Take Me Two Times

By: Karen Kendall

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

New to the art recovery world, agent Gwen Davies takes on her very first “repo” assignment for Artemis, Inc.: restoring a solid gold, bejeweled Venetian mask to its rightful owner. But she’s mortified to learn that she’s stolen back a carefully engineered fake, and the disappointed client is a man she’d hoped to never see again. Quinn Lawson’s clean-cut corporate image belies his troubled, tattooed, bad-boy past. But when he’s held accountable for the missing mask, he’s forced to return to his shady ways and team up with Gwen in order to find the real one. Unfortunately the mask’s centuries-old curse is alive and well—and so is the stranger who’s prepared to kill for it. As their quest for the original mask takes Quinn and Gwen through the romantic, twisting canals of old Venice, danger forces them closer together than they ever expected to be—again.

Rebels: City of Indra

The Story of Lex and Livia

By: Kendall Jenner,Kylie Jenner,Elizabeth Killmond-Roman,Maya Sloan

Lex grew up in the orphanage, alone, and now is training to be a Special Op so she can finally destroy the rebels with her own hands. She needs no one. Livia lives miles above everything on a floating island in the city of Indra. She is training too, but for a life that she doesn't want. She wants to be free, to finally leave her floating island, and to run with her beloved horse until she can't run any longer. And then there's Kane--Lex's only friend. When she finds that Kane is in danger, she doesn't hesitate to leave her post and blast her way to the top of Indra to save him. She just needs to get one stubborn, unexpectedly clever airgirl to tell her where he is first.

The New Middle Kingdom

China and the Early American Romance of Free Trade

By: Kendall A. Johnson

Looking at the Far East and American ambition in China through the lens of literature. In the imaginations of early Americans, the Middle Kingdom was the wealthiest empire in the world. Its geographical distance did not deter commercial aspirations—rather, it inspired them. Starting in the late eighteenth century, merchants from New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Salem, Newport, and elsewhere cast speculative lines to China. The resulting fortunes shaped the cultural foundation of the early republic and funded westward frontier expansion. In The New Middle Kingdom, Kendall A. Johnson argues that—for the merchant princes who speculated in the global Far East, as well as the missionaries and diplomats who followed them—Manifest Destiny spurred more than the coalescence of the fractious regions into the continental Far West. It also promised a golden gateway to the Pacific Ocean through which the nation would realize its historical destiny as the world’s new Middle Kingdom of commerce. Examining the influential accounts of westerners at the center of early US cultural development abroad, Johnson conceives a romance of free trade with China as a quest narrative of national accomplishment in a global marketplace. Drawing from a richly descriptive cross-cultural archive, the book presents key moments in early relations among the twenty-first century’s superpowers through memoirs, biographies, epistolary journals, magazines, book reviews, fiction and poetry by Melville, Twain, Whitman, and others, travel narratives, and treaties, as well as maps and engraved illustrations. Paying close attention to figurative language, generic forms, and the social dynamics of print cultural production and circulation, Johnson shows how authors, editors, and printers appealed to multiple overlapping audiences in China, in the United States, and throughout the world. Spanning a full century, from the post–Revolutionary War era to the Gilded Age, The New Middle Kingdom is a vivid look at the Far East through Western eyes, one that highlights the importance of China in antebellum US culture.

Child Exploitation and Trafficking

Examining Global Enforcement and Supply Chain Challenges and U.S. Responses

By: Virginia M. Kendall,T. Markus Funk

Each year, more than two million children around the world fall victim to commercial sexual and labor exploitation. Put simply, the growing epidemic of child exploitation demands a coordinated response. In addition to compliance concerns raised by the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), UK Bribery Act, and other more familiar transnational anti-corruption laws, today’s companies must also respond to more novel legal requirements, such as those contained in the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act, Federal Acquisition Regulations on Trafficking in Persons in Federal Contracts, U.K. Modern Slavery Act of 2015, European Union’s Directive on Transparency and its amendments, and the proposed federal Business Transparency in Trafficking and Slavery Act and other laws. This Second Edition of Child Exploitation and Trafficking: Examining Global Enforcement and Supply Chain Challenges and U.S. Responses brings fresh, practical thinking to this oft-misunderstood area of the law, helping erase some of its counterproductive mythology. The book not only provides the first comprehensive, practical introduction to the history and present-day reality of child exploitation and supply chain issues, but it also traces the interconnected web of domestic and transnational federal laws and law enforcement efforts launched in response thereto. The Second Edition not only is updated to reflect the latest trends and other development presented by two of the premier experts concerning this constantly-evolving field, but it also contains new chapters examining areas such as special issues in the fight against human trafficking and the raft of landmark anti-trafficking laws that herald a new compliance reality for the globe’s business community. Written from the distinctive perspective of those who have spent their careers in the trenches investigating, prosecuting, and adjudicating these intricate, emotional cases, as well as those who are tasked with ensuring that products are free from the taint of child exploitation and force labor, the book is uniquely proscriptive, as well as descriptive, in the sense that it relies on real-world examples to serve up practical advice and reform proposals for those involved at all levels of this challenging area.
