The new novel from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Icebreaker and Wildfire... As a chronic procrastinator, Henry Turner always knew his junior year in college wasn't going to be easy. That was before he made ice hockey captain as well as landing himself in a difficult class with his least favourite professor. Thankfully, it's then that Henry meets Halle, a fellow junior who he immediately befriends.

In turn he offers to help make college life a little more inspiring - just the thing she needs as an aspiring novelist… Failure isn't an option for either of them but that doesn't mean there isn't a little room for distraction… Not suitable for younger readers.

It is said that behind every successful man there stands a devoted and capable woman. The three famous chemists Perkin, Kipping and their collaborator Lapworth married three sisters: Mina, Lily, and Kathleen Holland. The three Holland sisters kept their husbands in close and very productive collaboration throughout their lives, thereby greatly increasing their scientific output. They functioned as a productive scientific family. However, the life and work of the men is thoroughly documented, but little is known about their wives. Professor Eugene G. Rochow, a world-renowned scientist, wrote this biographical historical novel with the help of a grandson, Dr. Brian Kipping. Professor Rochow did not intend to write a bare-bones biography. He took care to make the book factually accurate. Wherever there are no facts, he has not hesitated to flesh out the account with imagination and actual experience of others in order to make the text more readable.

That's it, I can't stand it anymore! I've spent months trying to get Professor Logan Clark to notice me. I dress sexy, I gaze into his eyes, I lick my lips when he looks at me. I want to get him out of his classroom and out of his clothes for a little private, one-on-one tutoring… COURTNEY SHAW: I'm a smoking hot red head with a sex drive that would make a porn star blush and a major daddy complex. Older men are my thing, and lots of them have sampled the sweet treats I have in my panties. So why isn't Logan Clark jumping at the chance to be with me? Even after our little oral exam in the restroom he keeps pushing me away. Is this his idea of torture? Well, two can play at that game… LOGAN CLARK: Damn this girl, doesn't she understand that there are rules against professors having sex with students, no matter how smoking hot and sexy they are? She doesn't seem to care that screwing her could get me fired. I'm not going to risk my job just to have sex with her. No way. Not even after she drops a wet thong on my desk and shows up naked at my door. I've worked too hard to get where I am at this school. I'm not going blow it all for her. At least that's what I keep telling myself…

„Taine und die englische Romantik“ lautet der Titel der 1924 erschienenen Dissertation von Kathleen Murray. Sie hat den französischen Philosophen und Kritiker Hippolyte Adolphe Taine zum Gegenstand. Dabei orientiert sie sich an dessen 1864 erschienenem Werk „Histoire de la littérature anglaise“ und analysiert sein Urteil über die englische Romantik. Ebenso interessant wie der Inhalt der Dissertation sind die Begleitumstände ihrer Entstehung: Denn Kathleen Murray war die Geliebte Carl Schmitts und wurde von ihm in mehrfacher Hinsicht unterstützt. So stellte Schmitt den Erstkontakt zu dem Romanisten Ernst Robert Curtius her, der die Dissertation fortan betreute. Doch auch an der Dissertation selber, so weiss man heute, arbeitete Schmitt „koautorschaftlich mit“. Kathleen Murray dankte es ihm, indem sie das Buch mit der Widmung „To Professor Dr. Carl Schmitt at Bonn am Rhein this little book is dedicated“ versah, während Schmitt im Vorwort der zweiten Auflage seines Werks „Politische Romantik“ direkt darauf Bezug nahm.
