Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Successby Adam M. Grant Ph.D.

A groundbreaking New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller that is
captivating readers of Malcolm Gladwell, Daniel Pink, The Power of Habit, and Quiet

For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But today, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. It turns out that at work, most people operate as either takers, matchers, or givers. Whereas takers strive to get as much as possible from others and matchers aim to trade evenly, givers are the rare breed of people who contribute to others without expecting anything in return.

Using his own pioneering research as Wharton’s youngest tenured professor, Grant shows that these styles have a surprising impact on success. Although some givers get exploited and burn out, the rest achieve extraordinary results across a wide range of industries. Combining cutting-edge evidence with captivating stories, this landmark book shows how one of America’s best networkers developed his connections, why the creative genius behind one of the most popular shows in television history toiled for years in anonymity, how a basketball executive responsible for multiple draft busts transformed his franchise into a winner, and how we could have anticipated Enron’s demise four years before the company collapsed–without ever looking at a single number.

Kiss & Tellby C. Morgan

Her willingness to blackmail me into her bed is shocking.

But I can’t help myself.

I’ve worked my face off to make a name for myself in the architect world, and finally it’s landed me the perfect job–teaching at my local university.

Not a day goes by when a student doesn’t flirt and try their hand at winning my heart, if only for a night.

But I know the rules, and I follow them closely. No way in hell I’m giving up this sweet gig.

My newest student has stolen my attention and has me thinking things I should never think.

And her flirting goes to a new level. She’s defiant, dark, and not afraid of a little blackmail to get what she wants.

The young woman is beyond beautiful and everything I fantasize about, but I have a secret I want to keep hidden.

Unfortunately for me, she knows it and is more than happy to use it to get what she wants most–me.

What started out as a one-time payment turns into a burning need neither of us can ignore.

I just hope this girl is the type that doesn’t kiss and tell.

Otherwise, I’m ruined.

The Billionaire Offerby Ali Parker

“Simple awesome! The storyline was so interesting that it had me turning pages in anticipation of where it would lead.”

I’m thinking it’s finally got to be my turn.

I’ve got no man and no money. Nothing but a personality and a smile.

But maybe that’s enough this time.

The richest guy in New York is looking for a secretary, and lucky for me, he’s young and as hot as sin.

Too bad he’s an alpha asshole rich boy who’s stuck on himself. Nothing I do is right.

Throw in a crazy ex and a father that can’t stand anything that breathes in his personal space, and I. Am. Out.

He can find someone else to take notes and get his coffee.

I’m fine being broke and single. I’ve gotten good at it.

Besides, I’m not interested in a billionaire affair.

Or am I already in too deep to leave?

Sure as hell feels that way.
