Book Description
Newlywed women are disappearing in West Haven and the cops insist there is no serial killer stalking brides. But when proposal planner Claire Hartley's former college roommate disappears without a trace, she decides to get to the bottom of the disappearances. Claire's no detective. She's made a name for herself making other girls' dreams come true. And right now, she has it all: an in-demand business that turns custom marriage proposals into guaranteed yeses, a tight circle of margarita-swilling girlfriends, and a rescued Corgi that will hopefully stop pooping in her closet any day now. But when the killer sends her a creepy present from the past she realizes just how close she is to becoming his next victim. Claire has to put her client research (ahem, stalking) skills to work to find the killer before he finds her. In the meantime, she's got her hands full with an egotistical filmmaker with biceps for days who thinks proposals are a joke and a psychotic competitor out to ruin her business and her life. Not to mention pulling off the top-secret proposal of the century. Can she make it through proposal season with her perfect track record intact...and her life?

Planning from Below

ISBN: 1583677577
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
A simple and revolutionary toolbox to help any group create an actual and functioning democracy In this book, Marta Harnecker, with Spanish economist José Bartolomé, shares some of her wisdom on how communities everywhere can gain empowerment. For, when impoverished people became involved in the planning process, they no longer feel like beggars demanding solutions from the state; they become the creators of their own destiny. Set out in two parts; this book first demonstrates the importance of community participants working outside a hierarchy, to allow as much decentralization as possible. The second part of the book centers on the methodology of this process: the various tasks taken on by participants and how, in planning processes over years, they are carried out.

Loved this one, and you will too.”—New York Times bestselling author Roxane Gay The New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Date serves up a novel about what happens when a public proposal doesn't turn into a happy ending, thanks to a woman who knows exactly how to make one on her own... When someone asks you to spend your life with him, it shouldn't come as a surprise—or happen in front of 45,000 people. When freelance writer Nikole Paterson goes to a Dodgers game with her actor boyfriend, his man bun, and his bros, the last thing she expects is a scoreboard proposal. Saying no isn't the hard part—they've only been dating for five months, and he can’t even spell her name correctly. The hard part is having to face a stadium full of disappointed fans... At the game with his sister, Carlos Ibarra comes to Nik’s rescue and rushes her away from a camera crew. He’s even there for her when the video goes viral and Nik’s social media blows up—in a bad way. Nik knows that in the wilds of LA, a handsome doctor like Carlos can't be looking for anything serious, so she embarks on an epic rebound with him, filled with food, fun, and fantastic sex. But when their glorified hookups start breaking the rules, one of them has to be smart enough to put on the brakes...

Book Description
He’s a grumpy former Navy SEAL who doesn’t believe in love. She’s a cheery wedding planner writing guide to happily ever afters. Who knew Cupid’s arrow could pack such a punch for the unlikeliest of couples. When Daisy Sinclair gleefully offers to help her brother come up with the perfect proposal, she has no idea how time-consuming the project will become. Or, how it would make her the target of mockery from one rather grumpy former SEAL. Xander thinks he’s got her all figured out. She is determined to prove him wrong. Just because she’s more cheer than sneer doesn’t give him the right to pass judgment on her. As the son of a woman who walked away from her family, Xander Madden couldn’t be more disillusioned when it comes to love. Which makes Daisy’s ridiculously chipper ramblings about the wonders of love all the more irritating. Still, there’s something about her that he can’t ignore. Although…he probably should, considering every time he opens his mouth, he says the wrong thing. Just when Xander thinks he can avoid the trappings of her sunny disposition, Daisy sneaks past all his defenses and suddenly she’s all he can think about. The pair have nothing in common except an undeniable attraction. Is a future for them possible when Daisy’s looking for forever and Xander can’t even commit to tomorrow?
