There he meets Ana, a woman who has crossed worlds and lifetimes searching for him, and together they pass through boundaries that test whether love can survive loss without becoming a shrine, safety without becoming control, and freedom without becoming abandonment.

Good Humans Make Great Leaders
by Jody Fletcher
Kindle $0.99 Rating: 4.9 #ad
Exceptional leaders start by looking inward and making big changes, one small step at a time.
In his three decades of military leadership, Jody Fletcher discovered two fundamental truths: If you don’t show up as a good human, you’ll never be a great leader. But being a good human doesn’t automatically make you someone worth following. These qualities must be learned, and the first lesson starts with taking a hard look at the person staring back at you in the mirror.
Well-meaning organizations often promote people into positions of leadership without offering much—if any—proper training. In Good Humans Make Great Leaders, Fletcher offers a simple and sturdy bridge between self-awareness and practical leadership skills to teach new and aspiring managers to lead with trust, respect, and empathy.

He could only hope his brothers were smart and capable enough to handle it without allowing themselves to be dragged into his mess.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t in the least bit prepared for the depth of his more-than-just-friendly feelings he experienced when he saw Mellie O’Shannon for the first time in years. Maybe it shouldn’t have been that much of a surprise, but it was.
