But Jamie knew every button to press. Every level to hit.

I should have known they were different people. It was so stupid of me not to notice. But Tucker’s hands set my skin of fire as much as Trent’s. Tuck whispered sweet things that made me want more. Trent did this sexy thing that made my toes curl. And I was lost to them, without even knowing it. I fell hard, but only one of them owned my heart. Only one of them loved me back. And I was hoping it was the right guy.... As I stared down at the blue lines on the pregnancy test.

The first time I met Preston Parker, I slammed face-first into his wet, chiseled abs. In the men’s locker room, of all places. I did the world’s longest walk of shame in front of dozens of hockey players. As if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, Mr. MVP gave me one of his killer smirks, right before dropping his towel in front of me. Just to prove a point. That no woman can resist him. Not even me.

Too many businesses miss opportunity after opportunity to design, plan, and achieve intentional business change. Why? Because they charter projects focused on delivering software products: IT projects. But as this groundbreaking book points out, there’s no such thing as an IT project - or at least there shouldn’t be. It’s always about intentional business change, or what’s the point?

'n Pad wat nooit eindig nie en waar daar net gestop is as dit reeds te laat was en ek klaar, karsiek, opgegooi het. 'n Pad gedeel met baie.

Oud-Suidwester ken van grondpad ry. Die mense wat tot op vyftig saam met my gery het, kon nie altyd by hou nie. Almal ry nie dieselfde pad nie.
