When her family pressures her to bring a date to her cousin's wedding, he challenges her promise to swear off men forever. As an only child in a close-knit family, everyone expects me to get married...like, yesterday. But after my last two boyfriends cheated on me, I am done with dating, done with men, and done with romance. But I'd have better luck convincing my mother that the sky is green than getting her to understand I'm happy being single. Left with no other choice, I ask the biggest manwhore I know to be my date for a wedding weekend. He has just enough charm to make my family fall in love with him, but not enough that I will. Too bad the bottom half of me didn't get the message. But even if he gets my legs to open for him, he'll never get my heart to do the same.

The business world swarms with alpha males—powerhouses who take charge, produce astonishing results, and bring enormous value to their organizations. But many alphas also leave a path of destruction in their wake. Competitive, belligerent, and impatient, these hard-charging leaders can run roughshod over colleagues and employees, to the detriment of their careers and the bottom line. In Alpha Male Syndrome, Kate Ludeman and Eddie Erlandson build on their Harvard Business Review article “Coaching the Alpha Male”—sounding a wake-up call to all alphas and the companies they work for. The authors show alphas how to leverage their unique strengths while confronting their destructive “flip side risks.” They describe the distinguishing dynamics of the alpha male syndrome and identify four breeds: commanders, executors, strategists, and visionaries. By understanding each type’s nuances, alphas can transform themselves into more effective leaders. And those who work with alphas can transform nightmare work groups into collaborative dream teams. Exercises, checklists, and tips enable readers to harness the enormous power of the alpha personality while minimizing the downsides of alpha behavior.
When she breaks her own rule and takes a job working for a CEO, he'll show her that money doesn't matter when it comes to the heart. As a poor girl who went to a private school filled with rich kids who made fun of me, I've since avoided anyone who has a lot of money. But when I'm offered a temp job as the assistant to a business tycoon that pays very well, I can't pass it up. The extra cash will help me secure a down payment on the perfect location for my new business. I arrive at my workplace with my armor in place and a professional smile on my face, but Seth Crawford is not what I expected. He doesn't look like a CEO or act like a CEO, and he doesn't treat me like he's the CEO. And when I accompany him on a business trip, he shows me what it would be like to be more than his assistant. But playing pretend outside of the office can't last forever. In the real world, he'll never see me as his equal, and unfortunately, neither will I.

Angel and Raquel possess two very strong personalities separately. They are alphas to the core. The problem comes when these two fire-filled individuals come together. One needs to be in control while the other refuses to be controlled. Angel Leonetti, the complete Alpha Male "Let me first address this 'using you' shit that you mentioned. To be clear, I asked you to be on the team for no other reason but that I trust you. You were actually the only one I trusted in that meeting, besides my father. I don't know what's up with Victor. I haven't a clue where the hostility he displayed stemmed from, but, best believe, if he says anything to me again, I won't hold back. He has you to thank for him breathing without assistance right now. Consider this his reprieve."Angel moved closer to her, as he continued, "And that ultimatum bullshit you just spat at me; that's not an option. I'm growing tired of repeating myself. I've told you already that you are who and what I want. I won't say it again."Raquel Waters, the uncontrollable Alpha Female...No matter how she felt about him, how much she wanted him, she wasn't taking his controlling caveman ways lightly. "You are so full of shit! You and I haven't seen or spoken to each other in three years; three-long-years. You know nothing about me, and I don't know shit about you. All I can say is that we know how to fuck each other's brains out with a skill that should be taught to the masses, but that's it. So what!" She moved closer to him. "I went away and grew up. I have likes and dislikes that you have no clue exist. So if you think I'm just going to sit here and let you claim me without me having something to say about it, you're sadly mistaken." Angel can't live without this woman. He refuses to. He's determined to have her no matter what. Raquel equally has a need that only Angel can fulfill. She wants him, there's no doubt about that. However, she doesn't want to sacrifice who she is to get what she wants. Will Angel be able to break down the walls of the woman he's desired since the moment they met? Will Raquel be able to surrender her free will for the man that has managed to dominated her mind, body, and soul? Can these two find a way to be together or will their fire consume them both?

A breathtaking novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the This Man trilogy. ONE NIGHT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH . . . Livy notices him the moment he walks into the coffee shop. He's heart-stoppingly stunning, with a blue-eyed gaze so piercing she's almost too distracted to take his order. When he walks out the door, she thinks she'll never see him again. Then she finds the note he left on his napkin . . . signed M. All he wants is one night to worship her. No feelings, no commitment, nothing but pleasure. Every defense mechanism Livy has adopted during her solitary life is at risk of being obliterated by this confounding man. He's obnoxious but well-mannered. He's a gentleman but aloof. He's passionate but emotionless. Yet the fascination is so powerful, Livy can't deny him . . . or herself. M awakens something in Livy, something deep and addictive that she never knew existed-and that she fears only he can satisfy. But she senses that behind the fast cars, fancy suits, and posh apartment, he's aching inside. To have him, body and soul, she'll have to brave his dark secrets. Delving into his world and breaking down his defenses become her obsession-an obsession that could shatter her heart beyond repair . .
Riddle me this... "I am neither dead, nor alive, and I'm not something little Madison can hide. But you will be dead, by the time this is done... the timer starts now, and the games have just begun..." Madison Montgomery comes from money and power, but when someone close to her commits the ultimate crime, Madison must live with her tainted name for the rest of her life. When she begins Riverside Preparatory Academy, the private school her father has swept her into in The Hamptons, she hopes for a fresh start. What she wasn't hoping for was the pack of bad boys who run the school; ten, to be exact. When Madison gains the attention of their leader, Bishop Vincent Hayes, a whole new world that she didn't think existed is exposed to her. A whole world that starts and ends with The Elite Kings Club and these boys, are about to flip her world upside down. Secrets are overflowing and family lies are about to be exposed. Is there more to Madison Montgomery than even she knows? About this book: I need to admit something right now. The Silver Swan is f*cked. It might be the most insane story I've ever written with equally insane characters. Who knew? You know, when I started this book, it was supposed to be YA. I wanted to write a book that my sisters could read. A book that won't have people look at my mum like "damn... what sort of messed up shit happened to your kid?." The angst, the assholeness, the games, the f**kery, the WHAT THE F**KING F**K ARE YOU DOING !!!... I cannot even.... anyway, this is a warning (and the only one I'll give you). It's crazy. I don't compare my work to my others, but this book is f**ked. It will most likely stomp all the f**k over people's hard limits (and not give a sh*t while it's doing it) and will make you second guess all the morals you thought you had. This most definitely is not looking like a love story right now... more like a..... I don't even.... anyway, I apologise now. You asked for it..
A story that will captivate, exhilarate and intoxicate you like no other. Perfect for those who loved E. L. James' bestselling Fifty Shades of Grey but were left wanting more.
