Pregnant with my brother’s best friend?

No, that can’t happen!

They say, the universe always conspires to give you what yoú’ve always wanted.

In my case, it’s revenge with Jax Michaels.

My brother’s best friend, my sworn enemy, and now my new boss.

Three years ago, I let him deflower me.

A mistake that left me devastated. Scarred. Wounded. Hurt.

I’ve hated him all these years,

Thinking of ways I can make him pay back for what he did.

And fate makes sure our paths cross once again.

Did I say he’s still as charming as ever?

I’m falling for him yet again,

But then I remind myself that forgiveness is off the table,

He needs to know that he’s the biggest regret of my life,

And no matter how hard he tries, I will never trust him.

Not even with a baby on the way.

And that is why this will be my little secret. 

But when a history class assignment pairs Edwin with Parker Haddaway, the mysterious new girl at school, she introduces him to Garland Lenox, the nursing-home-bound World War II veteran who will change Edwin's life forever. 

The three escape to France, in search of the old man's long-lost love, and as word of their hilarious adventure spreads, they become media darlings. But when things fall apart, they also become the focus of French authorities. In a race against time, who will find love, and who will only find more heartache?

Brief Synopsis:

As a member of a New York Mafia family, Levi Yoder's role is unique: he's a fixer, a solver of problems, a man whose code puts loyalty above all else, yet he's a man with a conscience. An angel in wolf's clothing.

In THE INSIDE MAN, Levi's search for the kidnapped grandchild of a Japanese mob boss plunges him into a world filled with chaos.

When he's falsely accused of a heinous series of crimes, the FBI makes Levi an offer he can't refuse: use his mob connections to help investigate the murders of several undercover agents or find himself in jail awaiting trial, without a way to clear his name.

With the threat of incarceration hanging over his head and the life of a five-year-old at stake, Levi finds himself tracking a serial killer who he fears might lead him to suspects that are very close to home.

Jail or the life of an innocent little girl, Levi's left with no choice.

From the award-winning master of horror and Afrofuturism Tananarive Due comes a modern-classic of dark introspection.

When Jessica marries David, he is everything she wants in a family man: brilliant, attentive, ever youthful. Yet she still feels something about him is just out of reach. Soon, as people close to Jessica begin to meet violent, mysterious deaths, David makes an unimaginable confession: More than 400 years ago, he and other members of an Ethiopian sect traded their humanity so they would never die, a secret he must protect at any cost. Now, his immortal brethren have decided David must return and leave his family in Miami. Instead, David vows to invoke a forbidden ritual to keep Jessica and his daughter with him forever.

Harrowing, engrossing and skillfully rendered, My Soul to Keep traps Jessica between the desperation of immortals who want to rob her of her life and a husband who wants to rob her of her soul.

That one night changed everything!

I let my gorgeous, ripped, and filthy rich boss take my innocence.

This was supposed to be just fun – a no strings attached, one night stand.

And this was definitely not supposed to get me pregnant!
 

Yep, the test result is positive,

And I can’t let my baby daddy know about it.

He’s ten years older than me,

And well…let’s say, it’s complicated.

So, I run away from his life,

Carrying my little secret with me.

Until…four years later, I meet him again…at a charity auction.

He looks just as yummy as ever,

Same green eyes as my (our) son’s,

The same heated desire as our first night together.

Someone get me a manual with clear instructions on how to deal with a second one night stand with the same person,

Oh…and how to hide this HUGE secret !

The past isn't over, it's an opening. The future isn't hidden, it's a trap.
If she ever wants to see him again, she'll have to take the risk...

Publishers Weekly Starred Review: "Funny, Romantic & Harrowing!"

When offered a one-way trip to the past, Iz sacrifices everything for a chance to change her dystopian future—and see her murdered lover one last time.

After a perilous journey through a black hole, she wakes up on a tropical beach, buck naked and mortally wounded—but twenty years younger! With only hours to live, she must convince an enraptured but skeptical twenty-something guy to fix their future relationship and thereby save the planet (no one is quite sure why.)

