Tomforde L: Caught up. Incastro vincente

Caught up. Incastro vincente

Per gli appassionati di hockey, nessuna rivalità può eguagliare quella tra Ilya Rozanov, capitano dei Boston Bears, e Shane Hollander, leader dei Montreal Voyageurs: talento e arroganza da una parte, disciplina e controllo dall'altra. Sul ghiaccio si affrontano senza esclusione di colpi, nemici dichiarati sotto gli occhi infuocati dei tifosi. Ma lontano dagli spalti e dai riflettori, questa contrapposizione prende una piega pericolosamente diversa. Da anni, infatti, gli incontri segreti che li vedono coinvolti sono attraversati da un'intensità che non ha nulla a che vedere con l'odio... e che li spinge verso un confine impossibile da ignorare. Quando i sentimenti si fanno più profondi e la doppia vita che hanno costruito comincia a stare stretta, il segreto di Ilya e Shane inizia a vacillare. Reputazione, carriera, futuro: tutto è in bilico, e il prezzo da pagare per ciò che li unisce potrebbe essere molto più alto di quanto entrambi siano pronti ad accettare.

Heated rivalry. Ediz. italiana

Sophie Mitchell è cresciuta seguendo le regole dettate da suo padre, il team manager della scuderia Bandini di Formula 1, e ora è stanca di comportarsi da brava ragazza, degli insipidi fidanzati del college, e di studiare materie scelte per compiacere il padre. Complice qualche bicchiere di troppo, Sophie si ritrova a stilare una lista di avventure e prime volte da vivere, qualcuna più piccante delle altre. Il primo passo sarà convincere il papà a portarla con sè per l'itinerario del Mondiale di Formula 1, poi non resterà che iniziare a spuntare ogni casella della lista... magari con l'aiuto di un pilota dagli occhi color ghiaccio e il sorriso malizioso. Liam Zander, pilota di punta della scuderia McCoy, è un re delle piste, con il mondo ai suoi piedi. Quando una tragedia lo costringe a mettere tutto in discussione, la sua vita privata inizia a deragliare e la sua pessima reputazione finisce per incidere sulla sua carriera. Con il posto in scuderia a rischio, Liam deve mettere un freno alla sua vita da libertino: è il momento peggiore in assoluto per incontrare una ragazza che incarna tutte le sue fantasie. Sophie, giovane, vivace e bellissima, rappresenta la scuderia rivale e Liam deve starle alla larga a tutti i costi. Nonostante tutto, il pilota è deciso ad aiutarla a vivere tutte le esperienze della lista, soprattutto quelle più spicy, ma come fare se Sophie lo ha relegato al ruolo di amico? Sophie, infatti, non ha intenzione di diventare l'ennesima tacca sulla cintura di un pilota dalla reputazione di Liam. Eppure lui è intelligente, spiritoso e dal fascino magnetico, nasconde molto di più del dongiovanni che lascia trasparire. Essere amici è tutto ciò che Sophie può concedere al suo cuore, perché trascorrere del tempo insieme è naturale quanto respirare. Tenere a bada la chimica esplosiva tra Sophie e Liam diventa ogni giorno più difficile e rischioso, perché in ballo non c'è solo la carriera di Liam e il futuro della loro amicizia, ma due cuori che battono all'unisono... e che rischiano di frantumarsi alla velocità di una monoposto di Formula 1.

