FROM INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING EROTIC ROMANCE AUTHOR SIERRA CARTWRIGHT 'Even Racier Than Fifty Shades' ~ Mail Online 'Cartwright's writing is wonderful. The words flow easily, and as with earlier books I was seduced into the world she creates. Also, as I've mentioned in other reviews, she has a knack of teaching about the BDSM lifestyle through her books without detracting from the erotic, without making it seem like an actual lesson. Everything seems natural and the story rolls effortlessly.' ~ Long and Short Reviews Book six in the Mastered series. What could be headier than the surrender of a powerfully dominant woman? Dom Damien Lowell has always respected Domme Catrina Davidson. He likes the way she interacts with her subs, confident, kind, firm. And for years he's fantasised about her submitting to him. What could be hotter than having the sexy Domme squirming beneath his lash? One evening, Damien challenges her, saying she'd be a much better Domme if she experienced submission...to him. Catrina doesn't have a single submissive tendency. But she's oh-so turned on when she watches a sub respond to Damien. A secret part of her is intrigued, and she asks herself, what harm can come from giving him two weeks? Over the next fortnight, she is introduced to the pleasures and perils of servitude. She has to admit that he's right-her understanding of submission is deeper, more profound, than it would have been otherwise. But the private experiences they share in the Den leave her emotionally shattered, making her question everything she thought she knew. In her unique way, Catrina too, challenges Damien, forcing him to grow as a Dom, and he wonders how the hell he'll ever be able to let her go.

Contrived. Disingenuous. Phony. Inauthentic. Do your customers use any of these words to describe what you sell-or how you sell it? If so, welcome to the club. Inundated by fakes and sophisticated counterfeits, people increasingly see the world in terms of real or fake. They would rather buy something real from someone genuine rather than something fake from some phony. When deciding to buy, consumers judge an offering's (and a company's) authenticity as much as-if not more than-price, quality, and availability. In Authenticity, James H. Gilmore and B. Joseph Pine II argue that to trounce rivals companies must grasp, manage, and excel at rendering authenticity. Through examples from a wide array of industries as well as government, nonprofit, education, and religious sectors, the authors show how to manage customers' perception of authenticity by: recognizing how businesses "fake it;" appealing to the five different genres of authenticity; charting how to be "true to self" and what you say you are; and crafting and implementing business strategies for rendering authenticity. The first to explore what authenticity really means for businesses and how companies can approach it both thoughtfully and thoroughly, this book is a must-read for any organization seeking to fulfill consumers' intensifying demand for the real deal.

Math is not rote-memorizable. Math is not random-guessable. Math is figure-out-able. Author Pam Harris argues that teaching real math math that is free of distortions will reach more students more effectively and result in deeper understanding and longer retention. This book is about teaching undistorted math using the kinds of mental reasoning that mathematicians do. Memorization tricks and algorithms meant to make math easier are full of traps that sacrifice long-term student growth for short-lived gains. Students and teachers alike have been led to believe that they ve learned more and more math, but in reality their brains never get any stronger. Using these tricks may make facts easier to memorize in isolation, but that very disconnect distorts the reality of math. The mountain of trivia piles up until students hit a breaking point. Humanity's most powerful system of understanding, organizing, and making an impact on the world becomes a soul-draining exercise in confusion, chaos, and lost opportunities. Developing Mathematical Reasoning: Avoiding the Trap of Algorithms emphasizes the importance of teaching students increasingly sophisticated mathematical reasoning and understanding underlying concepts rather than relying on a set rule for solving problems. This book illuminates a hierarchy of mathematical reasoning to help teachers guide students through various domains of math development, from basic counting and adding to more complex proportional and functional reasoning. Everyone is capable of understanding and doing real math. This book: Highlights the important mathematical relationships, strategies, and models for students to develop Offers personal stories, reflection sections, and extensive practical exercises for easy implementation Includes real math a lot of it to provide teachers with examples they can put to use in their classrooms immediately This book is a valuable resource for educators looking to reach more students by building a strong foundation of mathematical thinking in their students. By addressing common misconceptions about math and providing practical strategies for teaching real math, this book shows that everyone can use the mathematical relationships they already know to reason about new relationships. In other words, everyone can math.

