Stranger in Cold Creek

By: Paula Graves

In this romantic suspense, a secret agent blows his cover to rescue a small town Texas cop, then joins forces with her to take down a killer. It wasn’t an accident—it was an ambush. And the minute John Blake rescues Deputy Miranda Duncan from a murder attempt, the Gates undercover operative is committed to keeping her safe. But he’s here in Texas to lie low, not to seduce a tough, resourceful cop. If only he can discover who’s after her and whether or not he is the true target. As Blake and Miranda investigate, their closeness deepens with each secret shared . . . until both fall into an unsuspected killer’s trap. Blake’s temporary stay in Cold Creek may become all too permanent. But if they survive, Blake knows he can’t walk away from the woman who upended his life.

Children and Youth During the Gilded Age and Progressive Era

By: James Marten,Paula S Fass

In the decades after the Civil War, urbanization, industrialization, and immigration marked the start of the Gilded Age, a period of rapid economic growth but also social upheaval. Reformers responded to the social and economic chaos with a “search for order,” as famously described by historian Robert Wiebe. Most reformers agreed that one of the nation’s top priorities should be its children and youth, who, they believed, suffered more from the disorder plaguing the rapidly growing nation than any other group. Children and Youth during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era explores both nineteenth century conditions that led Progressives to their search for order and some of the solutions applied to children and youth in the context of that search. Edited by renowned scholar of children’s history James Marten, the collection of eleven essays offers case studies relevant to educational reform, child labor laws, underage marriage, and recreation for children, among others. Including important primary documents produced by children themselves, the essays in this volume foreground the role that youth played in exerting agency over their own lives and in contesting the policies that sought to protect and control them.

Hot, Hard and Impossible Cowboys

By: Megan Crane,Amy Andrews,Paula Altenburg,Sarah Mayberry,Jeannie Watt,Leah Vale

Do you like your cowboys hot, hard and ready to ride? There’s a code these cowboys live by, and they’re tough, uncompromising, taciturn and guarded. They’re also impossibly loyal, honorable, passionate, and their love—once bestowed—is everlasting. We wouldn’t have them any other way! Most Dangerous Cowboy by Megan Crane There’s only one thing more dangerous than riding bulls—and that’s love. And cowboy Cody’s too busy pursuing whiskey, winning, women, and glory to even consider it. Until pretty little Skylar Grey decides to impersonate a buckle bunny and lights a fire in his heart. What is love? All Cody knows is that he’s going down hard. A Doctor For The Cowboy by Amy Andrews Cocky Aussie bull rider Troy has been busted down to the pro-circuit. He needs wins to get him back into the big league, but an injury forces him off the circuit and into the arms of gorgeous doctor Joss. She patches him up, tells him it’s time to stop riding, and somehow he winds up playing father figure to her wayward teenage son. Will passion, purpose and love tempt this playboy cowboy to finally settle down? The Cowboy’s Redemption by Paula Altenberg She’s done with cowboys for good… Barrel racer Dana’s last romance with a rodeo cowboy ended in tragedy—and was definitely not the fairy tale love story rodeo fans chose to see. Dana needs a fresh start, a new horse, a few wins, and emphatically no steamy encounters with her late fiancé’s best friend! The Rebel and The Cowboy by Sarah Mayberry He’s got a lean, hard body and the heart of a poet… Sparks fly when born-and-bred cowboy Casey meets urban artist Eva, but he’ll never turn away from his responsibilities to his family and the ranch. There’ll be no chasing music-making dreams for him, even if Eva takes his heart with her when she leaves… Her Cowboy Baby Daddy by Jeannie Watt When cowboy Spence returns home to the Keller ranch to negotiate water rights with the neighboring rancher, gorgeous Hayley’s counteroffer leaves him speechless. Spence is definitely up for a no-strings affair with Hayley, but father a child and walk away? Never. The Cowboy Doctor by Leah Vale She lives for the thrill. He’s tasked with keeping her safe… Can rodeo doctor Drew keep daredevil bucking bronc rider Peyton safe? Or is it a case of opposites attract for the cowgirl and the rodeo doctor, and someone’s bound to get hurt?

And Die in the West

The Story of the O.K. Corral Gunfight

By: Paula Mitchell Marks

The gunfight at the O.K. Corral has excited the imaginations of Western enthusiasts ever since that chilly October afternoon in 1881 when Doc Holliday and the three fighting Earps strode along a Tombstone, Arizona, street to confront the Clanton and McLaury brothers. When they met, Billy Clanton and the two McLaurys were shot to death; the popular image of the Wild West was reinforced; and fuel was provided for countless arguments over the characters, motives, and actions of those involved. And Die in the West presents the first fully detailed, objective narrative of the celebrated gunfight, of the tensions leading up to it, and the bitter, bloody events that followed. Paula Mitchell Marks places the events surrounding the gunfight against a larger backdrop of a booming Tombstone and the fluid, frontier environment of greed, factions and violence. In the process, Marks strips away many of the myths associated with the famous gunfight and of the West in general.

