'SMART, HONEST, AND ACHINGLY ROMANTIC, JUST AS SEXY AS IT IS SWEET' - TAYLOR JENKINS REID FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE KISS QUOTIENT Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, not big, important emotions - like grief. And love. He thinks he's defective. His family knows better - that his autism means he just processes emotions differently.

As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City, Esme Tran has always felt out of place. So when the opportunity arises to go to America and meet a potential husband, she can't turn it down. This could be the break her family needs. Seducing Khai, however, doesn't go quite as planned. Esme's lessons in love seem to be working... but only on herself. She's hopelessly smitten with a man who's convinced he can never return her affection. As Esme's time in the United States dwindles, will Khai let his head catch up with his heart? Will he find the strength to let go, and let love in? Praise for Helen Hoang 'Such a fun read ...

Stalag VIII-B, Colditz, these names are synonymous with POWs in the Second World War. But what of those prisoners in captivity on British soil? Where did they go? Gloucestershire was home to a wealth of prisoner-of-war camps and hostels, and many Italian and German prisoners spent the war years here. Inside the Wire explores the role of the camps, their captives and workers, together with their impact on the local community. This book draws on Ministry of Defence, Red Cross and US Army records, and is richly illustrated with original images. It also features the compelling first-hand account of Joachim Schulze, a German POW who spent the war near Tewkesbury. This is a fascinating but forgotten aspect of the Second World War.

Missio Alliance Essential Reading List The cross means more than we've let it mean. Proclaiming the gospel and forming the faithful: these are the most practiced disciplines of the evangelical church. As central as these disciplines are, however, they are only part of the story. And as Christian Community Development Association CEO Noel Castellanos has learned over a lifetime of ministry and mission, the neglect of the gospel's full implications for the world has contributed to the erosion of communities and the languishing of poor and other marginalized people. In Where the Cross Meets the Street Castellanos shows the strengths and limitations of a narrowly focused church and broadens our imaginations to embrace a gospel that proclaims Christ and forms disciples. This life-giving gospel also demonstrates compassion, confronts injustice and restores individuals and communities to wholeness. This is the whole work of the cross; this is the privilege of those who follow the Word made flesh.

Operations run on trade-offs—but most teams talk about them vaguely, emotionally, or not at all. The Trade-Off Language System gives you a clean, simple, verbal framework for turning the legendary "scope triangle" into everyday communication that anyone can understand instantly. Instead of hidden constraints, unspoken expectations, and unrealistic promises, you'll learn how to discuss time, cost, and quality with clarity, neutrality, and precision. Inside this guide, you'll discover how to frame constraints without blame, how to highlight consequences without drama, and how to steer stakeholders toward rational decisions instead of wishful thinking. You'll also learn how to translate technical complexity into everyday language, how to expose resource gaps early, and how to handle pushback without becoming defensive. Whether you lead projects, manage teams, or coordinate cross-functional work, this system equips you with the linguistic tools to make tough trade-offs feel logical—not personal. When everyone understands the triangle, everything runs smoother. Make the trade-off explicit. Make it simple. Make it understood.
