Book excerpt: As a single mother, and deadly operative, Tanya knows she can’t screw up. So, explain how she ended up in his bed. A teenage pregnancy left Tanya struggling to survive with a baby. Fast forward years later and she’s established herself as a first-class hacker, working for an elite agency—with benefits. Life is good, and being a secret agent doesn’t stop her from driving her son to compete in a hockey tournament happening in Quebec. What’s not so good is finding Cory’s father there. A man everyone thought dead. Who thinks he can rekindle things with a smile. It will take more than that for Tanya to forgive, especially considering she’s fighting a temptation to kill. How dare Antoine think he can walk back into her life? And how will she explain his reappearance to their son? It would be easier to shoot him, but she can’t, which means, Bad Boy Inc. operative Devon isn’t allowed to shoot him either. Speaking of, why is Devon at the ski resort anyway? Tanya doesn’t believe for one minute that he’s on holiday, and when he needs her to pretend to be his girlfriend for a top-secret mission, she finds it only too easy to imagine the role becoming real. But when her son goes missing, this hockey mom has to put aside passion and romance and remember who she is: a killer mom who won’t let anyone hurt her baby.

Book Synopsis Queen Bee Moms & Kingpin Dads by : Rosalind Wiseman
Download or read book Queen Bee Moms & Kingpin Dads written by Rosalind Wiseman and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2007-01-30 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens to Queen Bees and Wannabes when they grow up? Even the most well-adjusted moms and dads can experience peer pressure and conflicts with other adults that make them act like they’re back in seventh grade. In Queen Bee Moms & Kingpin Dads, Rosalind Wiseman gives us the tools to handle difficult situations involving teachers and other parents with grace. Reassuring, funny, and unfailingly honest, Wiseman reveals: • Why PTA meetings and Back-to-School nights tap into parents’ deepest insecurities • How to recognize the archetypal moms and dads—from Caveman Dad to Hovercraft Mom • How and when to step in and step out of your child’s conflicts with other children, parents, teachers, or coaches • How to interpret the code phrases other parents use to avoid (or provoke) confrontation • Why too many well-meaning dads sit on the sidelines, and how vital it is that they step up to the plate • What to do and say when the playing field becomes an arena for people to bully and dominate other kids and adults • How to have respectful yet honest conversations with other parents about sex and drugs when your values are in conflict • How the way you handle parties, risky behavior, and academic performance affects your child • How unspoken assumptions about race, religion, and other hot-button subjects sabotage parents’ ability to work together Queen Bee Moms & Kingpin Dads is filled with the kind of true stories that made Wiseman’s New York Times bestselling book Queen Bees & Wannabes impossible to put down. There are tales of hardworking parents with whom any of us can identify, along with tales of outrageously bad parents—the kind we all have to reckon with. For instance, what do you do when parents donate a large sum of money to a school and their child is promptly transferred into the honors program–while your son with better grades doesn’t make the cut? What about the mother who helps her daughter compose poison-pen e-mails to yours? And what do you say to the parent-coach who screams at your child when the team is losing? Wiseman offers practical advice on avoiding the most common parenting “land mines” and useful scripts to help you navigate difficult but necessary conversations. Queen Bee Moms & Kingpin Dads is essential reading for parents today. It offers us the tools to become wiser, more relaxed parents–and the inspiration to speak out, act according to our values, show humility, and set the kind of example that will make a real difference in our children’s lives. Also available as a Random House AudioBook and as an eBook

Book excerpt: Chocolate is the only way to this confectioner’s heart—until a gorgeous hockey player becomes her man candy … Fresh from studying chocolate making in Europe, Kenley Hunter is ready to build her own business, Confection Consultations. Sinful truffles and exotic chocolates are her only passion—as the idea of romance is about as appealing as a piece of stale candy. A natural beauty, Kenley has been judged more often for her appearance than anything she’s accomplished, but people respect her knowledge and wizardry with chocolate—focusing on the delights she serves rather than what she looks like. Throwing herself into her career allows her to avoid romance—as her biggest fear is that once a man gets past her beauty, he will be disappointed in what he will find. When sexy hockey player Nate Johansson defends Kenley’s desire to be herself in a photoshoot—by ripping off his jersey and volunteering to be the eye candy a magazine is trying to force her to be—her plans to avoid romance begin to fall like a bad soufflé. Will Kenley be brave enough to take a chance on romance with Nate? Or will fears of the past freeze this game of love before the puck is dropped? If you enjoy laugh out loud humor, swoony heroes, and delicious romance, you’ll love The Definition of Icing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the NASSS Outstanding Book Award Hockey and multiculturalism are often noted as defining features of Canadian culture; yet, rarely are we forced to question the relationship and tensions between these two social constructs. This book examines the growing significance of hockey in Canada’s South Asian communities. The Hockey Night in Canada Punjabi broadcast serves as an entry point for a broader consideration of South Asian experiences in hockey culture based on field work and interviews conducted with hockey players, parents, and coaches in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. This book seeks to inject more “color” into hockey’s historically white dominated narratives and representations by returning hockey culture to its multicultural roots. It encourages alternative and multiple narratives about hockey and cultural citizenship by asking which citizens are able to contribute to the webs of meaning that form the nation’s cultural fabric.
