Book Description
Wyatt My name is Wyatt Blake. I'm a cardiothoracic surgeon in Phoenix. When I was 17, I had a heart transplant that saved my life. That's not something I tell just anyone, because I hate being defined by the illness that ruled the first half of my life. The average life expectancy for a transplant patient is 11 years. I'm 34, and in case math isn't your thing, that puts me about six years past my expiration date when I spend a weekend at my buddy Jason's wedding in Miami and meet the sexiest bridesmaid in the history of sexy bridesmaids. Dee Giordino. She's sweet, kind, loving and drop-dead gorgeous. I love every minute I spend with her. We had so much fun together at the wedding, and when I invited her back to my room after, we had the best night I've ever had with anyone. And now I can't stop thinking about her or texting her or wishing our one-night stand could somehow be more, even though "more" isn't in my vocabulary. When Jason tells me there's an opening in my specialty at his hospital, I come running back to Miami to interview for the job. And to see Dee again, even though I know that's completely unfair to her. In light of my situation, I've become the king of the one-night stand. It wouldn't be fair to drag someone else into my reality when my future is so uncertain. But Dee, she's different from the beginning, and maybe, just maybe, I might have to break all my rules for her... Fair or not.

Book Description
Winter had it hard growing up. Hell, she still has it hard. She went from hell on Earth for the majority of her childhood and even some of her adulthood while living under her mother's roof. Her mother, Sandra, was not only physically abusive, but she was mentally abusive, verbally, and psychologically as well. Not many people expressed their love for Winter, so when the first guy said those three words that many people yearn to hear (I love you), Winter instantly fell head over heels for him. Her relationship turned out to be a big facade. In fact, it only existed to Winter because he already had someone to love. With love lost and now two kids to raise on her own, Winter had hit rock bottom. They say that when you hit rock bottom, you don't always stay there for long. Cortez is his name, but everyone knows him as Boss because that's exactly who he is and what he exemplifies. Boss is in a position to upgrade Winter's life and remove her from her temporary struggle, but he doesn't want anything in return. With all the kindness that Boss has shown Winter, it sure as hell isn't hard for her to have love for a boss!

Cuba Confidential
Author: Ann Louise Bardach
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307425428
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
From America’s number one Cuba reporter, PEN award–winning investigative journalist Ann Louise Bardach, comes the big book on Cuba we’ve all been waiting for. An incisive and spirited portrait of the twentieth century’s wiliest political survivor and his fiefdom, Cuba Confidential is the gripping story of the shattered families and warring personalities that lie at the heart of the forty-three-year standoff between Miami and Havana. Famous to many Americans for her cover stories and media appearances, Ann Louise Bardach has been covering Cuba for a decade. She’s talked to the crooks, spooks and politicians who have made history, and to their hired assassins and confidants. Based on exclusive interviews with Fidel Castro, his sister Juanita, his former brother-in-law Rafael Díaz-Balart, the family of Elián González, the friends and family of the legendary American fugitive Robert Vesco, the intrepid terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, and the inner circles of Jeb Bush and the late exile leader Jorge Mas Canosa, Cuba Confidential exposes the hardball take-no-prisoners tactics of the Cuban exile leadership, and its manipulation and exploitation by ten American presidents. Bardach homes in on Fidel Castro and his cronies, taking us closer than we’ve ever been—and on the militant exiles who have devoted their lives, with CIA connivance, to trying to eliminate him. From Calle Ocho to Juan Miguel González’s kitchen table in Cárdenas, from Guantánamo Bay to Union City to Washington, D.C., Ann Louise Bardach serves up an unforgettable portrait of Cuba and its exiles.