A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. In this twisty thriller from New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a frustrated author looks for her muse in a remote hideaway, but what she finds defies all expectations...and reality. Her words used to set the page on fire. But a viral backlash over her latest film adaptation forced Petra Rose to take a hiatus, resulting in missed deadlines and an overdue mortgage. Branded a fraud and fame-hungry opportunist, she learned the hard way what happens when the internet turns on you. And she's been uninspired to write ever since. Now, with her next suspense novel outlined and savings nearly gone, she retreats to a secluded lakeside cabin, hoping to find inspiration. It's Petra's last-ditch attempt to save her career--and herself. Then he shows up. Detective Nathaniel Saint arrives with disturbing news, his presence igniting a creativity in her she thought long since burned out. Petra's words return in a rush, and her fictional cop character begins to mirror the very real cop who's becoming her muse. Their "research" sessions blur the lines between fantasy and reality. Each glance, every touch pulls Petra deeper into a world she thought she'd never lose herself in again. She's never felt more alive. But inspiration this powerful comes at a cost. When Saint starts taking his role in her career a little too seriously, Petra's forced to confront the chaos she created. But doing so could cost her more than the reputation she's been trying to salvage. The reputation the world wrote for her--the reputation only she can reclaim.

The Pilgrim's Progress from This World, to That Which Is to Come is a 1678 Christian allegory written by John Bunyan. It is regarded as one of the most significant works of theological fiction in English literature and a progenitor of the narrative aspect of Christian media. It has been translated into more than 200 languages and never been out of print. It appeared in Dutch in 1681, in German in 1703 and in Swedish in 1727. The first North American edition was issued in 1681. It has also been cited as the first novel written in English. According to literary editor Robert McCrum, "there's no book in English, apart from the Bible, to equal Bunyan's masterpiece for the range of its readership, or its influence on writers as diverse as William Thackeray, Charlotte Bronte, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mark Twain, CS Lewis, John Steinbeck and even Enid Blyton." The words on which the hymn "To be a Pilgrim" is based come from the novel. Bunyan began his work while in the Bedfordshire county prison for violations of the Conventicle Act of 1664, which prohibited the holding of religious services outside the auspices of the established Church of England. Early Bunyan scholars such as John Brown believed The Pilgrim's Progress was begun in Bunyan's second, shorter imprisonment for six months in 1675, but more recent scholars such as Roger Sharrock believe that it was begun during Bunyan's initial, more lengthy imprisonment from 1660 to 1672 right after he had written his spiritual autobiography Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.

The best affirmations are those you say aloud, as they reflect your feelings and emotions toward yourself. They make you aware of when you are suffering and when you are open and flowing smoothly. They give you the ideas you may need to live a happy and vibrant life. Practicing mirror function exercises makes you more aware of the words you say and the things you do. It teaches you how to take care of yourself much more than you ever have before. When something good happens in your life, you can stand in front of your mirror and say, "Thank you... thank you. What you did was wonderful, so thank you for what you did." And if something bad happens, you can also stand in front of the mirror and say, "It's okay, I love you. I'll forget what happened. And I'll still love you, and that love will last forever." This way, you'll love yourself more, and the mirror will be your friend, not your enemy.

What if the one person destined to be your soulmate didn't even know you existed? What if you were always there, standing right in front of them, yet you remained invisible-a ghost in their world, a shadow in their life? This is the haunting reality for Zan, a quiet and overlooked omega in a pack ruled by power, strength, and dominance. While the pack thrives under the leadership of the alpha's son, Averick Carson, Zan fades into the background, unnoticed and forgotten. Averick is everything Zan is not-charismatic, powerful, and revered. He is the alpha's alpha, the champion of champions, the embodiment of perfection in the eyes of the pack. His presence commands attention, his every move celebrated, his every word obeyed. But for Zan, Averick is more than just the pack's golden boy. He is the one Zan has secretly admired, loved, and longed for from afar. Yet, no matter how close Zan gets, he remains invisible, a mere whisper in the cacophony of Averick's life. As the omega of the pack, Zan is accustomed to being ignored, to living in the shadows. Most of the pack doesn't even know he exists, and those who do see him as nothing more than a footnote in their world of strength and hierarchy. But beneath Zan's quiet exterior lies a heart full of longing, a soul yearning to be seen, and a love that burns brighter than anyone could imagine. When the tides of fate begin to shift and the pack faces challenges that threaten their very existence, the lines between strength and weakness, power and vulnerability, begin to blur. Will Averick finally see the one who has always been there, standing silently by his side? Will he recognize the depth of Zan's loyalty, the strength of his heart, and the love that has endured in silence for so long? Or will Zan remain forever in the shadows, a forgotten soul in a world that values only the strongest?

