Mother Earth's health crisis is no secret. What Awaits Us... does not shy from the truth about Earth's decline. Instead, through a truly enchanting tale, it expands our understanding of our enormous global challenge, and lays out a solution that every person on the planet can adopt. In astonishing and touching encounters, Nature's precious representatives telepathically deliver urgent messages that humankind's inhumanity is at the root of Earth's failing health. We discover from these sagacious creatures that the negative energy created from our thoughts, words, and deeds is even more destructive to the planet than is our material pollution. Although the messages funneled through this story are heartbreaking, hope is inspired when a diverse group of characters, including wildlife, amiable humans, deceased ancestors, and Those Who Came Before, collaborate in developing a plan to restore Earth's health. Through simple steps, The Plan, which is a transformative opportunity, teaches us how to release our negative tendencies. The Plan easily fits into our daily lives, and as we make positive changes, the Earth's health rapidly improves. By participating in The Plan, you will profoundly help the planet while also healing yourself.

Three years ago, Marcy Bradley let the man she loved go so he could follow his career dream of being an FBI agent. She sent divorce papers. He signed. She never filed them. Injured during his last assignment, FBI Special Agent Jean Bernard—JB—Bradley questions the integrity of his fellow agents. A few days recuperation back in his hometown will give him the perspective he needs. The added bonus is it'll give him time to convince his ex-wife to come back to him, despite his life of risk. But when Marcy experiences a slew of unexplained accidents, JB realizes he brought the danger to her doorstep. With a killer after them, Marcy and JB run for their lives, escaping to a lakeside cabin. Their love is rekindled, and JB realizes they're still married, but will there be time for their passion amidst the explosions and gunshots?

From USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Claudia Burgoa comes this fake-relationship-office romance that’ll leave readers laughing and swooning! What happens when the guy who’s afraid of love finds himself in it? Know what they say about never mixing business with pleasure? I thought it was dumb. The one about never sleeping with your boss? I ignored it, too. I blame Aslan Spearman, the boss. He’s a wealthy playboy who doesn’t believe in happily ever after. He’s demanding, a workaholic, and a cynical…jerk. He’d rather have a root canal than be in a romantic relationship. Do you want to know a secret? I think he’s afraid of love. So when he has to go to the Spearman family reunion in Hawaii with his girlfriend, he’s in big trouble. That’s what happens when you lie to your family about your relationship status. It wasn’t important—until now. What does he do? He comes to me, his VP of Operations and right hand for assistance. After all, I’m a problem solver. Except my personal life is complete chaos. So we make a deal. I’ll be his girlfriend if he helps me solve my problems. It’s a win-win situation, right? I mean, how hard can it be? It’s not like I plan to fall in love.