Collided. Impatto

Ryan vive di regole e disciplina. Indy vive di sogni ed emozioni. Fingersi una coppia? L'unica mossa giusta. Indigo Ivers, l'estroversa e romantica assistente di volo della squadra di hockey di Chicago, non se la passa bene: ha scoperto che il suo fidanzato l'ha tradita, è rimasta senza casa e vede allontanarsi il sogno di una famiglia tutta sua. Quando la sua migliore amica Stevie le propone di trasferirsi nella stanza degli ospiti del fratello, Indy però è titubante. Ryan è una superstar dell'NBA e il loro primo incontro è stato decisamente umiliante! Non è ciò che le serve per curare i sintomi del cuore infranto. Ryan Shay, miglior playmaker della lega di basket di tutto il Paese, è osannato da tutta la Città del Vento eppure inizia ad avvertire il peso di avere il destino della squadra dei Chicago Devils sulle spalle. Ormai, come un robot, si dedica solo e unicamente al basket, finendo per trascurare le amicizie e la vita privata e per mettere a rischio la sua posizione di capitano, perché il manager della squadra lo considera troppo distaccato per essere un buon leader. Come farà a mantenere la concentrazione con la coinquilina che ora sua sorella gli ha chiesto di ospitare? Indy Ivers piange in continuazione, è disordinata, e ama la compagnia quanto lui la solitudine. La soluzione? Per trarre il meglio dalla convivenza, Indy e Ryan decidono di fingere di essere fidanzati! Indy, sensibile e socievole, è la ragazza giusta per convincere il proprietario dei Devils che Ryan non è solo un automa solitario dedito al basket, mentre Ryan, con il suo carisma e il suo fascino, è la conquista perfetta che Indy può sbandierare in faccia al suo ex. Il problema? Fingere di avere una relazione si rivela troppo facile e diventa quasi impossibile distinguere la recita dalla realtà. Indy e Ryan, però, rimangono due opposti destinati ad attrarsi e respingersi contemporaneamente. Un campione come Ryan dovrà sfoderare tutte le sue armi per conquistare il vero amore.

The right move. Conquista da campione

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice "Unspools with gorgeous precision. The heart of Hollow Spaces lies in the way children repeat their parents’ mistakes—and the not-so-casual racism in privileged spaces." —The New York Times Book Review The only Asian American partner at a prestigious law firm sees his professional and personal life demolished when he is put on trial for murder. Three decades later, his children reunite to uncover the truth and try to salvage what remains of their family. Thirty years ago, John Lo was acquitted of the murder of an employee he was having an affair with. The repercussions of that long-ago event still haunt his adult children. Brennan, a lawyer following in her father’s footsteps in more ways than one, has always maintained that the trial got it right. Hunter, a disgruntled war correspondent whose similarities to his father run more than skin-deep, believes their father got away with murder. Their opposing convictions have pushed them apart. Now, spurred by their mother’s failing health, the estranged siblings decide to reconcile their differences by reinvestigating the murder to come to a definitive conclusion. Told in a dual timeline that moves between John’s perspective thirty years prior and Brennan and Hunter’s present-day investigation, Hollow Spaces is a moving portrait of a flawed man’s shocking fall from grace and a gripping exploration of race in corporate America, filial loyalty, ambition, and the fallout of a sensational trial for those caught in its wake.

An engaging look at the ways economic thinking can help us understand how sports work both on and off the field &nbsp; “Mr. Oyer writes clearly and ranges across all sorts of sports as well as across the globe, introducing fascinating observations.”—Henry D. Fetter, Wall Street Journal &nbsp; Are ticket scalpers good for teams? Should parents push their kids to excel at sports? Why do Koreans dominate women’s golf, while Kenyans and Ethiopians dominate marathon racing? Why would Michael Jordan, the greatest player in basketball, pass to Steve Kerr for the game-winning shot? &nbsp; Paul Oyer shows the many ways economics permeates the world of sports. His topics range from the business of sport to how great athletes use economic thinking to outsmart their opponents to why the world’s greatest sports powerhouse (at least per capita) is not America or China but the principality of Liechtenstein. Economics explains why some sports cannot stop the use of performance-enhancing drugs while others can, why hundred-million-dollar player contracts are guaranteed in baseball but not in football, how one man was able to set the world of sports betting on its ear—and why it will probably never happen again. This book is an entertaining guide to how a bit of economics can make you a better athlete and a more informed fan.