But it's easier said than done, as success means losing him to a brainy, smart-mouthed bombshell (her younger self), and that's a heartbreaker, save the world or not.

Across the infinite expanse of space and time, love endures...

(Unfortunately, it’s not going to be enough.)

FALL INTO THIS EDGY, action-packed, darkly comedic, dystopian love story, and be prepared to encounter a finicky time machine, a mysterious seashell, and a very clever dog (some sex, some swearing, some violence, but no vampires and absolutely no ditzes.)

The most priceless American manuscript in existence has unceremoniously dropped into Paul Mcdonald's hands--now what?

In between much-needed therapy sessions, Paul's neurotic friend Booker the burglar stole it from his dad’s girl friend’s roommate, and now wants sometime-sleuth Paul to find its rightful owner. Because he’s pretty sure the roommate's not it.

Paul is so awed he can hardly bring himself to touch it. It’s none other than the missing holograph of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. And Beverly the roommate's no librarian, she’s a flight attendant, so Booker suspects chicanery. He’s only too right: Beverly, it turns out, is dead. Murdered for the manuscript, if Paul’s guess is right.

He finds out it’s in high demand from a zany collection of collectors, Huckleberry Fiends of all stripes of crazy, every single one of them capable of murder. Suddenly he’s the protagonist of A Literary Nightmare, surrounded by Mysterious Strangers, playing out A Double-Barrelled Detective Story involving A Stolen White Elephant and pretty much Roughing It with the bullying Homicide Inspector Howard Blick.

I need a woman to help me shut up my big Greek family.

And my new intern is perfect for the job, though pretending to have a relationship with her might be a little taboo.

Good thing I'm in charge.

Being a self-made billionaire, I haven't spent much time looking for love.

None actually.

Lucky for me, it's fallen right into my lap.
 

A SERIAL KILLER IS SAYING IT WITH FLOWERS...

In the fourth installment of Kimberly Amato’s chilling hard-boiled mystery series, badass detective Jasmine Steele is back -- and shockingly, to herself most of all -- she’s as happy as she’s ever been.

She and her brilliant psychologist partner Frankie are planning a wedding that’s been years in the making, and she’s settled into a new chapter of life with her nephew-turned-adopted son, Chase. But the good life turns out to be more fleeting than the detective’s caffeine withdrawals.

Jasmine, or Jazz, to her friends, gets a rude awakening when a 3-year-old cold case comes back hot. New York City’s “Carnation Killer,” a serial rapist and murderer, leaves his fifth calling card on a woman named Emilia Smith. The calling card? A heart-shaped carving into the woman’s chest and a single white carnation.

On the creep spectrum, Jazz puts this killer somewhere between Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac Killer. And her veteran right hand man is on medical leave.

She’s joined instead by temporary partner Detective Sydney Locke, a welcome new character. Sydney’s pretty green but has a fiery determination and talent for the beat that Jazz recognizes within minutes. Soon enough, they’ve got a mentor/protégé thing going – which certainly comes in handy at their often patriarchal workplace.

And it turns out Jazz and Syd will need that and more when the military gets involved with the investigation-- because the victim is none other than the daughter of a high-ranking official, and the brass knows more than they’re saying.

What the team do know is that Emilia’s last night alive was spent at a college bar that sparks Jasmine’ least happy memory –the very same establishment that served as a backdrop to her own early adult years, a past defiled and traumatized by a dangerous man.Just as Jazz is finally ready to be happy, her bone-chilling trauma comes rushing back. And the Carnation Killer is still out there.

Set in London and Russia at the turn of the century, Susana Aikin’s debut introduces a vibrant young woman determined to defy convention and shape an extraordinary future.
 
