Pages : 258
Book Description
They say there's no such thing as second chances... Troy: I'm a country-boy at heart. The only thing I ever wanted to do - the only thing I could do - was play football. So when I made it to the top I lived the way any other guy with a multi-million dollar contract and a bumper crop of willing women would. Sure, I knew the party wouldn't go on forever. I just didn't know it would end so abruptly - or that I would be the one ending it. I didn't know I was going to fall in love...Anna doesn't know the truth. She doesn't know I only did what I did to protect her. Now all I have to do is break down the brick wall she's built around her heart and make her understand that my life doesn't mean anything without her in it. Easy, right?Anna: I didn't even know who Troy Beckman was when I met him on that chilly autumn night in New York City. All I knew was I'd just gotten the worst news of my life and I needed something - anything - to take my mind off the fact that all those brutal hours in the ballet studio might have been for nothing. I should have paid more attention. I should have known. Maybe I could have avoided having my face splashed all over the tabloids and my reputation ruined? All I know is he made me feel things I'd never felt before and he met needs I didn't even know I had...And then he abandoned me. Now I've got a broken heart, a phone full of unanswered calls and a belly getting bigger by the day. Do I dare trust the man who caused all three? A novel about big city ambitions, broken dreams and the healing power of love. Author's note: 'The Ballerina and The Baller' is a full-length (60k), standalone romance novel with a guaranteed HEA. It contains adult themes and language and is intended for readers over 18.

Book Description
The Oxford English Dictionary is the ultimate authority on the usage and meaning of English words and phrases, and a fascinating guide to the evolution of our language. It traces the usage, meaning and history of words from 1150 AD to the present day. No dictionary of any language approaches the OED in thoroughness, authority, and wealth of linguistic information. The OED defines over half a million words, and includes almost 2.4 million illustrative quotations, providing an invaluable record of English throughout the centuries. The 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary is the accepted authority on the evolution of the English language over the last millennium. It is an unsurpassed guide to the meaning, history, and pronunciation of over half a million words, both present and past. The OED has a unique historical focus. Accompanying each definition is a chronologically arranged group of quotations that trace the usage of words, and show the contexts in which they can be used. The quotations are drawn from a huge variety of international sources - literary, scholarly, technical, popular - and represent authors as disparate as Geoffrey Chaucer and Erica Jong, William Shakespeare and Raymond Chandler, Charles Darwin and John Le Carré. In all, nearly 2.5 million quotations can be found in the OED . Other features distinguishing the entries in the Dictionary are authoritative definitions of over 500,000 words; detailed information on pronunciation using the International Phonetic Alphabet; listings of variant spellings used throughout each word's history; extensive treatment of etymology; and details of area of usage and of any regional characteristics (including geographical origins).
