Sisterhood is the secret weapon for two women at crossroads in a
bighearted multigenerational novel about family, forgiveness, and
fresh starts by the author of The After Party. When Rita McCall
discovers her husband's affair, there isn't a lick of surprise-not
a single tear or broken heart. Just a wife and mother who's over it
and ready to watch her twenty-three-year marriage go up in flames.
Sticking close, thick as thieves since childhood, Rita's
unfailingly loyal cousins Jemel and Sharae become her lifeline.
They stand beside her as she contemplates a new career and
navigates the murky waters of being a preacher's daughter disgraced
by scandal. Although she would never turn her back on her cousin,
Sharae has her own issues to deal with after learning of her
father's jailhouse death and an inheritance she doesn't want. The
last things she needs right now are a handsome lawyer snooping
around in her business and a secret that comes back to bite. With
the cousins at life-changing crossroads, it'll take the wisdom of
the Aunts and their family's legacy of feeding the soul to guide
them through the painful secrets, betrayals, and empowering
revelations ahead. They'll learn that what matters most is holding
tight to love, to the promise of happiness, and most of all to each
other.
CONSTRUCTION RISK MANAGEMENT DECISION MAKING Explores the relevance
of systems thinking and behavioral science in construction risk
management Effective risk management is a vital component of all
successful construction projects. Although quantitative tools for
evaluating data and minimizing risk are readily available,
construction managers commonly adopt a more innate,
experience-based approach. In Construction Risk Management Decision
Making, project manager and senior consultant Alex C. Arthur
provides step-by-step advice on assessing and prioritizing risk
using qualitative decision-making systems in the construction
industry. Incorporating key theories and concepts from systems
thinking and behavioral science, this highly practical guide
focuses on the behavior patterns of real people in the industry,
rather than complex quantitative techniques and data. Concise,
easy-to-understand chapters highlight the current practices of
construction risk management while helping readers view risk and
decision making from a broader perspective. Throughout the book,
the author presents invaluable insights into the ways construction
professionals think and behave in the real world. Addresses the
actual risk management practices of construction professionals
Applies human behavioral theories to the study of construction risk
management decision making Illustrates the highly intuitive
approaches prevalent in various construction projects Features
real-life case studies and practical examples throughout
Construction Risk Management Decision Making is an excellent
textbook for advanced students in project management, engineering,
construction, and surveying courses, and a must-have guide for
practitioners of construction management, surveying, and
architecture.
Three women form an unbreakable bond in a sexy, suspenseful, and
adventurous novel about empowerment and sisterhood through thick
and thin. Venus McGee, Draya Carter, and Jackie Benson are
coworkers with a lot in common. They're smart, independent, driven,
and deserving of recognition-certainly more than they've been
handed by a demoralizing boss. He's the topic of conversation at
their impromptu get-together after the company holiday party, where
the threesome fantasizes about a life without him. There has to be
an alternative to taking a deep breath and sucking it up. There is.
It's just not the one they expected. When morning comes, Venus,
Draya, and Jackie are blindsided by murder-a twist of fate that
brings a startling new challenge to the table and forces them to
navigate a hair-raising detour they never saw coming. For better
and (unless they can help it) for worse, it's going to turn their
world upside down. What starts as a necessary bond of mutual trust
soon morphs into an empowering and galvanizing friendship that
Venus, Draya, and Jackie need now more than ever.

PLEASURED BY A DONOVAN A dangerous Donovan. Benjamin Donovan is one
of Las Vegas' top defense attorneys, his dynamic and debonair
personality winning kudos in the courtroom, while breaking hearts
in the process. But Ben draws the line at going against his ethics,
except when those ethics lead a line of murder directly to his
door. And the woman that steals his heart. She'd been rejecting him
for as long as she's known him and years later, prosecutor Victoria
Lashley is still giving Ben a run for his money. Only this time,
Victoria has no choice but to team up with Ben as her job is on the
line and the killer she's prosecuting has set his sights on her.
Will she lose the biggest case of her career, along with her life?
Not if a Donovan has anything to do with it. HEART OF A DONOVAN A
Family Affair Regan Donovan loves her family first and her job
second. She's never been the "happily ever after" type and prides
herself on keeping a cool head at all times-until Gavin Lucas shows
up at the Donovan Family Reunion, uninvited, unwelcome, and
undeniably irresistible. Risking It All She absolutely despises him
and has made no secret of that fact. But Gavin Lucas knows better,
he's seen the passion in her eyes and the spark of attraction
between them keeps him awake at night. Regan Donovan is the woman
for him, the one he's yearned for all his life. She's also the
reason he's traveled to the Donovan private island when he should
have been promoting his restaurant, because Gavin will stop at
nothing to win the heart of this Donovan. A weather disaster is
predicted, an escaped convict is on the loose, and a wedding will
be interrupted-will love once again prevail for the Donovans?