Come to the stage between two worlds-come to the Theatre of the Imagination. On this six-part live performance series, bestselling author and beloved cantadora (keeper of the old stories) Clarissa Pinkola Estés shares the work of her lifetime: myths, tales, and poetry with the power to nourish and heal. Contained within Theatre of the Imagination are the great universal themes-tales of loss and resurrection; of love and sacrifice; of the courage to survive-yet it is as if Dr. Estés is speaking only to you. With words that weave in and out of the interior and exterior worlds, she creates an amazing fabric of the purest wisdom-fought for, won, and preserved to teach all generations-that which is most worth knowing. You will hear more than 40 original poems, archetypal insights, and dozens of strengthening stories from Dr. Estés' own family's oral traditions. Dr. Estés teaches that each story holds a key to a deeper self-knowing: Stories cut fine wide doors in previous blank walls, openings that lead to the dreamland, that lead to love and learning that lead us back to our own real lives. Presented in her one-of-a-kind lyrical style, Theatre of the Imagination seats you in the front row at these performances of a lifetime. More than five hours of signature stories, plus earthy and wise advice, archetypal insights, poetry, and much more. Six Healing Stories Include: Las Tres Osas Viejas (The Three Old Ones) .

The streets of Naples don't forgive. But they don't forget either. Silviuccio is seven years old when he learns his first lesson: in the Quartieri Spagnoli, the street is the only school that matters. What starts with a handful of smuggled cigarettes soon pulls him into a wider world - counterfeit fashion, family loyalty, and a criminal empire he never actually chose. As he grows up, so does the danger, and so does the price of belonging. Il Napoletano is one of the most engaging Italian short stories for adults learning the language - written for A2-B1 (beginner to lower-intermediate) learners who want more than a textbook. It's a real story - tense, funny in places, heartbreaking in others - told in clear, level-appropriate Italian, one chapter at a time. But this isn't only a story about crime. It's a story about Naples itself: its warmth and its wounds, its sfogliatelle and its silence, its music and its mafia. You'll meet the city's contradictions the way locals actually experience them - not through a postcard. This graded reader in Italian is designed for real learning, not just reading: Written specifically for A2-B1 CEFR level - simple sentence structure, controlled vocabulary, no overwhelming grammar Footnoted vocabulary on every page, so you can grow your vocabulary while reading - no dictionary required A full bilingual glossary of Italian vocabulary at the end of every chapter to review new words Comprehension exercises after each chapter (true/false, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and free writing) Cultural notes that go beyond the story - Naples, the camorra, Neapolitan food, and more Answer keys included, so you can check your progress as you go Perfect for you if:You've finished a beginner Italian course and want real reading practice, not more drills You want to grow your vocabulary and grammar naturally, through context, not memorization You want a story you'll actually want to finish - and one that makes you want to pick up another Italian book right after Naples doesn't explain itself easily - not even to Italians. This book won't try to simplify it for you. It will just take you there, one page at a time, until you realize you've learned more Italian than you meant to.

A warm, practical, and deeply human guide to communicating with more confidence, presence, and connection-from internationally acclaimed speaker and communication coach Vinh Giang. What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your talent, intelligence, or hard work-but your ability to connect? In Before We Forget How to Connect, Vinh Giang shows that communication is not a gift reserved for the naturally charismatic. It is a skill. A set of learnable tools. And once you begin to master them, your relationships deepen, your confidence grows, and your ideas finally land the way they deserve to. Drawing on his journey from a shy child of Vietnamese refugees to one of the world's most sought-after communication coaches, Vinh teaches readers how to "play the instrument" they were born with: their voice, body, stories, and capacity to listen. With his signature warmth, humor, and unforgettable storytelling, he reveals how small, deliberate changes in the way we speak, move, share, and hear one another can transform the way people experience us-and the way we experience ourselves. Through practical exercises and memorable stories, readers will learn how to use their voice with more presence and influence, strengthen body language, tell stories that move people, and listen in a way that builds real trust. Inside the book, readers will learn how to: Use their voice with greater presence, emotion, clarity, and influence Strengthen body language, including posture, gestures, facial expression, movement, and eye contact Tell stories that build trust, create emotional connection, and make ideas memorable Listen beyond words by noticing emotion, tone, vocal shifts, and body language Build everyday communication habits that help them feel more confident in meetings, relationships, presentations, and difficult conversations Whether you feel overlooked in meetings, awkward in conversations, misunderstood by the people you love, or ready to step into a more confident version of yourself, this book offers a clear and practical path forward. At its heart, Before We Forget How to Connect is about more than speaking well. It is about becoming more fully human in a world that is growing noisier, faster, and more disconnected. It is about remembering how to be heard, seen, and understood-and learning how to offer that same gift to others. Because connection is not lost. It is simply waiting to be remembered.
