She left to protect her peace. She never thought he'd come looking for forgiveness. Pregnant and alone, she chose to start over in a new city, building a life for her child without looking back. Adrian's denial cut deep, and some things, she believed, could never be repaired. Years later, Adrian returns unannounced and unexpectedly to the doorstep of the woman he lost. He's ready to be the father he should have been and the man he failed to become. He wants to know his child. He wants to make things right. But Nina isn't the same woman he once knew. She's stronger, wiser, and not so easily swayed by apologies. As Adrian tries to prove he's changed, old emotions rise to the surface—love, resentment, longing, and fear. Can she trust him again with her heart and with their child's? Or is forgiveness a risk she's no longer willing to take?

A laugh-out-loud, heart-melting romcom about second chances, unexpected reunions, and a Love List that might just rewrite everything.  She had a plan:  Build her dream coffee shop. Live her best life. And never, ever cross paths with Oliver Hayes again. Quinn Foster is perfectly content running her cozy hometown café, surviving awkward dates, and pretending her ex doesn't exist. After all, Oliver Hayes left  town a year ago with her heart and no forwarding address. She's moved on. Totally. Probably. But when a wedding emergency turns her coffee shop into a last-minute reception venue, Quinn finds herself face to face with the one man she swore she'd  never speak to again. Oliver is back in town—taller, scruffier, and just as frustratingly charming as ever and now he's helping her rearrange tables, hang fairy  lights… and completely unravel her carefully rebuilt life. As they work together, sparks fly and not the good kind. There's bickering, banter, and more tension than a coffee grinder on the fritz. But under the surface,  something else is brewing. Between sabotaged dates, lingering looks, and a very personal "e;Love List"e; accidentally sent to the wrong person (oops), Quinn  begins to wonder if the line between love and hate might be thinner than she thought. Oliver broke her heart once. Can she really trust him with it again?  Not Just A Moment is a laugh-out-loud, swoony romantic comedy featuring a fiercely loyal, stubborn heroine, a charming, secretly soft-hearted hero, and  enough chemistry to steam up a cappuccino. With clean, closed-door romance and a feel-good happily ever after, this story is perfect for preteens, teens,  and adults alike and anyone who believes love is worth a second shot.

In Unsettled States, Dana Luciano and Ivy G. Wilson present some of the most exciting emergent scholarship in American literary and cultural studies of the "long" nineteenth century. Featuring eleven essays from senior scholars across the discipline, the book responds to recent critical challenges to the boundaries, both spatial and temporal, that have traditionally organized scholarship within the field. The volume considers these recent challenges to be aftershocks of earlier revolutions in content and method, and it seeks ways of inhabiting and amplifying the ongoing unsettledness of the field.Written by scholars primarily working in the "minor" fields of critical race and ethnic studies, feminist and gender studies, labor studies, and queer/sexuality studies, the essays share a minoritarian critical orientation. Minoritarian criticism, as an aesthetic, political, and ethical project, is dedicated to finding new connections and possibilities within extant frameworks. Unsettled States seeks to demonstrate how the goals of minoritarian critique may be actualized without automatic recourse to a predetermined "minor" location, subject, or critical approach. Its contributors work to develop practices of reading an "American literature" in motion, identifying nodes of inquiry attuned to the rhythms of a field that is always on the move.
