Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an assistant to my gorgeous billionaire boss, I was used to his many spontaneous demands. But what I never expected was to have to accompany him on what was supposed to be a quick “day trip” to a ski lodge to check out the amenities for an upcoming retreat. Did I forget to mention that it was in the middle of winter when we attempted to drive up the mountain? Oh, and that there was a hellacious snowstorm that forced us off the road and gave us no choice but to trudge our way to a deserted cabin for shelter and generate warmth in . . . creative ways. And maybe I shouldn’t mention the bourbon, or the game of strip poker, or the amazingly hot night I spent moaning my boss’s name. But yes, it all happened, and I can’t say I regretted any of the toe-curling O’s my boss so generously gave me for a Christmas bonus. But once we leave the close confines of the cabin and return to reality, will it be the end to us, or just the beginning?

Book excerpt: Of all the people to be stranded with for the holidays, in a major snowstorm, my brother’s best friend and my mortal enemy, Ryan Gardner, would have been my very last pick. Unfortunately for me, that’s exactly what happened. With nothing else to do in an isolated cabin, our decades old rivalry is put to the test, until all our arguing and bickering comes to a head and we find ourselves shifting from enemies to red-hot lovers. We both swear it’s a one time thing, and what happens at the cabin stays at the cabin never to be repeated again. Except neither one of us anticipated that beneath all that hate were much stronger feelings that neither one of us could deny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What could be more romantic than New Year's in New York City with the man of my dreams? We’d see the sights and experience the city together. And on New Year’s Eve, we’d be front and center in Times Square when the ball dropped for that all important kiss to bring in the new year. Except the guy I’d planned on taking broke up with me weeks before the trip. Cue my best friend, Kylan—who I’d always had a major crush on, though we’d never crossed the line beyond flirting. He was more than happy to join me, and I figured together we could make the best of it and at least have fun together. But neither one of us could have anticipated being stranded in a hotel in New York City, right before New Year’s Eve, due to an unexpected snowstorm. And little did I know that ‘making the best of it’ would mean both of us admitting to our years long attraction to one another, along with a hot kiss we both swore was just meant to see if we had “chemistry” but turned into steamy sexy times that ruined me for any other guy. Now, I’m looking forward to the new year with a new man, until we return home and I’m blindsided by a woman claiming to be his girlfriend . . .

Book excerpt: Ford & Sawyer (The Beginning). In a season of surprises... With all flights canceled due to an incoming snowstorm and no vacancies left in the small town of Amber Falls, Ford Erickson reluctantly agrees to take his hot, rich boss home for Christmas. Already fighting a sky-high attraction to the aloof Mr. Lancaster, how is Ford supposed to cope with having him within touching distance in the adjoining room for the holidays? He's bound to make Santa's naughty list with all that temptation. A family Christmas in a small town was not at all the way Sawyer Lancaster had expected his holiday to go... and his plans definitely hadn't included his adorable assistant and his lovely parents who welcome him into their home with open arms. No. This wasn't at all how his holiday break had been meant to play out. Sawyer's schedule had consisted of him showing up and spending the bare minimum amount of time with friends before going back to his cold apartment... alone. But then again, the best gifts don't always come wrapped in pretty bows. Sawyer finds himself grabbing the chance to share the season with Ford and his parents. What he'd secretly yearned for was now within his grasp... and even included a family to go along with the dream. When the weather clears will Sawyer find to the courage to accept that maybe, just maybe, he's found the perfect gift in Ford?

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

She’s just lost her job, her life is a mess, and the last thing she needs is to be at the center of her family’s passion for drama. Mick Finnegan survives on coffee, adrenaline, and one-night stands that don’t complicate her entrepreneurial lifestyle. She doesn’t have anyone she’s close to, so when an old college friend invites her to spend the holidays with his family, she jumps at the chance for a good old-fashioned Christmas. Logan and Mick are on the same hellish flight from DC to Kansas City, become stranded in Chicago overnight, and share the only available hotel room. Their chemistry is undeniable, and a fling seems like a fine idea, until Logan’s brother shows up, and they realize they’re going to be spending the entire holiday together. Being home for the holidays is complicated, and Logan and Mick are one food fight and a ride to jail away from learning to live without fear and love without limits.

Has Sawyer been leading a double-life this whole time and he's just too lovestruck to notice? Read Stranded With The Boss first to enjoy this finale of Sawyer and Ford's story!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " The Magic of Dreams: An American Diplomat's Journey relays the story of a retired American diplomat who served in the U.S. Foreign Service for forty-three years. Eleanor L. Akahloun shares a remarkable personal and professional journey from humble, yet inspiring beginnings in her tightly knit Cape Verdean American community in Massachusetts. Her firsthand account of working with the U.S. State Department provides a peek into her colorful adventures and valuable lessons learned from her travels across all seven continents. This book is an affirmation that dreams are magical, that there is beauty-- amidst challenges-- in chasing them. The memoir is written in a question-and-answer format, with a perfect blend of wit, intrigue, and light humor. The Magic of Dreams: An American Diplomat's Journey is a fascinating read that will leave the readers inspired. Fascinating Story about a Remarkable Woman, September 13, 2015 By M. E. Norris I thoroughly enjoyed reading Eleanor (Penny) Lopes Akahloun's memoir. It is a fascinating story about a remarkable woman. Ms. Akahloun, a Cape Verdean American, devoted 43 years of her life to serve as a career diplomat in the U.S. Foreign Service. She joined the Foreign Service at a time when the institution lacked diversity among its diplomatic corp. She overcame tremendous odds through perseverance, hard work, and a positive outlook-- characteristics which would help her tackle challenges throughout her life. Ms. Akahloun is someone who believes that we all have the capacity to enjoy life to the fullest. Her story is inspiring without being corny or unreal. Anyone who reads her book will take heart, no matter what their race, creed, gender, or age. The format of the book is akin to a long interview. The author begins by relating her family background, including the astounding story of how her grandfather journeyed to America from Cape Verde. She also tells us about her parents, remarkable individuals who worked and loved hard, providing the author with a nurturing and disciplined environment. Most of the rest of her book is about her life and adventures in the various countries in which she lived and served. These included Morocco (where she met her husband), Uruguay, Kenya, and China. The author intersperses the story of her life with interesting information on the political and economic situation of the country in which she was posted as well as the U.S. foreign policy goals in the country. This makes for an enriching history lesson without bogging readers down in too much detail. I hope that many people will read Ms. Akahloun's story and will be as strengthened and nourished as I was in reading it. "
