A LAWYER MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN HIS CLIENT'S LIFE AND HIS FAMILY'S SURVIVAL

Modern life for a man left behind in the 1980s is stressful enough. But when Phillip perceives that the government is harassing him, he's pushed to his breaking point. He fears "they're" out to put him back behind bars or 6 feet under.

Despite David's reassurances that he's being overly paranoid, bad dreams and forgotten memories resurface in Phillip's mind. He begins to doubt his sanity and innocence. And it's getting harder to resist his inner voice urging him to kill David and maybe his family too.

As David becomes increasingly suspicious of Phillip, he fears for himself and his family. But Phillip has all but been adopted by David's wife and Phillip and his son have become best friends. They think David has lost it.

David finds himself in a race to solve the mystery that is Phillip Dawkins. The courts, prison officials, the FBI, the CIA, are all fair game in his frantic search for answers.

Can David discover the truth in time to save himself and his family or will shadowy forces unleash a killer first?

In The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, bestselling author Ryan Holiday made ancient wisdom wildly popular with a new generation of leaders in sports, politics, and technology. In his new book, Stillness Is the Key, Holiday draws on timeless Stoic and Buddhist philosophy to show why slowing down is the secret weapon for those charging ahead.

All great leaders, thinkers, artists, athletes, and visionaries share one indelible quality. It enables them to conquer their tempers. To avoid distraction and discover great insights. To achieve happiness and do the right thing. Ryan Holiday calls it stillness--to be steady while the world spins around you.

In this book, he outlines a path for achieving this ancient, but urgently necessary way of living. Drawing on a wide range of history's greatest thinkers, from Confucius to Seneca, Marcus Aurelius to Thich Nhat Hanh, John Stuart Mill to Nietzsche, he argues that stillness is not mere inactivity, but the doorway to self-mastery, discipline, and focus.

Holiday also examines figures who exemplified the power of stillness: baseball player Sadaharu Oh, whose study of Zen made him the greatest home run hitter of all time; Winston Churchill, who in balancing his busy public life with time spent laying bricks and painting at his Chartwell estate managed to save the world from annihilation in the process; Fred Rogers, who taught generations of children to see what was invisible to the eye; Anne Frank, whose journaling and love of nature guided her through unimaginable adversity.

More than ever, people are overwhelmed. They face obstacles and egos and competition. Stillness Is the Key offers a simple but inspiring antidote to the stress of 24/7 news and social media. The stillness that we all seek is the path to meaning, contentment, and excellence in a world that needs more of it than ever.

Julia’s house was the nicest on the street. But things aren’t always what they seem. Her parents fought constantly, and Julia was right in the middle - close to her father and estranged from her abusive mother. Then the worst thing happened. Julia’s father committed suicide. At least that’s what her mother had told her. With the help of her boyfriend, Julia uncovers a trail of clues which expose a shocking secret. Did Julia ever really know her father? Did he take his own life or did something far more sinister happen?

Her boys need a home. His sons need a mother. Can two single parents turn a year-long contract into a lifetime of love?

Caroline Taylor worries her judgement in men is more damaged than her heart. Still reeling from a painful divorce, her protective nature kicks in after an eviction notice threatens to put her two young sons out on the streets. While she’s enchanted by the gallant Air Force Sergeant who offers to lease out his basement, he’s strictly off limits.

Geno D'Antoni isn’t sure which is harder: boot camp or raising teen boys. So he hopes having the gentle Caroline around will bring a guiding maternal influence to his military style of discipline. And even though his new house guest brushes off his flirtations, he’s got a whole year to win her over.
As the beautiful Alaskan seasons change, their platonic agreement weakens under the heat of their chemistry. But when exes come crawling back into their lives, both parents must examine their true desires.

Can Caroline and Geno join their families and their hearts in a happily-ever-after?

A Year with Geno is a charming sweet romance with a hint of comedy. If you like slow-burning attractions, blended family challenges, and scenic Alaskan settings, then you’ll adore Annette Drake’s emotional tale.
