So many women hit their 40s or 50s and realize: It's time for a career change. Maybe you're yearning to try something new, or you're sensing that layoffs are coming and you need a backup plan. Perhaps you paused or downsized your career to raise children, and you're ready to rejoin the workforce. How do you reboot, relaunch, return to, or reinvent a career at age 40? Or 50? Or 60? And how can you create a career and life that will provide you with purpose and financial security for years to come?

According to the law of attraction, women and men can't be friends. Contrary to this myth, my friendship with Coriander Phillips does not rest on unrequited love or un-actualized lust. We've been inseparable since the day I pulled one of her pigtails and she punched me in the gut. She's hilarious, fun to hang out with. Together, we're like peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti and meatballs, wings and beer. A match made in heaven.

When my college crush, Talbot Richardson, was elected to the United States Senate, I bragged a little too loudly that I knew him. Oops. Did I really know the sexiest, slickest guy on campus? Not a chance in hell. Unless knowing someone is following them around campus to see which dorm they live in, and which class they have at 8 a.m. on Wednesdays. Thanks to my big mouth, the paper I work for now expects me to do a story on him. Surely he’ll meet with me since we went to college together? Right? Logical assumption, except that he doesn’t know me from a hole in the wall.

It's time to play.... I'm in debt to Luca and Leo Borroni, the gorgeous mafia twins of Las Vegas. And my payment is to play "The Game." Their dirty, deviant, sexy game. But I'm a big girl. I'll pay my debt. They can have my body. But they won't touch my heart.

There are wounds that never show on the body. For 29 years, Colbie Bennington does as expected with an eternal smile stained on her lips. The biggest chances she's ever taken can be counted on one hand, three fingers to be exact - her battered red chucks, painting her toenails a vibrant blue, and her wedding dress. Always the dutiful daughter and a Stepford fiancée, she has never acted on impulse, never been in love. She's never lived. On her wedding day, Colbie ends a toxic relationship, drops the fake smile, and says, "I can't do this anymore."

Claire Peters should be on top of the world. She owns the radio waves and has a budding movie career. But her heart longs to be rooted. Ten years ago, she fled Martha's Vineyard to pursue her dream and to make something of herself. But there's still a void. After a decade of running, she returns to the island hoping to find her happiness with the man she's loved all her life. When a tragic event shatters Dr. Forrest Desvareaux' well-balanced world, he discovers everything in his life is based on lies.

Puerto-Rican, American Liliana Serrano has never been one to let others determine her future -certainly not her pack of three overprotective brothers. She always stands on her own, which is exactly how she entered her arrangement with Adam Aquilani. The hot formula one driver is aloof, detached, and not interested in relationships. Fresh off a broken engagement with a cheating fiancé, no-strings-attached sex was just what she needed. Except one year later, she never expected their hook-ups to have consequences.

Wczesnym rankiem panna Kaino Pelkonen wyprowadza na spacer psa, który znajduje w krzakach zwłoki mężczyzny wyglądającego na bezdomnego pijaka.

Komisarz Palmu będzie musiał rozwiązać zagadkę kryminalną pod presją zwierzchników pragnących uniknąć skandalu. Ostatni tom trylogii, której poprzednie tomy to Kto zabił panią Skrof? i Błąd komisarza Palmu.

This book is not just a collection of words—it is a map of survival, a testament to resilience, and a deep reflection on the journey from brokenness to becoming whole again. It is a journey marked by trauma, loss, pain, and grief—but also by an unwavering hope, a quiet but powerful strength that rises from the ashes of the most difficult chapters of life. If you are holding these pages, you are likely no stranger to suffering. Perhaps, like me, you have weathered storms of abuse, loss, betrayal, or heartache—that seemed impossible to survive.

This hot, over-the-top romance includes sexy professors with a penchant for pursuing and protecting the college coeds who give them a run for their money. If you love outrageously naughty stories as a way to indulge your not-so-secret bad girl side, this story is for you.

From the ashes of a terrible war, humans rise above on a land of floating continents. Some blessed with power, others with nothing at all. For Rowan and Iaden, two entirely different people, navigating the world to become Knights of the Winterlands is no small feat. Finding purpose and power in a world where they have none, finding value in a life where they have been stripped of it... both seem impossible, and yet together they will reach for the stars and become all they yearn to be. Together, they will rise, and together... they will show the world they matter.

Family can be everything, pain and the promise of happiness all at once. For Davis, having a child out of wedlock meant his family cursed his name and cast him out. For Deven, leaving his family was the happiness he sought out so deeply. Who knows what could and would happen when these two forces meet up, finding unity in their differences? Can they both find family once again, where it had been denied them so often? Written by award winning author Mika Mathews as his first attempt at something outside the realm of magic and fantasy!
