An emotional love story that follows the touch-and-go relationship
of Hayden and Tenley; two young people who desperately want to love
and be loved but are afraid to completely let go of their pasts.
Their body art is hot. Their chemistry is even hotter. From her
dark hair sweeping below her waist to her soft, sexy curves, Tenley
Page intrigues tattoo artist Hayden Stryker in a way no one else
ever has...especially when she asks him to ink a gorgeous,
intricate design on her back. Yet for all her beauty, there is
something darkly tragic and damaged about Tenley that Hayden is
everything. Covered in ink and steel, Hayden is everything Tenley
has never dared to want, awakening a desire to explore more than
the art adorning his stunning body. Trapped by a past that leaves
her screaming from nightmares, Tenley sees Hayden as the perfect
escape. Although he has secrets too, if they both keep themselves
guarded perhaps their intense physical connection will remain only
that. But nothing, not even passion, can keep them safe from their
pasts...
Charming, hilarious, and emotional...When Sparks Fly is Helena
Hunting at her very best! Avery Spark is living her best life.
Between her friends, her sisters, and Spark House, the event hotel
her family owns, she doesn't have much time for anything else,
especially relationships. She'd rather hang out with her best
friend and roommate, Declan McCormick, than deal with the dating
scene. But everything changes when she is in a car accident and
needs someone to care for her as she heals. Declan avoids
relationships, giving him a playboy reputation that he lives up to
when he puts a one-night stand ahead of a promise he made to Avery.
While he may not have been the one driving the car, he feels
responsible for Avery's injuries and is determined to make it up to
her by stepping into the role of caretaker. Little did they know
that the more time they spend in compromising positions, the
attraction they've been refusing to acknowledge becomes impossible
to ignore. When they finally give in to the spark between them,
neither is prepared for the consequences. Their love is fragile and
all it will take is a blow from the past to shatter it all.
There are a few life events that Harley Spark would like to erase
from her memory. At the top of that list is the time she almost
kissed the widowed father of the baby she was nannying for. Soon
after the incident-that-shall-not-be-discussed, they moved out of
town and Harley never heard from them again. Since then, Harley
stopped nannying and began working with her sisters at Spark House,
but she never got over what happened. Seven years later, she comes
face-to-face with Gavin Rhodes and a now nine-year-old Peyton while
hosting a birthday party. Despite the initial awkwardness, Harley
ends up reconnecting with Peyton and Gavin. What begins as a
tentative friendship, soon morphs into something more. Having
finally moved away from his overbearing mother-in-law, Gavin is
happy to have Harley back in his and Peyton’s life. Only he
doesn’t expect to develop feelings for Harley, or to feel
territorial when he meets the guy she’s dating—and subsequently
breaks up with. But just as a happy-eve

A gorgeously illustrated and engaging guide to the world of art.
Immerse yourself in the amazing world of art in this beautiful book with text by Helena Hunt, stylishly illustrated by the inimitable print-maker James Brown.
What is art, and how have we used it to express ourselves throughout history? From cave painting right up to pop art; the Renaissance to twentieth-century sculpture, discover the stories behind great movements, processes and artists – both the household names and the perhaps not-so-familiar. Covering thirty topics, including printing, pigment, ceramics and pattern and photography, as well as Impressionism, Romanticism and Surrealism, this is a thoughtful and easily digestible approach to a huge subject.
Get inside the head of one of the most influential musicians of our
time, a pop music phenomenon turned titan of industry and cultural
icon: Taylor Swift. This collection of quotes has been carefully
curated from Swift's numerous public statements-interviews, op-eds,
social media posts, and more. It's a comprehensive picture of her
meteoric rise to the top, her ever-savvy business sense, and her
increasingly vocalized perspective on the music world and beyond.
Swift's catchy, chart-topping songs have propelled her to become
one of the bestselling musicians of all time. But in the 15 years
she's been making music, she has also amassed enough power to buck
the norms of an industry notorious for controlling the images of
its often very young female artists. Her latest, unprecedented
record deal gives her ownership of all her master records, the
ability to dictate the terms of her albums' streaming releases in
order to maximize her profits, and a requirement that her label
share proceeds from sale of its stake in Spotify with its
musicians. She has championed the rights of artists to earn fair
royalties, and more recently, she has inspired tens of thousands of
fans to register to vote. Swift's achievements have earned her
spots on both Forbes's Most Powerful Women and Time's 100 Most
Influential People lists. Now, for the first time, you can find her
most inspirational, thought-provoking quotes in one place.
