Isaac Morris has devoted his life to preaching against the sin of homosexuality. But when his sister proposes a documentary to demonstrate once and for all that it's a choice-with Isaac choosing to be gay as proof-he balks. Until he learns his nephew is headed down that perverted path. Isaac will do anything to convince the teenager he can choose to be straight...including his sister's film. When Isaac's first foray into the gay lifestyle ends with a homophobic beating, he's saved and cared for by Colton Roberts, a gentle, compassionate bartender with a cross around his neck. Colton challenges every one of Isaac's deeply held beliefs about gay men. He was kicked out by homophobic parents, saved from the streets by a kind pastor, and is now a devout Christian. Colton's sexuality has cost him dearly, but it also brought him to God. As the two grow closer, everything Isaac knows about homosexuality, his faith, and himself is called into question. And if he's been wrong all along, what does that mean for his ministry, his soul, his struggling nephew-and the man he never meant to love? This 108,000 word novel was previously published.

Former gladiator Saevius is certain Fortune’s smiling on him when a Pompeiian politician buys him to be his bodyguard. That is until his new master, Laurea Calvus, orders Saevius to discover the gladiator with whom his wife is having a sordid affair. In order to do that, Saevius must return to the arena, training alongside the very men on whom he’s spying. Worse, he’s now under the command of Drusus, a notoriously cruel—and yet strangely intriguing—lanista. But Saevius’s ruse is the least of his worries. There’s more to the affair than a wife humiliating her prominent husband, and now Saevius is part of a dangerous game between dangerous men. He isn’t the only gladiator out to expose the Lady Verina’s transgressions, and her husband wants more than just the guilty man’s name. When Saevius learns the truth about the affair, he’s left with no choice but to betray a master: one he’s come to fear, one he’s come to respect, and either of whom could have him killed without repercussion. For the first time in his life, the most dangerous place for this gladiator isn’t the arena. This 52,500 word novel was previously published under the pseudonym L.A. Witt, and has been lightly revised.

Trevor Larson is a Navy brat. He’s used to moving every few years, and thanks to social media, he can stay in touch with the friends he leaves behind. But shortly after he leaves Okinawa, his best friend, Brad Gray, cuts off contact and disappears. Four years and two bases later, Brad resurfaces—and announces his family is coming to Trevor’s base in Spain. But a lot’s changed in four years, and Trevor is stunned to find out Brad is now Shannon. Their reunion isn’t quite what either of them had hoped for, but they quickly find their footing, both relieved to have each other back. Except nothing is ever all sunshine and roses. The military is a small world, and there’s no keeping Shannon’s transition a secret. Parents warn their kids away from her. She can’t attend school on-base for fear of harassment or worse. And although her parents try to hide it, being ostracized by their only social circle while they’re thousands of miles from home is taking a toll on them, too. More and more, Shannon leans on Trevor. But she’s also drawn to him, and he’s drawn right back to her, feeling things he’s never felt for anyone before. Trevor’s scared, though. Not of dating a trans girl. Not of damaging his chaplain father’s career or reputation. After finally getting his friend back, does he dare take things further and risk losing Shannon a second time?

Review\n'Ann Gallagher has written a wonderful 'bible' of slow ethics for all the care professions. Lively, accessible and incredibly moving, its lessons are profoundly relevant to the changing world we find ourselves in. Every hospital, every care agency and every funding body should have this book in their library - and put its lessons into practice.'--Tim Jackson, Professor of Sustainable Development, University of Surrey, UK\n'Ann Gallagher is one of the leading international voices in care ethics. In Slow Ethics and the Art of Care, she draws on nearly four decades of experience, observation and scholarship to explore the real ethical choices facing all those who try to care well. This is a wise and deeply humane book that should be read by everyone who's serious about one of the most urgent human challenges we face.'--Christina Patterson, journalist and author of The Art of Not Falling Apart, UK\n'Delightful scholarship and deep humanity make this book a rare treasure. It will become a classic, to be read and pondered...slowly.'--Christopher Herbert, Visiting Professor of Christian Ethics, University of Surrey, UK\n'Health care is notoriously fast paced. Health care providers decry how busy they are in their professional lives and lament the lack of time for reflection. Professor Ann Gallagher provides an antidote to this situation in her book Slow Ethics and the Art of Care. Drawing on her extensive experience in nursing and ethics, she persuasively guides the reader to the inescapable conclusion that slowness is a necessity, not a luxury in the provision of health care. Beautifully written and lucidly argued, it should be savoured slowly and ideally with a cup of tea!'--Ross Upshur, Professor, Department of Family and Community Medicine, Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, Canada\n'Population-level challenges from the coronavirus pandemic to ageing and dementia call on us to consider what it means to live a good life, how we should live in relation to each other, and who counts as a member of society. Care ethics offers a crucial way to understand how lives are linked through interdependence. Ann Gallagher's Slow Ethics is both a thoughtful meditation on the nature of care and a practical guide to thinking and doing in uncertain times. This new work will be welcomed by scholars of care ethics and practitioners in care fields and will be of interest to general readers.' --Nancy Berlinger, The Hastings Center, USA 'In this meditation on the nature of 'slow ethics'; Gallagher considers morally exemplary as well as morally deficient acts to make the case for slow ethics, which places;sensitivity, solidarity, space, sustainability, scholarship and stories; at its centre. We need, Gallagher argues, to slow down to practice care in an ethical way. Most remarkably, the book is itself a beautiful and personal illustration of how 'slow ethics' can work to change how we care and, indeed, how we live.' --Joan Claire Tronto, Professor Emerita, Department of Political Science, University of Minnesota\n'This book offers considerable insight into how health care might be delivered in the current challenging climate and leads the way in developing a new approach to delivering health care.' --Leslie Gelling, Editor of the Journal of Clinical Nursing and Principal Academic in Adult Nursing, Bournemouth University, UK\n'Ann Gallagher has written a wonderful 'bible' of slow ethics for all the care professions.

Damien Hirst

Damien Hirst (b. 1965), once the enfant terrible of the so-called Young British Artists, is one of the most controversial—and certainly the most famous—artists of his generation. His work, which includes installation, painting, sculpture, and drawing, challenges the boundaries between art, science, and popular culture. Published to accompany the major retrospective of Hirst’s work at Tate Modern in summer 2012, this book surveys 25 years of the artist’s practice, from sharks in formaldehyde to spot paintings to medicine cabinets to diamond-encrusted skulls, making a major contribution to our understanding and appreciation of one of the most significant artists of our time. With contributions by a team of curators and critics, this superbly illustrated survey is a fitting tribute to Hirst’s headline-making achievements.
