Somebody Else's Sky by Jessica Hawkins Pdf

If I closed my eyes, I could still see them-all blonde sunshine, ocean-blue eyes, and long limbs. The glint of Lake's gold bracelet. Pink cotton candy on Tiffany's tongue. My scenery may have changed from heaven to hell, but some things never would: my struggle to do right by both sisters. To let Lake soar. To lift Tiffany up. The sacrifices I made for them, I made willingly. A better man would've walked away by now, but I never claimed to be any good. I only promised myself I'd keep enough distance. If I'd learned one thing from my past, it was that love came in different forms. You could love passionately, hurt deep, die young. Or you could provide the kind of firm, steady support someone else could lean on. Lake was everything I wanted, and nothing I could ever have. I was nobody before I knew her and a criminal after. The way to love her was to let her shine-even if it would be for somebody else. Book two in the Something in the Way series, an epic, 3-book saga of forbidden love...

In the idyllic Berkshires, at the prestigious Pioneer School, there are dark secrets that threaten to come to light.

Her biological father, a failing writer and former drug addict, needs to see the daughter he abandoned, and in order to do so, he gains a teaching position at Pioneer School.

Never Mind, We'll Do It Ourselves by Bierbauer Alec,Mark Cooter,Michael E. Marks Pdf

“An extraordinary, riveting, page-turning account—finally cleared for publication by the CIA—of the once highly classified effort by the CIA and special military units to develop a truly game-changing, transformational capability: armed drones."—General David Petraeus, US Army (Ret.), former Commander of the Surge in Iraq, US Central Command, and US and Coalition Forces in Afghanistan, and former Director of the CIA​ The Inside Story of How a CIA Officer and an Air Force Officer Joined Forces to Develop America’s Most Powerful Tool in the War on Terror. Never Mind, We’ll Do It Ourselves is the story behind the origins of the Predator drone program and the dawn of unmanned warfare. A firsthand account told by an Air Force team leader and a CIA team leader, Never Mind, We’ll Do It Ourselves takes readers into the back offices and secret government hangars where the robotic revolution went from a mad scientist idea to a pivotal part of global airpower. Featuring a foreword by Charlie Allen, an introduction by Lieutenant General John Campbell, USAF (Ret.), and an afterword by Lieutenant Colonel Gabe Brown, the story reveals the often conflicting perspectives between the defense and intelligence communities and puts the reader inside places like the CIA’s counterterrorism center on the morning of 9/11. Through the eyes of the men and women who lived it, you will experience the hunt for Usama bin Laden and the evolution of a program from passive surveillance to the complex hunter-killers that hang above the battlespace like ghosts. Poised at the junction between The Right Stuff and The Bourne Identity, Never Mind, We’ll Do It Ourselves documents the way a group of cowboys, rogues, and bandits broke rules and defied convention to change the shape of modern warfare

Something in the Way by Jessica Hawkins Pdf

"This is the best slow-burn romance I have ever read."—New York Times bestselling author, Penelope Ward It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents' house. Under the sweat and dirt, Manning Sutter was as handsome as the sun was bright. He was older, darker, experienced. I wore a smiley-face t-shirt and had never even been kissed. Yet we saw something in each other that would link us in ways that couldn't be broken...no matter how hard we tried. I loved Manning before I knew the meaning of the word. I was too young, he said. I would wait. Through all the carefully-chosen words hiding what we knew to be true, his struggle to keep me innocent, and infinitely-starry nights—I would wait. But I'd learn that no matter what you achieve in life, it means nothing if you suffer the heartbreak that comes with falling for someone you can never have. Because even though I saw Manning first, that didn't matter. My older sister saw him next. Book one in a completed USA TODAY bestselling love saga.

Royal Blue by Ellie Ilieva Pdf

Royal Blue is like a sad song we all intentionally put on when we feel bad in order to feel even worse. It’s a love letter to melancholy in all areas of life. Particularly love, because love is the one and only form of self-torment that humans choose to relive again and again. But people enjoy reading those melancholic poems about a tempting self-destructive love, a rudderless road trip through life, and a distinct sense of absolute confusion about one’s purpose in this universe. Read them just the way they were written - at 3 am, sitting on the floor next to an empty liquor glass and a full ashtray, questioning life choices and possibly listening to the cheesiest of love songs. This is poetry reminiscing about a love that has never been, places that no longer exist and a version of us that is long gone.
