Book Description
THE MAN: Rugged private investigator Mathis Hazard. THE MISSION: Pose as the estranged spouse of beautiful hotel owner Desiree Stratford—for investigative purposes only, of course. POSSIBLE COMPLICATION: Inability to keep his mind—not to mention his hands—off said Desiree. As soon as the once-reluctant detective Mathis Hazard got a look at lovely Desiree Stratford, he suddenly became a lot more eager to get to the bottom of all the weird goings-on at her hotel. And what better way to proceed than to pretend to be Desiree's husband? Yes, he knew what a tough job it would be—t would probably take twenty-four-hour-a-day, one-on-one surveillance. But hey, a man had to do what a man had to do….

Book Description
Sasha had loved Dante with everything she had in her. But a year ago, he pushed her away with accusations of cheating. She couldn’t believe he would even think something like that and had run away, too hurt by his accusations. Now his grandmother’s dying wish is to see Sasha once more and Dante will do everything within his power to grant her wish, even if he still considers her a black widow who had betrayed him more deeply than anyone else. He could ignore her though, as long as it took to bring her to his grandmother. What he hadn’t counted on was Sasha’s soulful eyes coming back to haunt him, or her previously slender body now gaunt with her weight loss. If she’d cheated on him, why did she look like she was the one that had been betrayed? And then, in the moonlit darkness, the past didn’t matter any longer. It was just her soft scent, her tender touch and her longing looks that drew him in. From the first moment they’d met they hadn’t been able to deny their attraction to each other and the hurt each thought the other had caused couldn’t stop that attraction from taking over and overwhelming both of them once more.

Book Description
A Willful Child A story of Betrayals and Beginnings Janet Steele Holloway's debut is as dazzling as the West Virginia countryside she describes. Her father a hardworking coalminer, her granny an unrepentant bootlegger, Holloway remembers a childhood grasping at the shards of a shattering family. She emerges as a young woman ready for anything. This memoir is poignant, brutal, funny, inspired. Neil Chethik, author of FatherLoss Painful, warm and wise, Janet Steele Holloways debut memoir, A Willful Child, vividly portrays a remarkable yet ordinary family whose life is more typical of post-war America than wed like to think. At the mercy of an unstable, beautiful mother and a coal miner father in the boom-and-bust mountain economy, Holloways childhood is spent on the move from coal camp, to her grannys beer garden, to a farm in southwest Virginia, to both coasts of Florida, and back to the mountains. Billie Brown, her pragmatic bootlegging granny, supplies rootedness, but cannot assuage her own daughters restless discontent or shore up the headstrong streak that will become her granddaughters greatest strength. A Willful Child shows us how a girl-becoming-a-woman gathers courage, confidence, and wisdom to weave a self from the pieces and places of a fragmented life. Leatha Kendrick, author of Second Opinion This gripping story speaks for many Appalachian women and children who broke away from mountain culture to live a life of promise and success and never forgot their mountain heritage. Janet Holloway tells an engaging story of a bright child caught in the ruins of her parents marriage and her determination to create a productive, creative life for herself.

Book Description
A revelatory alternative to the standard economic models of human behavior that proposes an exciting new way to understand decision-making Why do we do the things we do? The classical view of economics is that we are rational individuals, making decisions with the intention of maximizing our preferences. Behaviorists, on the other hand, see us as relying on mental shortcuts and conforming to preexisting biases. Richard Robb argues that neither explanation accounts for those things that we do for their own sake, and without understanding these sorts of actions, our picture of decision†‘making is at best incomplete. Robb explains how these choices made seemingly without reason belong to a realm of behavior he identifies as “for†‘itself.” A provocative combination of philosophy and economics that offers a key to many of our quixotic choices, this groundbreaking volume provides a new way to understand everything from investing to how hard we work to how we manage daily interactions.
