Book Description
This year, Cupid’s wearing a pocket protector! Seth Jerome is perfectly content with his go-nowhere job at the Holiday Helpline, working the graveyard shift in an empty office, going home to his empty loft apartment and numb to everything about his empty, workaday life. But when he is assigned an intern for the spring semester, Seth’s world is turned upside down—and that’s before he meets Lyle, the nerdy, slight, bookish and utterly irresistible college sophomore he’ll be spending the semester with. Lyle McPhee is more than happy to blitz through Carlton College the same way he blitzed through high school: hard, fast and anonymous, with no one to question his illicit desires or, for that matter, indulge them since he’s far too shy for anything as intimate as dating another boy. But all that changes when he meets Seth, his coworker at Holiday Helpline. For underneath Seth’s sculptured physique and alpha aesthetic is a big, old softie waiting to be lured out of his shell—and into Lyle’s bed. And for once, Lyle is more than willing to take the plunge and lose his V-card to the sexiest jock on campus! PUBLISHER NOTE: Contemporary Erotic M/M Romance. New Adult/College Holiday Romance. 27,700 words. All characters depicted in this work of fiction are 18 years of age or older.

Book Description
A forbidden romance comes to a head over the Fourth of July weekend, setting off an explosive chain of events to rival any fireworks show… Flynn Patterson has just broken up with his girlfriend. Heading to the family beach house to lick his wounds, he wants nothing more than to rest, relax and reflect on what fueled the breakup in the first place: his secret desire for other men. When he stumbles upon a surprise visitor from his past, he realizes he might just have found the solution to his lifelong problem. Either that, or the problem itself! Lane Oscar is off to the family beach cottage for one last visit before his ex-stepfather puts it on the market. After his parents’ divorce, Lane set off on his own, looking back only to reflect on the one family member he really cared about: his former stepbrother, Flynn. When the two arrive at the cottage on the same day, they realize that it was more than just a marriage of convenience that bound them together, but a quietly simmering attraction that can no longer be denied. After late-night confessions lead to a torrid—and quite taboo—hookup, the former stepbrothers are left with a staggering decision: put their burgeoning love affair back on hold or bring it out into the light, where they are free to express their love for one another as it grows, day by day. PUBLISHER NOTE: Contemporary Erotic M/M Romance. Taboo. Secret Crush, Holiday Romance. 30,900 words. All characters depicted in this work of fiction are 18 years of age or older.

Book Description
Sometimes, I swear my life is a Julia Roberts movie. Right now, I am going through the part that sucks. The most. So bad that I feel the overwhelmingly desperate need to take a leaf out of her book. Just feels like a long-drawn bildungsroman. Only problem is my character isn’t growing as fast as I want it to or as I should be. Day and night, I sit here waiting for my twist of fate to happen. ‘Patience, Patience. The time has got to be right,’ I tell myself, hoping for the ‘all’s well that ends well’ ending. Please Doctor Cupid, please don’t misfire your arrows. And just as my strong-willed Julia Roberts spirit kicks into full gear, this man comes into the picture (why does it always have to be a man thrown in the mix) and I swear (twice now) my life is a Julia Roberts movie, like for real. Hold on tight for the twists and turns – and an ending that’ll blow your ... never-mind, I probably shouldn’t reveal too much just yet xx.

Gender, Race, and Ethnicity in the Workplace
Author: Margaret Foegen Karsten
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313054908
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 918
Book Description
Despite tremendous strides that have led to increasing numbers of women and minorities entering the workplace and achieving positions of power and influence, there is still much ground to be gained. Blending theory and practice, statistics and analysis, this three-volume set presents the latest research from the fields of management, sociology, psychology, law, and public policy to shed new light on the dynamics of gender and race/ethnicity in the workplace. The first volume details the corporate paths of women and minorities to date, highlighting continuing challenges and gaps. Volumes 2 and 3 tackle such complex issues as: corporation socialization and how it excludes women and minorities; the impact of affirmative action decisions on practice and policy; the fine line between office romance and sexual harassment; and work-life balance. These volumes also showcase innovative practices in promoting diversity and leadership development. Featuring contributions from such influential authors as Nancy Adler, Gail Evans, and Gary Powell, this set presents a unique collection of perspectives on the dynamics of race, ethnicity, and gender in the workplace, and considers how they both reflect and reinforce the culture at large. Since women were first admitted to the Harvard-Radcliffe business program in 1959, they have made remarkable progress in assuming leadership and management positions traditionally held by white men; more recently, African-, Asian-, Hispanic-, and Native-American women and men have joined the professional realm in increasing numbers —with profound implications for organizations. Nevertheless, the statistics still tell a discouraging story: women make up nearly 50 percent of the workforce, but only 16 percent of the corporate officer pool in America's 500 largest companies; for every dollar a white man earns, a black man earns 76 cents; in a recent survey, 70 percent of women cited lack of an influential mentor as a key obstacle to attaining business success. The leading business experts assembled here consider what is behind these statistics and what can be done to change the culture that creates them.
