Book Description
Tilly Maxwell is a freelance photographer in New York City who happens to take the right photo at the wrong time. While on a shoot, she captures in the background of one of her pictures a man who’s just committed a murder. A man whose perfect crime has now been foiled because of chance. Because of one ill-timed click of the camera, a photographer must be silenced, and Tilly’s now on the run for her life. John Osby, Oz, an ex Army Ranger who is now one of CEP’s best, is shocked to see Tilly when she calls on the agency needing help. Talk about a blast from the past. They’d attended high school together and he remembers her as the quiet, adorably awkward and somewhat nerdy photographer he'd had a crush on, but because their lives were so different, he didn’t dare cross the line with her, except for one drunken kiss. But now they're older, she’s blossomed into a real beauty and he intends on crossing any line he can to protect her… and have her as his own. A woman who adamantly guards her heart encounters the one man who may be able to break down her barriers. When the past collides with the present, boundaries will be pushed and unbreakable hearts will be tested to the limit.

A Thursday Next Digital Collection: Novels 1-5
Author: Jasper Fforde
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101525088
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 2186
Book Description
Enter the first five novels in the New York Times bestselling Thursday Next series—over one million copies in print!—and follow literary detective Thursday Next as she adventures through her alternate reality of literature-obsessed England. “What keeps this series humming is Fforde’s lively engagement with books and the indefatigable woman he’s created to defend them.”—People “It’s easy to be delighted by a writer who loves books so madly.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times The Eyre Affair: Hailed by the Wall Street Journal as “delightfully clever,” this riotous novel follows Detective Thursday Next as she tracks down the villain who plucked Jane Eyre from the pages of Brontë’s novel—and averts a heinous act of literary homicide. Lost in a Good Book: Thursday fights to save the love of her life, navigating the works of Kafka and Austen and even Beatrix Potter’s The Tale of Flopsy Bunnies. But when she discovers a new play from the Bard himself and finds herself the target of a series of potentially lethal coincidences, she realizes the stakes are far higher than she could have predicted. The Well of Lost Plots: Thursday is ready for a break. She heads to the depths of the Well of Lost Plots, where all unpublished books reside, to lose herself in a cliché-ridden pulp mystery. What was supposed to be a well-deserved reprieve turns into chaos as Thursday discovers the Well’s dark underbelly, a veritable linguistic free-for-all. To top it off, a murderer is stalking Jurisfiction personnel and nobody is safe—least of all Thursday. Something Rotten: It’s back to reality for Thursday—and fiction never looked so good. But as she travels with the dithering Danish prince Hamlet, she becomes wrapped up in an outlaw fictioneer’s plot for absolute power. Can Thursday find a Shakespeare clone to stop this hostile takeover? First Among Sequels: Thursday grapples with a host of problems in the Book World, but her biggest challenge is motivating her sixteen-year-old son, Friday, to follow his destiny as a member of the ChronoGuard. As she juggles the trials of motherhood and saving the Book World, Thursday finds she must face down her most vicious enemy yet: herself.

How to Make Things Happen
Author: Beatriz Muñoz-Seca
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319547860
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
This book offers models and frameworks to analyze your service delivery systems as a whole. It presents the framework to solve customer problems by delivering the right knowledge at the right time to the right place and take advantage of the efficiency that technology and algorithms offer. Why do so many brilliant plans fail to deliver in practice? Why can’t your employees just do what you want them to do? In most cases, because the operations eco-system in which those plans must be deployed fails to fully understand the problem that needs to be solved. The fourth industrial revolution is seeing advances in Artificial Intelligence industrialize the service sector. But, despite the cost-cutting that these advances offer firms are still struggling to stay competitive. That is because they think that cost-cutting delivers increased efficiency whereas it is the other way around: increased efficiency cuts costs. And the heart of efficiency in delivering services is people and their knowledge. As industrialization drives ever more standardized offerings and ever little human contact it is in those rare moments of human interaction where the greatest opportunity to add or destroy value lies. It is human brains and the knowledge they contain that are best suited to problem-solving and individualizing client solutions. The real competitive edge will become the ability to foresee and individualize problem-solving. To do this, firms must start thinking of knowledge as inventory – who knows what, who needs to know what and where and when do they need to know it.

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
Here’s the Companion Study Guide for Psalmwriter Book II in the Chronicles of David. Wait Training draws parallels between weight training and the purpose of waiting in our own lives. Just as we build healthy bodies by watching our diet, practicing aerobic exercise and disciplined strength training so God uses the virtue of waiting to develop our spiritual, mental and emotional health. David’s wait of nearly fourteen years for his rewards is a guidebook for the Christian who faces the daily struggles of life and finds that waiting is an integral part of existence here on earth.

Do Not Be Afraid
Author: Rachel Mann
Publisher: SPCK
ISBN: 0281090025
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
'Waiting can be beautiful and, at least sometimes, it takes us to the heart of the Holy.' As much at home with Strictly Come Dancing as the mystical writings of Julian of Norwich, Rachel Mann writes with disarming verve of something we all experience - waiting. It may seem unlikely when you're stuck on a train, or nervously anticipating hospital treatment, or simply fearful of an uncertain future, that there is treasure to be found in the waiting. Yet the Psalmist says, 'I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry.' These luminous meditations tell stories of God waiting with us when we're in fear or distress; of coming - bidden or unbidden - to relieve our loneliness; of disconcerting us, desiring us and surprising us with joy... Most of all they remind us that Jesus Christ comes into the world as one long waited for; as the servant who waits on others; as the one on whom we are, adoringly, called to wait. Covering 4 weeks, each meditation ends with a prayer and questions for reflection, which may be used by individuals or groups.
