A career on the verge of collapse. A broken heart locked away. The last thing they need is strings.Jake Davenport is the best striker in the English Premier League. Or he was until his off-pitch behavior left his captain with a broken nose, and Jake suspended. Indefinitely. He flees to New York to lay low. But peace is fleeting when he's sharing an apartment with his free-spirited first love, who insists on friendship and shoves him outside his comfort zone every chance she gets. Harley O'Connell lives by a simple idea: Maximum fun. Minimum attachments. It's served her well over the last decade and she sees no reason to rethink it. Certainly not for Jake. She hasn't thought about their summer fling in years, and is unprepared for his shirtless presence in her kitchen, and her dreams. But admiring his well defined torso is one thing, letting her heart get involved is quite another. With the friendzone getting hotter by the day, Harley suggests the only thing she thinks will relieve the pressure. Sex. No strings and just the once, so there is no danger of anyone getting attached. It's a foolproof plan.
A riveting account of private art collectors' passion from Roman times to the present Whether it's the discovery of $1.6 billion in Nazi-looted art or the news that Syrian rebels are looting UNESCO archaeological sites to buy arms, art crime commands headlines. Erin Thompson, America's only professor of art crime, explores the dark history of looting, smuggling, and forgery that lies at the heart of many private art collections and many of the world's most renowned museums. Enlivened by fascinating personalities and scandalous events, Possession shows how collecting antiquities has been a way of creating identity, informed by a desire to annex the past while providing an illicit thrill along the way. Thompson's accounts of history's most infamous collectors—from the Roman Emperor Tiberius, who stole a life-sized nude Greek statue for his bedroom, to Queen Christina of Sweden, who habitually pilfered small antiquities from her fellow aristocrats, to Sir William Hamilton, who forced his mistress to enact poses from his collection of Greek vases—are as mesmerizing as they are revealing.

An urgent and fractious national debate over public monuments has erupted in America. Some people risk imprisonment to tear down long-ignored hunks of marble; others form armed patrols to defend them. Why do we care so much about statues? And who gets to decide which ones should stay up and which should come down? Erin L. Thompson, the country’s leading expert in the tangled aesthetic, legal, political and social issues involved in such battles brings much-needed clarity in Smashing Statues. She traces the turbulent history of American monuments and its abundant ironies, starting with the enslaved man who helped make the statue of Freedom atop the US Capitol and explores the surprising motivations behind such contemporary flashpoints as the toppling of a statue of Columbus at the Minnesota State Capitol. Written with great verve and thoroughly researched, Smashing Statues gives readers the context they need to consider the fundamental question: Whose voices must be heard and whose pain must remain private?

The New York Times best selling true story of an unlikely friendship forged between a woman and the man she incorrectly identified as her rapist and sent to prison for 11 years. Jennifer Thompson was raped at knifepoint by a man who broke into her apartment while she slept. She was able to escape, and eventually positively identified Ronald Cotton as her attacker. Ronald insisted that she was mistaken-- but Jennifer's positive identification was the compelling evidence that put him behind bars. After eleven years, Ronald was allowed to take a DNA test that proved his innocence. He was released, after serving more than a decade in prison for a crime he never committed. Two years later, Jennifer and Ronald met face to face-- and forged an unlikely friendship that changed both of their lives. With Picking Cotton, Jennifer and Ronald tell in their own words the harrowing details of their tragedy, and challenge our ideas of memory and judgment while demonstrating the profound nature of human grace and the healing power of forgiveness.

Jennifer vaknar av att någon sitter på golvet vid hennes säng. Ett par timmar senare sitter hon på en polisstation - ett våldtäktsoffer, men fast besluten att sätta fast den man som bröt sig in i hennes lägenhet och vände hennes tillvaro uppochner. Vid vittneskonfrontationen bestämmer hon sig snabbt: nummer fem är det. Ronald Cotton döms till livstid plus femtio år. Elva år senare visar DNA-tester sanningen: han är oskyldig. Kan det finnas förlåtelse och försoning? Sagt om boken: "... en engagerande berättelse om förlåtelse och om den osannolika vänskapen ..." - Pia Holmström, Bibliotekstjänst "... mångbottnad och svår att lägga ifrån sig. Den pekar på ömma punkter i USAs rättssystem och är samtidigt en gripande berättelse om förlåtelse, skuld, hopp och försoning. En sann historia men med nästan lika mycket nerv som en fiktiv deckare." IKON1931 "När jag väl hade börjat läsa kunde jag inte lägga boken ifrån mig. Det är en bok som man är tvungen att läsa, av så många anledningar." - Annika Östberg 1,8 miljoner såg dem i Skavlan!