Like other well-bred young women in Edwardian England, Lily Throop is expected to think of little beyond marriage and motherhood. Passionate about the stage, Lily has very different ambitions. To her father’s dismay, she secures an apprenticeship at London’s famous Imperial Theatre. Soon, her talent and beauty bring coveted roles and devoted admirers. Yet to most of society, the line between actress and harlot is whisper-thin. With her reputation threatened by her mentor’s vicious betrayal, Lily flees to St. Petersburg with an acting troupe—leaving her first love behind.
 
Life in Russia is as exhilarating as it is difficult. The streets rumble with talk of revolution, and Lily is drawn into an affair with Sergei, a Count with fervent revolutionary ideals. Following Sergei when he is banished to Vladivostok, Lily struggles to find her role in an increasingly dangerous world. And as Russian tensions with Japan erupt into war, only fortitude and single-mindedness can steer her to freedom and safety at last.
 
With its sweeping backdrop and evocative details, We Shall See the Sky Sparkling explores a fascinating period in history through the eyes of a strong-willed, singular heroine, in a moving story of love and resilience.

Michael Shipley experienced the wonders of ancient Rome, slept his way through Greece (No I mean he really was sleeping...) and now it’s his time to shine in Cairo, Egypt...

Having survived the breakup of the century that was ten months ago, yet felt like yesterday, he decided to go it alone and explore the world (okay so a very small area:) by taking an international cruise!

So he signed up for a private tour group.  And there he was, tall, brown haired-blue eyed god, charismatic and oh so cute in glasses.  They were on the same tour bus in Rome, but tall and blue eyed was with some cute girl.  Michael could dream right?!

Imagine his surprise when blue eyed sat down next to him on their way to Cairo.  With a smile that could light up New York City, the man extended his hand and said, “Hi, I’m Brian..."

Two strangers exploring Ancient Egypt together. Where will fate lead them...

Me.
The good girl.
I can't believe I'm about to say this.
But I'm lusting over two men.

When a drug dealer is out for my blood,
Rafe and Leo are my only hope.
Rafe, the protective self-defense instructor.
And Leo, the sexy playboy firefighter.
Team up to protect me.
The two beefy, alpha men are my obsession.
I think of their rough hands touching my skin.
Them sharing me in ways that are so wrong but feel so right.
I've been a good girl all my life.
Good and... in control.
Maybe it's time I surrender myself to my ultimate fantasy.
Let them own me.
Get double dirty.

So, now when my enemy attacks...
Two sets of strong arms have my back.

When Grant Daniels is unexpectedly discharged from the Marines, he heads back to his childhood home of Moon Lake, Idaho to run his family’s lodge. The place has seen better days and so has he. The wedding party from hell (actually New York City) checks in, complete with paparazzi and a Bridezilla. Nothing in his training has prepared him for an invasion of this scale.

Legend has it that if you look into the still waters of Moon Lake on the full moon, you’ll see the face of your true love on the water. Paige Ross doesn’t need fairy tales, though. She’s got a ring on her finger and a white dress stuffed in the back of her closet. There’s no backing out now, even if her impending nuptials feel more like a prison sentence for a crime she didn’t commit.

The moonlight shows her things she never knew existed, including a gruff ex-Marine that Paige knows she shouldn’t be looking at. She should stay away; she’s about to say “I do.” But Grant Daniels pulls at her like gravity. The moon is rising and the wedding bells are sounding more and more like an alarm.

What will she see when she looks in the water? A marriage… or a Marine?

Leadership requires a mindset of wisdom which brings order inspired by love. Without love and empathy, leadership becomes exploitative, abusive, or tyrannous. Sometimes, we find ourselves thrust in positions of leadership without the mental foundation to handle it. This can create a lot of pressure but can also provide opportunities to learn and grow through experience. Some of the main ideas we will explore here in relation to purpose are:

-Thoughts for meditation on leadership

-The challenges that occur when we find ourselves in leadership positions without the right mindset

-The mindset needed for leadership

-Taking leadership of our minds

-Leading with empathy
