Dusk with a Dangerous DukeAlexandra HawkinsThey were children when the Duke of Huntsley was introduced to Lady Grace Kearly. The young duke―nicknamed "Hunter"―took one look at his future bride and thought only of escaping his responsibilities to his family. Marriage was for grown-ups and Hunter still had years of skirt-chasing ahead of him. But now the time has come for Hunter to heed the call: if this Lord of Vice hopes to keep all of his inheritance, he'll have to claim his long-neglected betrothed...With her twenty-first birthday approaching, Lady Grace dreads the thought of marrying the duke she has met only once―especially since he's grown into a notorious rake who will probably beget his heir and abandon her in the country while he pursues fresh game in London. So when Lady Grace coolly decides to call the wedding off, even Hunter is surprised by his refusal to let her go. Suddenly, the notion of claiming and taming this green-eyed beauty is one challenge he cannot resist...

An instructive and relevant look at an explosive period in urban history! This savagely moving autobiography of a violent street gang covers its heyday in the 1960s when it had perhaps ten thousand members in at least twenty-six branches on Chicago's West Side. It is the story of a street gang that became a community organization, supported by private foundations and corporations and dedicated to social, economic and political development.

Lord Ripon is remembered, if, indeed, he is remembered at all nowadays, as the Liberal Viceroy of India in the early 1880s who applied Gladstonian principles of self determination and sowed the seeds of independence for the Raj. In fact, as Anthony Denholm's new biography shows, the vice-royalty was only one comparatively brief episode in a long and worthy public career dedicated to numerous good and improving causes. Ripon, the son of 'Prosperity Robinson' Prime Minister from 1827 to 1828, had an impressively long period of governmental service which began under Palmerston in 1859 and ended under Campbell Sannerman in 1908. In its obituary The Times described him as 'a second rank man of high ideals'. After reading this account of his life, it is difficult to quibble with that verdict. Ripon was essentially a loyal lieutenant, most notably to Gladstone. He was a faithful supporter of Home Rule and served on the joint Anglo-American Commission which settled the Alabama claims. He does not emerge from these pages as an innovator, a leader or a man of striking originality. He was an early Christian Socialist, associating with Thomas Hughes and others in what Mr Denholm almost suggests was a party within a party. In 1873 he converted to Catholicism after undergoing a characteristically agonized mid-Victorian spiritual crisis about which we are told tantalizingly little in this book.

Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson's decisive victory over the combined fleets of France and Spain on 21 October 1805 of the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815) remains one of the greatest naval triumphs in history. Off Cape Trafalgar, 27 British and 33 Franco-Spanish ships pounded each other in an epic four-hour struggle on whose outcome rested nothing less than Britain's security against Napoleonic invasion. Nelson's brilliant tactics, inspiring leadership and the superior training and morale of his crews left his opponents shattered in a savage encounter that not only marked the last great battle fought in the age of sail, but ushered in a century of British naval mastery.

This is a one-of-a-kind look at Nelson and his leadership skills. Vice Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson has been widely admired as a celebrated and effective leader. His dynamic approach to leadership and management has now been translated into a timeless, practical and contemporary insight for today's managers. Nelson's Way will bring 'The Nelson Touch' of luck, inspiration and leadership to everyone. Explaining how Nelson embodies the characteristics of the most successful of leaders, from bravery to determination, inspiration to luck and simplicity to unconventionality. Jones and Gosling explore and examine the self-made legend set against the backdrop of the high-seas, personal sacrifice, debilitating injuries and glorious conquests. With chapters including: Making Heroes, The Band of Brothers and Creating (and Sustaining) a Legend, Nelson's Way incorporates the latest research and joins a series of ground-breaking studies applying historical biography to business to create the most comprehensive insight into Nelson, his heroic exploits and legendary leadership skills.
