A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE Dr. Alexandra Lawson wasn't the type to swoon over a handsome man. But then she had never met anyone like Chase Harrington. The sought-after CEO had an unnervig way of making her feel more female than physician, and the normally staid surgeon found herself fantasizing of wedding bells and family albums when she accepted Chase's gallant offer to share his residence. Suddenly Alex had a lover to come home to, and a friend. But Chase had a secret agenda in Honeygrove, one she feared might never include making the doctor in his house a wife…

Richer Than A Millionaire A Pathway to True Prosperity Having taught thousands of students over our careers, it is clear to the authors that many young people are clueless about their direction in life. Yes, they want a career, and yes, they want a good life, but knowing what to do is to many quite a challenge. Some say they want to be rich, but they really don't know what that means. In a sense, to paraphrase the Italian Renaissance polymath Leonardo da Vinci, many are like ships on the high seas of life without rudders! They have tremendous potential but no direction. In our book, Richer Than A Millionaire A Pathway to True Prosperity, we hope to inspire and to point all people (but especially young adults and concerned parents and grandparents who want sound advice for the next generation) in what we believe is the right direction. This direction has been reinforced by over forty years of academic and consulting research on what it really means to be rich. Our approach relies heavily on tried-and-true social science research methods of personal interviews and large-scale structured surveys. In other words, we have more than our personal opinions to offer. While there are many self-help books about wealth or happiness, we believe our book is unique in that it combines these topics. We show that it is possible to be modestly wealthy and happy. In order to reach true prosperity- health, happiness, and wealth, in all likelihood behavior modification will be required. And change is hard. Benjamin Franklin understood this, as he concluded in The Way to Wealth essay 250 years ago: the people heard the advice, agreed with it, and then practiced the contrary.
The New York Times–bestselling author of The Millionaire Next Door reveals the spending and saving habits of financially successful women. Millionaire Women Next Door presents a variety of groundbreaking concepts involving the personality, lifestyle, motives, beliefs, and spending habits of economically successful American businesswomen. Most of these women report being raised in nurturing family environments. They were trained not only to succeed financially but also to be generous in giving to noble causes. Stanley asks, “How did these businesswomen become millionaires? They did it by doing more of the key activities and achieving better results than most of their male counterparts.” Praise for Thomas J. Stanley’s The Millionaire Mind “A very good book that deserves to be well read.” —The Wall Street Journal “Worth every cent . . . It’s an inspiration for anyone who has ever been told that he wasn’t smart enough or good enough.” —Associated Press “A high IQ isn’t necessarily an indicator of financial success . . . Stanley tells us that the typical millionaire had an average GPA and frugal spending habits—but good interpersonal skills.” —Entertainment Weekly “Ideas bigger than the next buck.” —Orlando Sentinel
Brawny bush pilot Sam Edwards only cared about two things: his son and his daughter. Though raising a family single-handedly was difficult, Sam knew—despite the townfolks' prodding—he needed a baby-sitter, not a bride. And independent T. J. Walker—a strong, nurturing single mom more leery of love than Sam—was up for the job. His kids took to T.J. and her son like bees to blossoms, and Sam's own granite heart softened amid his makeshift family. Still, wary of rejection, T.J. had built a mile-high wall around her emotions. But would Sam prove to be the best man to show her what being wanted was all about?
THE ARCTIC TEMPERATURE COULDN’T COOL THE HEAT BETWEEN THEM Kindhearted veterinarian Melissa Porter only wanted the coyote cubs in her care to reach their natural habitat. Instead, she crash-landed in the Washington wilderness with a man who acted as cold as their surroundings. Then, he would give her one of those smoldering looks, setting her whole body on fire. Pilot Nick Magruder knew about survival. He had survived the end of his marriage and business. So, what were a few days in arctic temperatures? He’d already put his heart into deep-freeze for protection. But something about Melissa, her warmth, her smile, had him thawing quickly. He had to get them out of there—otherwise his heart wouldn’t survive….
ONE NIGHT. ONE MAN. ONE BIG MISTAKE Was there a woman alive who could resist Matt Calloway? If given a choice, most would have said Ashley Kendrick, the eldest daughter in the Kendrick dynasty. Ashley’s poise and reserve were world renowned. But the night Matt reappeared, Ashley’s inhibitions had ended up on the floor next to her clothes! The one-night stand was coming back to haunt her. Ashley had to work with Matt on a charity project building houses for the disadvantaged. She knew too well how good Matt was with his hands, his success as a contractor notwithstanding. But Ashley was a public figure, watched by the world. A scandalous affair with her brother’s best friend would be completely inappropriate…and somehow inevitable….

As a single mother, it’s easy to think because you’re doing everything alone, that you are alone. You cook, clean, and pay bills alone. You make decisions alone. You provide for your family alone. The absence of a physical person to support and encourage you can easily make you feel unsupported and even unseen. God sees you. But what does that mean? Why is it so important to know that God sees you? Great question. Being fully confident that God sees you confirms that you are never by yourself. God is and will always be there to strengthen and guide you. In Dear Single Mom, God Sees You, author Dr. Kisha Cheree Tinson encourages single mothers with her message that God sees and will help you through your most difficult challenges. Through personal letters of her life as a single parent, guided self-work, scripture study, and prayer, Tinson invites you to take comfort in knowing the omniscient God who created the heavens and the earth sees you. You are not forgotten by God or invisible to Him. In fact, you are always in His sight. May this encouraging devotional provide single mothers with uplifting motivation and heartfelt connection, assuring that God sees and cares.
