The highly acclaimed author of Accidentally Engaged delivers a delightful rom-com about one woman trying to shed her perfect image at a destination wedding, with hilarious - and moving - results. Perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez and Jasmine Guillory. Jana Suleiman has never really fit in - everyone always sees her as too aloof, too cool, too perfect. The one time she stepped out of her comfort zone, she ended up with a broken heart and a baby on the way. Aaaand lesson learned. Now she's a bridesmaid for a destination wedding in Serengeti National Park, and almost everyone she knows will be there. Her five-year-old daughter. Her mom. Her friends. Even her potential new boss. And of course (because who doesn't love surprises!) her gorgeous-but-not-to-be-trusted ex. Anil Malek is a great dad, even if Jana hasn't quite forgiven him for lying to her all those years ago. Determined to show he has no effect on her whatsoever, she and the bridesmaids concoct a go-wild list to get Jana through the week. Sing karaoke? Sure. Perform their high school dance routine in front of strangers? Okay. But the more she lets down her guard, the less protection she has against her attraction to Anil. And Jana soon realises it's one thing to walk on the wild side . . . and quite another to fall for her ex all over again.

Returning to work after a career break can be a daunting prospect. Despite the fact that more people than ever are pressing pause on their careers - to care for children or elderly parents, for health reasons, to relocate or simply to try something new - the roadmap for moving from out of action, to Returner, to Returned, is still unclear. 'Career returners' have often lost their professional confidence. There are psychological, logistical, and systemic blockages every step of the way - how do you regain a sense of professional identity after so long out of the game? Where are the role models of other career returners to look up to? How should your CV look? How do you tackle the unconscious bias of hirers? Where do you even start?RETURN JOURNEY gives career returners a sense of possibility and motivation. Practical, empathetic, and inspiring, this book is the go-to blueprint and source of encouragement for any professional looking to get back to thriving from fulfilling work after some time out. Julianne Miles, co-founder of Career Returners, lays out a roadmap for the journey, from helping the returner feel positive about the decision to go back to work, to providing the returner with tools to adjust to the emotional rollercoaster of the first six months back. Drawing from case studies based on real life returners, RETURN JOURNEY dives into the challenges attendant on each stage of the return and breaks them down into simple psychological models, to be addressed by handy self-coaching exercises.

A former employer wants her dead, and one of her new bodyguards is a far too good-looking paladin with a martyr complex. Shane is a paladin with three problems.
