rangers FC gives the full account of both of these stories. Stephen O'Donnell explores how Rangers first became associated with hard-line Protestantism, dominating Scottish football for decades without ever knowingly signing a Catholic footballer, until the feted arrival of Maurice Johnston at Ibrox in 1989. He then switches focus to the club's financial affairs, as Rangers' unsustainable spending brought the club to the brink of collapse and, despite the hidden benefits of an illegal tax avoidance...

**The Complete What Alex Wants Duet
Alex
I knew she wouldn't say no. No one ever does.
I have more in my life than any one man should. Money that can literally buy anything I want, enough power to control a city of millions, and a long line of willing women to fulfill every deviant desire I can dream up.
My life is exactly how I want it.
Until she stumbles into my perfect world.
An innocent that I have no business corrupting. Except that's all I want.
I just have to figure out what she desires and twist it into something she can't resist before she finds out the truth.
I want, no NEED, to own her.
Harper

An honest and unaffected collection of human experiences that deftly tackles themes of grief, loss, missed opportunities, and the pain of letting go.The stories in Michael Melgaard's poignant debut collection Pallbearing offer candid snapshots of life in a small town, where the struggle to make ends meet forces people into desperate choices. In "Little to Lose," a son confronts his mother over the crushing prison of debt created by her gambling addiction. The aging divorcée in "Coming and Going" spends her days in paranoid pursuit of evidence to incriminate her neighbours in the derelict trailer park where she lives. And in "Clarence and Rose," lifelong friends find love after their respective partners die, and then face loss all over again. With deceptively spare prose that carries outsized emotional weight and pathos, Melgaard brings his characters to life in sharp-edged portraits and all-too-human dilemmas, creating engaging stories that resonate with honesty...
