Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author Sandi Lynn comes a brand new brothers series you'll want to devour! Sam I made a promise not to sleep with my new personal assistant. Too late. I'd already slept with her before I knew Grayson, my human resources director, hired her. Long story short. We first met at a café when she let me have the last apple turnover. Then I saw her again that same night at a bar. She was incredibly sexy, and she wanted me as much as I wanted her. We both agreed it was a one-time thing, and she left the following day. Imagine the shock on both our faces when she showed up for work on Monday. I wasn't a relationship type of guy and for good reasons. Julia Benton had her own reasons why she wasn't looking to get involved with anyone. So, continuing our sexual relationship was a win-win for both of us. But the more time we spent together, feelings I'd never felt before started to emerge. Then things became complicated, and she quit to pursue her dreams. I knew how much it meant to her, and I didn't care. Now that I'd lost her, I wanted, no, I needed her back in my life, and I would do anything to make sure that happened. Julia He was the sexy and domineering man who wore an expensive suit. A man who cracked the hard shell I'd built around myself for the past four years. I wasn't looking for someone to save me, but Sam unintentionally did just that. Then I was given a chance to pursue my lifelong dream. He tried to stop it from happening by showing me exactly who he was. My only focus now was starting the business I'd always wanted and leave Sam behind in the trail of a disaster he created between us. The problem was: he truly was one of a kind, and I had to use every bit of strength I had to forget him. 18+

How We Are
Author: Vincent Deary
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374713219
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
The first book in a major new trilogy, How to Live: How We Are, How We Break, and How We Mend We live in small worlds. How We Are is an astonishing debut and the first part of the monumental How to Live trilogy, a profound and ambitious work that gets to the heart of what it means to be human: how we are, how we break, and how we mend. In Book One, How We Are, we explore the power of habit and the difficulty of change. As Vincent Deary shows us, we live most of our lives automatically, in small worlds of comfortable routine—what he calls Act One. Conscious change requires deliberate effort, so for the most part we avoid it. But inevitably, from within or without, something comes along to disturb our small worlds—some News from Elsewhere. And with reluctance, we begin the work of adjustment: Act Two. Over decades of psychotherapeutic work, Deary has witnessed the theater of change—how ordinary people get stuck, struggle with new circumstances, and finally transform for the better. He is keenly aware that novelists, poets, philosophers, and theologians have grappled with these experiences for far longer than psychologists. Drawing on his own personal experience and a staggering range of literary, philosophical, and cultural sources, Deary has produced a mesmerizing and universal portrait of the human condition. Part psychologist, part philosopher, part novelist, Deary helps us to see how we can resist being habit machines, and make our acts and our lives more fully our own.
