My trip to London was the first lucky break I've had in years. It came at just the right time, allowing me to escape my sad reality for a bit. And the guy I met on the flight? Perfection. The short week we spent together was filled with raw, unbridled, and passionate nights. But it couldn't last. I'm a single mom with a troubled past and a shady ex. Romance just isn't in the cards for me. Which is why I walked away from Jim and didn't look back. That was before I landed my new job. Before I met the boss. Before I discovered that Mr. James Mitchell, CEO, was my Jim.

I'm not the kind of girl who has one-night stands. Except...I did. What can I say? After a few drinks with a gorgeous man who made me feel alive for the first time since losing my mom, I was powerless to say no. And I didn't regret it. Not one minute of our hot, mind-melting night together. But he wasn't a forever kind of guy. So I walked away. I wasn't supposed to ever see him again. Then I did. Turns out my sexy one-night stand is Dr. Jacob Mitchell - and he's the cardiothoracic surgeon who just saved my dad's life.

There are few things in life more uplifting and inspiring than witnessing someone seemingly quite ordinary do something quite extraordinary. The walk-on athlete who lifts his team to the championship. The high school drop-out who gets the company he started in his garage listed on Nasdaq. We admire their success, but more importantly their brash, unreasonable ambition brings our own dreams a little closer. Does a seventy-six-year-old non-musician’s quest to play all the instruments in the orchestra seem brash and unreasonable enough?

Nothing is easy in this universe, and the key to victory lies with humanity’s once-greatest enemy.

And by the middle of that century nationalism had emerged triumphant from Ireland to Greece, and many new nations, including Germany and Italy, had appeared. But nationalism was accompanied by a chauvinistic impulse toward militarism.
