When Kit was hired as personal assistant to Marcus Maitland, she was ready to resist him — if her sensible suits, glasses and severe hairstyle didn't do it, then her cool, untouchable manner would. However, during a working weekend away, Marcus started getting very personal with his assistant. Without her glasses and prim clothes, Kit felt naked — which suited Marcus just fine!

A future mayor shining shoes, an atheist shilling Bibles, a housewife heading to work during World War II, a now-famous designer getting fired-we all got our start somewhere. A first job may not have the romance of the first kiss or the excitement of a first car, but more than anything else, it offers a taste of true independence and a preview of what the world has in store for us. In The First Jobs, reporter Merritt Watts collects real stories of these early forays into the workforce from a range of eras and industries, and a diversity of backgrounds. For some, a first job is a warm welcome to the working world. For others, it's a rude awakening, but as these stories show, it's an influential, entertaining experience that should not be underestimated. This book transforms what we might think of as a single, unassuming line at the bottom of a resume into a collection of absorbing tales and hard-earned wisdom to which we can all, for better or worse, relate.

What does it mean to dream of Paris (France), Paris (Hilton), Prada, blogging, bridesmaids, and more? Josie can tell you. Part dream dictionary, part relationship guide, part fashion fantasy, Last Night I Dreamt of Cosmopolitans taps into its readers' subconscious, unraveling their slumber-induced musings on love, lust, cocktails, and of course, designer shoes.

But life, without asking permission, knows how to choose the right moment to put things back in order. And so, suddenly the woman's certainties will be swept away with the force of a hurricane, to make a clean sweep of an existence that no longer had a way of being. From that moment everything will change ... New situations and unexpected characters will drag the woman towards the desired rebirth. A mysterious man will tiptoe into her life and, with the complicity of a bizarre old man, they will fall into a completely unusual relationship, based on the pages of an ancient book.

“Creative characters guide the reader through what in many ways is a sailing adventure...er...caper around Jamaica... A hidden gem.” —Richard J. Wall, Editor. “David Beckwith’s knowledge of and affection for Caribbean culture and its wind-blown intricacies are showcased in this fast-moving story set in Jamaica’s hot, salty underbelly. Having had some experience in Jamaica, I can say this story is as colorful as the country itself and is filled with unique nicknames, Jamaican dialect, and the sense of abandon that exists in the lawless parts of its society. I can still smell the jerked chicken and meat patties from here.” —Reef Perkins, bestselling author of Deep Air and Sex, Salvage, and Secrets Will and Betsy Black’s latest adventure takes them back to Jamaica. When Jamaican Shower Posse second-in-command, Harry Dog, is given what appears to be a simple, routine assignment, he delegates it to Bigga, the posse’s third-in-command, who selects Oney, Which Flava, and Twinie, three of his young up-and-comers, to carry out the task. After this “no-brainer” goes awry, however, Harry Dog is forced to send three reliables, Hi-top, Monkeyman, and Mighty Mouse, to get things back on track, but bad luck continues to strike, making it appear that if Harry Dog didn’t have bad luck, he’d have no luck at all as the hole they are digging just keeps getting deeper and deeper.
