Rosalind Betters doesn’t need a man, she needs a groom. Love wasn’t on her calendar, but when her newly-engaged friend pitches her on the growth potential married life holds, she decides to invest. Within days, the venue is booked, the date is set, and everything is ready to go. The only thing missing is someone to balance out the altar. Where else would an entrepreneur go to fill a high-level vacancy than to San Francisco’s best headhunter? When Xavier Hommes is approached by the charming CEO of BetaHouse, he’s intrigued but hesitant. Until Rosalind offers him an exclusive contract to staff her rapidly expanding start-up, and he’s hooked. It doesn’t take long, however, for Xavier to think he might be the perfect candidate. Only, you can’t seduce your biggest client and expect to stay in business, can you? As Rosalind homes in on her choice of groom, Xavier is forced to walk a delicate line between passion and professionalism, hoping to win the hand and the heart of the Start-Up Bride.

The Newbery Honor Book and New York Times Bestseller that is historical fiction with a hint of mystery about living at Alcatraz not as a prisoner, but as a kid meeting some of the most famous criminals in our history. Al Capone Does My Shirts has become an instant classic for all kids to read! Today I moved to Alcatraz, a twelve-acre rock covered with cement, topped with bird turd and surrounded by water. I'm not the only kid who lives here. There are twenty-three other kids who live on the island because their dads work as guards or cooks or doctors or electricians for the prison, like my dad does. And then there are a ton of murderers, rapists, hit men, con men, stickup men, embezzlers, connivers, burglars, kidnappers and maybe even an innocent man or two, though I doubt it. The convicts we have are the kind other prisons don't want. I never knew prisons could be picky, but I guess they can. You get to Alcatraz by being the worst of the worst. Unless you're me. I came here because my mother said I had to.
