Working undercover at a strip club is not my usual kind of job. If it weren't a great opportunity to show the Mike Bravo team I can run my own op, I wouldn't have agreed to it. When my boss asks me to befriend the biggest gossip in the establishment, the person who knows everything, I'm even more reluctant. Because that happens to be one of the dancers. The only dancer to catch my attention in all the wrong ways.I need to be professional or I will never prove I'm leadership material.Only problem is, the guy with the stage name Lemon makes me want to be anything but professional. LEMON. I'm sick of the new bartender throwing dirty looks my way. He's as judgmental as he is hot, and let's just say he's really judgmental. I don't know why he's working here if he looks down on us dancers so much. He could bartend at a regular club. But when he saves me from a drunken customer getting too handsy, his attitude suddenly flips, and we find ourselves becoming ... friends? Underneath the judgment, it turns out Atlas is a total sweetheart. Maybe more caring than anyone I've ever met. I've never had a relationship before, but something tells me it could be way too easy to fall for the gentle giant.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1847470</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1847470</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Finley, Eden]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1847470037</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revenge Cake]]></title><description><![CDATA[LeilaniHe wanted me instantly, pursued me relentlessly.At first, I was cold and resistant to his warmth.

In this prequel to the Wicked Lovely series, the Faery Courts collide a century before the mortals in Wicked Lovely are born. Thelma Foy, a jeweler with the Second Sight in iron-bedecked 1890s New Orleans, wasn't expecting to be caught in a faery conflict. Tam can see through the glamours faeries wear to hide themselves from mortals, but if her secret were revealed, the fey would steal her eyes, her life, or her freedom. So, Tam doesn't respond when they trail thorn-crusted fingertips through her hair at the French Market or when the Dark King sings along with her in the bayou. But when the Dark King, Irial, rescues her, Tam must confront everything she thought she knew about faeries, men, and love. Too soon, New Orleans is filling with faeries who are looking for her, and Irial is the only one who can keep her safe. Unbeknownst to Tam, she is the prize in a centuries-old fight between Summer Court and Winter Court. To protect her, Irial must risk a war he can't win-or surrender the first mortal woman he's loved.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1378427</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1378427</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marr, Melissa, 1972-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1378427037</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A Wicked Lovely Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Jakarta Method]]></title><description><![CDATA[The hidden story of the wanton slaughter - in Indonesia, Latin America, and around the world - backed by the United States. In 1965, the U.S. government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the twentieth century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful. In this bold and comprehensive new history, Vincent Bevins builds on his incisive reporting for the Washington Post, using recently declassified documents, archival research and eye-witness testimony collected across twelve countries to reveal a shocking legacy that spans the globe. For decades, it's been believed that parts of the developing world passed peacefully into the U.S.-led capitalist system. The Jakarta Method demonstrates that the brutal extermination of unarmed leftists was a fundamental part of Washington's final triumph in the Cold War.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1252246</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1252246</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bevins, Vincent]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1252246037</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>Washington&apos;s Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program That Shaped Our World</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crave]]></title><description><![CDATA[My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy.

Almost from the moment I enter the twilight world of the Deepnight, I learn my journey across the Rift was so much more than a barter. And it's not just Laurent and Varick I need to be wary of. There are rumors of darkness stirring--of long-forgotten danger rising in the old elven lands. Something is stirring in me, too. As I unravel the secrets of the vampire court and discover my own hidden abilities, I must choose between love and survival. Trapped between two powerful men, will I become a pawn in the battle for power, or will I take control of my own fate? Contains mature themes.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1577338</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1577338</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pennza, Amy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1577338037</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything for You]]></title><description><![CDATA[Gavin--We've been teammates for two years, but it feels like a lifetime that Oliver Bergman's been on my last nerve. A demanding captain and veteran player, I'm feared and friendless, while he's the beloved rising star, all sunshine smiles and upbeat team spirit. To make matters worse, he's obscenely attractive. In short: he's genetically designed to get under my skin. Avoiding Oliver has been my survival tactic on and off the field. But when Coach drops the bomb that we're now co-captains, avoiding him becomes impossible, and keeping the truth from him-let alone my distance-is harder than ever. Oliver--Life was great until soccer legend Gavin Hayes joined the team and proved he's nothing like the guy I grew up idolizing. Instead, he's a giant-albeit gorgeous-grump who lives to rain on my parade. I've sworn off pranks since entering the public eye, so rather than settle our differences the Bergman way, I've had to settle for killing Gavin with kindness. There's just one problem: killing him with kindness is killing me. To make matters worse, Coach gives us an ultimatum: put an end to our enmity or say goodbye to being captains. I'm prepared to be miserable while we meet her demands and make nice, but the last thing I expect is to discover an explosive attraction we can't help but act on, and worse yet, to realize the man hiding beneath Gavin's gruff exterior is all I've ever wanted. Everything for You is a grumpy-sunshine, enemies-to-lovers, age gap sports romance about an upbeat rising soccer star with anxiety and his curmudgeonly veteran teammate who lives with chronic pain. Complete with nosy senior citizens, nosier siblings, and a meddling coach, this standalone slow burn is the fifth in a series of novels about a Swedish-American family of five brothers, two sisters, and their wild adventures as they each find happily ever after.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1318188</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1318188</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Liese, Chloe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1318188037</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hbr Guide to Beating Burnout]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1553830</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1553830</guid><category><![CDATA[AB_ONLINE]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Harvard Business Review]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1553830037</comments><format>AB_ONLINE</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item></channel></rss>
