I’ve always been the brother who everyone calls the flirt. The one who isn’t too serious, the one who is a little…different. And I don’t mind that title. In fact, I use my ability to think outside of the box to help my family in their business. I’m also known as the player, although, I haven’t…suited up in a while. So maybe that’s why I’ve become completely infatuated with my old childhood friend Piper Abernathy. Just saying her name makes me itch beneath my skin. I want to know what she’s thinking, how she spends her days, and I fantasize what her hair smells like. Weird, right? And her lips…they are intoxicating. One taste will never be enough, and while I can talk her into my bed, she resists me beyond that. She says we make each other bonkers, and she doesn’t believe in happily ever after. For a woman who plans out ever minute of her day, she never counted on me, and I aim to prove to her there’s nothing wrong with crazy as long as we’re together. Author Note: If you’ve met Carter, you know just how insane he is. He’s in Juniper, wooing his old childhood friend, irritating his brother, making friends with the LOLs, and becoming at one with the Juniper Springs culture. And if you think he’s crazy with his family, just wait until you see the things he does to his lady love.

Popular, gorgeous and arrogant…and every girl in high school wanted to date him. And while Tamara can’t deny how attractive he was then—and is now—she has no time for schoolgirl crushes. Charged with revitalizing downtown Peachtree Cove, Tamara has a full plate, and that includes managing a contractor to lead the town’s efforts. So when Andre walks in the door for the project meeting, she can’t control her surprise. When Andre left Peachtree Cove, he swore he’d never move back. Too many bad memories.

She may have been a Goody Two-shoes back in school, but he never could forget those luminous brown eyes and kissable lips. Getting involved with her isn’t smart…for so many reasons. But he can’t seem to get her off his mind. And the more time they spend working together, the harder it is to let her go.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revenge may be sweet, but showing up at your ex’s wedding with a hot younger man is even sweeter. Carly has a secret. After a rant about women’s empowerment and too much chardonnay, she may have – accidentally? - slept with her frenemy’s son. Because the way he played her body was certainly…empowering. But she can’t think about that now, not when she must make over her struggling stylist business before she runs out of cash. The salt in her wound? Now her ex, the one with the iron-clad prenup that left her practically penniless, is marrying his girlfriend. And Carly’s invited. Enter Andrew, broken-hearted by the way Carly left him after their one-night stand. He has a problem of his own: though he’s the son of tech royalty, his boss won’t promote him until he looks like a settled banker. With a steady girlfriend. Andrew proposes a trade: Carly shows up on his arm for a couple of company events, and he’ll be her date for her ex’s destination wedding. All business, no sex. That won’t be a problem. There’s no way she’ll fall into bed with a sexy, younger man. Again. Oops. Swoon for this steamy standalone romantic comedy featuring a geeky, cinnamon-roll hero, fake (or is it?) dating, and fabulousness after forty.

And a temper that makes the devil seem friendly. He’ll leverage her hate as long as possible to keep his distance. When Willa asked Ryder to borrow his lecture notes, the silent, surly, mountain man ignored her. Ryder Bergman is an arrogant, infuriating flannel-wearing enigma. Mangy beard. Frayed ball cap that hides his eyes. And a stubborn refusal to acknowledge her existence. But Willa’s never backed down from a challenge. Forced to work together on their final project, Willa and Ryder begin a game of pranks and practical jokes, each determined to come out the champion. But once they catch unexpected feelings, victory begins to mean something else—winning each other’s hearts.

Download or read book Frenemies written by Ken Auletta and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate and profound reckoning with the changes buffeting the $2 trillion global advertising and marketing business from the perspective of its most powerful players, by the bestselling author of Googled Advertising and marketing touches on every corner of our lives, and the industry is the invisible fuel powering almost all media. Complain about it though we might, without it the world would be a darker place. But of all the industries wracked by change in the digital age, few have been turned on their heads as dramatically as this one. Mad Men are turning into Math Men (and women--though too few), an instinctual art is transforming into a science, and we are a long way from the days of Don Draper. Frenemies is Ken Auletta's reckoning with an industry under existential assault. He enters the rooms of the ad world's most important players, meeting the old guard as well as new powers and power brokers, investigating their perspectives. It's essential reading, not simply because of what it reveals about this world, but because of the potential consequences: the survival of media as we know it depends on the money generated by advertising and marketing--revenue that is in peril in the face of technological changes and the fraying trust between the industry's key players.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a best romance of the year by Entertainment Weekly Named a most anticipated romance by Oprah Daily, Marie Claire, BuzzFeed, PopSugar, and more! “There was no romance novel more fun this year than this extremely witty enemies-with-benefits confection.” —Entertainment Weekly The author of the “hilarious...joyful, elegant” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) To Have and to Hoax returns with an effervescent, charming, and swoon-worthy novel about a man and woman who never agree on anything—until they agree to a no-strings-attached affair in this Regency-era romp. The widowed Diana, Lady Templeton and Jeremy, Marquess of Willingham are infamous among English high society as much for their sharp-tongued bickering as their flirtation. One evening, an argument at a ball turns into a serious wager: Jeremy will marry within the year or Diana will forfeit one hundred pounds. So shortly after, just before a fortnight-long house party at Elderwild, Jeremy’s country estate, Diana is shocked when Jeremy appears at her home with a very different kind of proposition. After his latest mistress unfavorably criticized his skills in the bedroom, Jeremy is looking for reassurance, so he has gone to the only woman he trusts to be totally truthful. He suggests that they embark on a brief affair while at the house party—Jeremy can receive an honest critique of his bedroom skills and widowed Diana can use the gossip to signal to other gentlemen that she is interested in taking a lover. Diana thinks taking him up on his counter-proposal can only help her win her wager. With her in the bedroom and Jeremy’s marriage-minded grandmother, the formidable Dowager Marchioness of Willingham, helping to find suitable matches among the eligible ladies at Elderwild, Diana is confident her victory is assured. But while they’re focused on winning wagers, they stand to lose their own hearts. With Martha Waters’s signature “cheeky charm and wonderfully wry wit” (Booklist, starred review), To Love and to Loathe is another clever and delightful historical rom-com that is perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Evie Dunmore.
