After tirelessly climbing the ranks of her Chicago-based interior design firm, Lane Kelley is about to land her dream promotion when devastating news about her brother draws her back home--a quaint tourist town full of memories she'd just as soon forget. With her cell phone and laptop always within reach, Lane aims to check on her brother while staying focused on work--something her eclectic family doesn't understand. Ryan Brooks never expected to settle down in Harbor Pointe, Michigan, but after his final tour of duty, it was the only place that felt like home. Now knee-deep in a renovation project that could boost tourism for the struggling town, he is thrilled to see Lane, the girl he secretly once loved, even if the circumstances of her homecoming aren't ideal. Their reunion gets off to a rocky start, however, when Ryan can't find a trace of the girl he once knew in the woman she is today. As he slowly chips away at the walls Lane has built, secrets from his past collide with a terrible truth even he is reluctant to believe. Facing a crossroads that could define his future with Lane and jeopardize his relationship with the surrogate family he's found in the Kelleys, Ryan hopes Lane can see that maybe what really matters has been right in front of her all along--if only she'd just look up.

At the start of his career as a safety professional in 1998, Rod channeled the attitude, skills, and culture of the military, prison system, and law enforcement into his new duties. On his very first job he was told to, "Go find them doing something wrong," and, "If you catch them breaking safety rules you can fire them.” He did just that, and he was good at it. Rod let them have it, all the while convinced in his heart that he was doing the right thing. Despite the sincere desire to make a difference and help others go home safely to their families, he was the worst safety professional ever! Advice from the Worst Safety Professional Ever covers the early mistakes Rod made in his career as a safety professional and contains the advice all early safety professionals need, but often do not get. Rod goes into detail about the skill sets needed for success as well as where the safety industry came from, where it is at presently, and expectations for the future. Rod encourages readers to laugh (with or at him) as they read about the silly mistakes he used to make—so they don’t have to make them too!
