Unpacking of the dynamics of conflict under conditions of nuclear monopoly, Paul C. Avey argues in Tempting Fate that the costs and benefits of using nuclear weapons create openings that weak nonnuclear actors can exploit. Avey uses four case studies to show the key strategies available to nonnuclear states: Iraqi decision-making under Saddam Hussein in confrontations with the United States; Egyptian leaders' thinking about the Israeli nuclear arsenal during wars in 1969–70 and 1973; Chinese confrontations with the United States in 1950, 1954, and 1958; and a dispute that never escalated to war, the Soviet-United States tensions between 1946 and 1948 that culminated in the Berlin Blockade. Strategies employed include limiting the scope of the conflict, holding chemical and biological weapons in reserve, seeking outside support, and leveraging international non-use norms. Avey demonstrates clearly that nuclear weapons cast a definite but limited shadow, and while the world continues to face various nuclear challenges, understanding conflict in nuclear monopoly will remain a pressing concern for analysts and policymakers. Thanks to generous funding from Virginia Tech and its participation in TOME, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes, available from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other repositories.

A woman with no roots... Naomi fled the cult-like nightmare of her childhood and learned to rely on one person-herself. Her resourcefulness keeps her alive during a catastrophe in the mountains, but it's no help at all when it comes to Chaska Belcourt, the sexy EMT who saves her life. Raised to feel shame about her body and sex, she is putty in Chaska's hands as he strips away her armor, exposing the vulnerable woman beneath, awakening desires in her that she'd been taught to ignore. A kiss that changes everything... Chaska Belcourt grew up on the reservation, the son of a hereditary Sun Dance chief. He left all of that behind for a new life in Colorado as an engineer with an aerospace firm and a member of the elite Rocky Mountain Search & Rescue Team. He doesn't share his sister's belief that fate led him to find Naomi. But from the first moment their lips touch, he can't get enough of her. A love that transforms... As the passion between them turns into something more, Chaska is forced to admit that his sister is right. There's no other way to explain the depth of his feelings for Naomi-or the fact that he and his people might hold the key to unraveling the mysteries of her past. But she will have to learn to trust again before the two of them can find the answers she needs-and claim this once-in-a-lifetime love.

She needs him. He hates her. Working together’s gonna be fun. Faith Fox has one last shot to keep her cash-strapped tutoring center open. Unfortunately for her, the man who controls the grant she desperately needs is also the man whose heart she broke years ago. And Leo Morales clearly still loathes her. That’s why Faith is shocked when Leo not only gives her the grant, but he insists on complete oversight—including tagging along on an overnight camping trip in her way-too-cozy tent. Is he doing it to punish her? Or does he want to use Faith’s body to satisfy the inconvenient attraction that flares to life every time they’re together? The only thing Faith knows for sure is that spending time with her first love dredges up long-buried feelings that threaten her grant, her peace of mind, and her life’s work. Even more confusing? She’s starting to think Leo might not actually hate her at all... Read the final book in the award-winning Cinnamon Roll Alphas series, featuring a confident, curvy heroine and her scowly ex who still remembers how to climb the trellis outside her bedroom window. Like all Sara Whitney books, Tempting Fate will delight you with its playful banter, upbeat vibes, and very happy ending. “Sweet, spicy, emotional, and hilarious.” Sarah, Book Obsession Confessions

Jackson: Everyone says what a lucky guy I am. I've got a great kid, an amicable relationship with my ex, and a job working cattle on one of the largest ranches in Eden, Wyoming. Only problem is that "everyone" has no clue that I'm living a half-life. Because the other half is a closeted gay man who's got it bad for the young ranch hand he works with day in and day out. But the very straight Travis isn't an option. And even if he were, my sexy co-worker isn't exactly committed to commitment. So it's time for a change and since gay guys aren't exactly falling off trees in Eden, I'm going to need a little help. Travis: It was supposed to be a Friday night like any other. Me and my best friend heading into town to find some female company for a few hours. And even though Jackson usually goes home alone, he's still a great wingman. Unfortunately, between my impatience to get the night started and my bad habit of snooping, I've learned two things about Jackson in the space of five minutes that have left me all kinds of confused. Jackson's gay. And he's placed a classified ad to try and hook up with some guy he can't get his mind off after a brief run-in at a hardware store in the city. Now I can't get my mind off Jackson. Don't get me wrong, I like the ladies, but why can't I stop thinking about my good-looking best friend and the faceless stranger he's ready to start something new with? Jackson doesn't need some random guy right now. Not when he has me...Oh hell.

In “Tempting Fate” by Susan Sizemore, Desiree dreams she spent a passion-filled night with sexy rock star Jon Coyote...and that he told her he was a vampire. But when Desiree discovers she is mysteriously pregnant, her erotic fantasy takes a strangely realistic turn. An angry ghost is haunting Caroline’s house in “The Darkness Within” by award-winning author Maggie Shayne. But when sexy private investigator Jim Lipton offers to help discover what is going on, Caroline suspects that he has a personal interest in her ghost—and in her.

Lycanthropy takes an exotic tropical twist in “Crazy for the Cat” by Caridad Piñeiro. When scientist Jessica Morales travels to the Amazon jungle, she discovers that beneath the savage grace of her local guide, the handsome Javier da Costa, lurks a hidden wildness that is as tempting as it is dangerous.
