A False Start
He kissed his best friend's little sister, and the world stood still. That night, they were two perfect strangers: the town's grumpy recluse and a gorgeous girl in the back of a bar. Until they weren't. Because Nadia Dalca isn't just some girl. She's the one girl Griffin Sinclaire can't have. Fourteen years younger than him and completely off-limits. After their forbidden kiss, Griffin's plan is to stay away, but the universe keeps pushing them together. It's like some sort of cosmic joke, to give him a taste of something so electric--so real--something that breathed life back into him. Because he can look, but he can't touch her again. But with her sinful curves, her lighthearted laugher, and her secret wild side, Griffin's addicted to every last bit of her. And when she turns those sultry eyes on him--the ones so full of longing, so free of judgment? Well, he's always considered himself a strong man, but for her, he's weak. To give in to their connection would be a betrayal.
A False Start
A small-town brother's best friend romance from the bestselling author of Flawless and Wild Love. I kissed my best friend's little sister, and the world stood still. That night we were two perfect strangers, the town's grumpy recluse and a gorgeous girl in the back of a bar. Until we weren't. Because Nadia Dalca isn't just some girl, she's the girl I can't have. Fourteen years younger than me and completely off-limits. My plan is to stay away, but the universe keeps pushing us together.

False
An illuminating exploration of the psychology of false belief that lies at the root of science denialism, political polarization, and rampant belief in misinformation and disinformation. Microchips in our vaccines, stolen elections, climate change denial—in the face of a bewildering range of misbeliefs that stem from mistrust of informational sources, exposure to misinformation and disinformation, and partisan polarization, it's easy to dismiss those who disagree with us as 'delusional', 'psychotic', or merely 'ignorant'. But what if none of these judgments are supported by how we really come to believe things, and the truth is that we are all prone to false beliefs? What can we do to protect ourselves in this post-truth world? Drawing on decades of experience as a psychiatrist and clinical professor, Joe Pierre invites readers to journey with him through the normal quirks of brain functioning—such as 'heuristics', cognitive biases, motivated reasoning, cognitive dissonance, and

False Dawn
Hailed by Kirkus Reviews as both 'a convincing analysis of an international economy headed for disaster' and a 'powerful challenge to economic orthodoxy,' False Dawn shows that the attempt to impose the Anglo-American-style free market on the world will create a disaster, possibly on the scale of Soviet communism. Even America, the supposed flagship of the new civilization, risks moral and social disintegration as it loses ground to other cultures that have never forgotten that the market works best when it is embedded in society. John Gray, well known in the 1980s as an important conservative political thinker, whose writings were relied upon by Margaret Thatcher and the New Right in Britain, has concluded that the conservative agenda is no longer viable. In his examination of the ripple effects of the economic turmoil in Russia and Asia on our collective future, Gray provides one of the most passionate polemics against the utopia of the free market since Carlyle and Marx.
