Nothing's more important to twenty-five-year-old goth girl Zara Kissette than making her bones in the art world. When a fire destroys her paintings, she needs two things to fulfill the art gallery's contract for multiple masterpieces--a quick hit of cash for supplies, and a way to rekindle her creativity. Otherwise, she can kiss her career-making gallery spot good-bye. So she reluctantly returns to a lucrative gig as a fantasy princess/face painter, where she meets a hot, divorced dad who could bring a spark to her life...or ruin everything. Brendan Stewart is doing all he can to keep the world a soft and stable place for his beloved little girl. While his ex breezes in and out of their daughter's life, he's determined be her rock. The last thing he needs is another relationship to balance with the rest of his life. That is, until a gorgeous princess shows up to paint faces at his daughter's birthday party. Zara's open heart and distracting curves tempt him to lower his defenses, despite having been burned before. Their romance is all cake and bubbles--and lots of steamy sex--until Zara betrays Brendan's trust for her shot at the gallery, and Brendan takes her career into his hands and, well, screws it up. If they can't make peace with each other's mistakes, they risk losing the one person who loves them for who they truly are.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
Fly on The Wall is beyond cutting edge. The Technological background of the book is already causing a Paradigm Shift in this country’s’ defense systems. This What if? Scenario makes any reader shudder at the possibilities. No longer, can this be considered Science Fiction. It exists today, on a scale of which the magnitude of its affect is incalculable. As we speak, the world is being altered at Light speed. Until now, no one has chronicled a fictional story around it. Fly on The Wall is as groundbreaking as Orson Wells “War of the Worlds” was to our Great Grand Parents with one major difference: The assumptions are not fiction. They are fact. In the hands of a genius with no moral compass to guide him, the outcome spells catastrophe. The reader is taken on a journey with more twists and turns than a clothes dryer.

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 643
Book Description
The contributors in this book identify and clearly discuss contemporary and critical issues, challenges and opportunities in HRM. The book attempts to achieve the delicate balance between basic HRM functions, and the new world of HRM. Moreover, in a dynamic field like HRM, a complete look at contemporary HRM issues, challenges, and opportunities is a must for today's and tomorrow's students and future manages and leaders. After all, it is important for any book to undertake a current state of the field while also bridging the gap of traditional HRM activities (i.e., issues, challenges and opportunities) and the possible future state of the HRM field. An organizing principle for this book is the need to for an integrated HRM system, comprised of multiple activities, designed to influence organizational and employee behaviors. The books contributors include some basic theories and models that simultaneously consider how HRM activities like recruitment, selection, reward practices, and development activities among others are being impacted by contemporary issues, challenges and opportunities for the field of HRM, particularly HRM functions and professional as they are increasingly expected to play a role in enabling organizational managers and other employees to achieve desired organizational results. Thus, the essence of the book is that the collective chapters reflect both a functional orientation built on theory and models but also provide insights into how to translate theory into practice via the establishment of the increasingly critical role HRM procedures, practices, and processes play in accomplishing the goals and objectives in contemporary organizations.
