Welcome to Black Wolf’s Bluff, where turning forty doesn’t mean your life is over. It might just mean the next unexpected encounter could lead to explosive fireworks—in and out of the bedroom. He’s sworn off dating. Carter Deveraux is looking forward to a quiet week in Black Wolf’s Bluff with his ten-year-old son and his best friend. Definitely no dating, especially after his last disastrous effort. But he never expected their vacation to start with a cute blonde nearly running them off the road. And he certainly never expected his son—and himself—to be captivated by the sassy contractor once they meet in person. She’s sworn off him. Erin Jenkins is the responsible one, the woman who holds her family and her professional projects together. But something is definitely itching under her skin, tempting her in a different direction, and that itching is aggravated by the appearance of her boss’s best friend in Black Wolf’s Bluff. His son, Thad, is cute and curious. Too bad his sexy-as-hell dad is an arrogant jackass. Sparks fly whenever they’re in the same room together. Carter might try to deny their chemistry, but Erin fears they have far too much to ever control. Can the heat that flares between them lead somewhere special before they end up going down in flames? Don’t miss this grumpy single dad meeting his match in an independent woman with a not-so-hidden inner smartass.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Discover the game-changing theory of the cycles of history and what past generations can teach us about living through times of upheaval—with deep insights into the roles that Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials have to play—now with a new preface by Neil Howe. First comes a High, a period of confident expansion. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion. Then comes an Unraveling, in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis—the Fourth Turning—when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world—and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict what comes next. Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four twenty-year eras—or “turnings”—that comprise history’s seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth. Illustrating this cycle through a brilliant analysis of the post–World War II period, The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for this rendezvous with destiny.

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
