I’m desperate for the job he’s offering—and intensely curious to see the beastly billionaire recluse for myself. But soon I’m trapped in his castle and entangled in his secrets… and his bed. I’m in deep and I don’t want to find my way out. Gideon: People would kill to know the deadly secrets of my past. And when someone tries to steal one, I realize I can’t trust anyone… not even the men who share that past. But Tess is different. I have to trust her if she’s going to finish this job—still, I’m keeping her by my side twenty-four seven. But when I start to fall for her, she’ll be the biggest danger of all. Deadly Appetites A playboy and an ice princess make a seductive bargain while the secrets of his past stalk them both… Victoria: Cassian is exactly the kind of charming playboy I hate. Smooth talker. Game player. Heartbreaker. I’ve been burned by his kind in the past. But he takes it to the next level with his sultry gaze and hard, powerful build. He’s got an Achilles’ heel though: there’s a dark secret from his past, threatening to destroy his empire. And he comes to me for help. But he’s not getting me for free. Cassian’s going to teach me his tricks of seduction. Once I’ve cracked his code, I’ll beat the bad boys at their own game. Except with a single, sizzling kiss, Cassian tears down all my defenses.

But no matter how much she tries to maintain her distance, I need her. She’s going to help me keep the secrets of my past where they belong—buried deep. Victoria agrees to help if I give her a crash course in seduction. Little Miss Uptight wants to learn how a bad boy operates? She’s about to get a lesson she’ll never forget. As I unwrap more of the real Victoria though, I’m realizing I want to do more than teach her—I want her for my own. Forever.

I can’t be distracted by her short skirts and sassy mouth when my dark past stalks me. If I lose my focus, we’ll both be in danger. But when I’m near her, she’s the only thing I see. Zara: Humorless, stuffy, and completely wrong for me, that’s Archer. I’ll laugh in his face before I translate anything for him. But then he makes me an offer I can’t refuse. The more I learn about him, the more I see that his past is more mystery than fact. And that his stuffiness hides a passion I can’t resist. I need to keep away, but the closer I get to knowing the real man, the harder he is to resist. beauty beast forced proximity romance billionaire office billionaire wealthy suspense suspence romantic second chance comedy alpha club books series boys workplace office banker male steamy hot sizzling novel enemies lovers thriller adventure silicon valley tech venture capitalist tycoon stand-alone boxed set box anthology collection
Download or read book Capital Volume One written by Karl Marx and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 883 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capital: Volume One by Karl Marx is a classic of political economics and was described by Friedrich Engels, the author's friend and collaborator, as "the bible of the working class." Thirty years in the making, this 1867 publication was the first in the three-part Das Kapital series and the only volume published during Marx's lifetime. The polemic asserts that society is advancing from primitive economic systems toward the utopian state of communism. It remains a work of tremendous importance and influence and offers an astute critique of capitalism, exploring commodities, value, money, and other factors related to the system's historic origins and contemporary functions. The examination of these elements forms the basis of Marxist doctrine: the system is irredeemable, a revolution is imperative, and a socialist system is the only viable alternative, providing a structure in which production serves the needs of all rather than the enrichment of the elite. AUTHOR: Philosopher and radical thinker Karl Marx (1818-74) was expelled from Germany and France after publishing controversial material, including The Communist Manifesto, which he co-wrote with Friedrich Engels. In 1848, he was exiled to London, where he wrote Das Kapital and resided for the remainder of his life.

Download or read book Capitalism without Capital written by Jonathan Haskel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in the twenty-first century, a quiet revolution occurred. For the first time, the major developed economies began to invest more in intangible assets, like design, branding, and software, than in tangible assets, like machinery, buildings, and computers. For all sorts of businesses, the ability to deploy assets that one can neither see nor touch is increasingly the main source of long-term success. But this is not just a familiar story of the so-called new economy. Capitalism without Capital shows that the growing importance of intangible assets has also played a role in some of the larger economic changes of the past decade, including the growth in economic inequality and the stagnation of productivity. Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake explore the unusual economic characteristics of intangible investment and discuss how an economy rich in intangibles is fundamentally different from one based on tangibles. Capitalism without Capital concludes by outlining how managers, investors, and policymakers can exploit the characteristics of an intangible age to grow their businesses, portfolios, and economies.

