Book Description
He’s the best goalie in the league – Scotia Storm’s golden boy. Everyone loves the team’s biggest player – everyone but me. That’s okay, he doesn’t like me either. We might have grown up in the same small Cape Breton town, but we’re different people from different worlds. Which makes me wonder why our friends asked us to babysit during summer break. The forced proximity proves to be hard on my head…and my traitorous body. But the last thing I want is to get involved with the guy who blatantly ignored me growing up. Except he’s not ignoring me anymore. Nope, not ignoring me at all. Instead, he’s showering me with kisses and touches and OMG, things are so damn good, I forget why we hate each other. Until summer comes to a close and our past catches up to us, reminding me why we can never ever be anything more than enemies.

Book Description
He’s a defenseman on the academy’s hockey team – a well-known player on and off the ice. It’s a reputation he wears proudly…flaunts, even. The only one he has to look out for is himself. No one expects anything else. Thanks to past mistakes, I have a whole lot of responsibilities outside of the academy, and have no choice but to put others in my life first. They count on me, but you know what? I’m lonely. I guess that’s why I got all tangled up in the guy whose only focus is on hockey – and fun. What I hadn’t meant to do, however, was fall head over heels for the player who only wanted one thing from me. Can you say been there done that? But I think, underneath it all, there’s a lot more to him than even he knows and maybe his choices aren’t his own. Maybe someone else is pulling the strings. Either way, when past mistakes catch up with me again, the team’s biggest player must decide whether to follow the path carved out for him and walk away from me, or shape his own future, and become the man he keeps well hidden.

Crash Course in Dealing with Difficult Library Customers
Author: Shelley Elizabeth Mosley
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1610692845
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Libraries are public places—open to anyone and everyone. This book contains invaluable, practical tips for library staff who sometimes must deal with difficult or even dangerous individuals and situations. Every library experiences difficult patrons. Thorough preparation is the best defense: it's always much better to be proactive than reactive. The authors of Crash Course in Dealing with Difficult Library Customers realized that these kinds of situations are more universal than unique, despite the great variations in library environments and customer bases, and pooled their more than 100 years of experience to offer practical advice that will help library staff prepare for the many kinds of "worst case scenarios"—before they arise. The book identifies the basic types of problem-causing individuals, thoroughly overviews effective strategies for offsetting their actions, and explains how to successfully manage the stressful, emotionally charged situations that can arise. Drawing on their extensive real-world experience, the authors provide instructions for "last resort" options when dealing with illegal activities, acknowledge the rights of employees in difficult situations, and present strategies that will minimize staff members' stress levels when dealing with patrons. While this book will be extremely valuable to public library staff, it addresses common situations that can happen in public service at any type of library. Administrators who need to develop policies to protect their staff and their users will also find this unique work essential reading.

I was never a girl to drool over the hockey players at our academy—they’re all egotistical jerks. But since my father is the coach of Scotia Storms, everywhere I turn, there’s a player—in more ways than one. I’m smart enough to know they don’t just avoid me because I’m the coach’s daughter. They avoid me because I’m a nerdy drama student with no game. With winter break upon us, I plan to escape to Florida, to where no one knows my past. Or that I’m the butt of every hockey player’s joke. It’s true, I overheard the hurtful bet no player had the balls to take. Not that I’d hand over my pesky V-card to any of them. Nope, I plan to take care of that problem on a beach down south. Until the storm of the century throws a monkey wrench into my plans, and I find myself snowed-in with a smoking hot Southie. I figured he was the perfect guy to help me with my pesky problem—until my stupid heart got involved. How could I avoid it when he was sweet and kind, and so different from the guys at the academy? I begin to dream about our future, until the storm breaks and I realize he’s everything I never wanted and I’m everything that can destroy his future.

Pages : 243
Book Description
Meena Sakwa: A Rebel Reloaded is a fictional political thriller, which presents hope to the reader despite gruesome wars, corruption and despair in Azimbra, a fictitious Country in Africa, which embodies all of the African political, economic and war saga. Meena Sakwa is thrust into revenge when government soldiers massacre civilians at Zotab Market. He is determined to join forces with rebels to overthrow the president. He is successful with the help of mercenaries. He shocks his generals and aspiring soldiers who anticipate working alongside him in the new government by announcing that he would not interfere with the democratic process by declining to run for the presidency and bans all his generals and commanders from participating in any electoral races. His mission is to transfer power peaceably without the threat of militarization. His generals and commanders are disappointed and resentful and have made it obvious in their attempts to get him out of the picture through countless efforts to have him killed. Meena is vigilant in his decision to take his beloved country into the realm of freedom. He faces new challenges when he tries to get funds to compensate his disgruntled soldiers. Meena Sakwa attempts to trace the late president's stolen money but all his funds are untraceable in overseas, western banks. He petitions the International Court to have the country's money returned. It is an uphill battle finding where these monies are stashed away. He soon realizes getting his hands on Azimbra's money may not be possible without insider help. Meena Sakwa takes on other challenges as head of the African Rebuilding Alliance Agency, as mediator between warring factions, investigator and advisor to presidents, and challenges African leaders to turn from corruption and self-conceitedness to becoming visionary leaders who are legacy-oriented. Filled with suspense, thrill, war casualties, and hope, this novel exposes the reader to the African political and economic saga.
