1000 tulosta hakusanalla Jeanette a Watts
For fans of Pamela Kelley and Shana Abe, the tempestuous tale of a soul with dreams of a life that is more than what his family has planned for him. Thomas' life seems to be a matter of running from one shocking turn of events after another. Rather than scandalize all of Gilded Age Pittsburgh, he is forced to marry a woman he does not love. But he does manage to fall in love with a fascinating older woman. Having a crush on a smart, warm, beautiful - and married - Regina Waring alternates between pain and ecstasy. She is his confidante who knows the secret of his unhappy marriage. She knows all his secrets - except for the most important one. Running for their lives through a riot and a flood, coping with death in the family and torturous funerals, living through good times and bad, proving over and over that money can't buy happiness, Thomas and Regina form a bond of friendship that makes the truth impossible to say out loud. But the secret gets harder and harder to keep...
Alexandria Bellefleur meets Lola Keeley at Jane Austen. Privileged class from NYC meets rising Air Force pilot. But her family didn't approve. Eight years later, can they rekindle an old flame? Or is there too much hurt and misunderstanding in the way? "It is a tribute to Watts' sensitivity and skill that the narrative, while following the original story closely, holds plenty of tension and some cleverly engineered surprises... the whole thing is great fun as Watts brings Jane Austen's tale of yearning and missed opportunity bang up to date." - Jocelyn Bury, Jane Austen's Regency World "All the heart and humor of your favorite Regency romance but with a modern sensibility that truly allows love to triumph over every obstacle." - Miranda MacLeod, Author of the Love's Encore series "An interesting, thought-provoking and sweet novel." - Maria Biajoli, Professor of English Literature, UNIFAL
Waltzing. It's been called the Queen of all dances. It has survived for over 100 years. It has gone from too racy for polite company to the ultimate dance of romance. A tango may be sexy, but it's the waltz that has the last word in love. Dance instructor Jeanette Watts takes you literally step-by-step through the waltz, explaining everything about where to put your hands, where to put your feet, and where to watch for trouble spots. With humor and clear language, she gives simple explanations that will soon have you whirling about the dance floor with variations both old and new And, if you get lost, there are links to instructional videos to help clear up any questions.
For fans of Pamela Kelley and Shana Abe, the tale of a woman who wants more than what society expects of her. Regina was a rags-to-riches bride who seems to have it all: a rich husband, servants, amazing jewels, gorgeous bustle dresses, and more than one successful business. But appearances are deceiving. The marriage is a fraud, the business is trembling on the brink of ruin, the appearance of wealth is an illusion. As Regina wonders how she is going to survive, Thomas Baldwin comes into her life. Handsome, young, and a good listener in a world full of men telling her what to do, it is love at first sight. But Thomas is strictly off-limits. Trying to content herself with friendship, Regina ignores the slow burn. When she finds herself a widow, she forces herself to avoid the temptation Thomas presents, and keep to men her own age. But happily-ever-after could be hers, if only she had the courage to tell the truth...

Someone Wants Her Dead Someone has a stake in silencing Maria Anna's latent memories from childhood, someone with secrets worth killing for.

The Contract Professional's Playbook: The Definitive Guide to Maximizing Value Through Mastery of Performance- and Outcome-Based Contracting

"While early career practitioners may understand the value of drafting, negotiating, and managing exceptional contracts, they often struggle to master the requisite skills. This comprehensive manual helps structure the negotiation process, thereby minimizing the perilous process of trial-and-error, expediting competency with leading practices and tools that can help reduce risk and speed outcomes for both buy-side and sell-side alike." -- Gregg Kirchhoefer, P.C., IAOP Leadership Hall of Fame Member, Kirkland & Ellis LLPEver increasing demand for performance- and outcome-based agreements stems from pressure for enterprises to drive greater value from their strategic customer/supplier relationships. To achieve expected performance, contractual relationships are increasingly complex and interdependent, requiring more stakeholders be involved in the decision making. Unfortunately for contract professionals held accountable to these requirements there has been little in the way of resources that answer their "how to" questions about drafting, negotiating, and managing performance- and outcome-based agreements. Until now The Contract Professional's Playbook (and corresponding eLearning program) walks subject matter experts who may be new to complex contracting step-by-step through all aspects of the contract life cycle. Invaluable competencies include identifying and managing risk, increasing influence with stakeholders, developing pricing models, negotiating complex deals, and governing customer-supplier relationships to avoid value leakage in the midst of constant change. It's an invaluable resource that raises the bar for buy-side and sell-side practitioners alike.

Losing Me, While Losing You is a long-needed resource to those providing care for persons with dementia - and for those providing care to the caregivers. In this book, caregivers speak from their own experiences of caring for loved ones with dementia; they cover when they first noticed behavioural changes, what they did and how their role changed when they received the diagnosis, how the experiences changed their perceptions of themselves, especially in cases where important ones no longer recognized them or their, often long-standing, relationships. The caregivers also talked about what resources, if any, were available to support them through the caregiving journey, what recommendations they would make to government policymakers and to others in similar situations. This book is unique in that it documents the personal lived experience of loss which family, friends and caregivers go through as their roles, expectations and images of self are changed throughout the caregiving process.
