Nate er min nabo og en af mine bedste venner, selvom vi ser forskelligt på det meste.Som skilsmisseadvokat elsker han at fortælle mig, at min drøm om ’den eneste ene’ er – ja, en drøm, en helt urealistisk fantasi. Og som bryllupsplanlægger elsker jeg at fortælle ham, at han tager fejl.Hvor jeg tror på kærlighed med stort K, tror han på onenightstands og på ikke at få følelser i klemme. Men da en ny kvinde kommer ind i hans liv – en meget lille og skrigende en af slagsen, et uventet resultat af et af hans mange kvindebekendtskaber – må han revurdere sin strategi, når det kommer til følelser. Og jeg må revurdere min opfattelse af ham.Når jeg ser ham med sin datter, ser jeg til min overraskelse en anden side af Nate. En side, der får mit hjerte til at banke hurtigere, min krop til at hige efter hans og mit hjerte til at længes efter, at han ændrer mening om kærlighed og fortæller mig, at vi har en chance.Men tør han sætte sit hjerte på spil? Tør jeg?Dette er første bind i Kun dig-serien af Melanie Harlow."Kun dig er et frisk pust!" – The Escapist Book Blog"Bogen har den rigtige mængde drama, lidenskab og sjove øjeblikke." – The Bookish Sisters"Hot.

"In the sixty-four days between November 3 and January 6, President Donald Trump and his allies fought to reverse the outcome of the vote. Focusing on six states--Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin-- Trump's supporters claimed widespread voter fraud. It was not a well-orchestrated matter. There was no guiding genius pulling the strings in key states for the defeated Donald Trump. In the weeks after the election, in counties and precincts all over the country, many local Republican officials and even Trump's own campaign workers washed their hands of his increasingly unhinged allegations of fraud. But there was no shortage of people willing to take up the fight. Urged on by Trump and his coterie of advocates, lawyers, and media propagandists, true believers turned on their colleagues, friends, and neighbors-- even those in their own party--to accuse them of rigging the election. The real story of the insurrection began months before Trump's mob attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. That riot was the desperate final act, emblematic of the clumsy, failed movement Trump had been building for years. It began in cities and small towns all over America on election day, November 3, 2020. Working with a team of researchers and reporters, Bowden and Teague uncover never-before-told accounts from the election officials fighting to do their jobs amid outlandish claims and threats to themselves, their colleagues, and their families. The Steal is an engaging, in-depth report on what happened during those crucial nine weeks and a portrait of the heroic individuals who did their duty and stood firm against the unprecedented, sustained attack on our election system to ensure that every legal vote was counted and the will of the people prevailed."--Provided by publisher.

Kick Ass: Changing the Odds through Faith, Will, and Hard Work is a powerful narrative of resilience and determination.

In her darkest hour, she turned to Christ, whose response marked the beginning of a remarkable turnaround. Her head therapist, upon her departure from acute rehab, confessed that he initially doubted her chances of recovery. Despite this, she defied expectations.

She broke barriers as the only female director in the aerospace sector of Allied Signal. Her steadfast faith in Christ provided the strength needed to navigate through her life's crises. Now a mother of two and grandmother of three, she cherishes the life she has been able to resume, despite its limitations. These restrictions once hindered her from golfing for 11.5 years. However, after discovering Balance of Nature, she joyously returned to golf, a beloved activity she thought lost to her, completing the last piece of her recovery puzzle.

Witness how, with the right blend of therapy and education, a child subjected to profound distress can evolve and rise as a Woman of Valor.
