The Courtland Chronicles by Cat Grant Pdf

Eric. Nick. Ally. Three lives destined to be intertwined…By Chance – A life of wealth and privilege doesn't equal happiness—just ask Eric Courtland. Growing up with a cold, unfeeling father and unstable mother has taught him exactly what he doesn't want out of life or love. Popular, wholesome, straight Nick Thompson is far more temptation than Eric's prepared for, but Nick's warm manner gradually cracks through Eric's prickly protective shell.Independent Eric doesn't know the first thing about being in a relationship, much less with a lover who can't even admit he's gay. But conservative Nick can't seem to find his way out of his own personal closet. Rock, meet hard place.Strictly Business – Eric Courtland is hungry for revenge against the cold, unfeeling father who never loved him, and who drove his mother to an early grave. Tossed headfirst into the shark-tank world of big business, Eric soon learns it's eat or be eaten, and has no choice but to throw in his lot with ruthless titan of industry Branford Crane. Still reeling from his mother's death, Eric plunges into a dark spiral of self-destruction, rejecting his longtime partner Nick's love and support in favor of the harsh tutelage Bran offers him, in and out of the bedroom. But one night, when Bran finally pushes Eric beyond any reasonable limit, Eric realizes how far he's fallen—and how desperately he needs Nick to help pull him back from the edge.Complications – Tired of taking a backseat to Eric's burgeoning political career, Nick calls it quits. A devastated Eric seeks consolation in liquor—and the arms of college friend Ally Taylor. Their passionate rebound affair deepens into something more. Still, Ally's thrown when Eric proposes marriage, with no mention of love. His wealth and connections would certainly help her career, but is their intense physical connection and Eric's promise of fidelity enough? But the growing bond between the newlyweds is threatened when Nick re-enters the picture. Secrets, lies and betrayal will add up to heartbreak for everyone—unless Eric can bring himself to choose between the man he's loved for over a decade, or the wife he can't bear to hurt.Follow Eric, Nick and Ally's story in these three exciting novellas—the prelude to a lifelong love affair that continues in The Arrangement and Triad!

Strictly Business by David K. Cahoone Pdf

Strictly Business is the first book in 2002 to discuss the impact of recent tax law changes on businesses and business owners. Looking beyond the phantom tax "rebates" and estate tax "repeal," it clearly explains the challenges and opportunities the new act creates for business owners-and why reducing taxes may not be their chief planning concern. Strictly Business is written in a hard-hitting, question-and-answer format to clearly and simply explain complex concepts and strategies relating to starting and operating a business, choosing a business structure, expanding a business, and developing fringe benefits, retirement funds, and a succession strategy. By drawing on several disciplines and the expertise of more than 90 of America's leading planning professionals, Strictly Business offers the most comprehensive and relevant planning ideas on issues important to business owners. For many of us, just knowing the questions to ask our advisors will greatly help us to become involved in the planning process.

Strictly Business by Charles W. Cheape Pdf

From 1919 to 1962, Walter Carpenter exemplified the establishment professional--the manager who produced nothing himself but who oversaw everything in the company and much in the community. A successful chief executive officer at the Du Pont Corporation and an important director at General Motors, Carpenter personified the power and status many American executives dreamed of winning. Yet, despite his status as an archetype of the "organization man" described by sociologists and praised by business leaders, he frequently confronted the limits of his power and worked hard to maintain his personal autonomy. In this illuminating career study, Charles W. Cheape makes use of voluminous and previously unpublished business records at the Hagley Museum and Library to analyze Carpenter's rise, influence, and leadership techniques--and to shed new light on American corporate culture in the mid-twentieth century. While focusing on Carpenter's career, he offers insights into the processes of management, decision-making, and economic competition at the highest levels of American industry. Strictly Business offers a penetrating and informative study of a uniquely American role and the type of character best suited to play it. "This is an historiographically important study of the transition from owner management to professional management, a process that most companies will eventually have to go through. It is the author's special merit to have shown how Walter Carpenter managed to balance the interests of the Du Pont family with those of the corporation. The comparisons of the three Du Pont brothers, Alfred Sloan, and Walter Carpenter proved particularly illuminating."--John K. Smith, Jr., Lehigh University. Charles W. Cheape is professor of history at Loyola College in Baltimore.

Keep My Heart in San Francisco by Amelia Diane Coombs Pdf

Sparks fly when two ex-best-friends team up to save a family business in this swoon-worthy and witty debut perfect for fans of Jenn Bennett and Sarah Dessen. Caroline “Chuck” Wilson has big plans for spring break—hit up estate sales to score vintage fashion finds and tour the fashion school she dreams of attending. But her dad wrecks those plans when he asks her to spend vacation working the counter at Bigmouth’s Bowl, her family’s failing bowling alley. Making things astronomically worse, Chuck finds out her dad is way behind on back rent—meaning they might be losing Bigmouth’s, the only thing keeping Chuck’s family in San Francisco. And the one person other than Chuck who wants to do anything about it? Beckett Porter, her annoyingly attractive ex-best friend. So when Beckett propositions Chuck with a plan to make serious cash infiltrating the Bay Area action bowling scene, she accepts. But she can’t shake the nagging feeling that she’s acting irrational—too much like her mother for comfort. Plus, despite her best efforts to keep things strictly business, Beckett’s charm is winning her back over...in ways that go beyond friendship. If Chuck fails, Bigmouth’s Bowl and their San Francisco legacy are gone forever. But if she succeeds, she might just get everything she ever wanted.
