KYLIE

My boyfriend introduced us.

He was handsome, charming, and sweet. We were friends.

Now everything’s changed.

When I see him, my heart hurts knowing I can’t have him. When I don’t see him, it hurts even more.

My boyfriend is supposed to make me feel protected. Make my body ache for his touch.

But it’s not my boyfriend who makes me feel that way.

It’s his father.

RYAN

I gave her a job to be nice.

She was the perfect fit for my company. I had no idea she’d be the perfect fit for me.

Every day we spend together, it gets harder to say goodnight.

I can’t touch her. She’s twenty-four and I’m forty-nine. And she’s my son’s girlfriend.

But he’s not treating her right. And I know I would.

She just asked me what she should do about their relationship.

What am I going to tell her?

A television dating show? What sensible woman does that?

Desperate times force drastic measures as thirty-two-year-old Sophie Baxter searches for Mr. Right Dom.

But for a shy submissive, five weeks on a reality show might be a bad decision. One decision is easy, however: the Dom she chooses won’t be an actor.

Dex Hampton… successful film actor, coveted bachelor, and England’s sexiest export, but for this mysterious, reserved Dominant, fame isn’t a goal. Finding the right submissive is his top priority, and he’ll do anything to get his girl.

Jake Sinclair’s golden good looks and rakish Aussie charm fuel his flourishing acting career. He does his own stunts and tackles life full on. He’s achieved everything he’s ever wanted, except finding the right submissive. When he sees Sophie, nothing will stop him from winning her. Not even the competition of his longtime friend and fellow Dominant, Dex Hampton.

As the entire world watches, two movie superstars compete for a beautiful submissive who is ready to yield in all ways but one: she will not have an actor as a Dom.

How can you improve your retirement planning?

This book doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. However, it will help you improve your retirement planning. Both those who are planning for retirement and those who are already retired will benefit from the teachings found inside.

Hours of live classroom instruction were distilled down to create a single text that’s short enough to be easily digestible, yet deep enough to hit the key points from in-person retirement planning courses taught by the book’s author.

The book is organized into seven chapters. Each chapter is dedicated to addressing important questions and concerns within one specific area of comprehensive retirement planning.

The end of each chapter includes a link to a short online self-assessment. Each self-assessment will ask you a series of multiple choice questions related to the topics covered during the chapter. After completing each assessment, a Confidence Score is automatically calculated and displayed.

What’s the purpose of the self-assessments?

The self-assessments serve two main roles. First, they’ll help you quickly identify strengths and areas for improvement in your retirement planning. Second, they’ll help you measure your progress. As you learn new things from the book, your Confidence Scores will improve. As your Confidence Scores improve, your retirement planning improves. Better planning ultimately means having a better chance to live an enjoyable retirement. That’s what this is all about.

• How can you control market risk during retirement?
• How can you control inflation risk during retirement?
• How will you use your investment portfolio to generate income?

• How will you be taxed on Social Security and pension income?
• How can you build tax-free assets into your retirement plan?

• How can you plan for rising health care costs?
• What does Original Medicare cover?
• How can you fill the gaps in Original Medicare coverage?

• What are the downsides of the probate process?
• Which of your assets would go through the probate process as of today?
• How can you strengthen your estate plan?
• How can you leave a legacy that makes a positive impact on the lives of others?

Those who diligently read each chapter and complete each self-assessment will benefit the most from this experience.

Lady Samantha Coburn has been ruined! 

Bodies begin to pile up, the victims seemingly random. At first it seems that the only thing connecting the crimes is that each murder was meticulously planned and executed.

When DCI Morton discovers that the latest victim, Primrose Kennard, was already at death’s door, he has to ask:

Who would bother to murder a dying woman?

A promise. A poison. A race to save a love balanced on the edge.
 

A brazen heist. A supernatural detective with a secret. A world of danger, passion, and suspense...

Eddie Vangh prefers to lay low and go about his business--and business is good. As a private investigator for the rich and elite, he’s paid to track down stolen valuables and uncover secrets...too bad he has one of his own.

Having been turned as a Vampire during WWII, Eddie is careful not to linger in one area for too long, and forming close connections is definitely out of the question.

However, when billionaire Spartak Newmark hires Eddie to unmask the persons behind a theft at Newmark’s estate, he knows he can’t turn this case down: first, because Newmark is a Vampire as well and knows Eddie’s nature almost better than he knows himself, and second, because the stolen items contain the bloodlines of the world’s oldest Vampires—which has dire consequences were they to fall into the wrong hands.

Between recovering the stolen Vampire blood and uncovering a trail of bodies, Eddie finds himself growing closer to Amelia, who also works for Newmark and is reluctant to share her own past. He questions if he could truly have a future with her, but one thing he’s sure of—if he doesn’t solve the case quickly, his may be the next body to turn up.

He's such a man.

And he still won't stop kissing me in random closets.

(Thank goodness.)

I'm a fixer. That's what I do. I can fix anything if given the chance. But when the game is fixed there's only so much I can do.
