McEnerney C: Dear Love

Dear Love

A Book About Being Together

Dreamers and Dukes

"I have a duty to warn you: do not expect anything from Benjamin Scarsdale. And above all, do not lose your heart to him."

Lady Charlotte Aston was never taught how to fire a pistol. She was certainly never taught how to partake in a duel. And so, she never considered the possibility that she might find herself standing in a misty field at the crack of dawn, pistol in hand, opposite the king of London's underworld.

Mr. Benjamin Scarsdale is too familiar with death to be daunted by the prospect of standing twenty paces downfield from a flying bullet. But his challenger's capricious way of life has Benjamin itching to teach him a lesson-how quickly one can find themselves out of charity with fate.

However, when Benjamin's bullet lodges itself in the shoulder of Charlotte Aston and not her good-for-nothing brother, Benjamin finds he cannot walk away. After a rather unexpected proposition, Benjamin soon realises that Lady Charlotte Aston might just be the thing that unravels his entire empire.

With their worlds so far apart, will they be able to overcome the chasm that divides them and give their love a shot?

The first book in an unapologetically feminist Regency romance series, perfect for anyone whose favourite character in Bridgerton is Miss Penelope Featherington.

Skills for Scholars

Thoughtful advice on how to leave academia gracefully and build your best life in retirement Retirement is one of the most challenging transitions in an academic's career, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed by the changes that lie ahead. This how-to guide explains how to structure your last few years of employment so that you retire well and feel good about it. Drawing on engaging personal stories from across academia, it shares concrete tips for letting go of one key phase of life and embracing the opportunity to reinvent yourself in the next. On Retiring makes the case that you have the ultimate say in charting your path through retirement, aging, and whatever comes next after academia--and provides the guidance you need to do so. Susan Shaw describes the lessons she learned from her own retirement experience and those of her colleagues, highlighting what worked and what didn't while paying special attention to the things that make the academic workplace unique. She outlines the four-year retirement plan she developed for herself and suggest some steps colleges and universities can take to honor the service of faculty members and help them to stay connected after retirement. Along the way, Shaw examines some of the downsides of aging in the academy and discusses relevant differences in academic experiences, covering topics such as gender, race, and sexuality. Focusing on so much more than just financial planning, On Retiring empowers you with social, psychological, and philosophical tools to leave the academy on your own terms and thrive in retirement.

A Guide to Preparing for Life After Academia

On Retiring

For the first time available from Penguin Classics U.S., a new translation for one of the greatest writers of twentieth-century France A Penguin Classic Claudine lives in a large house with a rose-filled garden and a vegetable patch smelling of tomato leaves and apricots. Beyond her house is the village, where traveling performers stop for the night and wedding feasts take place under a bright summer moon. Inside her house are Mama, who loves animals, Papa, who lost his leg in the war, and a library full of forbidden and irresistible books . . . Based on Colette’s own early life, Claudine’s House is a rich and enchanting depiction of childhood, animals, flowers, trees, books, families, and love in late-nineteenth-century France.

Claudine's House

Dark Inheritance Trilogy

In the exhilarating second romantasy novel in Rebecca Robinson’s Dark Inheritance Trilogy, a fiery couple forced apart must navigate a deadly maze of politics and power to reunite across a continent at war. Torn from her husband Reid’s arms and dragged back to her homeland in chains, Vaasa is no longer a ruler, but a political pawn. Now under the control of Ozik—a cunning Zetyr witch with a stranglehold on her magic—she faces annulment, forced betrothal, and a kingdom that no longer feels like her own. As Ozik’s machinations aim to install himself as the true power behind the Asteryan throne, Vaasa is forced to take part in his game. Meanwhile, across the continent, Reid is done playing politics. But waging war is never simple, and a soldier’s fury cannot stand up against Icruria’s bureaucracy. With allies fading and time slipping away, Reid may have no choice but to infiltrate Asterya on his own to find the woman he loves and bring her home. As Vaasa’s magic begins to flare, she desperately seeks control, even if Ozik is the only one who can offer it. She then finds a cryptic final message from her mother about a precious missing necklace that might just be the answer to finally freeing her magic from Ozik. Yet when a ghost from Vaasa’s past reemerges among the suitors vying for her hand, escape might be within reach—but will it demand a betrayal that real love may not survive?

Maybe If I Changed The Font?

T. Clear tends a handful of hens on a small patch of earth-her mission of care in a troubled world. In these poems, she watches and works with love, grit, and humor, hauling water and straw like a Zen nun, gathering eggs, and daily resurrecting the hen house. With generosity and a poet's keen eye, she offers steadfast beauty against dissolution. Let your heart be lifted: read these poems.
-Kathryn Hunt, author of Seed Wheel and Long Way Through Ruin
We hear their "maternal clucks," see the girls "with their high-cluck strut." The last poem, "Reasons to Continue," is a gem: "This one egg / bedded in straw, / golden-rose / in the middle of winter. / These three hens / fluffing the nest." Reasons enough to live long and raise chickens.
-Phoebe Bosché, Managing Editor, Raven Chronicles Press

Das (fast) perfekte Fräulein und sein Butler

Nach einem gewöhnlichen Tag kommt es zu einem großen Schock, als Hinako plötzlich vor Itsuki zusammenbricht. Der Grund wird schnell klar: Es war Erschöpfung, die sich langsam aber sicher ansammelte, während sie Tag für Tag ein "perfektes Ich" spielen musste. 
 

