Beyond the Boardroom Anything but business as usual. Billionaire CEO Nic Price lives for his job. With sales down and grumbling from the board of directors—including Nic’s permanently dissatisfied father—the last thing Nic needs is distraction from the new manny, whose freewheeling approach to childcare is outlandish... and who makes Nic feel things he’s never allowed himself to feel. Ex-teacher Sasha Lindsey is all about fun—that’s the reason people love him, so he has to be. After a bad break-up leaves him jobless and homeless, the live-in manny job with Mr. Price seems like a windfall. But his chemistry with Nic is off the charts, and he can’t afford another workplace romance disaster. Can Nic leave his dominance in the bedroom and open his heart to the best thing that’s ever happened to him? Or will Sasha’s leap of faith backfire and ruin his chances at the family happily ever after he’s always dreamed of?

The Is of Us is an attempt at re-piecing together the shattered identity of a trauma survivor. In a colorful timeline of vivid, real-time accounts, secondary losses, and existential discoveries, the author explores centuries of thinking and philosophy applied in her own tale. Whether stumbling upon a fig tree while lost and famished in the wilderness, covering the bloodied scene of her husbands death with roses, or hurling herself out of an airplane upside down at 120 miles per hour, Borealis regales the reader with a slew of her own intense experiences balanced with a spoonful of perspective. The author invites us on a wild ride through the landscape of a life reimagined and boundless. Its relevance is echoed in Eastern philosophy, physics, and adventure stories. Gripping and poignant while philosophical and uplifting, familiar yet uncanny, metaphysical yet scientific enough to interest intelligent questioners, this story will resonate with and fascinate anyone who lives or will die.

ESPN's beloved Sports Guy replays the years leading up to the Boston Red Sox historic championship season and says goodbye to a lifetime of suffering. At least for now. "The Red Sox won the World Series." To Citizen No. 1 of Red Sox Nation, those seven words meant "No more 1918 chants. No more smug glances from Yankee fans. No more worrying about living an entire life -- that's 80 years, followed by death without seeing the Red Sox win a Series." But once he was able to type those life-changing words, Bill Simmons decided to look back at his Sports Guy columns for the last five years to find out how the miracle came to pass. And that's where the trouble began. Why didnt he see it coming? Why didn't it happen sooner? What was the key deal, the lucky move, the funny bounce, the sign from above that he failed to spot? Pretty soon, The Sports Guy was second-guessing himself, rewriting history, sniping at his own past predictions, pounding the table -- that's what sports guys do, right And doing so, he let himself get sidetracked by the suffering of the Boston Bruins, frustrated by the false promise of the Celtics -- and driven into a state of ecstasy by the dynastic New England Patriots. The result is Now I Can Die in Peace, a hilarious and fresh new look at some of the best sportswriting in America, with sharp critical commentary (and fresh insights) from the guy who wrote it in the first place.