Get inside the head of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, history's second woman
to serve as a Supreme Court justice. This collection of quotes has
been curated from Ruth Bader Ginsburg's numerous public
statements-interviews, court opinions, oral arguments from her time
as a lawyer, speeches, and more. It's a comprehensive picture of
her legacy and her impact on American history, specifically geared
toward middle and high school readers. The quotes in the collection
touch on equality, the law, feminism, the United States justice
system, education, and more. This edition includes educational
materials and resources for lesson plans designed to provoke
discussion and thought for readers in grades 7-12 about Ginsburg's
ideas. Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg earned respect and admiration
over the course of her remarkable lifetime, during which she broke
barriers and set her sights on the highest levels of achievement at
every turn. Beginning with her graduation from Cornell as the
highest-ranking woman in her class, and then her enrollment in
Harvard Law School in 1956, where she was one of only nine women in
a class of 500, she steadily moved up the ranks of the American
legal system until she was appointed as the second woman in history
to join the Supreme Court in 1993. During her time on the Supreme
Court, she became known for her fiery dissents, her fundamental
work toward equality and fair treatment, and her eloquent
thought-leadership. Even after her death in 2020, she serves as an
inspiration to all and a role model for women everywhere. Now, Ruth
Bader Ginsburg: In Her Own Words offers a unique look into the mind
of one of the world's most influential women by collecting 200 of
Ginsburg's most insightful quotes. Meticulously curated from
interviews, speeches, court opinions, dissents, and other sources,
Ruth Bader Ginsburg: In Her Own Words creates a comprehensive
picture of Ginsburg, her wisdom, and her legacy. Special
educational materials for classrooms are available from Agate
Publishing.
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Pucked series
comes a romantic comedy about instant attraction, second chances,
and not-so-little white lies. Sometimes I need an escape from the
demands, the puck bunnies, and the notoriety that come with being
an NHL team captain. I just want to be a normal guy for a few
weeks. So when I leave Chicago for some peace and quiet, the last
thing I expect is for a gorgeous woman to literally fall into my
lap on a flight to Alaska. Even better, she has absolutely no idea
who I am. Lainey is the perfect escape from my life. My plan for
seclusion becomes a monthlong sex fest punctuated with domestic
bliss. But it ends just as abruptly as it began. When I'm called
away on a family emergency, I realize too late that I have no way
to contact Lainey. A year later, a chance encounter throws Lainey
and me together again. But I still have a lie hanging over my head,
and Lainey's keeping secrets of her own. With more than lust at
stake, the truth may be our game changer.
The fur is about to fly between a cheerful cat sitter and a grumpy
hockey nerd in this hilarious and charming rom-com by the New York
Times bestselling author of Meet Cute. Kitty Hart has become
internet famous as the Kitty Whisperer for her expertise on all
things feline, and as a result, her cat-sitting business is
booming. But lately, she has a terrible feeling that maybe her life
isn't quite going where it's supposed to - especially after falling
face-first into her newest client. Not exactly the best first
impression. Fortunately, Miles Thorn is just as bad at first
impressions. Strike one: he doesn't like cats, especially Prince
Francis, the haughty and mischievous Sphynx his mom left in his
care. Strike two: tackling Kitty to the floor in a misguided
attempt to save the pet he continually calls 'the gremlin'. As
awkwardness slides into attraction and things start to turn
purr-sonal, will these two complete opposites ever be able to find
their furry-tail ending?
As two neighborhood shop owners battle for business, they prove
opposites attract in this "deliciously sweet and savory new
romantic comedy" (USA Today bestselling author Abby Jimenez).
