    I would have said it was a setup that was doomed to fail each and every time. I had friends who had been there, done that, and got the keyed car and broken windows to prove it. I didn’t need to experience it for myself to know that I was good on that. That’s what I would have said before if anyone wanted to know my opinion. In a way, I still thought like that, except… I’d known Aisha since I was thirteen years old and if you would have asked me, I would have said I knew her pretty well. That couldn’t have been further from the truth, and when she revealed some things to me—things I had somehow missed over all these years—I found myself uttering words I never thought I’d say. It was just an agreement. You could almost call it a selfless act on my part. I was just being a good friend. The thing was, I forgot who drew the lines in the sand and before long I found myself caught up in the more-than-friendly benefits with my very good friend. Author’s Note: This is short, steamy read featuring explicit language and situations. If either of those offend you, this might not be the story for you.

    Never. Then I find out I have to take care of a baby I didn’t even know existed…but I won’t let it change my life. This baby is nothing but a small blip on my radar. But the nanny…f*ck, she’s hot. And according to her resume, she loves “learning new things.” If there’s any reason to keep the baby longer than necessary, it’s to make sure I see her voluptuous body every day. The fact that Bailey’s more gorgeous than she even realizes, that she looked like a deer in the headlights when I stared her down at her interview, makes my c*ck twitch. She doesn’t even realize her own beauty which is sexy…as…hell. She drives me insane with that innocent, sexy look. No one ever talks to me like the way she talks to me. No one ever challenges me. No one ever looks so f*cking hot while doing it either. I tell myself it’s just infatuation. I can’t get involved with her, I know that much. I only want to taste her. And I’m pretty sure she wants to taste me, too. A pretty little thing like her is too good to pass up, especially with that bite of spunkiness in her. Before long she’s mine, her ripe young body responding to my every touch, my every kiss, my every thrust. But the more time I spend with her, the more real it becomes. And the more I see her with the baby, the more I start to think that maybe we could be a real family. But that’s impossible. Isn’t it? Bailey Together. Me and the billionaire. Sharing this mansion. With his bedroom just down the hall from mine. He’s the boss from hell, expecting me to keep the baby quiet at all times. When I explain to him that babies cry, he becomes incensed. “You have a mouth on you, Miss Rainville, and I have better uses for it.” I know I should be disgusted, but I’m not. Not even close. The man smells delicious, his late-day stubble creates a dark mood over his features, and my body shakes when he stands so close to me I’m almost positive he’s going to kiss me. What’s even crazier is that I actually want him to. The man who hired me, pressing his lips against mine. I wouldn’t mind at all. I want this man more than I’ve ever wanted anyone in my life -- he infuriates me like no one else, and that sends currents running through my body. The balls. The nerve. The cockiness. He thinks it’s all about him. I shouldn’t be interested in him at all. And yet I can’t help thinking there’s more to him than what he shows the world. More than just a cocky, rude billionaire, the kind of man whose heart is so cold, he could turn away his own child. I know that’s not who he really is. Know that he could be a great dad, a great family man. I just need to prove it to him. And I’ll do whatever it takes, even if my heart shatters along the way… The Billionaire And The Nanny (Book Two) is a standalone alpha billionaire single dad romance with a guaranteed HEA.

    Internationally famous Czech photographer Jan Saudek is no exception, and equally as uncompromising in pursuit of his own unique vision. For over four decades Saudek has created a parallel photographic universe, a two-dimensional home full of longing, peopled with the most extraordinary characters and colored by desire. The timeless strength of his hand-tinted photographs lies in their poetic compositions and their forceful?at times ribald?pictorial language, with its overtones of medieval genre pictures and Baroque mythology. Rejecting the traditional beauty in his famous nude photographs, Saudek shows the distinctively different: old women, fat women, children; real people in tableaux vivants that remind us of everything from surreal early movies to fin-de-siecle carnival nights. They exist outside time, a uniquely colored and almost mythical theater of dreams. Covering his debut in the 1950s through his lesser-known work to recent images, this dazzling collection offers us the true "velvet revolution," fertile and unsettling images from the dreams we might still have. The author: Daniela Mr?zkov?, critic and editor of the Czech magazines Revue fotografie and Fotografie-Magaz?n, is the author of sixteen books on photography published in the Czech Republic and abroad, and the curator of around fifty photography exhibitions. She has been a member of international juries, and has authored film and television documentaries on photography and photographers. She hasfollowed Jan Saudek's work since his early years and is the author of Saudek's first Czech monograph, The Theatre of Life.
