Cuffing And Loving

When a bartender decides to finally grow up and get her life together, the last thing she needs is a quiet (and handsome) bouncer with an adorable puppy to derail her plans. Things are about to get cuffed. Izzy Prewitt has always been the Prewitt wild child. She doesn't have a career yet, despite being in her mid-twenties, and she's been tending bar ever since she was of legal age. When she finally decides that she's going to become that better version of herself that her family can be proud of, the last thing she needs is to get embroiled in helping a coworker and his puppy. Izzy can tell that Callum's vibe is all about putting his head down and working hard, but Luna the puppy has other plans. Before Izzy knows it, she's invested in the pup's health and welfare, even if Callum seems to think of her as the consummate party girl that always gets her way. When Izzy spends Valentine's with Callum, she's wondering if something serious with him is up her alley, if Callum sees a future where they're both together. Except Izzy's always been the Prewitt Party Girl, and a serious relationship is something she's never really experienced. Can Callum be her first?

Described as 'the Catholic church's best kept secret,' Catholic Social Teaching provides a rich body of thought, and finds a particular resonance as all denominations in the church seek to engage with the needs of contemporary society. Yet beyond the immediate context of the Catholic church, it is all too readily ignored. Resolutely aimed at those who come from traditions beyond the movement’s traditional catholic heartlands but who seek to view their ministry through the lens of generous orthodoxy, "Love in Action" offers a deeply scriptural but accessible introduction to this vital approach to the church’s ministry in the world.

Mira Evans Devin King, my first-well, everything. They say you never forget your first. Whoever said that was right because no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get him out of my head or my heart. I foolishly thought my heart wouldn't miss what it couldn't see, but I was wrong because I never forgot, not for one moment. You're not supposed to kiss your best friend. You're not supposed to give your virginities to one another, either-but we did. We were kids, teenagers, full of hormones and mixed emotions, but it felt right. He was the first boy to kiss me, the first boy to touch me and taste me in a way only a lover would. "Say you want to be mine...." He whispered while I shook in his arms. And I did. And then he wrecked me. After I trusted him and gave myself to him, he disappeared, left me naked in my bed, the scent of him still lingering on my skin, the taste of kiss still fresh on my lips. He left me after the amazing night we shared after we became one another's and disappeared without a word. I didn't hear from him for almost ten years. Until one day, out of the blue, he pops up like a nasty rash as the newly appointed CEO of our firm. Our fathers are best friends, and they went into business together when we were kids, and now Evans and King is a renowned global brand. Was I shocked to see him standing in the office after a decade? Yes. Did I almost faint? Hell yes. My panties may have melted a little when he smiled right at me, but he wouldn't ever know that-because I hated him. But here I am, the VP of an established publication firm standing in the CEO's office handcuffed to the pompous jerk face. Why are we handcuffed, you ask? Well, that's a funny story...

The bestselling author of Hold Me Tight presents a revolutionary new understanding of why and how we love, based on cutting-edge research. Every day, we hear of relationships failing and questions of whether humans are meant to be monogamous. Love Sense presents new scientific evidence that tells us that humans are meant to mate for life. Dr. Johnson explains that romantic love is an attachment bond, just like that between mother and child, and shows us how to develop our "love sense" -- our ability to develop long-lasting relationships. Love is not the least bit illogical or random, but actually an ordered and wise recipe for survival. Love Sense covers the three stages of a relationship and how to best weather them; the intelligence of emotions and the logic of love; the physical and psychological benefits of secure love; and much more. Based on groundbreaking research, Love Sense will change the way we think about love.

"Grant Malone is not the reason I moved back to Sunnyville--at least that's what I tell myself. Yet, those parting words I said to him back in third grade, ring in my ears every time a townsperson brings up one of the Malone boys. I thought time had healed my wounds. I was wrong. Nothing could have prepared me for how I felt when I finally saw him again. Twenty years does a lot to turn a boy into a man. One who hits all my buttons--sexy, funny, attractive, and a police officer. But Grant is off limits because he knows too much about my past."--Back cover.
