Vicente

By: Melissa Schroeder

I'm the last Santini standing. All my brothers have lost their damned minds and fallen for the Santini Curse. That's one thing I don't have to worry about. I already met the love of my life but she was my best friend's girl. Julianna is my dream girl and no woman has even come close to her in comparison. Only now she's free and we are finally living in the same place. But she says I'm a reminder of her past, and that is some place she doesn't want to go. I can't blame her. That old buddy of mine was an abusive jerk--something I never knew. But with one kiss, I melt her resistance, and soon, I talk her into more than one kiss. She tells me she doesn't believe in happily ever after anymore, but I'm determined to prove to Jules I can give it to her. Because I don't mind being the last man standing as long as I'm HER man.

Marco

By: Melissa Schroeder

In the loud Santini family, I've always been known as the quiet one. It works well with being a SEAL. Living in Hawaii is a dream come true, and the fantastic rental I get is amazing. My only problem is my infatuation with my landlady Alana Kailikea. Gorgeous and independent, Alana is a happy woman, but every now and then, I see shadows in behind her smiles. I live a difficult life, one where I I fight my attraction until my idiot brothers show up for a visit, and one little flirtation from my older brother has me taking that chance. From our first kiss, I know she's the one for me. Only Alana isn't sure she believes we can work. We might heat up the seats, and we can't keep our hands off each other, but she resists the idea of forever. So, I have not choice but to pull out all the stops to woo the love of my life. Thankfully being raised a Santini has taught me not to give up without a fight and I won't walk away until she knows we were made for each other.

Dad Bod Rockstar

By: Melissa Schroeder

A road-weary rockstar finds love with a small town baker, but will his fame destroy the one woman he has ever loved? Niall A lot of people look at my life and think I have it all. Multiple platinum records, more money than I know what to do with, and a seemingly never ending string of women. Everyone thinks they know me, but very few do. I’m ready to settle down, but most women see the rockstar and not the man. Until Blossom. She’s way too young for me, and so innocent I’m embarrassed by my infatuation. But the moment I meet her, I’m in love. I only have a couple days with her before I have to be back on the road, so I fill them with as much romance as I can and I promise to get back to her. Blossom I’ve led a sheltered life. All I have ever wanted was to be a baker. I spent my early twenties building my reputation, and the past two years running my own small town bakery. I’m over the moon at my success, still there has been something missing. Then in walks Niall Holden, my celebrity crush. He loves my baking, and insists on taking me to dinner. We spend two glorious nights together because he has to be back on the road. He promises he will return as soon as his tour is done. I want to believe in happily ever after, but stories in the tabloids make me realize I’m not cut out for this kind of relationship. Only Niall doesn’t agree, and when he shows up in my small town again, he insists that I am the woman for him. That may be true, but does he just want me…or will he want us? This story is an age gap, small town, surprise baby romance set in Melissa Schroeder’s Instalove World. It includes a grumpy but totally sweet rockstar, an adorkable baker with a quirky way of looking at the world, cupcakes and cookies, and the antics of the Patton brothers and their wives from The Dominon Rockstar Romance series. There is no cheating, an HEA, and can be read as a stand-alone.

Gianni

By: Melissa Schroeder

Growing up as the youngest of four brothers wasn't always easy, but it taught me life skills, like how to flirt. Okay, that's not really a life skill, but it is one of the things I do best. I rarely have a problem charming women. That is until I run into Kianna Jones. She's wary of a relationship, or even dating, but somehow I convince her to spend my last day stateside with me. While I'm gone, we spark up a correspondence, and by the time I return, I'm pretty sure I've fallen in love. Kianna doesn't believe in love and thinks I'm too young for her. She'll agree to an affair, but according to her, there can't be anything beyond that. She says there's no way a man like me would want a woman like her. I'm not happy with her assumptions, but I'm not ready to give up. If there is one thing a Santini understands is that nothing worth fighting for comes easily--and I'm prepared to launch the fight of my life.

