Book Description

NOT ALL WOMEN ARE SUBMISSIVE… Ava Archer had everything a woman could ever desire. She was beautiful, rich, sociable, and free to do whatever she wanted between the sheets. Her job was easier than breathing when she worked as an assistant for her old man. Ava got everything she wanted and was used to getting her own way… Until she met Nathaniel Brooks. Order and control were all that Nate knew when he was a managing partner of the prestigious law firm Archer and Brooks. When his business partner takes ill, he must leave his comfortable Manhattan branch and tend to the firm in London. He didn’t foresee this change being problematic but then again… He hadn’t yet met his fiery and tenacious assistant, Ava Archer. In a battle for dominance, Ms. Archer would need to fall in line if she were to work under Mr. Brooks but there was just one problem: not all women are submissive. When the clock strikes five, both would soon realise the difficulty in keeping things business as usual behind office doors… Will Nate be able to maintain control over his heart? Will Ava lose everything when she learns that for a lawyer, deception is their art? ​​​​​​​ ____________________ BY DEBUT ROMANCE AUTHOR HOLLY DIXON ★★★★★ "You'll gasp, you'll moan, you may even shed a tear or two like I did!" ★★★★★ “If you're looking for a spicy romance with hilarity for pages and pages, this is the book for you!” ★★★★★ "Read at your own caution it will start an obsession.

Book Description

What makes a woman feel beautiful? Is it the perfect make-up, a gorgeous outfit, a great personality, or an ivy-league education? No, it's so much more! Every woman longs to see beauty in her mirror each morning. Sadly, the truth about her marvelous, God-created design is often marred at a young age by lies that she is not good enough, smart enough, or pretty enough. So, her natural confidence fades, her innocence is tarnished, and she begins to hide. In More Than Lipstick, you won't find another to-do list to complicate your busy schedule. Instead, it is an engraved invitation to celebrate your unique design and become the fabulous woman God intended. Writing in short, quick-read sections, author Deborah King inspires you to recognize your one-of-a-kind, divine design, both physically and spiritually. You will capture the essence of who you are as you sip your morning beverage, wait for an appointment, or while dinner is simmering. Poignant quotations and powerful scriptures flavor each devotional-like section and offer thoughtful Moments of Meditation to focus your mind and heart on God. Women have turned, since the beginning of time, to man-made processes to enhance their beauty, elevate their acceptance in society, and increase their self-esteem. Deborah King has reminded us to be aware of the gift of the hand of the Divine upon our lives. Our true quest should be to reflect the Giver of all beauty. Keitha Story-Stephenson, PhD SkyBlue Family Ministries Real beauty creates mystery and leaves something to be uncovered. Uncover the designer original within you today, because true beauty is so much more than lipstick! (This version of More Than Lipstick features 29 black and white original watercolor images.)

Book Description

New Yorker Gillian Chang starts her second term at posh Spencer Academy boarding school in San Francisco prepared to focus on her studies, her faith, and her friends. She plays a dozen musical instruments and can recite the periodic table of the elements backward. She's totally prepared for everything--except love! She's falling hard for Lucas Hayes, who isn't even a senior yet and is already aiming at a Ph.D. in physics from Stanford. The problem is, she never seems to be able to measure up and be the girlfriend he wants. He's under a lot of pressure from his parents to achieve--maybe that's why he's short-tempered sometimes. But even a thick-skinned girl like Gillian can only take so much. With her heart on the line, Gillian conceals more and more from her friends. So when she's accused of selling exam answer sheets, even her girlfriends, Lissa Mansfield and Carly Aragon, wonder if it can be true. Gillian will need the power of honesty--with herself and with Lucas--to show what she's really made of.

Book Description

“A bold memoir” of one young woman’s courageous battle with breast cancer—the basis for the Emmy-nominated Lifetime movie starring Sarah Chalke (People). Having recently graduated from Columbia Journalism School and landed her dream job at 20/20, the last thing twenty-seven-year-old Geralyn expects to hear is a breast cancer diagnosis. And there is one part of the diagnosis that no one will discuss with her: what it means to be a young woman with cancer in a beauty-obsessed culture. Trying to find herself while losing her vibrancy and her looks, Geralyn embarks on a road of self-acceptance that will inspire all women. Although her story is explicitly about a period of time when she was driven by fear and uncertainty, Geralyn managed a transformation that will encourage all women under siege to discover their own courage and beauty. The important and outrageous lessons of Why I Wore Lipstick come fast and furious with the same gusto that Geralyn has learned to bring to every aspect of her life.

Book Description

An invitation to find beauty and meaning in the ordinary and imperfect aspects of your life; not as a call to settle for less, but rather as a way to mysteriously participate in God's power and purpose. Glenn Packiam wants to empower readers to find great joy, purpose, and passion in their daily living. While bread may be one of the most common items on our dinner tables, Jesus chose to take it at the Last Supper and invest deep, wonderful, and transcendent meaning in it. Like the bread that was blessed, broken, and given; readers will see how God uses ordinary experiences to cultivate their mission and their brokenness to bring healing to the world. The ordinary is not the enemy; it is the means by which God accomplishes the miraculous. Through clear biblical teaching and practical steps, Packiam leads the reader into a more purposeful, directed, hopeful future.
