Book excerpt: In Marlowe’s Maverick, Rachelle Vaughn introduces Ryan, Gavin, and Coop—the sexy hockey players who despite not sharing a last name, are brothers at heart. And for Gavin Bozymowski, the thrill of a lifetime is about to arrive in a surprising package… Red Valley, California seemed like a good place for Marin Marlowe to start over and reinvent herself. Here, cleaning houses for a living, Marin scrubs toilets, washes windows, and dreams of a more meaningful relationship than the one she has with the paper towel hunk and the bald guy on the cleanser she uses. The upside of her thankless job gives her a behind-the-scenes look at Red Valley’s wealthiest residents. At Gavin Bozymowski’s house, she likes what she sees behind door number one. A peek inside his massive walk-in closet reveals rows upon rows of custom-made suits and more designer ties than she could shake her mop at. Her newest client might spend most of his time traveling, but when he’s home, Marin can’t resist the sharp-dressing, smooth-talking hockey player. After Gavin wakes up to find a gorgeous stranger standing at the foot of his bed, he wishes his heart wasn’t off limits. When Gavin shows Marin the finer things in life, she wishes she wasn’t so far out of his league—and out of his reach. A rough-and-tumble guy like Gavin giving her the romance she’s always dreamed about? Seems bizarre! Then again, crazier things have happened under the sunny California sky. Marin is sure she has no place in a community like Harlequin Hills, but Gavin knows differently. Marin belongs here with him, and convincing this sexy, stubborn woman will be a challenge no bad boy could resist…

Download or read book Remember God written by Annie F. Downs and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I know God is loving; I know He is good; I believe He is big and powerful. But sometimes I wonder if He is really kind— really deeply always kind. Is He? Christians love to talk about how God is in control, but that’s harder to grasp when things aren’t going like you thought they would, when your life looks quite different than you imagined. For centuries, God’s people have been building altars to Him—to remind themselves and the people around them of His work. His goodness. His kindness. Stacks of stones. Altars. Temples. Cathedrals. Why? Because they believed God and wanted to remember Him. In the back of my mind, God reminds me that He is the same trustworthy God—the One who always finishes the stories he starts. And this is my story—of wrestling with our God who gives a limp and a blessing. A God who is always kind even when my circumstances feel the opposite. God is who He says He is. He is kinder than you imagine. In a world where it is easy to forget who He is, we will not. We will remember God.

Book excerpt: What happens when you discover nothing you’d believed about yourself is true? All Genny Dupont wants for her 21st birthday is to sleep in, eat a great breakfast, and go out dancing with her best friend. At first, it seems like her day goes exactly to plan. She even meets a cute guy at the club. But when they get together for coffee the next afternoon, she realizes she’s made a huge mistake. Because the story JP tells her, that she and her sister are the only remaining descendants of a family of immortal vampire slayers, is completely insane. He’s obviously a lunatic. Disappointed, she walks out, but Genny can’t quite shake the idea he’s planted. Could he possibly have been telling the truth? Learning about her family and how they died opens the door to a world she’d thought only existed in fiction. Sure, this world includes enemies that want her dead, but it’s not all doom and gloom. As Genny starts to embrace her legacy, she and JP grow closer. She’s a slayer. JP insists vampires are evil. But when she strikes up an unlikely friendship with Quinn, a vampire who risked his own life to save her, she comes to understand that not everything—or everyone—is how it seems.

Download or read book You Can t Be Serious written by Kal Penn and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The star of the Harold and Kumar franchise, House, and Designated Survivor recounts why he rejected the advice of his aunties and guidance counselors and, instead of becoming a doctor or “something practical,” embarked on a surprising journey that has included confronting racism in Hollywood, meeting his future husband, and working in the Obama administration, in this “incredibly joyful and insightful” (Kiefer Sutherland) memoir. You Can’t Be Serious is a series of funny, consequential, awkward, and ridiculous stories from Kal Penn’s idiosyncratic life. It’s about being the grandson of Gandhian freedom fighters, and the son of immigrant parents: people who came to this country with very little and went very far—and whose vision of the American dream probably never included their son sliding off an oiled-up naked woman in the raunchy Ryan Reynolds movie Van Wilder…or getting a phone call from Air Force One as Kal flew with the country’s first Black president. “By turns hilarious, poignant, and inspiring” (David Axelrod, New York Times bestselling author), Kal reflects on the most exasperating and rewarding moments from his journey so far. He pulls back the curtain on the nuances of opportunity and racism in the entertainment industry and recounts how he built allies, found encouragement, and dealt with early reminders that he might never fit in. He describes his initially unpromising first date with his now-fiancé Josh, involving an 18-pack of Coors Light and an afternoon of watching NASCAR. And of course, he reveals how, after a decade and a half of fighting for and enjoying successes in Hollywood, he made the terrifying but rewarding decision to take a sabbatical from a fulfilling acting career for an opportunity to serve his country as an Obama White House aide. Above all, You Can’t Be Serious shows that everyone can have more than one life story. The book “is insightful, funny, and instructive for anyone who’s ever grappled with how they fit into the American dream” (Ronan Farrow, New York Times bestselling author), and demonstrates that no matter who you are and where you come from, you have many more choices than those presented to you. And okay, yes, it’s also about how Kal accidentally (and very stupidly) accepted an invitation to take the entire White House Office of Public Engagement to a strip club—because, let’s be honest, that’s the kind of stuff you really want to hear about.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A luminous story of a young artist grappling with first love, family boundaries and the complications of a cross-cultural relationship. Perfect for fans of Sandhya Menon, Erika Sanchez and Jandy Nelson. Rani Kelkar has never lied to her parents, until she meets Oliver. The same qualities that draw her in--his tattoos, his charisma, his passion for art--make him her mother's worst nightmare. They begin dating in secret, but when Oliver's troubled home life unravels, he starts to ask more of Rani than she knows how to give, desperately trying to fit into her world, no matter how high the cost. When a twist of fate leads Rani from Evanston, Illinois to Pune, India for a summer, she has a reckoning with herself--and what's really brewing beneath the surface of her first love. Winner of SCBWI's Emerging Voices award, Anuradha D. Rajurkar takes an honest look at the ways cultures can clash in an interracial relationship. Braiding together themes of sexuality, artistic expression, and appropriation, she gives voice to a girl claiming ownership of her identity, one shattered stereotype at a time. "A brave, beautiful exploration of identity--those thrust upon us, and those we forge for ourselves." --Elana K. Arnold, award-winning author of What Girls Are Made Of
