To the reader of this book – you must forget those things, which are behind and move into your future. Change addresses. You may have lost a few rounds, but the fight is not over until God says it's over and not one second before. God has been very busy exposing the winner in you. Give it time to surface. Oftentimes, the winner in you is hidden from your view because it's buried under the depths of your failures. But God knows exactly where it is and He knows all the right buttons to push. What is God up to? He is exposing Himself through you for others to see.

There is no greater reward for a hockey player than winning the Stanley Cup. The Ultimate Prize chronicles the evolution of the sport from the first recorded game played in 1875 to the 2002 Champion Detroit Red Wings. Photographs and statistics of teams, coaches, players, owners, and hockey executives are listed year by year. Facts, legends, and lore will engross the reader. Unique among team sports trophies, the Stanley Cup has been called "the people's trophy." It travels the globe making public appearances up to 300 days of the year. The names of the men (and some women!) who have won it are engraved right on the Cup itself. Hockey players of all ages dream not just of winning the championship but of actually hoisting the glittering silver trophy high above their heads. It is one of sport's ultimate icons and perhaps the world's best-known piece of folk art. Included in The Ultimate Prize are chapters on Stanley Cup heroes, top play-off moments, and the history of the Stanley family. Did you know that Lord Stanley never watched a team that won his trophy, nor ever played the game himself? All seven of his sons played hockey as a team and were outstanding athletes. Daughter Isobel Stanley played the game, too. In truth, the Stanley family is every bit as responsible for the "Stanley Cup legacy" as his Lordship himself. The Ultimate Prize—misspelled player and team names, wrong names, erroneous years won, and even double listing of players. Every hockey fan or sports enthusiast will want a copy of this treasure.

Nina Fortunova wasn't supposed to end up almost thirty, divorced, with her dreams of winning shattered. She teams up with Jorge Gonzalez, a hunky and hard-working Latin dancer, to reinvent the flashy Smooth style. When the Chairman of the Judges offers to throw the competition in their favor, Nina must decide how far she will go to win, even if it means losing Jorge. Carly Martindale is doing everything she's been taught not to do—placing her happiness first by dancing with Trey Devereux, the former three-time champion who's returned to competition for mysterious reasons. She falls deeply in love with Trey, but beneath his movie-star looks and Southern manners lays a tortured soul. To heal Trey, Carly must push herself beyond her limits—even if she loses herself in the process. Co-workers, then friends, and now arch competitors, Nina and Carly face off to determine who will be the winner—on and off the dance floor.

The Winner is a literary romance that's perfect for readers who love Dancing with the Stars, Strictly Come Dancing, So You Think You Can Dance, and the classic elegance of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
