I knew Erik Jensen was trouble the moment I crashed into him in front of a bar on Bourbon St. I didn’t know how much trouble until the wanna-be Dom dragged me into court on a ridiculous charge. Looking more like a sexy pirate than an attorney, there’s nothing pretend about Jensen, and the stakes are higher than I ever could have imagined. Because Erik isn’t the man I thought he was, and neither is the game we’re playing. If I win, I keep it all: my business, my reputation, and my heart. If I lose\u2026well, I won’t let that happen. But it’s getting harder to tell which one of us is being mastered and before long, a safe word is the only thing standing between happily ever after and a pair of broken hearts.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Welcome to Bliss, where the streets are lined with endless charm, every storefront has a story, and the Pen & Pages Book Festival brings more drama than a bestselling novel. For Lyssa Jones, returning home was supposed to be a soft landing, not a dive into a mystery deep enough to drown her sorrows. If navigating her new life wasn\u2019t complicated enough, her recently deceased father, Jimi Jones, has decided it’s the perfect time to become a ghostly adviser, chiming in with unsolicited advice and quirky observations from the beyond. His spectral suggestions and incorporeal insights add an otherworldly charm to Lyssa’s quest for peace and purpose.<\/p>\n

After seven years away, Lyssa’s life reads like a cautionary tale: divorced, unemployed, and at a crossroads. But Bliss, with its quirky residents and small-town warmth, is the perfect place to figure out what\u2019s next. That is until her volunteer gig at the book festival thrusts her into the middle of a feud between two literary stars, both vying for the coveted top prize, and both annoying in their unique ways.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

An essential guide to the ways data can improve decision making.<\/p>\n

Statistics are everywhere: in news reports, at the doctor\u2019s office, and in every sort of forecast, from the stock market to the weather. Blogger, teacher, and computer scientist Allen B. Downey knows well that people have an innate ability both to understand statistics and to be fooled by them. As he makes clear in this accessible introduction to statistical thinking, the stakes are big. Simple misunderstandings have led to incorrect medical prognoses, underestimated the likelihood of large earthquakes, hindered social justice efforts, and resulted in dubious policy decisions. There are right and wrong ways to look at numbers, and Downey will help you see which are which.<\/p>\n

Probably Overthinking It uses real data to delve into real examples with real consequences, drawing on cases from health campaigns, political movements, chess rankings, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
