Tristan Grant's entertainment venues are now the most popular in the country, but his success has come at a price. Larry and Debbie Shipton, his main competitors, are resorting to sabotage to regain their number one position. But that's not the most shocking news. The woman he had a one-night stand with claims she's pregnant with his baby. The problem is, he can't afford to trust her-because her name is Paige Shipton, and she is Larry and Debbie's daughter. Too bad he didn't know that before he slept with Paige, but he's determined not to make any more mistakes when it comes to dealing with the devious Shiptons. If only he can find a way to stop being so attracted to Paige... Can Paige save her heart from being irreparably broken? Paige Shipton is going ahead with her pregnancy. It doesn't matter that the father is Tristan Grant-the man who accuses her of deception simply because of who her parents are. She wants the baby, and she's prepared to raise it alone. When she tells Tristan he doesn't need to be involved, his answer surprises her, and she soon finds herself falling deeply for the man determined to ruin the Shipton name. With the conflict between Tristan and her parents escalating to destructive heights, can Paige avoid getting her heart irreparably broken? *** The Unexpected Husband can be read as a standalone.

Book excerpt: Unreal City: a cartoon megalopolis where towers are built of cotton candy, facts scatter like pixie dust, and the truth is whatever you feel it to be. And it's no fantasy. It's where we live. "We dwell in Unreal City. We believe in un-being." With saber-like wit, poet and professor Anthony Esolen leads readers on a tour through the ruins of their own Western world—through king-size bookstores, manicured college campuses, strobe-lit choir lofts, mechanized farms, divorce courts, drag-queen libraries, and beyond. This hilarious guide to a culture gone mad with sex and self-care minces no words and spares no egos. We the people of Unreal City are no better, and certainly no smarter, than our fathers.

Esolen lights a torch and heads up the well-trod path back to our cleaner, kinder, truer homeland: Earth.

After months of caring for her terminally ill mother, Rebecca Rivera is left all alone in a world she doesn't trust--but she's determined not to let her mother's death define her. Losing her job, having to pummel some jerk for being too handsy, and living in her car are just temporary setbacks to an otherwise solid plan in finding her footing. Full of pride and used to being in control of her life, she's certain she can make it on her own. The last thing Rebecca needs is a man to fix her troubles--even if that man is strikingly handsome, wealthy, and charismatic Pierce Braden. Pierce is a powerful real estate investor on the verge of a major acquisition. As the eldest of six siblings raised by a single mother, he's spent his life protecting those he loves. He's used to being in charge and making things right, and although he'd give his life for his family, he treats the women he dates as expendable--until he meets sexy and stubborn Rebecca Rivera, a woman who is as strong as she is vulnerable. Passion ignites between them, and the two share their most intimate thoughts and desires. It doesn't take long for Pierce to realize that Rebecca is as determined not to be saved as he is to find a way into her heart. As their love grows, Rebecca must face fears she didn't even realize she had--and Pierce must learn the hard truth that sometimes less really is more.

Book Synopsis Push, Then Breathe by : Luissa Kiprono
Download or read book Push, Then Breathe written by Luissa Kiprono and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only limits to what you can do are the ones you impose on yourself. From fond memories of growing up in her native Romania and the social changes of the communist regime of Nicolae Ceausescu to shocking captivity and abuse at the hands of her father in the United States, Dr. Kiprono details her eventual escape to freedom, independence, and success. Once free of her father, Dr. Kiprono’s hard work, determination, and positivity allowed her to overcome circumstances that most people cannot imagine. Dr. Kiprono’s message of hope and positivity to all women is that they are worthy, their goals matter, and the only limit on them are the ones they impose on themselves. As proof of this, Dr. Kiprono fulfilled her life-long dream of becoming a doctor and now specializes in high-risk pregnancies. She now shares the knowledge and wisdom she gained with the world and women—especially women who have felt the weight of evil and isolation. Her memoir and debut work will stun and inspire readers in equal measure. “We may be marked by our past, but we are not defined by it . . .Dr. Luissa K relentlessly pursued her own pathway. Now, she realizes a magnificent reality of doing something for others . . . Accept her invitation to stop sifting through the ashes of events of your life and follow her as a reliable guide to the construction of a new you. Her heroism and bravery are infectious. Catch them!” —Scott Wiggins, Brigadier General, USAF (Ret) “Luissa’s inspiring story invites us to follow the life of a young and beautiful woman who is both tested and encouraged . . . “ —Amy Cathey, Ph.D. Dean, Graduate & Executive Education, Haslam College of Business, University of Tennessee, Knoxville “ . . . Her journey provides a roadmap to all who suffer and offers a way out through a deep commitment to an inspirational vision.” —Roger Saillant, Ph.D. Author of The Power of Being Seen, Entrepreneur, Executive Leader “Push, Then Breathe challenges and inspires readers with its unflinching honesty and heartfelt grace . . “ —Brian Lawrence, PhD. MEd, MA, Keystone School, San Antonio, TX From Push, Then Breathe "... the walls I had raised within my soul were built out of something stronger than brick and mortar and meant to protect the single most beautiful seedling left: hope. A belief that one day I could achieve the only dream left unbroken, unspoiled, unhurt. These walls were built out of my beautiful childhood and adolescence in Romania, the daily normalcy, the simple truths, the sun’s bright light, the wishes made with every New Moon—Craiul Nou. The multicolor of the fragrant roses I strolled by, the green of the trees I rested under, the dewy grass I walked on barefoot by the riverbanks of the Danube, the church mass songs I prayed, the Habanera aria I hummed, the carefree laughs, and the peaceful dreamy nights. All these experiences intertwined with the love poured over me for the first eighteen years and eleven months of my life in Romania to keep me from crumbling. And once everything seemed lost, I created anchors in my new life: the 59-second lifelines with Mom, the letters, the recipes, the college classes, my little Suzette, the two brief trips home. These experiences continued to feed my living walls to keep me sane, focused, and hopeful. This was meant to be my walk through the valley of the shadows, and I would make it to the other side.” Luissa Kiprono is passionate about helping women believe in and achieve goals that seem impossible to reach. She is a physician and high-risk pregnancy specialist, as well as the founder of World Gateway Perinatal Consultants & TeleMed MFM, which provides virtual medical care for high-risk pregnancies. Luissa is the founder and CEO of Dr. Luissa K humanitarian foundation. She is on a mission to Empower Women Everywhere to find their voice and fight against inequality, violence and abuse, and prevail against injustice. She is an avid triathlete, multiple long-distance Ironman® races finisher, and mother of two. Luissa lives In Texas with her husband, mother, two sons, and their two cats, Skylar and Tigress.
