Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving across the country was supposed to be a fresh start. I'd made mistakes, but I told myself I'd no longer prey on emotionally unstable women. I don't do relationships-I'm a selfish bastard that enjoys not answering to anyone-and relationships mean being with only one woman. More often than not, one that carries emotional baggage, like cheating exes or worse-kids. After landing myself in trouble, again, my cousin Charlie dared me to settle down with one woman. I'm not one to shy away from a dare, so I chose Scarlett Winters, the most wanted actress in Hollywood. The sexiest woman on Earth. I just needed to get past the roadblock-her assistant, Morgan Bentley. The wicked bitch of the west. Between her multiple personalities and the giant stick up her ass, I should've seen it coming. I'd been with enough women to read the signs. Morgan Bentley was after one thing, and one thing only. A rebound. That's me, right? Mr Rebound. But what if this time I wanted more?

Book excerpt: The last time I saw Nevada Kane, I was seventeen and he was loading his things into the back of his truck, about to embark on a fourteen-hour drive to the only college that offered him a full ride to play basketball. I told him I'd wait for him. He promised to do the same. But life happened. I broke my promise long before he ever broke his-and not because I wanted to. We never saw each other again ... Until ten years later when Nevada unexpectedly returned to our hometown after an abrupt retirement from his professional basketball career. Suddenly he was everywhere, always staring through me with that brooding gaze, never returning my smiles or "hellos." Over the years, I'd heard that he'd changed. And that despite his multi-million dollar contracts and rampant success, life hadn't been so kind to him. He was a widower. And a single father. And rumor had it, he'd spent his last ten years trying to forget me, refusing to so much as breathe my name ... hating me. But just like a rebound, he's back. And I have to believe everything happens for a reason.

Download or read book Rebound written by Kim R. Holmes and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a huge concern in America today that the country is in decline, one of the few sentiments that - nationally - our increasingly polarized political leaders can agree on. Americans fear that the economy and our culture itself are in deep crisis. They are also frustrated that the ruling classes are unable to fix America's problems. Kim R. Holmes' Rebound taps into these concerns, taking a fresh look at how America has moved away from the principles and practices that once made it the world's greatest nation. Far from accepting America's inevitable decline, as so many today do, Holmes argues that decline is a choice, not an inevitability or destiny. To restore our culture, revitalize our economy, and ensure we return to being the world's number one power, America must reconnect with its historical DNA: the ingredients of its greatness. This book lays out the vision and roadmap for how America can bounce back, with examples from throughout our nation's history that prove we've always been able to meet the challenges facing us, no matter how largely they may loom.