An Economist Goes to the Game

In this outrageous and deeply serious satire, two star indoor volleyball players juggle unspoken jealousies in their off-court romance ahead of their rival teams’ first rematch in a year Six is 6′7″, scheming to rejoin the starting lineup, and barely checks her phone. Green is 6′1″, always building her brand, and secretly jealous of her more famous girlfriend. Together, they’re going where no Asian American trans woman has gone before: the men’s pro indoor volleyball league. Our hot girls with balls just thought playing with the boys would spare them some controversy . . . haha. In between their rival teams’ away games across the globe, Six and Green stay connected on SpaceTime and selflessly broadcast their romance to fans on their weekly Instagraph live show. After a long season, they’ll finally reunite for the championship tournament, the first to accommodate in-person fans since the COVIS pandemic struck the world a year ago. Just as they enter an airtight bro bubble of the world’s best, they’re faced with a crisis that demands an indisputably humiliating task: make a public statement online. Can Green stock up enough clout for her post-ball future? Can Six girlboss her team’s seniority politics? Can they both take a time-out to just grieve? Their rabid fans and horny haters await their next move. We’re all just desperate for a whiff of the sweaty feminine energy that makes that ball thwack with such spectacular force.

Hot Girls with Balls

Too Smart to be an Umpire!

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lynn Painter comes an utterly irresistible romantic comedy about a football star and his team’s die-hard fan who find themselves entangled in a PR stunt that only one of them knows is fake. Duffy Distefano loves three things: her dad, the family cat, and Minneapolis Coyote football. So after she gets booed out of a game and becomes the internet’s villain following an awful encounter with the team’s beloved mascot, she is disgruntled, to put it mildly. Eager to clear the air, Duffy agrees to an interview on a hit morning show. She doesn’t expect a co-guest to join her—especially not the Coyotes’ star tight end. When MVP Connor Cunningham gets tasked with damage control to help his team out of a PR nightmare, he finds himself in a highly amusing verbal sparring match with a recently wronged fan on live TV. The interview instantly goes viral, and the public is obsessed with them. Despite his distaste for PR stunts, a strong push from the Coyotes’ PR team to ride the wave results in Connor asking Duffy out. But he quickly discovers being with Duffy is much easier than he anticipated, and somehow it doesn’t feel fake to him. This secret can only blow up, but all he knows is that if he messes things up with Duffy, it’ll be the greatest fumble of his life. Oozing with chemistry that feels like fireworks and banter that makes you swoon, Lynn Painter delivers her signature blend of heart and humor in this love story that you won’t soon forget.

First and Forever

An in-depth exploration of the network of agencies involved in policing child pornography—and what the future of security and care looks like. Facing the Child investigates the technocratic expertise in the policing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Mitali Thakor argues that CSAM has come to be framed as primarily a digital problem, to be resolved digitally, thereby unleashing a new form of corporatized policing helmed by global technology companies. Ambitious in scope, this multi-sited global ethnography draws on four years of original fieldwork and interviews with technology companies in the US, the United Nations in Bangkok, Thai and Dutch NGOs, and law enforcement in the US and the Netherlands. The book argues that in the 2010s, a network of technology companies, NGOs, and law enforcement created the notion of a “virtual child” in need of techno-solutionist saving to justify a vast expansion of surveillance technologies. The book examines how pervasive myths of child abuse online were exploited to serve the aims of seemingly disparate groups, from Christian neo-abolitionists to NGOs conducting virtual sting operations. It is this complex relationship between the care and securitization needed to fix the child victim as an object of data, concern, and rescue that the book explores.

Facing the Child

A celebration of the timeless beauty of soccer—its greatest and most stylish players, from past heroes to today’s stars, along with its hallowed grounds. Football, or soccer as it’s known in the US, has been around for more than two hundred years and in some ways remains largely unchanged. It is the timelessness of the game that is celebrated in This Is Football. Lavishly illustrated with striking images of on-field action as well as candid dressing-room moments taken by some of the most respected photographers in sport, the book serves as both a primer and a nostalgic love letter to the beauty of the game. Readers will venture on a journey to South America, where football became beautiful in the 1960s, and to Spain, where tiki-taka revolutionised the game in the 1980s. From Dennis Bergkamp’s sublime control and finish against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup to Sergio Agüero’s last-minute strike of the 2011/12 season—winning Manchester City their first Premier League title, This Is Football captures many of the game’s most extraordinary events and players. Organised by player position, each chapter highlights some of the biggest names to have graced the pitch, from Pelé to David Beckham and Mia Hamm to Marta, as well as historic moments they helped create. Featuring phenomenal goals, inspired midfield play, heroic defending, and eye-catchingly colourful goalkeeping, this book illustrates why soccer is the most popular sport in the world and why it is truly loved by so many.
