Innocent and voluptuous Peggy Raven was consumed with the passion for dance. Only too soon did she realize the real way people succeed in show business-but her relocation to New York City would teach her the tricks of the trade-whether she wanted to or not! Her first was Dave Farnum, the theatre director who groomed her for the big time with advice and adoration. Then there was Ernie Kastle, talent peddler extrodinaire from whom she learned that a lot of loving, and a little talent, could take her a long way! Stan Newkirk was next, and became her graceful partner on stage and in the bedroom! Finally came Bob Hamilton, the debonair dilettante who was the financial angel in the light of lost innocence!Jean's voluptuous body had the the movements that sorched men's emotions. Haughty, disdainful, she warded off every advance with icy detachment . . . her sights set on goals encased in the glamor of Hollywood. Even her affair with show manager Nick Diles was strictly business as far as she was concerned. And then Mace joined the show-a daredevil motorcyclist with broken nerves and shattered manhood. Yet he continued to stir women to passions long dormant. Under Mace's spell, Jean turned her act and body into a dancing fire of lustful promise-renewing Nick's needs and driving him to a jealous frenzy. In vengeful retaliation, Nick attempted to force Jean into after-the-show "customer relations" and started a blazing chain reaction no one could stop!
Born into a family of successful playwrights and producers, Agnes de Mille was determined to be an actress. Then one day she witnessed the Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova, and her life was altered forever. Hypnotized by Pavlova’s beauty, in that moment de Mille dedicated herself to dance. Her memoir records with lighthearted humor and wisdom not only the difficulties she faced—the resistance of her parents, the sacrifices of her training—but also the frontier atmosphere of early Hollywood and New York and London during the Depression. “This is the story of an American dancer,” writes de Mille, “a spoiled egocentric wealthy girl, who learned with difficulty to become a worker, to set and meet standards, to brace a Victorian sensibility to contemporary roughhousing, and who, with happy good fortune, participated by the side of great colleagues in a renaissance of the most ancient and magical of all the arts.”

Dance and the Hollywood Latina asks why every Latina star in Hollywood history, from Dolores Del Rio in the 1920s to Jennifer Lopez in the 2000s, began as a dancer or danced onscreen. While cinematic depictions of women and minorities have seemingly improved, a century of representing brown women as natural dancers has popularized the notion that Latinas are inherently passionate and promiscuous. Yet some Latina actresses became stars by embracing and manipulating these stereotypical fantasies. Introducing the concepts of "inbetween-ness" and "racial mobility" to further illuminate how racialized sexuality and the dancing female body operate in film, Priscilla Peña Ovalle focuses on the careers of Dolores Del Rio, Rita Hayworth, Carmen Miranda, Rita Moreno, and Jennifer Lopez. Dance and the Hollywood Latina helps readers better understand how the United States grapples with race, gender, and sexuality through dancing bodies on screen.

Before he became Alexander the Great, he was Alexandros, teenage son of the king of Makedon. But rather than enjoying a life of luxury, as prince he has to excel his peers in all ways: be faster, smarter, stronger, and more courageous, tackling problems without any help. Competition and status define one’s fate in his world, where loyalty is rare and precious. Alexandros finds such loyalty in Hephaistion, one of the boys assigned to accompany him for lessons under Aristoteles. With Hephaistion’s fidelity and friendship, he learns to trust himself and become a leader of men. Yet he still longs to be loved for himself. Does Hephaistion love the prince, or Alexandros? This bundle, available exclusively at Riptide, contains both books in the Dancing with the Lion duology: 1. Dancing with the Lion: Becoming 2. Dancing with the Lion: Rise
