Book Description
A magnificent new romance by New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase. Dean Walker is all about keeping life simple. He's effortlessly talented and intelligent—spending his summers playing drums in the local band and the rest of the year teaching high school in the same Jersey town where he grew up. He likes his love life simple too, enjoying the commitment-free hook-ups his good looks and sexy charm have always made oh so easy. Then he meets Lainey Burrows. And his simple, easy life gets turned upside down. One wild one-night stand was all it was ever supposed to be, so Lainey is shocked when she discovers that her sizzling summer fling is also her son's new math teacher. But that's nothing compared to the most unexpected twist of all—their hot hook-up left Lainey knocked up, and now they're about to become parents. Together. What ensues is an addictive, insatiable, sweet and tender romance that won't be simple, but it will be more than worth the fight. "This story was fast paced, wickedly sharp and, brought to life by supremely stellar narration, it's another unputdownable story I never wanted to end." –Jessica, Angie and Jessica's Dreamy Reads "Getting Played is equal parts funny, sexy, sweet and moving and is superbly narrated by the well-matched team of Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber, who deftly portray both the lighthearted, humorous banter and the more emotional dialogue and intimate moments. The story pulled me in from the start and kept me thoroughly engaged and entertained until it’s sigh-worthy, romantic happily ever after, and it is guaranteed to give the listener all the feels." –Mary Dube, Frolic Media "Getting Played is a downright panty melting, sweep you off your feet audiobook! Throw in the dynamic narration of Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber, that just brought the storyline to a whole new level bliss!! Get ready to have your audio dreams come to life!" –Heather Pollock, Audio Reviewer

Book Description
Read people, bet wisely, and strategize to win: “You’ll be able to see what’s happening under the surface at work, and prepare for whatever may be ahead.” —Marshall Goldsmith, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Triggers In this guide, a career advisor reveals the tells, blind spots, secrets, and unspoken rules you need to know in order to play the game—and even win against those who’ve been dealt better cards, like high-status college degrees or family connections (or just a more supportive boss). The most successful people don’t rely on luck—because they know it always comes and goes. Instead, they prepare for the setbacks that are inevitable in any job and use smart strategies to manage them. In Workplace Poker, Dan Rust gives you the strategies you need to accelerate your career, and prevent setbacks from stalling your progress or spiraling it downward. The trick, he reveals, is to “play the game under the game.” If you’re talented, ambitious, and hardworking, but feel your career is frustratingly bogged down, you’ll find insight and skills to adapt to every hurdle, turning adversity into advantage and struggle into strength, including: • Recognizing your own “blind spots” and what to do about them • Mastering strategic and authentic self-promotion • Enhancing your personal charm and likeability • Achieving the high energy, both mental and physical, necessary to drive an exceptional career trajectory • Developing an interest in “corporate anthropology” and the complex human dimensions of business • Neutralizing the career-stalling impact of difficult or dysfunctional colleagues • Owning—and learning from—career missteps and failures Smart, funny, and relatable, Rust shares stories of individuals who’ve applied these capabilities in real world situations, and provides short, focused exercises to help you think about yourself and your own career. With Workplace Poker ̧ you can get out of you own way—and play to win.

Pages : 128
Book Description
How to Attract Men Worth Dating and Get the Guy You Really Want When it comes to finding a suitable mate for a passion filled, committed relationship, one of the things men want most in a woman is self-possession, or said another way, womanly poise. When high-quality men come across a woman with poise they crave her respect, her approval, and most importantly, her love. Men like this understand that a woman''s poise reflects her self-worth. And they know that a woman can only act with poise when she''s placed a higher importance on her dignity and well-being than she does on ANY man. It is this unique female attitude that drives a man wild with sustainable desire, the kind of desire that makes him eager to commit to a woman and claim her as his own. How to Attractively Set Standards with a Man and Make Him Want You Even More When a woman lacks poise she generally gives too much of herself, and usually at the most ineffective times when dating a man. She is too lenient with men in the beginning stages of a new romance, and she''s prone to compromising her standards just to keep a man in her life. Women like this unknowingly chase men, as they become frantic, frustrated, and foolhardy whenever the guy they want begins to pull away or lose interest in them. A woman with poise never chases or throws herself at a man, nor does she make things easy for him by clearing her schedule "just in case" he calls or comes around. Instead, a woman with poise maintains her mystery, sticks to her standards, and uses her feminine charms to invite men to either pursue her passionately or leave her alone. How to Date like a High-Value Woman and Be Irresistible to Mr. Right It''s easy to show class and character when things are going your way with a guy. But your ability to remain unfazed amid his disrespect or disinterest is what really helps him determine whether you are a high-value woman or not. A man will not always act in ways that are favorable to you. Sure, some men are scumbags, but not all men who act thoughtlessly towards you should be categorized this way. Therefore, if you want to separate the good guys from the time wasters it''s important to act with poise. This book was designed for women who want to go from being powerless to being irresistible to men. In it, you''ll discover the secrets to having more confidence and power with men and dating as you learn the beliefs, attitudes, dating rules, "love habits", and seduction secrets of the high-value woman. Here''s what you''re going to learn inside: What to say when you want to "slow things down" with a guy without losing his interest in you. The most seductive first date "good deed" that can CAPTURE a man''s desire and make him desperate to see you again. The #1 key to conquering a man''s heart during the early dating stages. (This is something most women only figure out after YEARS of painful trial and error.) How to get a boyfriend by avoiding a HUGE relationship-killing mistake most women make within the first few weeks of dating. The single most irresistible feminine attitude that easily overwhelms a man''s emotions and makes it IMPOSSIBLE for him to get you off his mind. How to get a man to treat you like a top priority (instead of his Plan B) once you start dating him. How to maintain the "Queen''s Composure" when men pull away and how to use it to make the good ones come RUNNING back to you. The "dating rules" high-value women use to quickly eliminate players and find Mr. Right. And much, much more... Would You Like to Know More?
