As your life changes, your decor changes and you must design your life around the relationship you desire and deserve.

From the first date to the day he or she moves in, Decor and the Single Girl helps the modern woman appreciate what a touch of traditionalism and forward planning can mean to her dating life and relationships.

Download or read book Not Pretty Enough written by Gerri Hirshey and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Not Pretty Enough, Gerri Hirshey reconstructs the life of Helen Gurley Brown, the trailblazing editor of Cosmopolitan, whose daring career both recorded and led to a shift in the sexual and cultural politics of her time. When Helen Gurley Brown’s Sex and the Single Girl first appeared in 1962, it whistled into buttoned-down America like a bombshell: Brown declared that it was okay— even imperative—for unmarried women to have and enjoy a sex life, and that equal rights for women should extend to the bedroom and the workplace. “How dare you?” thundered newspapers, radio hosts, and (mostly male) citizens. But more than two million women bought the book and hailed her as a heroine. Brown was also pilloried as a scarlet woman and a traitor to the women’s movement when she took over the failing Hearst magazine Cosmopolitan and turned it into a fizzy pink guidebook for “do-me” feminism. As the first magazine geared to the rising wave of single working women, it sold wildly. Today, more than 68 million young women worldwide are still reading some form of Helen Gurley Brown’s audacious yet comforting brand of self-help. “HGB” wasn’t the ideal poster girl for secondwave feminism, but she certainly started the conversation. Brown campaigned for women’s reproductive freedom and advocated skill and “brazenry” both on the job and in the boudoir—along with serial plastic surgery. When she died in 2012, her front-page obituary in the New York Times noted that though she succumbed at ninety, “parts of her were considerably younger.” Her life story is astonishing, from her roots in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, to her single-girl decade as a Mad Men–era copywriter in Los Angeles, which informed her first bestseller, to her years at the helm of Cosmopolitan. Helen Gurley Brown told her own story many times, but coyly, with plenty of camouflage. Here, for the first time, is the unvarnished and decoded truth about “how she did it”—from her comet-like career to “bagging” her husband of half a century, the movie producer David Brown. Full of firsthand accounts of HGB from many of her closest friends and rediscovered, little-known interviews with the woman herself, Gerri Hirshey’s Not Pretty Enough is a vital biography that shines new light on the life of one of the most vibrant, vexing, and indelible women of the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A swindler's daughter with secrets. A federal agent determined to uncover them. And a sizzling attraction that won't be denied! From USA Today bestselling author Joanne Rock. Brianne Wolcott is ready to distance herself from her swindler stepfather when she reopens the South Beach nightclub he abandoned. As head of security for the new venture, it's her job to intercept troublemaking patrons. If only she could keep out Aidan Maddock, the too-hot FBI agent who is convinced she's hiding secrets. She is--but not the kind he imagines. Because Brianne has never shook the naughty crush she had on him when she was a teen. Aidan needs to close his case against Bri's stepfather or he wouldn't venture back into the terrain of a woman who should have always been off-limits. Unfortunately, he recalls every distracting way Brianne once tried to tempt him. And those memories short-circuit his concentration even now. But Aidan knows trouble is coming for Bri and her nightclub, and he won't allow anything--even the off-the-charts heat-- to stop him from keeping her safe. *An earlier draft of this book was published by Harlequin
