Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, Miss Felicia Murdock's every thought and action have been in pursuit of becoming a minister's wife. When the minister she'd set her sights on has other ideas, she decides something in her life needs to change--and soon--before she wastes any more time pretending to be someone she's not. If that means spreading her wings and embracing a more lively way of life, who's to say nay? Grayson Sumner, Lord Sefton, has had more than enough of spreading his wings and only hopes to settle into the life of a respectable New York gentleman. Prompted by some friends to lift the spirits of the disappointed-in-love Miss Murdock, he is surprised to encounter an adventurous young lady with an unfortunate knack for stumbling into troublesome situations. Just as Grayson decides he's had quite enough of her antics, his past comes back to haunt him and his presence in Felicia's life endangers her. As they work together to extricate themselves from this latest complication, will Grayson and Felicia decide they want to spend the rest of their lives keeping one another out of trouble?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘I began to view the world, not as a safe space that liberated imagination and contentment, but as a hazardous, toxic, risky, no-go area, where every act and decision came with hidden dangers. To protect myself from a dangerous world, I had to become more dangerous.’ A Talent for Trouble is an energetic novel that sparkles with inspiration, irony and, above all, a fierce passion. In this post-modern biography, we meet and live through Eva; a radiant and rebellious dreamer; a provocative, unrelenting personality; with a magnetic charm, and an unquenchable thirst for curiosity, truth and dignity, in a wild world. We first encounter the young Eva as she struggles to adapt to life after losing everything, following her father’s bankruptcy. Not long after leaving school, Eva’s curiosity leads her to a dangerous liaison with a politician, who offers Eva the universe in exchange for her forbidden fruit. Eva’s world, as she discovers, soon becomes a primal minefield of predators. It’s a world of injustice, revenge and the abuse of power, where it must be ferociously fought with dignity, love and truth. As her dreams and security threaten to collapse around her, Eva vows to take control of her destiny. She is constantly forced to reinvent herself and explore her fantasies inside this labyrinthine, upside down, carnivalesque world of intrigue, shimmering, subversive discotheques, escort services, scandals, corruption and life as a devoted army wife. From her high school pranks to her adventures with controversial acquaintances and explosive love affairs, Eva’s life is a raw, emotional display of courage in a post-truth society, where she finds herself at war with cover ups, deceptions and institutional hypocrisy. Beneath the hard exterior of the bold language, there’s a precious and vulnerable side to the narrator, as explored during the climactic scenes with The General; which raises philosophical questions about honor, human nature, welfare, ethics and duplicity. Amid these assaults, Eva’s character, self-belief and spiritual relationship to God remain strong. We are all Eva.

Book excerpt: Fortune magazine editor Geoff Colvin offers new evidence that top performers in any field are not determined by their inborn talents. Greatness, he argues, does not come from DNA but from practice and perseverance honed over decades. The key to this is how successful people practice, how the results of practice are analysed and how they learn from their mistakes. This new mindset will change the way reader's think about their jobs and careers, and will inspire them to achieve more in all they do.

He could not have predicted that one day, in the middle of his summer of sexual emancipation, Rachel would just drop their two children off at his place and simply not return. He had been working so hard to find equilibrium in his single life. The winds of his optimism, long dormant, had finally begun to pick up. Now this. As Toby tries to figure out where Rachel went, all while juggling his patients at the hospital, his never-ending parental duties, and his new app-assisted sexual popularity, his tidy narrative of the spurned husband with the too-ambitious wife is his sole consolation. But if Toby ever wants to truly understand what happened to Rachel and what happened to his marriage, he is going to have to consider that he might not have seen things all that clearly in the first place. A searing, utterly unvarnished debut, Fleishman Is in Trouble is an insightful, unsettling, often hilarious exploration of a culture trying to navigate the fault lines of an institution that has proven to be worthy of our great wariness and our great hope.

Download or read book The Rare Find written by George Anders and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the nation's biggest music labels briefly signed Taylor Swift to a contract but let her go because she didn't seem worth more than $15,000 a year. At least four book publishers passed on the first Harry Potter novel rather than pay J. K. Rowling a $5,000 advance. And the same pattern happens in nearly every business. Anyone who recruits talent faces the same basic challenge, whether we work for a big company, a new start-up, a Hollywood studio, a hospital, or the Green Berets. We all wonder how to tell the really outstanding prospects from the ones who look great on paper but then fail on the job. Or, equally important, how to spot the ones who don't look so good on paper but might still deliver extraordinary performance. Over the past few decades, technology has made recruiting in all fields vastly more sophisticated. Gut instincts have yielded to benchmarks. If we want elaborate dossiers on candidates, we can gather facts (and video) by the gigabyte. And yet the results are just as spotty as they were in the age of the rotary phone. George Anders sought out the world's savviest talent judges to see what they do differently from the rest of us. He reveals how the U.S. Army finds soldiers with the character to be in Special Forces without asking them to fire a single bullet. He takes us to an elite basketball tournament in South Carolina, where the best scouts watch the game in a radically different way from the casual fan. He talks to researchers who are reinventing the process of hiring Fortune 500 CEOs. Drawing on the best advice of these and other talent masters, Anders reveals powerful ideas you can apply to your own hiring. For instance: Don't ignore "the jagged résumé"-people whose background appears to teeter on the edge between success and failure. Such people can do spectacular work in the right settings, where their strengths dramatically outweigh their flaws. Look extra hard for "talent that whispers"- the obscure, out-of-the- way candidates who most scouting systems overlook. Be careful with "talent that shouts"-the spectacular but brash candidates who might have trouble with loyalty, motivation, and team spirit. Each field that Anders explores has its own lingo, customs, and history. But the specific stories fit together into a bigger mosaic. In any field, there's an art to clearing away the clutter and focusing on what matters most. It's not necessarily hard, but it requires the courage to take a different approach in pursuit of the rare find.
