From Colleen Hoover, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Starts with Us and It Ends with Us, a heart-wrenching love story that proves attraction at first sight can be messy. When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she doesn't think it's love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her. Never ask about the past. Don’t expect a future. They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all. Hearts get infiltrated. Promises get broken. Rules get shattered. Love gets ugly.

Starting Ugly is a timeless tale about change and innovation, told through the entertaining parable of Gregory Sharp. Gregory is a businessman who's youth was spent creating a very successful lumber business. But as he continues to grow his company, he becomes blind to the practices and tools that helped him innovate. Unable to see past his blind spots, Gregory is about to lose everything, until he comes to a revelation that his former employee, Jeff helps him see: that perfect execution is critical; but constantly innovating by starting ugly is vital to continual success. Start Ugly is a call to arms to encourage you to take action on your ideas and creations so you can release yourself from the chains of perfectionism and experience the joy and growth that comes with launching. It's also a powerful reminder to continually innovate so complacency doesn't allow you to become obsolete in our fast-paced world.

"How can I make a difference in the world? I'm just an ordinary kid!" That may be true, but you can still make your life a gift to others. This book by thirteen-year-old author, spokeschild, and world traveler Sondra Clark describes how even small actions can make a big difference. In You Can Change Your World!, Sondra shows step by step how to become closer to your family, make your school and community stronger, and volunteer to help others. Watch for cool ideas like these: * Slip an "I love you" note in your Dad's pocket. * If you see someone sitting alone at lunch, invite them to sit with your group. * Organize a glove and hat drive in the winter and donate items to a shelter. * Be a volunteer tooth brusher at a crocodile ranch (Oh! This is one you don't want to get involved with.) * Read to residents of an assisted living center. * Help out at a wildlife center or nature habitat. Though she's had some extraordinary experiences, Sondra has found plenty of everyday ways to make a difference. It begins, she says, by doing something nice for someone else. But once you start, watch out: You never know where one act of kindness may lead you!