Rangatira

By: Paula Morris

Based on a true story Auckland, June 1886. Ngati Wai chief Paratene Te Manu spends long sessions, over three long days, having his portrait painted by the Bohemian painter Gottfried Lindauer. Hearing of Lindauer's planned trip to England reminds him of his own journey there, twenty years earlier, with a party of northern rangatira. As he sits for Lindauer, Paratene retreats deeper and deeper into the past, from the triumphs in London and their meetings with royalty to the disintegration of the visit into poverty, mistrust, and humiliation. 'Morris' research is both thorough and thoughtful . . . With its light, often wry tone, much of the story-telling is amusing, albeit desperately poignant.' —Margie Thomson, Canvas 'An extraordinary literary achievement and probably the best of recent New Zealand historical novels.' —Nicholas Reid, New Zealand Books '[An] adroitly told historical novel . . . Paratene – old, forgetful but wise and generous in his appraisals – is our lens, and he's a triumph of characterisation, his voice genial and flawlessly authentic.' —John McCrystal, New Zealand Listener Also available as an eBook

Women in the Studio

Creativity, Control and Gender in Popular Music Sound Production

By: Paula Wolfe

The field of popular music production is overwhelmingly male dominated. Here, Paula Wolfe discusses gendered notions of creativity and examines the significant under-representation of women in studio production. Wolfe brings an invaluable perspective as both a working artist-producer and as a scholar, thereby offering a new body of research based on interviews and first-hand observation. Wolfe demonstrates that patriarchal frameworks continue to form the backbone of the music industry establishment but that women’s work in the creation and control of sound presents a potent challenge to gender stereotyping, marginalisation and containment of women’s achievements that is still in evidence in music marketing practices and media representation in the digital era.

Dominion over Palm and Pine

A History of Canadian Aspirations in the British Caribbean

By: Paula Hastings

From the expansionist fervour of the late nineteenth century through both world wars and the Cold War, a varied and ever-changing group of dreamers campaigned for Canada’s union with the British Caribbean colonies. They hoped to diversify Canada’s climate and agricultural capabilities, spur economic development, boost the nation’s autonomy and stature in the Empire-Commonwealth and the world, temper American power, and secure a tourist paradise. Dominion over Palm and Pine traces the transnational ebb and flow of these union campaigns, situating them in the global history of colonialism and white supremacy, Black activism, and decolonization. Paula Hastings centres the British Caribbean in historical narratives that rarely take account of the region, challenging us to rethink the history of Canadian expansionism and its entangled relationship with nation building, the struggle for sovereignty at home and abroad, and Canada’s evolving role and reputation on the world stage. Widely conceived, the brokers of Canada’s international histories included a multiplicity of actors who shaped the evolving contours and outcomes of the debate: Canadian legislators, civil servants, businessmen, and social justice activists; Caribbean migrants, intellectuals, and anti-colonial nationalists; and British colonial officials, absentee planters, and politicians. Canada’s lack of an overseas empire is often vaunted as a national characteristic that sets Canada apart from the United States and the old European powers. In excavating the dogged resilience of Canadian designs on the Caribbean, Dominion over Palm and Pine unsettles notions of Canadian goodness that rest on this self-righteous observation.

Perdita

The Literary, Theatrical, Scandalous Life of Mary Robinson

By: Paula Byrne

This thoroughly engaging and richly researched book presents a compelling portrait of Mary Robinson–darling of the London stage, mistress to the most powerful men in England, feminist thinker, and bestselling author, described by Samuel Taylor Coleridge as “a woman of undoubted genius.” One of the most flamboyant free spirits of the late eighteenth century, Mary Robinson led a life that was marked by reversals of fortune. After being abandoned by her merchant father, who left England to establish a fishery among the Canadian Eskimos, Mary was married, at age fifteen, to Thomas Robinson. His dissipation landed the couple and their baby in debtors’ prison, where Mary wrote her first book of poetry, gaining her the patronage of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. On her release, Mary rose to become one of the London theater’s most alluring actresses, famously playing Perdita in The Winter’s Tale for a rapt audience that included the Prince of Wales, who fell madly in love with her. Never one to pass up an opportunity, she later used his ardent and numerous love letters as blackmail. After being struck down by paralysis, apparently following a miscarriage, she remade herself yet again, this time as a popular writer who was also admired by the leading intellectuals of the day. Filled with triumph and despair, and then triumph again, the amazing, multifaceted life of “Perdita” is marvelously captured in this stunning biography.

Labour Women in Power

Cabinet Ministers in the Twentieth Century

By: Paula Bartley

This book examines the political lives and contributions of Margaret Bondfield, Ellen Wilkinson, Barbara Castle, Judith Hart and Shirley Williams, the only five women to achieve Cabinet rank in a Labour Government from the party’s creation until Blair became Prime Minister. Paula Bartley brings together newly discovered archival material and published work to provide a survey of these women, all of whom managed to make a mark out of all proportion to their numbers. Charting their ideas, characters, and formative influences, Bartley provides an account of their rise to power, analysing their contribution to policy making, and assessing their significance and reputation. She shows that these women were not a homogeneous group, but came from diverse family backgrounds, entered politics in their own discrete way, and rose to power at different times. Some were more successful than others, but despite their diversity these women shared one thing in common: they all functioned in a male world.

The Scottish Electorate

The 1997 General Election and Beyond

By: A. Brown,D. McCrone,L. Paterson,Paula Surridge

The book draws on original academic research to discuss the outcome of the 1997 general election in Scotland and the likely future shape of Scotland's politics. It offers the most rigorous and up-to-date assessment of Scottish electoral politics that is available, setting the 1997 Scottish result in a comparative context with the rest of Britain, and in a context of changing political attitudes and behaviour since the 1970s. The 1997 General Election ranks alongside 1945 and 1979 as a turning point in the post-war United Kingdom. The overwhelming endorsement of a Scottish Parliament in the September 1997 referendum will have dramatic implications for Scottish and British politics. This book enhances understanding of these developments and analyzes the relationship between national identity and the policy agenda as Scotland moves towards a new constitutional future.
