Ace Hart was a force to be reckoned with in the world of covert operations and special ops...until her entire unit was killed. Ace had dreamt about the surprise attack for weeks before it happened, as if she'd predicted their demise. A terrifying, otherworldly darkness awoke within her that day; no one should have survived what she did. Ace is thrust into the world of The Agency, a clandestine firm dealing in the paranormal. There she meets Agent Lazarev, a man with an offer too good to refuse: answers. She uncovers her celestial lineage, setting her on a predetermined course with fate. Ace is the Divine Sensitive, a prophesied warrior destined to save the world and restore order. In a world where truth is an illusion and trust is rare, Ace must learn who to let in and who to believe. Is her new employer the reason her unit was killed...or is she?

Roses are red. Violets are blue. Forget everything good you've been told about love, because none of it's true. You don't agree? Spend a day in my shoes and you'd curse love too. My name's Blue. Yes, you read that right. Blue Daniels. And I hate love. I despise every single thing about it. In my thirty-two years on this earth it has brought me nothing but heartbreak and disappointment. Love is a void. Something we're taught we need if we want to live a happy and fulfilled life. Well I disagree. Some say I'm a cynic. Other's call me the smartest woman they've ever met. But no matter what anyone says, I know what I need. And love is not it. Enter Harris Avery. A man who thinks he can have anyone he wants, including me. A man who reminds me daily why I swore off love in the first place. He walks around the office like he owns the place, throwing that sexy smirk of his at every female he passes. He thinks no one is immune to his charm. But poor Mr. Avery has never met a girl like me before. I'm more likely to throw myself off a bridge than at his feet. There's just one problem... He's decided to make it his mission to prove me wrong. To that I say, let the games begin...
The experience of witnessing and undertaking border crossings has become a pillar of the contemporary human condition. In order to respond to our global, multidimensional social reality, writers need to generate innovative forms of narration that expand the confines of literary tradition. This study discusses four types of border crossing (migration, intercultural dialogue, multicultural identities, military invasion) and presents literary aesthetics that unfold in Algeria, China, France, Germany, Romania, Switzerland, Trinidad and Tobago, the UK, and the USA. These analyses move from the fall of the Iron Curtain to the rise of the internet, and from the turn of the millennium to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Positioned in the field of comparative literature, this book draws upon an extensive background of theoretical thought (e.g. Adorno/Horkheimer, Arendt, Dawkins, Fanon, Freud, Kristeva, Žižek) and reaches into other academic disciplines (such as religious studies). Border crossings thus serve as both theme and methodology, which not only leads to a new definition of post-modern writing, but also underlines literature's relevance in a global society driven by public discourse.
A Violent History of Benevolence traces how normative histories of liberalism, progress, and social work enact and obscure systemic violences. Chris Chapman and A.J. Withers explore how normative social work history is structured in such a way that contemporary social workers can know many details about social work’s violences, without ever imagining that they may also be complicit in these violences. Framings of social work history actively create present-day political and ethical irresponsibility, even among those who imagine themselves to be anti-oppressive, liberal, or radical. The authors document many histories usually left out of social work discourse, including communities of Black social workers (who, among other things, never removed children from their homes involuntarily), the role of early social workers in advancing eugenics and mass confinement, and the resonant emergence of colonial education, psychiatry, and the penitentiary in the same decade. Ultimately, A Violent History of Benevolence aims to invite contemporary social workers and others to reflect on the complex nature of contemporary social work, and specifically on the present-day structural violences that social work enacts in the name of benevolence.

In the summer of 1927, an itinerant Black laborer named Broadus Miller was accused of killing a fifteen-year-old white girl in Morganton, North Carolina. Miller became the target of a massive manhunt lasting nearly two weeks. After he was gunned down in the North Carolina mountains, his body was taken back to Morganton and publicly displayed on the courthouse lawn on a Sunday afternoon, attracting thousands of spectators. Kevin W. Young vividly illustrates the violence-wracked world of the early twentieth century in the Carolinas, the world that created both Miller and the hunters who killed him. Young provides a panoramic overview of this turbulent time, telling important contextual histories of events that played into this tragic story, including the horrific prison conditions of the era, the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, and the influx of Black immigrants into North Carolina. More than an account of a single murder case, this book vividly illustrates the stormy race relations in the Carolinas during the early 1900s, reminding us that the legacy of this era lingers into the present.

Presented from the perspectives of a former FBI profiler and a forensic violence-risk expert, Profiling Violent Crime: A Behavioral and Forensic Approach educates readers about the nature of criminal profiling including how it works, the techniques it draws on, the types of offenders it applies to, and the psychological make-ups of those offenders. Drawing from technique, as well as from theory and the latest clinical research, Profiling Violent Crime delves into precisely what it means to profile. Students learn what it's like to be on the ground as an FBI profiler, dispelling myths and detailing the actual process. Subsequent chapters detail crime scene analysis; determination of the type of offender that may be at work; the fascinating interplay between mental illness and criminality; and breakdowns of the various types of criminal offenders including stalkers, murderers, rapists, mass murderers, and serial killers. The book also offers multiple real-life case examples to shed light further into the criminal mind. Rooted in the authors' personal experience in law enforcement and forensic psychology Profiling Violent Crime is an excellent text for courses in criminal justice, psychological profiling, and forensic psychology. It provides readers with real, intimate insight into criminal profiling, addressing its strengths and drawbacks, as well as offering a glimpse of where this crucial field has yet to go.Peter M. Klismet, Jr. holds a master's degree in criminal justice from California Lutheran University and another in public administration from the University of Southern California. He is a former agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and was one of the first formally-trained psychological profilers within the Agency. He served in law enforcement for over thirty years before joining the faculty at Pikes Peak Community College as an associate professor of criminal justice, going on to chair the department. He is now the founder and director of Criminal Profiling Associates, a law enforcement consulting company.Dr. Clarissa Cole received her master's and doctoral degrees in clinical psychology from Baylor University, and began her career by working at Napa State Hospital. More than a decade ago, she transferred to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Currently, she is a senior forensic psychologist in an experimental program--the first of its kind, in the United States--wherein she supervises violence-risk assessments for the Board of Parole Hearings. Along with specializing in violence risk, Dr. Cole co-hosts a weekly true-crime radio show, and maintains her own blog/opinion page.
