Book Description
First, there's a crime scene, but no body. Next, there's a body, but no crime scene. Police start to suspect the two overly-curious women who discovered the scenes are serial killers, but they can't prove it. Travel nurses are disappearing at an alarming rate from Oak Island Hospital along the coast of North Carolina, but no one knows why. These two super-sleuth nurses are determined to find out. They aren't experts. They've never solved a crime. They just know they can't sit on the sidelines while other nurses are being killed. They're going to help whether the police like it or not. They're nurses. They can handle just about anything. Except for the impending hurricane pressing up the coast that will wash away any evidence before the case is solved. Follow Piper Quinn and Jeannie Hatcher with their quirky, unconventional style and have a look into the fascinating lives of travel nurses as they take their work contracts across the country.

Book Description
“A must-have book for today's quiet warriors.” —Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet and Quiet Power and cofounder of Quiet Revolution How does a self-described "extreme introvert" thrive in a world where extroverts are rewarded and social institutions are set up in their favor? Using her extraordinary personal story as a "case study of one," author Jill Chang shows that introverts hold tremendous untapped potential for success. Chang describes how she succeeded internationally in fields that are filled with extroverts, including as an agent for Major League Baseball players, a manager of a team across more than twenty countries, and a leading figure in international philanthropy. Instead of changing herself to fit an extroverted mold, she learned to embrace her introversion, turning it from a disadvantage to the reason she was able to accomplish great goals and excel in tasks that her extroverted peers missed. She offers advice on the best jobs for introverts, overcoming the additional difficulties language and cultural barriers can present, thriving at social events and business presentations, leveraging the special leadership traits of introverts, and much more. Part memoir and part career guide, this book gives introverts the tools to understand how they can form relationships, advance in the career path, excel in cross-cultural workplaces, and navigate extroverted settings without compromising comfort or personality.

Everyone who lives near the lake knows the stories about the world underneath it, an ethereal landscape rumored to be half-air, half-water. But Bastián Silvano and Lore Garcia are the only ones who’ve been there. Bastián grew up both above the lake and in the otherworldly space beneath it. Lore’s only seen the world under the lake once, but that one encounter changed their life and their fate. Then the lines between air and water begin to blur. The world under the lake drifts above the surface. If Bastián and Lore don’t want it bringing their secrets to the surface with it, they have to stop it, and to do that, they have to work together. There’s just one problem: Bastián and Lore haven’t spoken in seven years, and working together means trusting each other with the very things they’re trying to hide.
