Book Description
Lawyer Paxton Cates has his path to a judgeship all mapped out, except his bachelor status is keeping him off too many of the guest lists where all the real networking is done. So when Jolene "Ms. Goody-Two-Shoes" Joyner—the bane of his youth—calls him for help, he sees a chance for them to help each other. What’s a little quid quo pro between enemies? High school English teacher Jolene Joyner is in trouble for the first time in her perfect life. When she lands in jail, she needs to call her life-long nemesis for help. He’ll help—for a price. All she has to do is… Pose as Paxton’s fake girlfriend! Who’s going to believe that? And there’s one other teensy, weensy problem… After a lifetime of being good, Jo really loves being bad. In fact, she has plans to be bad more often. A good girl would warn Paxton, but a bad girl…she’ll let him figure it out for himself. You Can’t Hurry Love is a full-length, small-town enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy featuring a good girl going bad, a by-the-book lawyer going off script, a B & E to save a dog, and two people finally figuring out why they’ve rubbed each other the wrong way forever. No cheating. No cliffhanger. A romance with heat, humor, heart and a sigh-worthy HEA.

Book Description
Sometimes love is worth the wait. Sara Carlisle and Charlie Rhodes are complete opposites. Oil and water. Chalk and cheese. Before Sara even meets Charlie, she hates him. He's insulted her best friend -a woman Sara considers family- and that is unforgivable. In person he proves to be just as obnoxious and insufferable as she'd anticipated. And, as far as she's concerned, the fact that he's tall and muscular with an accent to die for is not enough to redeem him. Charlie Rhodes is an arrogant A--hole (with a capital A!) and that's all there is to it! For his part, Charlie thinks Sara is a conceited pain in the arse. A prissy princess to the nth degree. It becomes his prerogative to get under her skin for the sheer pleasure of riling her up. He feels genuine enjoyment in the face of her frustration, and he makes no secret of it. Besides, she gives as good as she gets! Fundamentally opposed in every way, it's obvious to those around them that they're not going to get along. But unfortunately, thanks to their respective families, they are stuck in each other's lives for the foreseeable future. Being civil is as good as it is going to get...or is it? When their relationship turns from reluctant acquaintances to red hot lovers, they find it's good. Really good. What could possibly go wrong? In a slow-burn romance that follows hot on the heels of Handle With Care*, Sara and Charlie discover that you really can't rush romance. *Both Handle With Care and You Can't Hurry Love can be read as standalone novels in the expanding Jukebox Collection series. Please be advised that this novel does contain adult themes that may not be considered appropriate for persons under 18 years of age.

ECPA BESTSELLER • A compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life “As someone all too familiar with ‘hurry sickness,’ I desperately needed this book.”—Scott Harrison, New York Times best-selling author of Thirst “Who am I becoming?” That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren’t pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: “Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.” It wasn’t the response he expected, but it was—and continues to be—the answer he needs. Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness, as a root of much evil. Within the pages of this book, you’ll find a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.

Book Description
"...engaging, intelligent, and surprisingly suspenseful." —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love The unforgettable New York Times best-selling journey of self-discovery and finding one's true calling in life Kathleen Flinn was a thirty-six-year-old middle manager trapped on the corporate ladder - until her boss eliminated her job. Instead of sulking, she took the opportunity to check out of the rat race for good - cashing in her savings, moving to Paris, and landing a spot at the venerable Le Cordon Blue cooking school. The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry is the funny and inspiring account of her struggle in a stew of hot-tempered, chefs, competitive classmates, her own "wretchedly inadequate" French - and how she mastered the basics of French cuisine. Filled with rich, sensual details of her time in the kitchen - the ingredients, cooking techniques, wine, and more than two dozen recipes - and the vibrant sights and sounds of the markets, shops, and avenues of Paris, it is also a journey of self-discovery, transformation, and, ultimately, love.

Book Description
One of the seminal groups of the Eighties, The Smiths' career was as brilliant as it was brief. Now, drawing on interviews with band members, producers, and colleagues, music journalist Simon Goddard presents a meticulous chronological survey of the group's musical evolution, from their first demos in 1982 to their final fractured studio session five years later. Investigating the stories behind the songs, and detailing every British TV and radio session, he also offers a unique analysis of each track's concert life. Granted unprecedented access to The Smiths' studio archives and to the private collection of outtakes and rehearsals retained by drummer Mike Joyce, the author lifts the lid on unreleased material as well as the lost songs and alternate versions that have remained closely guarded secrets until now.