Download or read book Greedy Bastards written by Dylan Ratigan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The host of the eponymous MSNBC show, Dylan Ratigan offers a bold and original post-partisan program to resuscitate the American Dream. At a time of deep concern with the state of America’s economy and government, it seems that all the media can give us is talking (or screaming) heads who revel in partisan brinkmanship. Then there’s Dylan Ratigan—an award-winning journalist respected and admired across the political spectrum. In Greedy Bastards, he rips the lid off of our deeply crooked system—and offers a way out. Employing the nuanced reporting and critical analysis that have earned him so much respect, Ratigan describes the five “vampires” that are sucking the nation dry, including an educational system that values mediocrity above all else; a healthcare system that is among the priciest and least-effective infrastructures in the industrialized world; a political system in which lobbyists write legislation; a “master-slave” relationship with our Chinese bankers; and an addiction to foreign oil that has sapped our willingness to innovate. In offering solutions to these formidable and entrenched obstacles, he does nothing less than lay the groundwork for a political movement dedicated to tackling the rot at the heart of the country. In its desperation, America needs more than just endless stock tips and Wall Street navel-gazing. It needs passionate debate and smart policy—and a hero to take on the establishment. Dylan Ratigan is that hero, and this is the book that will rally people behind him.

To prove to myself and a short-term world that Logan and I had a forever love. I was wrong. The harder I tried to be flawless, the farther apart we grew, until I never saw my husband. At least not at home—but definitely in the pages of gossip rags with beautiful women in his orbit, like in his playboy bachelor days. So I ran before my heart could break completely. But Logan’s found me… and he refuses to let me disappear again. Logan: I only ever wanted to be the perfect husband. To prove I could succeed where my dad hadn’t and provide my wife with everything she could ever want. I failed. The harder I worked, the more I made, the more I gave to her, the farther away Callie drifted. Until one day she was gone and my entire world went black. But I never stopped searching for her. When I find her, we reignite the passion between us—and uncover a whisper campaign to destroy our marriage. Finding who’s responsible and making them pay will be the easy part.

Download or read book Voltaire s Bastards written by John Ralston Saul and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-25 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a new Introduction by the author, this “erudite and brilliantly readable book” (The Observer, London) expertly dissects the political, economic, and social origins of Western civilization to reveal a culture cripplingly enslaved to crude notions of rationality and expertise. With a new introduction by the author, this “erudite and brilliantly readable book” (The Observer, London) astutely dissects the political, economic and social origins of Western civilization to reveal a culture cripplingly enslaved to crude notions of rationality and expertise. The Western world is full of paradoxes. We talk endlessly of individual freedom, yet we’ve never been under more pressure to conform. Our business leaders describe themselves as capitalists, yet most are corporate employees and financial speculators. We call our governments democracies, yet few of us participate in politics. We complain about invasive government, yet our legal, educational, financial, social, cultural and legislative systems are deteriorating. All these problems, John Ralston Saul argues, are largely the result of our blind faith in the value of reason. Over the past 400 years, our “rational elites” have turned the modern West into a vast, incomprehensible, directionless machine, run by process-minded experts—“Voltaire’s bastards”—whose cult of scientific management is empty of both sense and morality. Whether in politics, art, business, the military, entertainment, science, finance, academia or journalism, these experts share the same outlook and methods. The result, Saul maintains, is a civilization of immense technological power whose ordinary citizens are increasingly excluded from the decision-making process. In this wide-ranging anatomy of modern society and its origins—whose “pages explode with insight, style and intellectual rigor” (Camille Paglia, The Washington Post)—Saul presents a shattering critique of the political, economic and cultural establishments of the West.
