Iesha Chic moved to New York to follow her dreams and her long-distance boyfriend at the time. She had dreams of becoming a fashion designer and starting her clothing line. However, after four years and multiple broken promises, she finds herself back in Brookwood, with her tail tucked between her tail.
She doesn't have the career she thought she would have or the boyfriend. Moving back home to Brookwood was the last place she thought she would ever be. Instead of sitting around licking her wounds, she applies for a junior designer position for Fashion Don.
Fashion Don is a billion-dollar company that has gotten away with ripping other designers off in the past by offering them settlements and then sweeping things under the rug. It goes against everything Iesha believes in, however, she has bills to pay, and she refuses to stay at her mother's place forever.

Wes Wolfe was tossed into the role as CEO for Fashion Don when his father purchased the company for his new young wife. Instead of allowing her to run it into the ground, he moves from New York to Charlotte, North Carolina. He takes over with the goal of making Fashion Don better, and trying to get rid of the reputation that it now has.
When one of Iesha's personal designs is stolen and put into mass production, Wes is determined to make things right with her. He doesn't need the bad PR. When he meets Iesha Chic, he isn't expecting the woman standing before him. She's a Wolfe In Chic Clothing.

A dazzling new chilller from the bestselling author of KOKO and LOST BOY LOST GIRL.

Award-winning children's book author Willy Patrick seems to be having a breakdown. Figures from her past are coming to visit her, most frighteningly her dead daughter, Holly, who was murdered together with Willy's first husband. Then Willy discovers her mysterious fiancé may well have been responsible for the deaths of her husband and daughter.

After fleeing the house they are renovating she runs into Tim Underhill, also an author haunted by the deaths of loved ones. In fact, his long-deceased nine-year-old sister recently appeared to him on the way to his favourite diner, and he's been getting strange emails from people in his home town - none of whom are still alive. But what really spooks him is the realization that Willy seems to be the heroine of the book he is currently working on, in precisely the mortal peril he has invented for her...

In this original work, Tom Lawry takes readers on a journey of understanding what we learned from fighting a global pandemic and how to apply these learnings to solve healthcare's other big challenges. This book is about empowering clinicians and consumers alike to take control of what is important to them by harnessing the power of AI and the Intelligent Health Revolution to create a sustainable system that focuses on keeping all citizens healthy while caring for them when they are not.

She'll do anything to get home. He'll do anything to keep her with him, forever...

Vanessa doesn't have the luxury of building a happily ever after on a new planet like her fellow alien abduction survivors. She must get back to Earth. Her family needs her, and she can't afford to let them down again. So, she'll find a way to break Clecanian law and get home-even if she has to marry (and betray) a sexy space pirate to do it.

Fejo can't believe his luck when Vanessa, a gorgeous human with a sharp tongue, chooses him as her husband. He doesn't know what he did to win her favor, but he's determined to do everything in his power to make her happy. If only he could figure out why his alien bride is so reluctant to accept the kindness-and pleasure-he's so eager to offer.

Vanessa's plan was simple. Until she started falling for her ridiculously charming husband. Now, she has to figure out how to get home without breaking Fejo's heart-or her own. Easy, right?

How society can shape individual actions in times of uncertainty

When we make decisions, our thinking is informed by societal norms, "guardrails" that guide our decisions, like the laws and rules that govern us. But what are good guardrails in today's world of overwhelming information flows and increasingly powerful technologies, such as artificial intelligence? Based on the latest insights from the cognitive sciences, economics, and public policy, Guardrails offers a novel approach to shaping decisions by embracing human agency in its social context.

In this visionary book, Urs Gasser and Viktor Mayer-Schönberger show how the quick embrace of technological solutions can lead to results we don't always want, and they explain how society itself can provide guardrails more suited to the digital age, ones that empower individual choice while accounting for the social good, encourage flexibility in the face of changing circumstances, and ultimately help us to make better decisions as we tackle the most daunting problems of our times, such as global injustice and climate change.

Whether we change jobs, buy a house, or quit smoking, thousands of decisions large and small shape our daily lives. Decisions drive our economies, seal the fate of democracies, create war or peace, and affect the well-being of our planet. Guardrails challenges the notion that technology should step in where our own decision making fails, laying out a surprisingly human-centered set of principles that can create new spaces for better decisions and a more innovative and prosperous society.

"Rose is a great flawed character...you don't want to miss this one!" -- Freida McFadden

"Dear Diary. Today I'm going to kill her. Love, Rose."

When Rose discovers her troubled past splashed across the pages of a bestselling book, she knows her carefully constructed life is about to unravel.

The author, Emily Harper, claims the story is fiction, but Rose knows better. Desperate to find out how Emily discovered her deepest secrets, Rose ingratiates herself into the author's life, posing as an eager assistant and adoring fan.

But as Rose gets closer to the truth, long-buried memories resurface. Slowly, the horrifying events of her teenage years come into focus, revealing that sometimes, the people you trust the most are the ones you should be most afraid of.

In the space between a heartbeat and a breath, entire worlds exist. SHARDS captures these fleeting moments in a collection of micro-stories that cut straight to the bone of human experience.

A woman counts her child's breaths.

A man dies and leaves a geocache of wishes.

A child discovers there are no wrong roads home.

Here, handwriting becomes intimacy, scent becomes memory, and the gaps between words hold as much meaning as the words themselves. These are stories of toxic love and tender grace, of ghosts both literal and metaphorical, of the small apocalypses and quiet resurrections that shape our daily lives. Like shards of glass catching light, each piece reflects a different facet of what it means to be human-beautiful, dangerous, and impossibly fragile.

How does one measure the intentions of a life? 


This is a question that Tekatsi: tsia' kwa Katsi Cook (Wolf Clan, Mohawk Nation, New York) asks in her introduction to Worlds within Us, a book rich with the voices of eight Native American women elders.

Each elder represents a distinct nation, a community, a family, and an individual carrying the history, wisdom, and traditions of generations. They share their very personal life stories with us, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives.

Whether from present-day Alaska, the American Southwest, the Great Plains, or upstate New York, what each elder brings to readers is unflinching honesty, but also common values, common problems, and above all the common desire to assist in the transformation of others through the example of their own extraordinary lives.

As we read one story after the other it becomes apparent that each one adds a new layer to a narrative arc and little by little we begin to discern a pattern, a coherence, a tapestry being formed, connecting experiences and creating a bigger story. A story with a single beating heart, a life force that Cheyenne leader Gail Small perceptively defines in her foreword: "Healing and forgiveness are centered in each women's life. If they can heal and forgive, the rest of the world should at least know their stories ... and learn from them ... This is the reciprocal process of being invited to listen and learn from tribal elders."

By accepting this gift, this invitation to listen and learn from the words of Worlds within Us, you become part of that process of reciprocity. Just as they will enter your heart with their stories, you, as their audience, will enter theirs. And nothing would be more powerful in expressing that reciprocal gratitude for the lessons learned than to, paraphrasing Gail Small, work toward a better future and dedicate our lives to creating a more loving and balanced world.
