The Wicked Widow Meets Her Match
Author: Stefanie Sloane
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0345538889
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Stefanie Sloane’s intoxicating series of rogues and romance continues as a handsome spy falls for a woman who proves quite dangerous—to his heart. Though resolute and driven by nature, dedicated spymaster Langdon Bourne has lost his way. Even his passion for his secret organization, the Young Corinthians, has waned—until he is assigned a mission with the potential to finally bring about the peace that has eluded him for nearly two decades. But to eliminate a brilliant, dangerous nemesis, Langdon needs the help of a woman whose loyalties are most uncertain. Grace Crowther ignores the rumors that persist after the death of her husband, a merciless doctor who won her in a card game. Is she truly the black widow that many believe? One look at her angelic face and one glimpse into her heavy heart tells Langdon all he needs to know about Grace—and his own deepest desires. He needs Grace, if he’s to have any chance of tracking down the leader of the nefarious gang known as the Kingsmen. And he wants her desperately, enough to forget the rules of a good spy and take risks no ordinary man would dare. For Grace has no reason to trust Langdon, or to help him. But somewhere deep inside she knows that he is the answer to her prayers. Praise for Stefanie Sloane and The Wicked Widow Meets Her Match “Strong protagonists, fully fleshed out secondary characters and a strong plot are just what readers crave, and the talented [Stefanie] Sloane brings them that and more in her sexy, nonstop read.

The Alpha Woman Meets Her Match
Author: Sonya Rhodes
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062309854
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Relationship therapist Sonya Rhodes's liberating, straight-talking guide convincingly argues that successful modern women—the audience who embraced Lean In—can find the right guy without having to change or settle, and tells them how to do it. In the twenty-first century, women are outpacing men in education and career advancement. Yet amazingly, successful women constantly hear that their professional achievements doom their chances of marriage and family. Don't believe the alarmist hype, advises top relationship therapist Dr. Sonya Rhodes. Today's Alpha women—ambitious, self-assured, and hardworking— aren't going to end up lonely spinsters. They don't have to settle for Mr. Good Enough. Echoing Sheryl Sandberg's powerful message, The Alpha Woman Meets Her Match shares the secret necessary to triumph in love and work: find the right partner. It can be done—and Dr. Rhodes has the tools to help. Going beyond value judgments associated with the terms Alpha and Beta, she advises women to look past the overly competitive, domineering Alpha male for a man who's in touch with his inner Beta qualities—someone who is communicative, responsible, thoughtful, and collaborative. Demonstrating that most people are a combination of both sets of qualities, she includes a revealing test to help readers define where they (and their partners) are on the Alpha-Beta spectrum.

Book Description
Eve is an eighteen-year-old spitfire in the Garden of Eden with an inverted moral compass and a comedically twisted view of the world. After having discovered a great truth about the universe from Satan, who calls himself Serpent, she decides to sneak into higher realms of consciousness and wants him to join her. He agrees, but part of the deal is that Eve reincarnates on Earth to perform a task for him first. After this last hurrah, which takes place in the ancient colony of Atlantis, he’ll gladly join her. However, her assignment ends up causing all of human civilization a tremendous amount of suffering. Despite fulfilling her end of the bargain, Serpent reneges on his promise. Feeling betrayed, Eve reincarnates on Earth once again, only this time seeking to serve God rather than Serpent. By this point on Earth, a powerful secret society has taken control of the world, and Eve will need the help of her human father to expose the group by hacking into worldwide media conglomerates. She should be cautious, though, because the people she has hurt in the past will show up now to torment her. Will she succeed in trying to expose the secret society? And will she ever be able to fully abandon Serpent, or will she seek vengeance against him for tricking her? [Contains some graphic violence, no romance].

Laura leans forward from her buggy and pulls on a three-sided, picture-frame style moulding on the wall that displays an advertisement. Oh my, she is demolishing it... and I am on the wrong side to stop her. It is about 3' long with two 18" side struts. She struggles to hold the frame up above her head then bangs one side onto the floor...CRASH!! I am rooted to the spot. All goes deathly quiet and in a loud and clear voice of authority Laura turns round and tells everyone. "It's broken to pieces!" Horrified I take the rest off her and intend to place the two remaining joined pieces on the floor. No such luck...one crashes down...oops! The manager appears scowling and I limply hand him the last bit. "Sorry it's not childproof" is all I can say in her defence. Laura's captive audience is spell-bound. I hear some giggling..........'
