The Proposition is a story of lost love, second chances, and forgiveness. Janeshia James has a secret she's attracted to her boss. He's handsome geeky genius, Walker Perrault. But his cocky stance and miles of arrogant attitude are enough to make Janeshia run in the opposite direction. Not to mention the two of them are thrust together daily in the workplace where their personalities clash making it hard to find a balance. Then after years of climbing the corporate ladder, Janeshia thought she had made it to the top of the non-profit she works for. Or, so she thinks. When she learns, there's going to be an audit of her books because of a "peculiar insight" and it looks like not only Janeshia management talents are being questioned, but her ability to be the director of the non-profit, as well. In comes Walker, to the rescue, he smells a rat, in the mist of the bizarre game of who's auditing who. Can Janeshia trust him? Is he protecting secrets of his own that will change the course of both their lives forever?Janeshia finds herself up against three formidable men, one with the knowledge to take away her position, one with the power to take away her heart and one with a deep dark secret that may change her life forever. Will, Walker lift the veil of deception and expose the truth to her before it's too late? Or will a dark secret from the past change their lives forever?

This book was first published in 1972. The concept of role has been central to the development of knowledge about, and measures of, the normative context which mediates between the individual and society. This volume raises a number of questions about the adequacy of the theoretical concept of role when used to describe social phenomena.

This book was originally published in 1970. The concept of profession and the characteristics by which certain occupations are claimed to enjoy professional status is a highly appropriate example of the kind of conceptual area which this Sociological Studies series aims to explore.

Originally published in 1968, all the papers in the first volume of Sociological Studies are centred round the theme of social stratification. An editorial introduction discusses developments in the literature on this subject and provides a background against which the papers are set.
