Drugs. Alcohol. Fame. Just a few of my addictions. It’s time to kick every last one of them because they’re slowly killing me. I flush the drugs. Empty the bottles of booze. Quit the movie I’m supposed to begin filming next week. I commit career suicide and head to the middle of nowhere to get clean. They send me a sober companion to hold my hand. Only problem is, they send my greatest weakness. Jessica Calvary. I’m screwed. Jack Kingsley. Hollywood elite. Hot, cocky and untouchable. Everyone wants a piece of him. Everyone but me. I’ve had my piece of Jack, and it broke me. Now he’s smack bang in the middle of my life again. He’s still hot. And cocky. But he’s not untouchable. No, he’s very touchable, and he’s doing everything to get my hands on him. Pray for me.

The Incredible Shrinking Alpha
Author: Larry E. Swedroe
Publisher: Buckingham
ISBN: 9780692336519
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Alpha still exists! But that doesn't mean it is easy to find, or even worth the pursuit. Larry Swedroe, author of the bestselling series of "The Only Guide" investment books, and co-author Andrew Berkin bring you the quantitatively chilling tale of "The Incredible Shrinking Alpha." As aficionados of classic science fiction, Swedroe and Berkin saw similarities between the monumental struggle of Scott Carey, novelist Richard Matheson's Incredible Shrinking Man, and that of every individual investor trying to beat the market. Swedroe and Berkin explain in academic yet simple terms what is happening to the alpha for which so many investors yearn. Offering compelling data from decades of academic research, Swedroe and Berkin present the hard truth as they know it - it's not worth the time or effort spent battling to win those few extra cake crumbs. Instead, focus on the things you can control and discover what life has to offer beyond the quest for alpha.

Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
From New York Times bestselling author Donna Grant comes another action-packed installment in her thrilling Reaper series, featuring a brotherhood of elite assassins who wage war on the Fae at Death's behest—and the women who dare to love them. There is no escaping a Reaper. I am an elite assassin, part of a brotherhood that only answers to Death. And when Death says your time is up, I’m coming for you… I’ve been a part of so many different worlds I’m not sure who I am or where I fit in anymore. Honestly, with everything I’ve been through, being called across realms and encountering the beautiful Druid who instantly captures my attention—and my heart—shouldn’t have surprised me. But it did. Not as much as discovering how it feels to brush against her magic, however. Now, we must navigate these new waters and fight against our latest threat, hoping that our combined power and that of our allies is enough to defeat our foe. Because the Fae Others want to end the Reapers and take over the realm, and their leader is one of the most formidable enemies we’ve ever faced. The battle won’t be easy, but with this strong, resilient mortal by my side and some help from our friends, it’s a fight I’m more than willing to enter—as long as it means she’s by my side. Forever.
