An inspirational and insightful guide for women who want to get it all by doing less. For women, a glass ceiling at work is not the only barrier to success - it's also the increasingly heavy obligations at home that weigh them down. Women have become accustomed to delegating, advocating and negotiating for themselves at the office, but when it comes to managing households, they still bear the brunt on their own shoulders. A simple solution is staring them in the face: negotiate with the men in their personal lives. In Drop The Ball, Tiffany Dufu explains how women can create all-in domestic partnerships that protect them against professional burn-out.

Heidi Siefkas was a happily married, globetrotting professional who seemingly had it all -- until a tree limb in New York's Hudson River Valley struck her down, breaking her neck and leaving her unconscious. Suddenly, life as she knew it stopped. She lost her independence. She lost her career. She watched her marriage disintegrate as she confronted a trail of devastating lies about her husband's double life. She had lost all that mattered, but she was a survivor. She fought to restore her health, repair her broken heart, and rebuild herself. Along the way, she gained clarity about her core values, ultimately coming to a deeper understanding of what it means to have it all. Through down-to-earth, short vignettes, When All Balls Drop shows us how it's possible to look up in spite of pain, deceit, and loss. Heidi's memoir -- rich with hope and humor -- inspires anyone who's had to confront tragedy and reassess their life in the wake of life-altering events.

Young, cocky, and all alpha, he wants the one man he can't have.Rough around the edges and just a tad aggressive, twenty-year-old Maddox has more testosterone than he knows what to do with. He's an alpha tiger shifter and the town's rich, pretty boy with a chip on his shoulder to match. The circle of people he cares for is more of a dot, occupied by a single man, his college track and field coach, Wesley. Closer to forty than he'd like to admit, Wesley is the gorilla omega who never quite found the one to settle down with. Not for lack of trying on his parent's part. They can't stop setting him up. Sometimes, they even try to trap him. Like when they stole his heat suppressors right before a date, hoping it would drive him into the man of their dreams. But Wesley retreats to the one spot he knows he can be alone over the weekend while he rides out his heat. He sets up camp in his office on campus, ready to endure another torturous heat without relief. Except, his plan to ride it out alone is ruined when Maddox breaks into the school on his own agenda. That agenda is quickly derailed when he stumbles upon his coach in need. Coach makes Maddox feel like maybe he isn't just the town's asshole. He's an alpha. Wesley's alpha. While Maddox strives to be the type of man Wesley would want to obey, his conniving, abusive father has hatched a plan that threatens to ruin everything. With the holidays swirling around them, and the new year looming, finding their kiss at midnight seems impossible but Maddox didn't work this hard discovering his home in Wesley to give up now. Ball Drop is the second installment in the Welcome to Morningwood Omegaverse Romance series. It can be read as a standalone, though would be better enjoyed in order. It features themes of a school-based, age gap romance centered in a small town occupied entirely by shifters.
