Bon Jovi.Bryan Adams.Presley West.My favourite men of music.Only one of them within reach.The night before Presley West was due to leave our small town of Hollings Hill, all of my high school fantasies came to life. He finally wanted me. Eight years I'd spent pining, and now I, bar-tending Tessa Lisbon, was going to make damn sure I made that night count before the music industry stole him. Never screw your idols. That's what they say, right? Well, I did, and I did it well. So well, I somehow managed to screw my own heart in the process. He gave me one night to convince him to stay. In the end, I begged him to go. Forever.But that's the thing about rock stars: they do what they want, when they want, and forever didn't end up being as long as I expected.Presley was back, and with his face, voice, and music now everywhere I turned, I officially had nowhere left to run.

A Rock Star Romance

Cherry Beats

De meester in verleiden. De God van de rock. Frontman van 's werelds meest begeerde band, Youth Gone Wild. Ik ben Rhett Ryan, en ik krijg wat ik wil. Vrouwen? Ze stonden in de rij. Geld? Ik had genoeg. Prijzen? Mijn planken stonden vol. Liefde? Daar had ik geen tijd voor. Niet totdat ik geen andere keuze had dan aandacht te schenken aan de laatste vrouw waar ik verwachtte voor te vallen. Mijn mooie, brutale publicist, Julia verdomde Speed. Ze was een essentieel onderdeel van het succes van de band, en ze was zo verboden terrein als het maar zijn kan. Ik had nooit iets meer gewild in mijn leven. Maar Julia was niet zoals de rest, en mijn avances duwden haar alleen maar verder weg. Ze was de eerste vrouw die me er voor liet werken, en Jezus, wilde ik er ineens voor werken! Zelfs als ik wist dat het op een ramp zou uitdraaien. Zelfs als ik wist dat er tranen zouden vallen. Ik was bereid om het vuil te spelen om het te laten gebeuren. Ik had gewoon geen idee hoeveel ik zou veranderen in het proces, of hoe iets dat ooit mijn alles was geweest, al snel niets zou worden omdat ik met haar in het verbodene was gesprongen. Domme, Roekeloze Rhett.

Dirty Rock

Een jonge vrouw valt opnieuw voor de man die zes jaar geleden haar hart brak en nu een beroemde rockster is.

Ghost Note

Six years.Seventy-two months.Over two thousand days.That's what I'd dedicated to that guitar-playing a*sehole, Danny Silver.Now I, Daisy Piper, was left to pick up the wreckage of his love while he ran off with the band to find fortune and fame.Life went on without him, and a new man soon rescued me from the ashes of Danny, but a part of my heart remained a little broken, no matter who tried to fix it. First loves can't be forgotten so easily, and when Danny returned to our small hometown in Devon-famous and adored by millions-I couldn't stop myself from wanting to get a glimpse of the man I'd once laid beside, to see how much he'd changed.The smallest actions make for the biggest mistakes, and a single look into Danny's eyes was all it took before I ran. I ran because the spark that came to life inside felt dangerous, and I wasn't the kind of girl who enjoyed getting burnt twice.But running from a rock star isn't as easy as I thought it would be, and with Danny's sights now firmly set on me again, all I could do was pray that he got bored of the chase. That he thought life in Devon was too slow for him, and that he craved the bright lights of the city, as well as the noise of the stadium.If he didn't, I was about to ruin everything for everyone.Especially myself, and my stupid little Silver-lined heart.

The first time Toby Hunter got arrested for defending Lilac Clarke's honour, he was only fifteen years old, but he'd loved her from behind his black-rimmed glasses for as long as he could remember.With a desperate need to protect her from a distance, one arrest turned to two, two soon turning into three, and before Toby knew what was happening, the sleepy village of Southwold was turning against him for daring to stand up for a girl like Lilac.Beautiful Lilac with her flowers in her hair, her camera in her hands, and her sweet, pink, sugary-lipped kisses.They could hate him for loving her all they wanted. Toby was a boy who did what was right, not what was easy, and he was always going to grow to be the man willing to give her what she deserved.Even if that meant losing Lilac forever.

Optimize the Role of the Project Sponsor The project sponsor is critical to project success, yet it is a role that is often assigned to a member of the organization with little knowledge or training in project management practices. This creates challenges not only for the sponsor but for the project manager. The organization suffers too if key members of the project team are not fully utilized, as valuable resources are wasted. In Strategies for Project Sponsorship, the authors address this challenge from all three vantage points—that of the project manager, the project sponsor, and the organization. Based on their practical experience and solid research, they offer practical methods that project manager s can use to optimize the participation of the sponsor. They also offer clear and straightforward guidance for project sponsors on how to properly execute their duties and contribute to project success. Executives will gain valuable perspective on the organization's projects and key players. From defining the roles and responsibilities of the project sponsor to suggesting specific practices that maximize the working relationship between the sponsor and project manager, this book is the ultimate guide. Examples from real-world sponsor experiences, as well as tips, techniques, and tools, enhance its applicability and practicality. This book should be given to every newly assigned project sponsor, read and referred to by every project manager, and on the desk of every organizational executive as a reference.
