Wer die Dornen nicht ehrt, ist der Rose nicht wert …Aurelia »Reely« Sinclair weiß, dass sie niemandes erste Wahl ist. Deshalb erwartet sie auch gar nicht erst viel von Lord Justin Spencers Antrag – doch zumindest ein Ring wäre schön gewesen! Und dass er sich nicht einmal auf ihrer Verlobungsfeier blicken lässt, ist ein weiterer Tiefpunkt für ihren Stolz. Nie hätte Reely damit gerechnet, dass sich ausgerechnet sein bester Freund Everard Ramsey auf ihre Seite schlage...

O investigador particular Mike Parker era demasiado cínico para acreditar no amor. Quando Sara Holyfield apareceu no seu escritório e lhe pediu ajuda para resolver um caso estranho de uma pessoa desaparecida, o seu primeiro impulso foi pô-la na rua. Contudo, Sara tinha qualquer coisa que o afectava. Talvez fosse o seu rosto inocente... ou o seu não tão inocente corpo. Ou, talvez, o facto de o maior inimigo de Mike o ter «aconselhado» a não aceitar o caso. Fosse qual fosse a causa, Mike viu...

In this space of unconditional love, I was set free from a life of addictions and learned, for the first time, how to live fully as the person God intended me to be. This is an extraordinary true story about the power of divine lo...

I et forsøg på at skabe forsoning planlægges en alliance mellem kongens søster og huguenot-prinsen Henri af Navarra. På en lille ø ud for Bretagnes disede kyster sidder en ung kvinde, der ufrivilligt bliver hvirvlet ind i stridighederne, da det viser sig, at dronningemoderen Katharina af Medici – også kaldet Mørkets Dronning – sidder og lægger forræderi...

School leaders come in many forms - superintendents, principals and other building leaders, department heads, Board of Education members, heads of the Parent Teacher organizations, teachers’ union representatives, state and federal agency heads, and others. As leaders they are expected to make wise, expeditious and knowledgeable decisions. It is not acceptable to speculate and base decisions on qualitative input. Hard data is regarded as elementary to a school leader’s toolbox, and experti...

Women remain dramatically underrepresented in elective office, including in entry-level political offices. While they enjoy the freedom to stand for office and therefore have an equal legal footing with men, this persistent gender imbalance raises pressing questions about democratic legitimacy, the inclusivity of American politics, and the quality of political representation. The reasons for women's underrepresentation remain the subject of much debate. One explanation--that the United Sta...
