Ignition

Xander... Alexander Copeland Keenan is a second-generation tattoo artist. He's got a reputation as a rising star and a six-month waitlist to prove it. He's been focused on work and family, not looking for anyone or anything serious, but suddenly there's more. Suddenly there's everything when he meets Pippa Hall. Neither is ready for the bolt of instant attraction, or for the intensity of the days and weeks to follow as their chance meeting develops into an exclusive-and very intense-relationship. Hamish... To most of the world, Hamish Wilson is a talented, hard living, hard loving singer-songwriter. Most people don't know the real person behind the mask. From their first meeting a year prior, Pippa saw right to the heart of him and hadn't judged. Even better, she'd been his safe harbor, and a true friend. He tells himself he's not worthy of a committed romantic relationship with her, but fate-and Xander-intervened. Pippa wasn't the only one either man had history with, and after an unplanned beginning, the three embark on an exclusive triad. Pippa... Pippa Hall grew up in a family whose idea of discipline sent her and two of her sisters fleeing to start a new life in Seattle. She's got an excellent job as a mechanic at Twisted Steel, a custom car and motorcycle shop, a close relationship with her sisters and several dear friends, and then... She wasn't prepared to fall head over heels with two very bossy men whose focus was her well-being and pleasure. Pippa is loved. Deeply. Ignition... In the midst of their happily ever after, the shadow of Pippa's past casts a threat on the happiness and security of their lives. It will take more than love to overcome the fear. The three must stand, united to defend what is theirs.

A classic work in the history of science, and described as "a good book on rocket stuff...that's a really fun one" by SpaceX founder Elon Musk, readers will want to get their hands on this influential classic, available for the first time in decades. This newly reissued debut book in the Rutgers University Press Classics imprint is the story of the search for a rocket propellant which could be trusted to take man into space. This search was a hazardous enterprise carried out by rival labs who worked against the known laws of nature, with no guarantee of success or safety. Acclaimed scientist and sci-fi author John Drury Clark writes with irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the development of the explosive fuels strong enough to negate the relentless restraints of gravity. The resulting volume is as much a memoir as a work of history, sharing a behind-the-scenes view of an enterprise which eventually took men to the moon, missiles to the planets, and satellites to outer space.
