Date with Destiny
Welcome to Destiny Dunes where the only thing hotter than the Florida sun is the romance between this resort's employees. Each book in this steamy series focuses on your favorite romance tropes. Once you enter the gates of Destiny Dunes, you'll never want to leave! Down for Her: From champagne to salt water… Kylie McBride leaves her two-timing ex-fiancé along with a life of luxury for independence and a little self-respect…well, if you can call a job as pool girl respectful. The resort offers employee residence, which she desperately needs. But a housing screw-up has her thrown together with the hunky but helpful Brett. She just needs to keep the Florida panhandle’s biggest player out of her heart. Up for Seconds: He won’t get in her head again… Tori Jacobs has spent the past year moving on from her intense relationship with Jack Massey, but now he’s trying to win her back. His jealousy ruined them. They’re too different, anyway. He’s a stuffy, number-cruncher from a wealthy family, and she’s a hot mess from a place that would make his family clutch their pearls. But Jack has never failed at anything in his life except for his relationship with her, and he doesn’t intend to lose at that again. Coming Around: Two fake dates, one growing connection… Inventing a fake boyfriend isn’t the smartest thing Bailey’s ever done. But what choice did she have after her relentless family kept hounding her with questions about her single status? When her good buddy Cohen at the resort where she works proposes they help each other out—Bailey comes with him to his high school reunion if he goes with her to her cousin’s wedding—Bailey’s dilemma is solved. The problem is she’s finding herself growing more attracted to her co-worker by the date.
The Post-Racial Mystique
Despite claims from pundits and politicians that we now live in a post-racial America, people seem to keep finding ways to talk about race—from celebrations of the inauguration of the first Black president to resurgent debates about police profiling, race and racism remain salient features of our world. When faced with fervent anti-immigration sentiments, record incarceration rates of Blacks and Latinos, and deepening socio-economic disparities, a new question has erupted in the last decade: What does being post-racial mean? The Post-Racial Mystique explores how a variety of media—the news, network television, and online, independent media—debate, define and deploy the term “post-racial” in their representations of American politics and society. Using examples from both mainstream and niche media—from prime-time television series to specialty Christian media and audience interactions on social media—Catherine Squires draws upon a variety of disciplines including communication studies, sociology, political science, and cultural studies in order to understand emergent strategies for framing post-racial America. She reveals the ways in which media texts cast U.S. history, re-imagine interpersonal relationships, employ statistics, and inventively redeploy other identity categories in a quest to formulate different ways of responding to race.
Alvin Ailey
Dance should be "art and entertainment," said Alvin Ailey, creative genius behind the world-famous Alvin Ailey Dance Theater company. Colorful, energetic, and theatrical, Ailey's work appeals to people from all walks of life -- and his dances celebrate the richness of African-American history and culture. The stars did not always shine on Ailey, who was born into a world of poverty and racism. Despite the twists and turns of his life, Ailey never lost sight of his dream. In the years since Ailey's death, his dance company has continued to showcase his unique vision. For this real-life success story, author Barbara C. Cruz paints an animated, candid portrait of one of the most popular and acclaimed dancers and choreographers in the world. Book jacket.
