Book excerpt: I came back to Reckless Falls to hide from the world. Derek Granger found me. All I wanted when I fled my abusive ex was some peace. My salvation came in the form of my grandfather’s will. He’d left me his huge property high in the hills above town. Part of it, anyway. Turns out one half of my salvation also belongs to the caretaker. A ghost from my past life named Derek Granger. He’s dark-eyed and dangerous. A hard-hearted, hard-living bad boy. And he’s living in my house. He says he’s not going anywhere. But I’ve got no place else to go. Now it’s a standoff. A showdown. The immovable object and the irresistible force. One of us has to leave, but neither wants to lose to the other. It's a high stakes game of chicken. And soon we're both playing dirty. I see the way he watches me when I wear my high boots, so I flaunt it. Smile, flirt, bat my eyes... kiss him...again. And again... Whatever it takes to convince him to let me have the house, right? Whatever it takes to get my way. But when he takes off his shirt, exposing that rock hard stomach before he pins me against the wall? I’m ready to let him have his way instead. There's a man in my house who has the power to take everything from me. And I can't stop giving in to him. The longer Derek stays in my house, the more I want him to stay in my bed. And my life.

Download or read book Whatever written by Mike J. Aronson and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whatever is a book about you. Whatever will help you in your daily life. Whatever will also help you to help others. If Jerry Seinfeld can write a show about nothing and Cosmo Kramer can write a coffee-table book that turns into a coffee table, I can write a book about Whatever. We all have “stuff” we all need to learn how to deal with. We need to adapt in helping others with their stuff also. Many times, people don’t need physical help. They are just looking for someone to talk to and maybe get another perspective of the situation or someone whom they just needed to vent to. Be a good listener. It’s not always about you. When you help someone, chances are, you are helping yourself. At times, people just need some help. The littlest things can make such a big difference—a smile, a laugh, or even just opening the car door for someone. This book is over twenty years and a lifetime of observations, situations, and experiences I have had, and many you have had. The key element of Whatever is to help yourself first and then for you to pass it on to others. We are just a world of people helping people, and sometimes we need a little help. I hope you enjoy reading Whatever and have some laughs and smiles along the way. I know you have seen some of the writings and pictures before. Maybe now you will be able to look at your life differently. Whatever will help you do that and also for you to help someone else. Remember what they tell you on an airplane: “Secure your own oxygen first before helping others.” Enjoy your time.

Book excerpt: What happens when a detective falls in love with a homicide suspect? In this razor-sharp psychological thriller set in London’s gleaming art world, more than one life may depend on the answer. A serial killer has struck again. London’s already on edge. And Detective Inspector Tessa Grantley doesn’t have a clue. The “Execution Murderer” certainly has a type: young, beautiful blondes. Other than that, there’s nothing linking the victims, and the killer has the unfortunate habit of leaving the scene without a trace. When Tessa meets a handsome and talented artist named Alec Hanay, she decides to take one night off from investigating murder to attend the opening of his latest show. Clad in a new frock and giddy with excitement, Tessa enters the gallery, hoping to catch Alec’s attention. But as she browses the art catalog, Tessa is stunned into silence. Staring back at her, painted in all their brutal glory, are the victims of the Execution Murderer. Once he’s arrested, Alec claims that he’s been set up and pleads with Tessa to save him from a wrongful conviction. She’s torn, because the paintings are the only evidence pointing to him. But as Alec’s trial reveals his unsavory side, she wonders if sexual attraction, even love, is clouding her judgment—and the real killer is still on the streets. If she wants to find out, she just might be the next victim.

Lauren is Paulette’s pampered cousin who never fails to remind Paulette of how different their lives have always been—Lauren the daughter of wealthy black urbanites and Paulette the daughter of the family black sheep who married “beneath her family pedigree.” Paulette will stop at nothing—not even sleeping with her cousin Lauren’s husband—to gain the social status she feels she rightfully deserves. Gillian is a second-generation gold digger and, having learned from the best, strategically sleeps her way to Hollywood—but does she have the talent to be a lasting star? Reese is a career basketball groupie turned NBA trophy wife, and she wears it well, taking advantage of everything her new position affords; but when she finds out that DL may be more than just her husband’s best friend’s initials, she may be forced to realize that all that glitters isn’t gold. The stunningly beautiful, well-bred, but naïve Lauren is the secret envy of her friends. She seems to have all the creature comforts money can buy, but when she’s confronted with a crisis of her own, just how will she respond?

Download or read book Beautiful People written by Simon Doonan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-03-19 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wickedly funny memoir with echoes of David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs, Beautiful People (originally published in hardcover as Nasty) is now a BBC comedy hit series from the producer of Ab Fab and The Office. Proclaimed "the most brilliant, brash thing in type" by Liz Smith, Simon Doonan's saucy prose has established him as an emerging star among literary humorists. In this break-through memoir, reminiscent of both Sedaris and Burroughs, he revisits the landscape of his youth, and displays the irresistible charm that earned him his dedicated audience. Long before he became a celebrity in his own right--as the author of best-selling books, as the style arbiter of VH1 and America's Top Model, and the marketing genius behind Barney's New York--Simon Doonan was a "scabby knee'd troll" in Reading, England. In Beautiful People, Doonan returns to the working-class neighborhood of his youth, and chronicles the misadventures of the Doonan clan in all their wacky glory. Readers meet his mother Betty, whose gravity-defying, peroxide hairdo signified her natural glamour; his father Terry, an amateur vintner who turned parsnips into the legendary Chateau Doonan; his grandfather D.C., a hard-drinking betting man who plotted to win his fortune by turning Simon into a jockey; and his demented grandma Narg and schizophrenic Uncle Ken, both of whom lived upstairs. Fearing he would fall victim to the insanity that runs in his family, or, worse, the banality of suburban life, Doonan decamps with his flamboyant best-friend Biddie to London, where they hope to find the Beautiful People, that elusive clan who luxuriate on floor pillows and amuse each other with bon mots. Throughout the memoir--in essays about family holidays, the tart who lived next door, his first job--Doonan continues his bumbling pursuit of the fabulous life, only to learn, in the end, that perhaps the Beautiful People were the ones he left behind.

When Maya meets Noah on the Underground, for twenty glorious minutes her life becomes exciting. Until he jumps off the train, accidentally leaving behind a notebook containing a list of thirty things he wants to do before he turns thirty.

This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you feel like your partner has become your child? Do you find yourself being his maid, his cook, his manager? Have romance, respect, fun—and sex—been drained out of your relationship? In How Can I Be Your Lover When I’m Too Busy Being Your Mother? Sara Dimerman and J.M. Kearns lay bare an essential problem: the woman who finds she’s turned into a mother to her man instead of the equal and intimate partner she once was. She has a day job just like he does, yet at home she finds herself doing most of the housework, running the home, and being in charge of the child-rearing, which makes her his boss in the one place they spend most of their time together. This leaves her feeling angry and resentful—hardly conducive to being lovers. Dimerman and Kearns boldly confront the issues, allowing both sexes to vent in a no-holds-barred exchange that ranges from hostile to hilarious. They deconstruct the problem using real-life examples and lay out a step-by-step path that will enable any couple to get back to being equal partners again.