 Auf ihren schlanken und schwachen Schultern ruht immerhin das Schicksal ihrer Familie und der Konohana Gruppe. Itsuki wird schnell klar, dass er sie auf jeden Fall unterstützen muss. Nicht nur als Butler, sondern auch, weil er sich um sie sorgt. Und so beginnt sich ihre Beziehung im Geheimen langsam aber sicher zu verändern ...
 

 Jedoch ruft auch die gleiche Arbeit wie zuvor: Das frühe Wecken, das Helfen beim Anziehen ihrer Kleidung, das geheime Essen von Eis in ihrem gigantischen Bad ... Und dazu kommt eine Einladung von Mirei Tennouji und Narika Miyakojima zu einer Lerngruppe ... Das Leben geht weiter, und für die beiden wartet nichts als Spaß und Freude.

Das (fast) perfekte Fräulein und sein Butler - Band 03

Why do organizations keep causing harm? And how do we cure toxic cultures? "A timely, rigorous, and deeply unsettling book."—Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Harvard Business School, and author of The Fearless Organization Not a week goes by with out yet another major organizational scandal: Open AI’s agents going rogue, Volkswagen’s emissions cheating, Boeing’s persistent safety issues, endemic police misconduct at the Oakland PD, and sexual abuse at yet another Roman Catholic Church. So why do do organizations keep causing these harms? Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond leadership and understand the deeper problems in the organization itself. To do so, Toxic uses dozens of in-depth case studies to connect the dots between various scandals and illustrate the deeper toxic patterns within organizations that lead to them. Each chapter recounts compelling stories of individuals caught within these toxic systems and addresses urgent societal challenges such as environmental degradation, the opioid epidemic, the harms of social media, and police abuse. Stories include:<ul><li>Facebook sought to grow from 1 billion to 5 billion users, leading it to enter Myanmar’s volatile ethnic context without having the knowledge or capacity to do proper content moderation, and thus contributing to genocide.</li><li>Don Parus, a BP engineer made an all-out effort to warn company leaders to invest in safety, just months before a major explosion killed fiteen and injured hundreds at its Texas City Refinery.</li><li>Keith Batt, a rookie at the Oakland Police Department, was made to witness, condone and participate in falsifying arrest records, planting evidence, and even in unsanctioned violence, all within two weeks on the job.</li></ul>Revealing, accessible, engaging, and unsettling, Toxic breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.

You Won't Forget Me

"Say Yes to the Dress meets Rosemary's Baby" (Margie Sarsfield) in this fresh, darkly funny horror novel in which a woman finally agrees to marry the man of her mother’s dreams. . . only to discover that wedding planning will eat you alive.&nbsp; If Ophelia Cohen learned one thing from her parents, it’s that getting married is a bad idea.&nbsp;But if she’s learning anything from her widowed mother’s dementia, it’s that dying alone is worse. So when she meets Luke—the man of her mother’s dreams—marriage suddenly doesn’t seem so crazy. But none of Ophelia’s obsessive scrolling on wedding forums can prepare her for the nightmare of planning her own. Why is her mother-in-law going crazy over every detail? Why is Luke’s family so eager to host the wedding in their vineyard’s ancient chapel? And what exactly will Ophelia have to sacrifice if she and her mother both hope to survive her special day? Shot through with wicked humor, pitch-black horror, and unexpected romance,&nbsp;Until Death&nbsp;is a deliciously dark and funny send-up of the wedding industrial complex—and a mother-daughter story unlike any you’ve read before. "Recognizes the Gothic horror inherent to planning a wedding and creates from it a painfully incisive and genuinely haunting fever dream.” —Kay Chronister, author of The Bog Wife&nbsp; “Completely unique, deeply unnerving, and deviously funny.” —Samantha Allen, author of Patricia Wants to Cuddle “Grabbed me like a creeping vine and wouldn't let go." —Kerry Cullen, author of House of Beth “Glistens with humor and horror. An electrifying and affecting debut.” —Samantha Hunt, author of The Seas

Until Death

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMESBESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MONEY: A USER'S GUIDEWe vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?So why - in the privacy of the therapy room - does money emerge as one of the biggest causes of tension for modern couples? Why is it cited as the major factor in family estrangement between parents, children, and siblings? Why is there a trend for the 'Bank of Mum and Dad' to go to court to retrieve loans they regret handing over?In MONEY: A USER'S GUIDE, Laura showed us how to save into a pension and understand investment. This time, she delves into the really complex stuff - a non-judgemental examination of whether there is a "right" way to share our money with those we love, and what everyone else does behind closed doors. A book that none of us want to admit we need.How do you decide who picks up the bill, or what goes in the joint account? Is your partner being generous or controlling? Is this house mine if your parents paid most of the deposit? How much are you prepared to spend to have a baby? When should we give money to our kids, our mum and dad, our siblings, our community? Should they pay us back? What does everyone else do? Why don't we know? And why does it feel so agonisingly awkward to ask?This is a book of personal finance advice told through real stories about other people's modern money and relationship dilemmas.Laura speaks to financial advisers and wealth managers, marriage counsellors and matchmakers, philosophers, religious leaders, funeral directors and divorce lawyers, to get to the bottom of the questions that can be much more fundamental to our wealth and happiness than where to put our savings.