Blaire Calloway has planned every Instagram-worthy moment of her
cupcake and cocktails shop launch down to the tiniest detail. What
she didn't plan on? Ronan Knight and his old-school sports bar next
door opening on the very same day. He may be super swoony, but
Blaire hasn't spent years obsessing over buttercream and bourbon to
have him ruin her chance at success. From axe throwing (his place)
to frosting contests (hers), Blaire and Ronan are constantly trying
to one-up each other in a battle to win new customers. But with
every clash, there's also an undeniable chemistry. When an even
bigger threat to their business comes to town, they're forced to
call a temporary time-out on their own war and work together. And
the more time Blaire spends getting to know the real Ronan, the
more she wonders if it's possible to have her cupcake and eat it
too. "Kiss My Cupcake is a laugh-out-loud romance full of charm,
wit and magic. Ronan and Blaire will have you fall in love with
their story from their very first encounter. A thoroughly delicious
read." --LJ Shen, USA Today bestselling author "With a sweet, sassy
heroine and a deliciously sexy hero, Kiss My Cupcake is romantic
comedy perfection!" -- Melanie Harlow, USA Today bestselling author
Library Journal Best Romances of 2020
An Amazon Charts bestseller. From the New York Times bestselling
author of Pucked and A Lie for a Lie, a new stand-alone romance
about trading favors, battling wills, and winning love. When I
joined Seattle's NHL expansion team, I thought it was the start of
something great. But nothing ever goes the way you expect. Take my
introduction to my new neighbor. She came rolling in on the hot
mess express at midnight, making a racket while she tried to get
into my team captain's apartment. Did I mention that he's married
to a woman who definitely was not her? Imagine my surprise when I
end up with an injury that has me out of the game for weeks, and
she's the one to offer to help me. I should probably add that she's
not the captain's mistress. She's his sexy, pastel-haired younger
sister. So we come up with an arrangement: she rehabs me so that I
can get back on the ice sooner, and she can add a professional
athlete that isn't her brother to her client list. Seems simple
enough. As long as I can keep my hands to myself and my hormones in
check.

Charming, hilarious, and emotional, Starry-Eyed Love is Helena
Hunting at her very best! Having just broken up with her boyfriend,
London Spark is not in the mood to be hit on. Especially not when
she's out celebrating her single status with her sisters. So when a
very attractive man pays for their drinks and then slips her his
number, she passes it right back to him with a 'thanks, but no
thanks'. As the business administrator for their family's event
hotel, the Spark House, London has more important things to worry
about, like bringing in new clientele. As luck would have it, a
multi-million-dollar company calls a few months later asking for a
meeting to discuss a potential partnership, and London is eager to
prove to her sisters, and herself, that she can land this deal.
Just when she thinks she has nailed her presentation, the company's
CEO, Jackson Holt, walks in and inserts himself into the meeting.
Not only that, but he also happens to be the same guy she turned
down at the bar a few months ago. As they begin to spend more time
together, their working relationship blossoms into something more.
It isn't until their professional entanglements are finally over,
that London and Jackson are finally ready to take the next step in
their relationship. But between Jackson's secretive past and
London's struggle with her sisters, London must question where she
really stands - not just with Jackson, but with the Spark House,
too.

Jeff Bezos started Amazon in 1994 as an online bookstore based out of his garage. Since then, the ever-expanding enterprise has revolutionized shopping and, in many important ways, invented e-commerce as we know it. Today, Amazon is the third-most valuable company in the world, and Bezos's vast customer-oriented empire has mushroomed to include everything from cloud computing and fresh food delivery to movie production and consumer electronics. In recent years, Bezos also has invested in rocket technology, newspaper publishing, and artificial intelligence. Every arm of Bezos's business, however, is guided by a fundamental goal: to give customers what they want before they even think to ask for it.
Jeff Bezos: In His Own Words offers a unique look into the mind of one of the world's most successful entrepreneurs by collecting more than 500 of Bezos's quotes on business, technology, customer service, e-commerce, innovation, entrepreneurship, and more. Meticulously curated from interviews, speeches, shareholder letters, press releases, and other sources, this book creates a comprehensive picture of Jeff Bezos, his obsessions, and what makes his ventures thrive.
After more than 20 years at the helm of Amazon and its subsidiaries, Bezos continues to operate on what he calls "Day One time" in order to maintain the early experimental spirit of his business. Since the beginning, when he first saw the potential of the internet as a powerful tool for commerce, he has looked for trends and technologies that can alter not just business but daily life. Jeff Bezos: In His Own Words reveals in detail a man who wants to push the future forward―and will inspire readers to do the same.
