Book excerpt: I avoid. It’s this thing I do. Like, right now, I’m avoiding talking about being dumped. Instead, I’m going to the bar, where my friend Elyse has a drink waiting and my friend Charlie is performing in drag. But they decide that a hookup is just what I need. That’s when I meet Jude. Jude is incredible, and then ... incredibly unavailable. Like, so unavailable. But, combined with advice from my siblings, I start seeing a counselor to talk about how I avoid. Then Carter, my ex, steps back into the picture for what I assume is going to be closure. And he assaults me. Jude is there to stop it and help me through the lawsuit and the trial. But Jude has his own stuff going on, and I’m graduating in the spring. At some point I’m going to have to deal with all the issues I’m facing ... especially when love is on the line.

Download or read book Tax Avoidance written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-02-19 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HMRC estimates that in 2010-11 the tax gap due to avoidance was £5 billion and that the present total tax at risk from avoidance over time is £10.2 billion. There is a proliferation of contrived schemes which exploit loopholes in legislation and abuse available tax relief schemes. Promoters are deliberately taking advantage of the time lag between the launch of a scheme and the closure of the scheme by HMRC. Promoters and providers sign up as many clients as possible before HMRC changes the law and shuts the scheme. They then move on to a new scheme and repeat the process. The complexity of tax law creates opportunities for avoidance, there is no effective deterrent, and HMRC is ineffective in challenging promoters. All too often Government introduces tax incentives to stimulate economic activity that become an opportunity for tax avoidance. Promoters collect their fees even when the schemes are found not to deliver a tax advantage and few schemes are covered by mis-selling regulations. Those who promote a tax avoidance scheme are required to notify HMRC of the scheme however, HMRC does not know how much avoidance is not disclosed but should. It is alarming that some QCs' opinions are being used by promoters as a "reasonable excuse" for non-disclosure which prevents HMRC from applying a penalty. HMRC could learn from how other countries deter and tackle tax avoidance. HMRC should also name and shame those who promote tax avoidance schemes, to harness public opinion and reduce the appetite of companies to promote or use avoidance schemes.

She wanted to experience college beyond her books – to be like her popular twin brother, Jackson. When Aiden, Jackson’s teammate and Everleigh’s crush, invites her to explore the old Waverly Psychiatric Hospital, she ignores her hesitations. Little did they know that Waverly was not as abandoned as everyone thinks. There is something sinister lurking behind those walls. It seems as if everyone who explores Waverly does not return. About the Author Macy grew up in Bucktown, Pennsylvania where the surrounding farms cultivated her love of horses. She graduated from Houghton University with a degree in equestrian performance and a minor in business administration. Growing up, Macy never had any interest in reading and writing, as these subjects were always difficult for her. Being diagnosed with dyslexia in the fourth grade provided an explanation for the struggle. With the support of great teachers and her family, she learned ways to overcome her disability. She started writing as a creative outlet and her new love for reading and writing produced the book you are reading today. When Macy isn’t writing, she can be found at the barn spoiling her two horses, Dezi and Phoebe.

And when we’re tossed together for an out of town trip and forced to share a room with only one bed, the chemistry between us finally explodes...again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When there are rumors that your lady parts will crush a man’s package, finding love can be difficult. Superspeed, incredible strength, a foul mouth—these are thirty-one-year-old superhero Birdie Bowden’s powers. Although Birdie boasts a perfect save record as Chicago’s municipal super, her bad attitude and latest, now viral, run-in with a local menace lead the mayor to place her on suspension. Forced into therapy in a small beachside suburb, the solitary Birdie meets eccentric, bubbly housekeeper Evie. Adrift without her job, Birdie leaves her superhero identity behind and accepts Evie’s invitation to stay with her for the summer cleaning beach cabins while working the therapy program as a means to get her job back. The only snag in her plan is Aiden, Evie’s ill-tempered, unfairly handsome brother and cabin owner. Focused on helping his sister wage her own battle of healing, Aiden finds Birdie to be an irksome, unwelcome influence and doesn’t hesitate to tell her so. But that’s fine with Birdie—her natural ability to constantly get a rise out of grumpy Aiden may be her greatest superpower yet. As Birdie fumbles through her therapist’s ridiculous get-to-know-the-real-Birdie assignments, she feels a growing connection to her new life, including the increasingly alluring Aiden, and a yearning for more than being a super. But she can’t have both lives, and she’ll never reveal her true identity—because the only thing faster than her own speed is how quickly people, particularly men, leave when they realize Birdie is not your typical heroine.

Book excerpt: Aiden Cole isn’t exactly running away. He’s just taking a month-long vacation halfway round the world. Spontaneously. He may be ditching his job, his disastrous love life, family, and everything else, but nope, he’s just on vacation. Four weeks in a tiny little blip of an Australian town with impossibly blue waters and lush greenery. Only, he wasn’t expecting the world’s sexiest—albeit worst—handyman on the Sunshine Coast. A fling, or even a little handsy action, was definitely not on his itinerary, but single dad Finn Schultz is too impressive to ignore. Weirdly tall, dark-eyed, and annoyingly hot, Finn might be worth adjusting the plan. Not to mention his tendency to keep rescuing Aiden—from wandering lost on the road, or even from what might be the most nightmarish spider on the planet. It’s just supposed to be a vacation. A respite from the horrible mess he’s left behind. And yet somehow this strange but beautiful little town—and especially Finn—are slowly stealing Aiden’s near-broken heart. But there’s only so long he can hide from his so-called-life before it catches up with him...
