Connor Forrest is a self-made billionaire only one generation removed from the emerald turf of his mother's Ireland. Jaded by the high risk, high tech investment world he inhabits, he has little time for introspection, poetry, or true love. A piece of perfectly thought out logic, on the other hand, makes him weak in the knees. Rebecca Evans is a brilliant computer programmer disguised as a ditzy blonde. She's looking for love, but people are not as predictable as her favorite equations. A fall in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park sends her straight into Connor's arms, but getting into his heart is a much harder task. Can Connor learn that true love, like gold futures, is worth a little risk?

Language Disorders in Bilingual Children and Adults, Third Edition

By: Kathryn Kohnert,Kerry Danahy Ebert,Giang Thuy Pham

Language Disorders in Bilingual Children and Adults, Third Edition, provides speech-language pathologists, advanced students in communication disorders programs, and clinical language researchers with information needed to formulate and respond to questions related to effective service delivery to bilingual children and adults with suspected or confirmed language disorders. The bilinguals of interest represent varying levels of first and second language proficiency across the lifespan. That is, bilingualism is not determined here by proficiency in each language, but rather by the individual's experience or need for two languages. In separate chapters, the book synthesizes the literature on bilingual children and adults with typical and atypical language skills. These chapters give the reader a deep understanding of the multiple factors that affect language development and disorders in those who rely on two languages for meaningful interactions. Chapters on assessment and intervention issues and methods are then presented for each population. For children, the text focuses on developmental language disorder but also discusses secondary language disorders (such as autism spectrum disorder) in bilingual populations. For adults, the focus is on aphasia, with additional discussion of dementia, traumatic brain injury, and right hemisphere disorder. Although child and adult, typical and atypical populations are presented separately, all are considered within a unifying Dynamic Interactive Processing perspective and within a new Means-Opportunities-Motives framework for understanding language disorders in bilinguals. This broad theoretical framework emphasizes interactions between social, cognitive, and communicative systems to form the basis for very practical implications related to assessment and intervention. This third edition has been completely updated to reflect the current research on bilingual populations and the best practices for working with them. Studies at the intersection of bilingualism and language disorders have expanded to include additional disorders and new language combinations. The authors synthesize the current literature and translate it for clinical use. New to the Third Edition • Coauthors Kerry Danahy Ebert, PhD, CCC-SLP and Giang Thuy Pham, PhD, CCC-SLP • Updated literature review and references to reflect new research on bilingualism, cultural competence, cognitive advantages and clinical practice with linguistically diverse populations • Case studies on assessment with bilingual children and adults • Additional tables and figures summarizing key information • Available evidence on additional child and adult language disorders in bilinguals • Updated extension activities and resource supplement

By: Kathryn Brocato,Kristina Knight,Tami Lund,Nicole Flockton,Leslie P García,Monica Tillery,Nancy C Weeks,Pema Donyo,Winter Austin,Beverly A Rogers

Can’t get enough of sexy cowboys? Check out these ten tales of bold, funny, take-charge couples who team up to wrangle a love as big as the Texas sky! The Texas Takedown: Berry Challoner’s going undercover as a secretary to solve her brother’s murder. Surely accountant Tyler Reid, his best friend, can help her follow the money to the killer. But when she’s targeted next, can meek Tyler save the girl who’s captured his heart? What a Texas Girl Wants: The last thing Jackson Taylor wants is a down-to-earth girl like Kathleen Witte, so why did he wake up on a Mexican beach with a ring on his finger? Once they’re back in Texas, this all-business marriage might turn into an all-consuming love. Delicious Deception: Artist Emily Kate Boudreaux runs a restaurant on a Texas bayou because it’s what her family expects. Then sexy chef Connor Rikeland walks into her life and turns her business—and her bed—into one hot adventure. But Connor isn’t who he seems to be, and Emily Kate questions what’s real, what’s a lie, and what’s worth risking her heart over. Sweet Texas Fire: When Gage Cooper’s business nemesis, environmental analyst Charlotte Wilkinson, inherits oil-rich family property, he’ll do anything to reverse this fortune, including eloping to Vegas. But surprising chemistry blossoms and Gage must choose between the land he’s always coveted or a future with Charlotte. A Love Beyond: Convinced her sister’s abusive marriage led to her suicide, A.J. Owens travels to her brother-in-law’s Texas ranch to unearth his secrets. Chance Landin, his head of security, knows there’s something fishy about this gorgeous blonde. Can love triumph over revenge? The Election Connection: War widow Lily Ashton’s heart is closed to love, so she’s the perfect choice to play fiancée to help secure a re-election for her pal, Texas congressman Ford Richardson. Soon, their not-quite engagement starts to feel much more real than either is ready to admit. In the Shadow of Pride: When Lexie Trevena’s matchmaking friends accidentally place her smack in the path of a terrorist in Austin who intends to use her as his pawn, the only person who can help her is Special Agent-in-Charge Luke “Mac” McNeil—the man she holds responsible for her husband’s death. One Last Letter: Jesse Greenwood can only admit his true feelings for heartbreaker Evelyn Lancaster via unsigned letters left on her porch…until another man comes forward to lay claim. Will one final note give them the courage to say yes to love again on the wild Texas plains? Relentless: Battling his partner, his attraction to cowgirl Cody, and the demons of his past, Dallas detective Remy LeBeau must risk it all to catch a serial killer. But it could cost him everything—including Cody’s life. Broken Wings, Soaring Hearts: Hailey Holman is set on keeping her dad’s dream of reopening their small-town Texas base station alive. Jack Stinson wants to escape the pressures of his own family’s airplane manufacturing business. Only with each other’s help, can these two focused pilots have enough faith to soar together.
