Lucy's Double Diamonds By Ruby Storm Lucy O'Malley wants to find a man-someone who will cool the fire that crackles in her blood. That doesn't seem too much for a gal to ask. Then Matt Diamond, the man of her heated dreams, strolls through the door of the cafi where she is employed. Bulging muscles, worn jeans, and bedroom eyes wrapped up in one big package of pure male testosterone are enough to make Lucy slide right off a stool. Matt is blindsided by the redheaded woman prone to fumbling her way throughout her days. All he meant to do was duck into a restaurant for a quick burger. What he got was a red-hot tamale lying on the floor at his feet. Setting out for only a one-night stand, Matt is surprised at the depth of emotion that comes over him the first time he holds Lucy in his arms. Enter Jake, Matt's twin brother and mirror image. Never in his wildest dreams did he think his brother's new love would steal his heart instantly. Lucy's going to have to figure out how to deal with the double love of her double Diamonds-because both brothers set her body on fire, and both of them have captured her heart.

Design synthesis is a way of thinking about complicated, multifaceted problems of a large scale with a repeatable degree of success. Design synthesis methods can be applied in business, with the goal of producing new and compelling products and services, and they can be applied in government, with the goal of changing culture and bettering society. In both contexts, however, there is a need for speed and for aggressive action. This text is immediately relevant, and is more relevant than ever, as we acknowledge and continually reference a feeling of an impending and massive change. Simply, this text is intended to act as a practitioner's guide to exposing the magic of design.
