Book Description
This hot-headed rookie needs discipline—on and off the field. Pitcher Nico Agresta is desperate to live up to his family’s baseball legacy. Since he was a teenager crushing on his big brother’s teammate, he’s known he can’t act on his desires. His father’s made it clear there should be no queers on the field, but if Nico can win Rookie of the Year like his dad and brother did, maybe he can prove he’s worthy after all. At 34, veteran catcher Jake Fitzgerald just wants to finish out his contract and retire. His team doesn't have a prayer of making the playoffs, but who needs the stress? Jake lost his passion for the game—and life—after driving away the man he loved, and he swore he’d never risk his heart again. Then he’s traded to a team that wants a vet behind the plate to tame their new star pitcher. Jake is shocked to find the gangly kid he once knew has grown into a gorgeous young man. But tightly wound Nico’s having trouble controlling his temper in his quest for perfection, and Jake needs to teach him patience and restraint on the mound. When their push and pull explodes into the bedroom, Nico and Jake will both learn how much they’ll risk for love. This gay sports romance from Keira Andrews features men who have been repressing their feelings far too long, light BDSM, an age difference, sweaty locker rooms, and of course a happy ending.

Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
"Laura Lynne Jackson is a psychic medium and the author of the New York Times bestseller The Light Between Us. She possesses an incredible gift--the ability to communicate with loved ones who have passed, convey messages of love and healing, and impart a greater understanding of our interconnectedness. Though her abilities are exceptional, they are not unique, and that is the message at the core of this book. Understanding "the secret language of the universe" is a gift available to all. As we learn to ask for and recognize signs from the other side, we will start to find meaning where before there was only confusion, we will see light in the darkness. We may decide to change paths, push toward love, pursue joy, and engage with life in a whole new way. In Signs, Jackson is able to bring the mystical into the everyday. She relates stories of people who have experienced these uncanny revelations and instances of unexplained synchronicity, as well as those drawn from her own experience. There's the producer whose lost child appears to her as a deer that approaches her unhesitatingly at a highway rest stop; the name tag of an ER nurse that lets a terrified wife know that her husband will be okay; the Elvis Presley song that arrives at the exact time of her own father's passing; and many others. This is a book that is both inspiring and practical, deeply comforting and wonderfully motivational in asking us to see beyond ourselves to a more magnificent universal design"--

"The poems in Janis Freegard's new collection take their starting point from the poet's daily ritual of reading the tea leaves while writing in the Ema Saiko room in the Wairarapa. This leads to unexpected discoveries about the world around her, from spider visitors to the writing room and a papyrus-fine gecko skin in the nearby wildlife sanctuary, to news of the ancient bdelloid rotifers that defy natural disasters and the recently extinct amphibians that did not. Then a gender- and species-fluid interpreter turns up to help the poet work her way through the daily revelations in her tea cup ... Reading the Signs is a series of linked poems that are thoughtful and humorous, provocative and tender, and come together as a quiet epic about a planet that is fast running out of puff"--Back cover.

Book Description
Every day, whether or not you notice it, you are engaged in negotiating and reading other people's body language. When done in a casual setting with family or friends, it's usually a quick, easy, and enjoyable process. However, when you engage in negotiating and reading other people's body language in the work place, it can be a completely different situation because these situations usually have higher stakes. In the workplace, not being able to negotiate efficiently or not being able to read other people's body language will, can, and does have adverse consequences. At best, it may lead to disruption in the workplace. At worst, it could lead to you losing your benefits, your rank, or your job altogether. Being a good negotiator as well as a good body language reader will enable you become a more efficient, more pleasant, and altogether, more productive employee, co-worker, or boss. In this book, you will be able to discover and understand the art of negotiations, as well as how you can benefit from being able to conduct a proper negotiation. You will also know what qualities a good negotiator should possess, as well as how to properly prepare for a negotiation so that you can put yourself in the position to get the best outcome possible. Also, you will discover what to avoid doing and saying in order to avoid negotiations gone bad, and if worse comes to worst, how to be able to salvage a negotiation that has gone sour. Most importantly, you will learn what it takes to be able to close a negotiation on your own terms. In relation to the aforementioned topic, you will also learn the importance of being able to read, understand, and adapt to body language in the workplace and in negotiations. You will learn the importance of body language in everyday communication, and how to read positive and negative indicators in other people's body language. You will also discover what to look out for when it comes to body language to be able to gauge how well (or bad) a negotiation is going. By understanding these two things separately and in relation to one another, you will be able to place yourself in a situation wherein you can become a successful negotiator as well as an adapt reader of body language, and thus, be able to come out on top when it comes to your relationships in your personal and business life.
