From Wall Street Journal, BookTok, and #1 Amazon bestselling author T L Swan comes the new edition of the steamy first title in her fan-favorite Mr. Series. When Brielle Johnson lied on her resume, she didn’t expect it to matter. She believed any child would love her; that she was born to be a nanny. So, she applied for a position in London working for a widowed woman, or so she thought… But Julian Masters is definitely all man… The kind you dream of licking chocolate from. He’s grumpy, arrogant and always used to being in control. The last thing he needed was a young, inexperienced nanny turning his carefully constructed world upside down. Brielle’s first day was bad. The kids were the spawn of the devil, and she spied through a window and caught him doing something obscene…and equally fascinating. The second day was worse; he caught her snooping in his bathroom cabin

Produced in May 1998 in New York and starring Peter Falk, Mr. Peters' Connections takes place, in Miller's own words, in that suspended state of consciousness when the mind is freed to roam from real memories to conjectures, from trivialities to tragic insights, from terror of death to glorying in one's being alive. Within the confines of his mind, Mr. Peters interacts with the living members of his family and his long-deceased brother and lover, as well as the imaginary Adele, a black bag lady, who is a figment of Peters' imagination and one of Miller's most original characters. A work of rare honesty and dignity (Fintan O'Toole, New York Daily News), Mr. Peters' Connections uncoils with ferocious, life-affirming intensity.

William Klein’s Mr. Freedom (1969) is one of the most important American satirical films ever produced, the tale of an American superhero with disastrously misguided priorities. Although it was made in France and with a largely French cast, Klein was an American expatriate, and the film’s primary topic is American culture. That it is still so largely unseen seems to have something to do with a view of it as being, in the words of critic Jonathan Rosenbaum, “conceivably the most anti-American movie ever made”.In his contribution to the Constellations series, Tyler Sage argues that to call Mr. Freedom “anti-American” is to misunderstand not only the film but the satirical tradition of American arts and letters from which it descends. The film is challenging, Sage asserts, not because it is unpatriotic but because it lays bare the ideological nature of American films themselves. By interweaving a startling range of topics, including the cultural conditions surrounding the Vietnam War, the foundations of the American obsessions with race and violence, and our contemporary superhero film cycle, Sage explores the ways Mr. Freedom compels the viewer to come to terms with the fact that the stories we tell ourselves can never be separated from the larger forces of history, culture and film tradition.
