At Any Price by Brenna Aubrey
Achievement Unlocked: Geek Virgin
When Mia Strong, proud geek-girl and popular gaming blogger,
auctions off her virginity online, she knows she'll make waves. But what she
will not be making is a love connection. Her rules are set in stone: One night.
No further contact.
It's a desperate step, but it's the only way she can go to
medical school and pay her mother's mounting hospital bills.
Difficulty Level: Millionaire CEO
Adam Drake, the enigmatic auction winner, is a software
prodigy who made his first million at seventeen. Now, in his mid-twenties, he's
sexy, driven and--as CEO of his own gaming company--he's used to making the
rules. Before Mia knows what's happening, he's found the loophole in the rules of
her auction. Every stipulation she's made to protect her heart gets tossed by
the wayside.
She can't tell if he's playing her...or if he's playing
for keeps.

Sam wants nothing to do with his irresponsible, sarcastic neighbor... Or does he?Sam
McAuley is having a rough start to the summer: Not only is he being
sued, but the new guy running the animal rehabilitation center next door
has no idea what he's doing and his runaway chickens constantly end up
in Sam's pristine yard.Everything is temporary for Bo Novak. For
as long as he can remember, it's been one town to the next, one school
to the next, one job to the next. Even his current job--running his
sister's animal rehab center while she's away on a four-month leave--is
temporary. And he does know what he's doing, thank you very much. Sure,
things don't always run smoothly, but the stick-in-the-mud next door
could be a little nicer about it.One overheard conversation, an
olive branch, and a baseball game might show these guys that being at
odds isn't really what they want, and that what they want might just be
each other. Views: 53
n March 1954 Peter Wildeblood, a London journalist, was one of five men
charged with homosexual acts in the notorious Montagu Case, as it came
to be known. Wildeblood was sentenced to eighteen months for homosexual
offences, along with Lord Montagu and Major Michael Pitt-Rivers. The
other two men were set free after turning Queen¿s Evidence. In this
book, first published in 1955, Peter Wildeblood tells the story of his
childhood and schooldays, his war service and university days, his life
as a journalist, his arrest, trial and imprisonment, and finally his
return to freedom. In its honesty and restraint it is eloquent testimony
to the inhumanity of the treatment of homosexuals in Britain only a
generation ago. Probably the first book on homosexuality to reach a mass
audience in Britain, Against the Law had a direct influence on the
Wolfenden Committee, whose Report in 1957 recommended that homosexual
acts between consenting adults in private be legalised, proposals which
were finally passed into law in 1967. Views: 53
