It has been designed to be able to be used for the simple pleasure of reading or to have an added dimension of personal development or group sharing. The time-honoured technique of biovantic writing has been employed.When Bailey's Daughter suddenly vanishes from her own backyard, something about the way it happens throws Bailey back into a vivid recollection of her own childhood experiences. As the reader, you will embark on a journey, with her through life, culminating in an explosion of hope and expectancy. The story has been written in true biovantic style. The author understands that many readers will not be familiar with this style of writing or its purpose. Over half a millennium before the birth of Christ, a man by the name of Aesop was born. He became one of the greatest teachers of moral values the world has ever known. His teaching lives on today because he used simple fantasy stories which appealed to children and adults alike. It is from this tradition of story telling that the biovantic method of writing has emerged. In this book the author invites the reader to allow the inner child to go back to being a nine-year-old and join Bailey and her friends in their adventure of discovery. The reader will then be able to grow with her from childhood, through puberty and eventually into adulthood. Views: 828

To serve and protect...
That's my job.
That's who I am, and what I do.
It's what I've always done.
And when she comes back to town,
She's all I want,
All I need.
But I know better.
I refuse to give into my desire.
I'll never hurt her,
Never leave her.
And my job alone threatens it all,
Threatens everything.
I have to stay away,
Otherwise, I'll break her,
Ruin her,
And destroy us. Views: 828

Despite the odds against them from an embarrassing meet-awkward at a mutual friend’s Halloween party, Carter and Evie immediately hit it off. Even the realization that they’re both high-powered agents at competing firms in Hollywood isn’t enough to squash the fire.
But when their two agencies merge—causing the pair to vie for the same position—all bets are off. What could have been a beautiful, blossoming romance turns into an all-out war of sabotage. Carter and Evie are both thirtysomething professionals—so why can’t they act like it?
Can Carter stop trying to please everyone and see how their mutual boss is really playing the game? Can Evie put aside her competitive nature long enough to figure out what she really wants in life? Can their actor clients just be something close to human? Whether these two Hollywood love/hatebirds get the storybook Hollywood ending or just a dramedy of epic proportions, you will get to enjoy Christina Lauren’s heartfelt, raucous, and hilarious romance style at its finest.
