    I’m a professional chickenblocker. Except “chicken” is a euphemism. I get paid to follow a womanizing troglodyte who thinks rules are for other people and that my pants are the next pair he’s getting into. Dream on. Bet your first professional job didn’t involve babysitting an extremely hot, muscle-bound Scottish Highlander with an ego the size of a kilt and a libido bigger than his…well… Chicken. Keeping Scottish football (that’s ‘soccer” to us Americans) player Hamish McCormick away from inappropriate scandals while he does product endorsement campaigns is my mission. No problem. Until Hamish decides I’m his next scandal. And maybe more…. Shopping for a Highlander is an enemies-to-lovers, slow burn romance that opens with a surprise kiss and ends with a happily ever after. This sports comedy in the New York Times bestselling Shopping for a Billionaire world contains no actual chickens, but it has plenty of locker room scenes, a fake relationship, very real banter, and more. You do not have to have read the previous books in this world, though after you read about Amy and Hamish, you’ll want to. ;)

    Step into the sharp and satirical mind of Ambrose Bierce with Write It Right: A Little Blacklist of Literary Faults — a witty, incisive guide to the art of clear and correct writing. 
    First published in 1909, this compact yet powerful manual exposes the most common blunders of language and style, offering Bierce’s signature blend of precision, humor, and biting critique. From misused words and illogical phrases to lazy constructions and pompous diction, Bierce spares no one in his mission to defend the integrity of English prose. 
    Narrated by Donavan Price, this audiobook captures the acerbic wit and intellectual rigor that made Bierce one of America’s great literary critics. Write It Right remains as relevant — and as entertaining — as ever, a must-listen for writers, editors, and lovers of language who believe that words, used well, truly matter.

    Biggsy is an idealistic 50-year-old English teacher in a West London boys’ secondary school. A maverick head of department who battled against the educational establishment for twenty-five years, he’s beginning to crack. His departmental colleagues love him, but he suspects that the school’s management team is out to get rid of him. 
    His wife, Myra, a medical secretary, is his mainstay. She patiently endures his total commitment to his calling without complaint. However, when she realises that his work is taking an inordinate emotional toll on his personality, her patience wears thin. 
    Through his exchanges with teenage Ella, their only child, Biggsy reveals his beliefs about the connections between literary theory and the lives we all lead. But a violent assault on one of his students, an unexpected sexual encounter and professional betrayal expose the flaws in his philosophy. He discovers that trying to think one’s way through life is all very well, but the time comes when one has to act.
