The dashing, licentious Marquess of Ranelaw can never forgive Godfrey Demarest for ruining his sister—now the time has come to repay the villain in the same coin. But one formidably intriguing impediment stands in the way of Nicholas''s vengeance: Miss Antonia Smith, companion to his foe''s unsuspecting daughter. Having herself been deceived and disgraced by a rogue—banished by her privileged family as a result and forced to live a lie—Antonia vows to protect her charge from the same cruel fate. She recognizes Ranelaw for the shameless blackguard he is and will devote every ounce of her intelligence and resolve to thwarting him. Yet Antonia has always had a fatal weakness for rakes . . .

This thesis is a study of St Colette of Corbie (1381-1447), a Franciscan reformer in fifteenth- century France who was canonized in 1807. It aims to locate Colette in her own historical context of the traumatic transition from medieval to early modem Europe, and assess whether the events and actions of her life merited the reputation she earned for holiness and the creation of a posthumous cult. It further aims to trace the factors which both enabled her cult to survive throughout the period of the Reformation, Counter-Reformation and Enlightenment, and yet delayed her canonization until the beginning of the period of Napoleonic in Europe. Part One questions the reliability of the hagiographical construction of identity through the analysis of primary documentation in order to build an historical portrait of Colette. It establishes Colette in her Franciscan setting, examining her Franciscan influences and her specific Franciscan calling. It analyses the relationship and tensions between Colette''s reforms and the Franciscan Observant reforms. It makes a thorough analysis of the reform''s complex and political network of patrons; and seeks to determine how Colette is able to negotiate both political and religious power-politics in order to both satisfy her patrons and further the reforms. Part Two traces the survival of Colette''s cult between 1447-1807, analysing its enduring popularity through traumatic socio-religio-political change. It discusses how Colette''s identity was forced to change and how its adaptability to circumstances was the secret to its success. It aims to answer the questions of why Colette was canonized, why it took so long, and why 1807 was the ''right time'' for her canonization.

Un alma torturada que renacerá con el juego del amor. «Seré muchas cosas», dijo lord Sheen, «pero la amabilidad no se cuenta entre mis virtudes.» La bella Grace Paget no tiene motivos para dudar de estas palabras. A fin de cuentas la han secuestrado por error, la han llevado a una casa perdida en el campo y le han dicho que debe satisfacer todos los deseos de este hombre o perderá la vida. Sin embargo, en los ojos de él hay algo que la incita a dudar: quizá no sea tan cruel como quiere parecer. Encerrado como un prisionero, y tratado como un loco por la sociedad en pleno, Sheene haría cualquier cosa por recuperar su vida. Pero la sensualidad de Grace se ha interpuesto en sus objetivos. Pese a que la encuentra irresistible, le horroriza retenerla en contra de su voluntad. Juntos deberán rebelarse contra las singulares circunstancias que los han unido. Solo entonces Grace se atreverá a iniciar el juego de la seducción, tierno e intenso.

Headlong into sin . . . A well-practiced rake, weary of easy conquests and empty pleasures, Tarquin Vale, Earl of Ashcroft, knows women—and his every instinct warns him to beware of this one. Diana Carrick''s brazen overtures have thrown the haunted, sinfully handsome lord completely off his guard. Why, the exquisite temptress stated outright that she wishes to be his lover. But it is neither Diana''s boldness nor her beauty that intrigues him so—it is the innocence he senses behind her worldly mask. Intent upon the seduction that will finally free her, Diana has set her sights on the notorious Ashcroft—never dreaming that there is much more to the enigmatic rogue than sin and deviltry. His kiss is bewitching, his caress intoxicating—and even the dangerous secret Diana must protect cannot shield her from Ashcroft''s dark allure. Unwittingly yet most willingly, they are playing with fire. Now the fuse has been lit and there is no escape . . . except surrender.

Beautiful Grace Paget has no reason not to believe these words. After all, she was kidnapped, spirited away to a remote country manor, and told she is to grant this man his every desire . . . or lose her life. But Grace is no common trollop. So she risks everything to save her virtue by planning a daring escape, even though she finds herself tempted by this handsome man. There is something in his eyes that makes her wonder if he is as dangerous as he would have her believe. Sheene knew nothing of the plan to bring him this woman. Locked up as a prisoner, called "mad" by all of the world, he will do anything to reclaim his life, and Grace''s sensuous beauty has distracted him from his goals. And although he finds her irresistible, he is horrified to hold her against her will. Now, together, they must both revolt against the strange set of circumstances that have forced them together—for only then will Grace truly surrender to him . . . forever.

The Duke of Kylemore knows her as Soraya, London''s most celebrated courtesan. Men fight duels to spend an hour in her company. And only he comes close to taming her. Flying in the face of society, he decides to make her his bride; then, she vanishes, seemingly into thin air. Dire circumstances have forced Verity Ashton to barter her innocence and change her name for the sake of her family. But Kylemore destroys her plans for a respectable life when he discovers her safe haven. He kidnaps her, sweeping her away to his hunting lodge in Scotland, where he vows to bend her to his will. There he seduces her anew. Verity spends night after night with him in his bed . . . and though she still dreams of escape and independence, she knows she can never flee the unexpected, unwelcome love for the proud, powerful lover who claims her both body and soul.

ABSTRACT: Because of the high prevalence of body dissatisfaction and its negative consequences a meta-analysis of the effects of exercise interventions on body image is timely. Older meta-analyses of the effects of exercise on body image pooled data from a range of studies that include correlational, quasi-experimental, and experimental exercise designs; with limited examination of moderators. The purpose of my thesis was to meta-analytically examine the impact of exercise interventions on body image; and participant, intervention, and design features that are associated with larger intervention effects. I conducted a systematic literature search and identified 57 exercise interventions (with pre and post data for both the exercise and control groups) examining the effects of chronic exercise on body image (N Total [equal] 6,273, Experimental N [equal] 3,639, Control N [equal] 2,634). The quality of studies varied. For the analyses, I used Comprehensive Meta-analysis-2. I found a small random effect (effect size [equal] 0.29) indicating that exercise interventions resulted in improved body image compared to control conditions; and that participant (i.e., age), design (i.e., year of publication), and intervention (i.e., exercise frequency and specificity) features moderated the size of the effect. The results of my study indicate that chronic exercise does lead to improvements in body image. Further research is needed examining the mechanisms and the exercise dose-response needed for this change in body image.

Any man in London would worship her. Yet Olivia is, quite frankly, bored of them all. Despite her many dalliances, she''s never felt true passion, never longed for any lover''s touch . . . until Julian, London''s most notoriously wanton rake, decided to make her his mistress. From the moment he first saw her, Julian knew he must possess her. And when he discovers her greatest secret, a scandal that could ruin her reputation and end her career, he knows just the way to use this damaging information to his most delightful advantage. He offers Olivia a deal with the devil: he''ll keep her secret . . . if she allows him the chance to show her true ecstasy. But Olivia must be careful, for Julian has a secret of his own: he will not rest until she is completely, shamelessly his.
