They ask Nate to throw in with them, but he’s wary. Should he trust them, or is he being set up?

    As a storm of peril gathers around them, Joe and Nate confront it in different ways—and maybe, for the first time, on opposite sides.

    Do I have feelings for my sister’s best friend? Of course not.

    But when Val announces she’s leaving town (and the country), I’m suddenly confronted with some very capital-F Feelings–ones that refuse to stay stuffed down deep where I’ve hidden them for more years than I care to admit.

    Having her crash in my guest bedroom until she leaves only makes things worse.

    Little by little, Val chips away at my defenses, and despite all the solid reasons I have, my resolve starts to crumble.

    The thing is–none of the circumstances have changed.

    Val is still planning to leave the country. And I… well, I might have gotten more in touch with my feelings, but I’m still the same man.

    Burn the Boats: Toss Plan B Overboard and Unleash Your Full Potential Over 600 5-Star Reviews!

    In this gripping rags-to-riches instant classic—a must-read for starting your own business—Matt Higgins provides the blueprint he used to go from a desperate high school dropout caring for his sick mother in Queens, to a shark on Shark Tank and the faculty of Harvard Business School.

    From Sun Tzu to Julius Caesar, the ancient Israelites to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, there’s a bold and highly effective tactic seen throughout history—when leaders want to motivate their troops for success, they destroy all opportunities for retreat, andfully commit to the mission. They burn their boats; it’s win or perish, and the clarity of sheer desperation propels them to victory.

    But the conviction of crisis decision-making can also be harnessed in peacetime to achieve unfathomable success. Higgins draws upon extensive research, historical precedent, and dozens of firsthand case studies—from actress-turned-entrepreneur Scarlett Johansson to NFL Coach Rex Ryan—that prove merely contemplating Plan B diminishes the probability of ever achieving Plan A. Now a self-made serial entrepreneur with a $1 billion consumer portfolio of some of America’s most iconic brands, Higgins explains how to burn the metaphorical boats that undermine total commitment, ranging from imposter syndrome to paralyzing anxiety to toxic leadership.

    Burn the Boats is the manifesto for anyone looking to level up their life while navigating risk.

    The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail-but Some Don't Over 2,000 5-Star Reviews!

    "One of the more momentous books of the decade."—The New York Times Book Review

    Nate Silver built an innovative system for predicting baseball performance, predicted the 2008 election within a hair’s breadth, and became a national sensation as a blogger—all by the time he was thirty. He solidified his standing as the nation’s foremost political forecaster with his near perfect prediction of the 2012 election.

    Drawing on his own groundbreaking work, Silver examines the world of prediction, investigating how we can distinguish a true signal from a universe of noisy data. Most predictions fail, often at great cost to society, because most of us have a poor understanding of probability and uncertainty. Both experts and laypeople mistake more confident predictions for more accurate ones. But overconfidence is often the reason for failure. If our appreciation of uncertainty improves, our predictions can get better too. This is the “prediction paradox”: The more humility we have about our ability to make predictions, the more successful we can be in planning for the future.

    With everything from the health of the global economy to our ability to fight terrorism dependent on the quality of our predictions, Nate Silver’s insights are an essential read.

    Hideaway: A Novel Over 17,000 5-Star Reviews!

    Caitlyn Sullivan had come from a long line of Hollywood royalty, stretching back to her Irish immigrant great-grandfather.

    At nine, she was already a star—yet still an innocent child who loved to play hide and seek with her cousins at the family home in Big Sur. It was during one of those games that she disappeared…

    Some may have considered her a pampered princess, but Cate was in fact a smart, scrappy fighter, and she managed to escape her abductors.

    The Fried Lover Attack Single mom Caroline Dunleavy is not having the easiest of times.

    Her job is unfulfilling (and the pay is not nearly good enough to compensate). Her dating life is nonexistent—while her ex-husband has found a vivacious new girlfriend. And her very smart, easily bored daughter Chloe is struggling at school.

    There is one promising new development, though: Chloe’s newfound love of chess. Caroline has never played chess in her life, and doesn’t feel smart enough to start. Which isn’t going to stop her from bringing Chloe to Queen City Chess, the most happening chess spot in Charlotte, North Carolina.

    But stepping into the chess world, even as just a mom supporting her kid, means discovering big egos, obscure lingo, and international intrigue. And it also means meeting Queen City Chess’s newest—and least sociable—coach, former super-grandmaster Mikhail “Misha” Kotenkov, who seems hard pressed to recognize a real world beyond the chessboard. Surely this man is not going to be the solution to any of Caroline’s problems.

    Only then she has to deal with some new challenges, including the unearthing of long-buried family secrets. It turns out that she and Misha are more alike than either of them realized. And that sometimes love can show up in unexpected places—even in the midst of a major chess tournament…

    A fascinating behind-the-scenes look at life on Pennsylvania Avenue with America’s first families, by the man who spent nearly three decades in their midst.

    J. B. West, chief usher of the White House, directed the operations and maintenance of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue – and coordinated its daily life – at the request of the president and his family. He directed state functions; planned parties, weddings and funerals, gardens and playgrounds, and extensive renovations; and with a large staff, supervised every activity in the presidential home. For twenty-eight years, first as assistant to the chief usher, then as chief usher, he witnessed national crises and triumphs, and interacted daily with six consecutive presidents and first ladies, their parents, children and grandchildren, and houseguests – including friends, relatives, and heads of state.

    In Upstairs at the White House, West offers an absorbing and novel glimpse at America’s first families, from the Roosevelts to the Kennedys and the Nixons. Alive with anecdotes ranging from the quotidian (Lyndon B. Johnson’s showerheads) to the tragic (the aftermath of John F. Kennedy’s assassination), West’s book is an enlightening and rich account of the American history that took place just behind the Palladian doors of the North Portico.

These are her people. The guy she finds bound and bloodied in the trunk of a flashy new BMW is a different breed entirely.

    Daniel Panterro knows he hasn’t seen the last of the vicious drug runners who kidnapped him from protective custody and left him for dead. His only recourse is to take his pretty savior and her four-year-old son hostage and force her to help him. With ruthless killers stalking their trail, Sam must trust this handsome, menacing stranger. But as she relinquishes control, she feels an unmistakable desire. What is the price of falling in love with a man who operates on the edge of danger—her heart, her life…or both?

    Open Season (A Joe Pickett Novel Book 1) Over 10,000 5-Star Reviews!

    Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won’t take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular.

    When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he’s had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in. Even after the "outfitter murders," as they have been dubbed by the local press after the discovery of the two more bodies, are solved, Joe continues to investigate, uneasy with the easy explanation offered by the local police.

    As Joe digs deeper into the murders, he soon discovers that the outfitter brought more than death to his backdoor: he brought Joe an endangered species, thought to be extinct, which is now living in his woodpile. But if word of the existence of this endangered species gets out, it will destroy any chance of InterWest, a multi-national natural gas company, building an oil pipeline that would bring the company billions of dollars across Wyoming, through the mountains and forests of Twelve Sleep. The closer Joe comes to the truth behind the outfitter murders, the endangered species and InterWest, the closer he comes to losing everything he holds dear.
