How do you know when fake turns real? Abi Cook lives her life by her own rules. She works hard, plays hard, and knows who she is and where she wants to be. Following a repeat one-night stand with the dashing Dr. Cade Carsen, Cade asks Abi for a favor: be the fake girlfriend on his arm for the duration of his father's mayoral campaign. Never one to turn down a challenge, she doesn't hesitate. I mean, who would when all that's involved is a little fake girlfriending with a side of hot sex, and with Doctor Hottie no less? But like any Game, there are always twists and turns, unexpected players, villains, heroes and ultimately, winners and losers. Faking Bliss is the story of what happens when two happily single people try for something less, but end up with something so much more.
*Promising Bliss was originally published as “The Loop” in the Love in Transit anthology* Every girl dreams of their wedding. It’s supposed to be one of the most memorable moments of their life, right? But instead of getting hers, Sarah Mason is sacrificing the designer dress, the gifts, the first dance—hell, even the right groom—and marrying her best friend to help her parents out of a bind. Cameron Carsen always had an end game, and her name was Sarah Mason. He may have taken his time coming back into her life again, but the moment he sees her on the L train wearing what looks like a wedding dress and a cloud of dread, he knows it’s now or never. With ten hours to change her mind and explain decisions he made in their past, he’s pulling out all the stops, one step down Memory Lane at a time. Luckily for him, he’s got history, lust, and even the best friend on his side. If ever there was a time for Cam to be a game breaker, it’s now.
"You have chlamydia." Three words no man wants to hear. I've always been liberal with my appreciation of the female form, a firm believer in the 'try before you buy' principle, but living life to the fullest obviously didn't end well for me considering the unexpected—and very unwelcome—consequence of my free and easy past. After living through the horrendous experience that was informing my recent sexual partners of my acquired 'condition,’ I made a vow to myself – and a bet with my best friend—that the next woman I sleep with will be the ‘one.’ What I will learn is that even when something happens and the games come to an end, there's always the chance of something—or someone—crashing in and changing everything. So this is my story. It may start with a venereal disease, but I promise you, I’m determined to get my happy ending.

For the first time Marie-Luise Friedemann′s theory for nursing that centers primarily on the family is presented in its entirety. Friedemann provides a clear description of the framework of systemic organization, validating the concepts through existing research findings and case studies that explore the use of the framework with families. While explaining the interaction of modifying factors such as the family structure, life span considerations, and cultural influences within the family, The Framework of Systemic Organization emphasizes family health and healthy adaptation to change. It then focuses on crises resulting from illness and the environment--such as poverty and homelessness--and explores the effects these factors have on family members′ wellness. Throughout the volume, the author guides the reader toward a concept of nursing that unifies theory, clinical expertise, and research in seeking to advocate and support health and well-being in each individual and family. This invaluable book reinforces the holistic approach to nursing and serves as a comprehensive resource. The Framework of Systemic Organization is a must for graduate and undergraduate nursing courses. The volume will also be of interest to students in family studies, social work, occupational therapy, and other health care/public health professions. "Using a holistic approach to nursing, this volume centers primarily on the family and its adaptability throughout the life span and in times of crisis. The author expands on her original framework by validating its concepts through research findings and case studies and explains the interaction of factors such as family structure and cultural influences. She then focuses on a wide range of family crises, from addictions and violence to chronically ill family members to unemployment and poverty, and explores their effects on the family′s well-being. Students in social work, family studies, and health care will find this to be a useful resource. --Journal of Social Work Education "This book presents a nursing theory that performs the valuable service of acknowledging the importance of the family as context and unit of service in health and illness. The book provides a useful resource for both family nursing and nursing theory." --Doody′s Nursing Book Review Home Page
