Steamy romance - Harold Longston, a confident, educated, successful businessman, worships neither money, nor power, and maybe that's his charm. No, he desires something far far greater, something incalculably more powerful, something without which everything else may be counted as meaningless. He seeks that true indomitable love, the extraordinary love that is, simply put, beyond passion. Harold knows of that place, that rare place, where true lover's reign in a state of perpetual beauty. Despite being rarely seen, onlookers recognize it easily and seldom mistake it for anything except love and all its maturity. A single force, or maybe several, however, seems to block Harold from experiencing the love beyond passion. What or who is holding him back? Is it Yvette, spotted across the room and known instantly to him as the one for him? Is it Lynn, whose second chance encounter after two years started innocently enough with a dance at the bar? Maybe his past is blocking his future. He's come so close to finding that which he values most, but each time, seemed fate intervened. Is he too guarded now to find such a rare love that requires complete openness? Then again, maybe his bad boy habits are causing him to stumble. Oh, Harold is no playboy, but damn if he isn't charismatic. Can he help that he attracts women, women so fine that can it really be his fault that he walks away from fewer of them than is good for him? He does not know, but he is undeterred. Fortunately, Harold is firm in his deeply held convictions, and the beneficiary of a mysterious muse who guides him in his quest in a very unique way. Is that the great music of life speaking to him? Can he hear it? Can he understand it? If he can, if he does, then Harold Longston might yet find that love which is beyond passion, that is, if the death that is stalking him does not claim him first. -

Now, as young women ready to embrace promising futures, Eliza imagines a life of adventure and achievement, while far simpler hopes for family and happiness occupy Shannon. Instead, the closely-knit sisters endure two life-changing tragedies, and their powerful bonds of love and loyalty threaten to break under the weight of trauma and loss, secrets and misunderstandings. One sister leaves, possibly forever. Heartbroken and scarred from a battle with tuberculosis, the other vows to never let go of the invisible thread that runs between them- and in the course of her journey, she discovers the true meaning of family.

In an unorthodox approach, Georgetown University professor Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice, and sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving their careers. Not only are pre-existing passions rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work, but a focus on passion over skill can be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls they avoided in developing their compelling careers. Cal reveals that matching your job to a pre-existing passion does not matter. Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it. With a title taken from the comedian Steve Martin, who once said his advice for aspiring entertainers was to "be so good they can't ignore you," Cal Newport's clearly written manifesto is mandatory reading for anyone fretting about what to do with their life, or frustrated by their current job situation and eager to find a fresh new way to take control of their livelihood. He provides an evidence-based blueprint for creating work you love, and will change the way you think about careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life.

FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR AMELIA KINGSTON Book four in the So Far, So Good series An endearingly irreverent love story. To Jackie Ryan, insults are foreplay and love is war. What the feisty redhead lacks in stature, she makes up in attitude. She's made more than one grown man cry and she's damn proud of it. Little does the rowdy barista know she's about to meet her match in the shape of a walking, talking pair of starched khakis. When unassuming Eddie Jaworski stumbles into a quirky coffee shop, he isn't expecting a battle of wits with the maniac behind the counter. Still, he can't help be intrigued by the endearingly irreverent human enigma. She's brash, but considerate. Closed off to most, but fiercely loyal to a few. Everything is a joke, except those things that are sacred. Jackie doesn't trust easily and if he wants to get close, he's going to have to work for every inch. Good thing he's up for the challenge. But Eddie has a secret—one he didn't mean to keep—that's going to tug at the delicate strings weaving the pair together. When everything begins to unravel, Jackie must decide just what she's willing to risk for love.
