Blurb Reilly I learnt the hard and painful way that men don't stay, ever. Even the ones you trust the most can be taken away in the blink of an eye. It's easier to keep them at a distance. I have my fun with men and then part ways. I've spent the last five years of my life avoiding any and all emotional connections with men. I've been successful at it too. I've built up walls with so much mortar and rendered them around my heart. That is, until Bray freaking Williamson came barging into my life with his perfectly sculpted tattooed body and entrancing green eyes. He was like being tempted by the most delicious chocolate brownie, the perfect mixture of rough on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. He came at me with his damn bulldozer, effectively destroying my carefully constructed walls, brick by brick, leaving a pile of rubble behind. Do I follow what my fragile heart wants and give into temptation? Give him the key to my heart, knowing how easily he could crush it?

One way or another, she's going to pay back what she's stolen. Although, it won't be in the form of cash. Breanna I love winning, even if I have to cheat to get to the finish line.

I wanted him to notice me. To see that I wasn't a little girl anymore. And that was my mistake, because he did more than notice. There is no going back now. That flame we've both been dousing in denial has just been ignited. Can I really play with fire without getting burned? Or will everything around me turn to ash?

Julietta’s been burned before—and trusting her brother-in-law’s friend, whose powerful gaze alone has her rethinking the best use of a conference room, is the riskiest proposition.

We're all spending the holiday at my Aunt Ella's beach house. We're not the only ones spending Christmas on this beach though. When my eyes spot the new neighbour, I can't look away. I'm caught in a trance, in watching the show he's putting on through the bedroom window. Even as his eyes meet mine, and he finishes, I still can't seem to look away. If only I wasn't currently in a house surrounded by my entire family. Alex The girl from the window has been on my mind, night and day, for the past few days. I've stared out of that same window for hours, hoping to just catch a glimpse of her. I've seen at least a dozen different people come and go from the room, even one who looked just like her. But that girl wasn't her. I'm tempted to just storm through the front door and search until I find her, except I know exactly whose house that is. As much as I want to take what's mine, I currently have a multi-million dollar deal in the works with McKinley Industries-the very same people who own that property. When I meet one of the family members on the beach and get invited to dinner, I don't hesitate to accept. This is my chance to see her again. Every fibre of my being wants to claim her as mine. But can I really entangle this innocent woman in my dark world?

Is there a way for them to combine forces, drawing on both their strengths, in ways that also increase their missional impact? Church merger consultant Jim Tomberlin, with co-writer Warren Bird, makes the case that mergers today work best not with two struggling churches but with a vital, momentum-filled lead church partnering with a joining church. In this new book, they provide a complete, practical, hands-on guide for church leaders of both struggling and vibrant churches so that they can understand the issues, develop strategies, and execute a variety of forms of merger for church expansion and renewal to reinvigorate declining churches and give them a "second life."

Julianna Baggott presents her beautifully written, riveting, breakout novel, PURE, the first volume in her new post-apocalypse thriller trilogy. We know you are here, our brothers and sisters . . . Pressia barely remembers the Detonations or much about life during the Before. In her sleeping cabinet behind the rubble of an old barbershop where she lives with her grandfather, she thinks about what is lost-how the world went from amusement parks, movie theaters, birthday parties, fathers and mothers . . . to ash and dust, scars, permanent burns, and fused, damaged bodies. And now, at an age when everyone is required to turn themselves over to the militia to either be trained as a soldier or, if they are too damaged and weak, to be used as live targets, Pressia can no longer pretend to be small. Pressia is on the run. Burn a Pure and Breathe the Ash . . . There are those who escaped the apocalypse unmarked. Pures. They are tucked safely inside the Dome that protects their healthy, superior bodies. Yet Partridge, whose father is one of the most influential men in the Dome, feels isolated and lonely. Different. He thinks about loss-maybe just because his family is broken; his father is emotionally distant; his brother killed himself; and his mother never made it inside their shelter. Or maybe it's his claustrophobia: his feeling that this Dome has become a swaddling of intensely rigid order. So when a slipped phrase suggests his mother might still be alive, Partridge risks his life to leave the Dome to find her. When Pressia meets Partridge, their worlds shatter all over again.

When Auntie Ned spontaneously combusts, she leaves behind a pair of smoking orthopedic shoes and a house that she wills to her best friend's daughters. Amy and Gwendolyn are sisters--closer than close--who move into Ned's bungalow and inherit her legacies: a closet full of housedresses, a freezer full of meat, and the passionate flames of unrequited desire. Amy's appetites--for meat, for sex, for getting her way--are ferocious, while Gwendolyn longs for a more normal existence but can't refuse her big sister anything at all. Not the intrusion of Dr. Minor, Professor of Pyrophenomena, who has come to investigate Auntie Ned's death. And not the presence in their bed of Roosevelt, a troubled carpenter whose steamy entanglement with the sisters will either save them all or create a situation that's bound to combust. ...a good Hollywood thriller... as well done as an exercise in flash defrosting. Spontaneous microwaves rather than thaws... - Kirkus Reviews