Becoming Melungeon

Making an Ethnic Identity in the Appalachian South

By: Melissa Schrift

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Becoming Melungeon

Making an Ethnic Identity in the Appalachian South

By: Melissa Schrift

Appalachian legend describes a mysterious, multiethnic population of exotic, dark-skinned rogues called Melungeons who rejected the outside world and lived in the remote, rugged mountains in the farthest corner of northeast Tennessee. The allegedly unknown origins of these Melungeons are part of what drove this legend and generated myriad exotic origin theories. Though nobody self-identified as Melungeon before the 1960s, by the 1990s "Melungeonness" had become a full-fledged cultural phenomenon, resulting in a zealous online community and annual meetings where self-identified Melungeons gathered to discuss shared genealogy and history. Although today Melungeons are commonly identified as the descendants of underclass whites, freed African Americans, and Native Americans, this ethnic identity is still largely a social construction based on local tradition, myth, and media. In Becoming Melungeon, Melissa Schrift examines the ways in which the Melungeon ethnic identity has been socially constructed over time by various regional and national media, plays, and other forms of popular culture. Schrift explores how the social construction of this legend evolved into a fervent movement of a self-identified ethnicity in the 1990s. This illuminating and insightful work examines the shifting social constructions of race, ethnicity, and identity both in the local context of the Melungeons and more broadly in an attempt to understand the formation of ethnic groups and identity in the modern world.

Last Love

By: Melissa Schroeder

Welcome back to Juniper Springs, home of gay ducks and the LOLS. Okay, so here's the thing. I'm Liv, the normal O'Bryan sister. I have two kids I'm raising on my own, and I even have what people think is a boring job. Going to Vegas with my insane sisters is out of character for me, but I take that chance because of my new job. And let's face it. I lost my husband over five years ago and I just haven't...well...there's been no one. But an altercation with some drunken idiots has me almost falling on my butt, until a set of very strong hands save me. Mason Spencer is younger, beyond sexy, and interested in me. So, I give in for one night. Can't hurt, right? He goes above and beyond my wildest expectations. The next morning, I say thank you and head back to my life. Until I move in next door to him, and my insane dog Houdini keeps showing up on his doorstep so I can't even avoid him. Worse, Mason tells me he wants more than that one night stand. Worser, he seems to fit right in with my kids and me and I discover that being with him makes me happier than I've been in years. But remember, I'm the normal sister, and there's nothing normal about an older woman with two kids snatching up a young man like Mason. Of course, I've realized that there is nothing normal about the town, so maybe I would fit right in. Author Note: Yep, it's that time again to jump back into Juniper Springs. Home of Little Old Ladies, the Juniper Springs Express, and a seriously younger man with his mind set on his sexy neighbor. There's a rescue dog with a mohawk who lives up to his name, and a meddling younger sister determined to help Liv find love. This book was included in the Rescued Anthology, but it has been expanded to include more scenes and extensively edited.

A vigorous debate on ‘land grabbing’ already highlights instances where ‘green’ credentials are called upon to justify appropriations of land for food or fuel. Yet in other cases, environmental green agendas are the core drivers and goals of grabs. Green grabs may be drivn by biodiversity conservation, biocarbon sequestration, biofuels, ecosystem services or ecotourism, for example. In some cases theyse agendas involve the wholesale alienation of land, and in others the restructuring of rules and authority in the access, use and management of resources that may have profoundly alienating effects. Green grabbing builds on well-known histories of colonial and neo-colonial resource alienation in the name of the environment. Yet it involves novel forms of valuation, commodification and markets for pieces and aspects of nature, and an extraordinary new range of actors and alliances. This book draws together seventeen original cases from African, Asian and Latin American settings to ask: To what extent and in what ways do ‘green grabs’ constitute new forms of appropriation of nature? What political and discursive dynamics underpin ‘green grabs’? How and when do appropriations on the ground emerge out of circulations of green capital? What are the implications for ecologies, landscapes and livelihoods? Who is gaining and who is losing? How are agrarian social relations, rights and authority being restructured, and in whose interests? This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Peasant Studies.
