      Paul Morgan has been running his luxury camping tour business in Kakadu National Park for the last five years. Taking small groups glamping, hiking, climbing, and swimming. It's been a busy five years, a hard five years, as he tried to forget the man he left behind. Derek Grimes pushes people away-a self-preservation reflex. Because they can't break his heart if he breaks theirs first, right? Five years on, lost and lonely, he tracks down the one and only love of his life. Maybe seeing how Paul had moved on will help Derek move on too . . . Paul can't believe it when a familiar name pops up on his client list, and Derek can't believe how good Paul looks, or just how happy living his dream job has made him. The spark between them never waned, but five years on, they've learned a few things about themselves and what they want. They could have everything they ever dreamed of-if they're prepared to trust each other. Because a second chance at first love comes but once in a lifetime.

      Marshall I hate Valentine Tye. I've hated him since we were ten years old. I hate everything he is, everything he stands for. Even the mention of his name gets my back up. And when I see him? My blood boils. My jaw clenches and my hands curl into fists. That's how much I hate him. I want to cause him pain. I want to hold him down and actually hurt him. And if that's not bad enough, that's exactly what he wants me to do to him. Valentine I know what people think of me. I know what they assume. They all think I'm some spoiled rich guy who's had everything handed to him. They don't know me at all. Behind my carefully constructed walls is an emptiness so dark it scares men away. I like pain. I like being used. For some messed up reason, it validates me. I don't need love or affection or, hell forbid, emotional attachment. What I need is a man who hates me, a man who despises me. A man like Marshall Wise. Because never in a million years would he ever feel anything for me. Right?

      Surrealism and Photography in Czechoslovakia: On the Needles of Days sheds much-needed light on the location of the greatest concentration of Surrealist photography and examines the culture and tradition within which it has taken root and flourished. The volume explores a rich and important artistic output, very little of which has been seen outside of its land of origin. Based on extensive research at museums in Prague and Brno and many conversations with participants in and historians of the movement, Krzysztof Fijalkowski, Michael Richardson and Ian Walker analyse how this photographic work has developed cohesively and rigorously, from the beginnings of Czech Surrealism in 1934, to the intriguing researches of the present-day Czech and Slovak Surrealist group by way of mysterious veiled responses to the repressive contexts with which they were faced from the 1950s to the 1980s. The main chapters, ordered chronologically, are intersected with shorter texts examining specific works. The reader will find in this volume images that present challenges to our understanding of how photographic work has been used within surrealism, pinpointing individual pictures whose dynamic charge may induce instants of compelling interrogation and disruption.
