One Night, Second Chance

By: Robyn Grady

It was a mind-blowing night of passion between complete strangers. Or so it seems… Then publishing mogul Wynn Hunter discovers that the ravishing temptress who'd shared his bed was none other than his childhood nemesis, Grace Munroe. No wonder he didn't recognize her—the scrawny, pigtailed brat has blossomed into a dazzling beauty. Disastrous romances have made them both wary of entanglements. So when Wynn lures Grace to Australia for a family wedding, they're determined to keep things light. But when life-threatening chaos erupts in Wynn's family, can these childhood adversaries find the courage to fall in love?

For Blackmail...or Pleasure

By: Robyn Grady

Multimillionaire Tate Bridges wouldn't let anything threaten what was his, whether it was his sprawling Australian media empire or his deeply troubled family. And he'd do whatever it took to protect his own—even blackmailing the only woman he'd ever loved.… He needed Donna Wilks's help desperately, and he wasn't above using her own troubles to get it. But the more ruthlessly Tate pressured her, the more he felt the stirrings of unforgotten passion. Until he no longer knew if what he wanted from Donna was business or pleasure.…

Get swept away from your everyday troubles with these ten vacation romances. A change of scenery and a sexy stranger leads to sparks flying for these charming couples. But when their holidays are over, can they figure out how to turn their flings into forever love? What a Texas Girl Wants: The last thing Jackson Taylor wants in his life is a down-to-earth girl like Kathleen Witte, so why did he just wake up next to her on a Mexican beach with a ring on his finger? Once they're back in Texas, though, this all-business marriage might just turn into an all-consuming love. Summer Promises: Drama queen Carly Foster is stuck performing in a touristy ghost town with charming Asher Day. Is he flirting with her because he's bored or is there room for passionate play off stage, too? Jade's Treasure: Jade Sawyer simply wants to be left alone to manage her family's mountain resort and design her jewelry. Then world-famous author Matthew Riley McLaughlin books a room as a hideout, and their shared need for privacy becomes personal. But can she overlook a shocking betrayal? The Spanish Acquisition: When multibillionaire business mogul Carlos meets struggling art student Lily on vacation in the Dominican Republic, passion ignites. But they must overcome their differences as well as a mix-up of mistaken identity. California Wine: Italian Marcos Gamari has one goal in life: to create the finest wine from the best vineyards in the world. Then he meets single mother Elizabeth Ladina, who shows him that his real dream just may reside here in the mountains of Santa Cruz. Between the Sheets: An annual retreat is the perfect setting for music teacher Maggie Schafer to turn over a new leaf in her love life, but then a pretend romance with handsome Randy Devers gets surprisingly real. All About Charming Alice: Quirky Alice Treemont gives up hope of finding love in rural Blake's Folly, Nevada, until dashing and well-to-do author Jace Constant comes to town to research his new book. Opposites indeed attract, and soon the whole town is determined to make a love match. Just for the Weekend: Multimillionaire Sam Mason is sick of gold diggers. When he meets a role-playing kindergarten teacher at a sci-fi convention in Vegas, she seems like the real thing. Then—surprise!—he wakes up married to this sexy stranger...only to find his new bride has vanished. Is he looking for a swindler or the love of his life? Christmas Dinner: Amanda dreads returning home single for Christmas, but the only available man to play escort is her rival for the TV anchor spot. When he agrees, much to her surprise, they both see a different side of each other under the mistletoe. Trapped in Tourist Town: Cady Eaton dreams of the bright lights of New York City, but she's stuck playing tour guide to travel writer Burke Sanders in tiny Scallop Shores. When deeper feelings develop, can he convince her that everything they need is right in front of them?

Christmas Dinner

By: Robyn Neeley

News anchor Amanda Turner used to love everything about the holidays - the eggnog sugar cookies, the tacky family Christmas sweaters, and a lawn decorated with so many multi-colored lights that 747s could land safely. That is until her boyfriend dumped her in front of the whole town on Christmas Eve. Humiliated, she fled her small town to start a new life. Two years later, she's finally ready to return to the scene of the emotional crime, until she learns that her ex is engaged. Now, the only thing worse than going home is going home single. Tate Ryan, her tall, dark, and arrogant co-anchor, offers to pose as her boyfriend. There’s one problem, though: they barely like each other, and he recently scooped her story on live TV. But she needs a ride home and a boyfriend fast, so Tate will have to do. As she watches Tate interact with her family and town residents, fully embracing the spirit of the holiday season, she starts to see his kindhearted side. She can’t help but wonder if she was wrong about him. Perhaps he isn't the conniving co-worker that she once thought. And her new feelings for him would definitely put her on the naughty list. Tate has his own agenda for the weekend that includes telling Amanda he's been in love with her since the first time they met. He's ready to reveal all during Christmas dinner but fate has other plans. Sensuality Level: Behind Closed Doors

Desegregating Texas Schools

Eisenhower, Shivers, and the Crisis at Mansfield High

By: Robyn Duff Ladino

This study of school integration struggles in 1950s Texas demonstrates how power politics denied black students their constitutional rights. In the famous Brown v. the Board of Education decisions of 1954 and 1955, the United States Supreme Court ruled that “separate but equal” schools for black and white students were unconstitutional. Yet it took more than a decade of struggle before black students gained full access to previously white schools. Mansfield, Texas, a small community southeast of Fort Worth, was the scene of an early school integration attempt. In this book, Robyn Duff Ladino draws on interviews with surviving participants, media reports, and archival research to provide the first full account of the Mansfield school integration crisis of 1956. Ladino explores how politics at the local, state, and federal levels ultimately prevented the integration of Mansfield High School in 1956. Her research sheds new light on the actions of Governor Allan Shivers—who, in the eyes of the segregationists, validated their cause through his actions—and it underscores President Eisenhower’s public passivity toward civil rights during his first term of office. Despite the short-term failure, however, the Mansfield school integration crisis helped pave the way for the successful integration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957. Thus, it deserves a permanent place in the history of the civil rights movement.

9 Fake-It-to-Make-It Romances

By: Nicole Flockton,Alexia Adams,Monica Tillery,Dana Volney,Synithia Williams,Evan Purcell,Robyn Neeley,Jenny Jacobs,Ellen Parker

Relationship goals get redefined in this fun collection of contemporary romances featuring fakeout makeouts, counterfeit couples, and mock marriages. But can false pretenses lead to lasting love for these duplicitous duos? Sweet Texas Fire: Gage Cooper has always wanted the family cabin. Instead, his business nemesis, environmental analyst Charlotte Wilkinson, inherits this valuable property with its oil-rich land and its secrets, and Gage pockets a useless key. He’ll do anything to reverse this fortune, including eloping to Vegas for a sham marriage. But as they discover common ground and a surprising chemistry together, suddenly Gage must decide what’s worth more: the land he covets or a future with Charlotte. The Confection Connection: Carly Piper’s only way to save her bakery is to partner with her rival chef from a TV reality show to produce a wedding cake for a famous bride. The missing ingredient: their client thinks they’re Mr. and Mrs. Is this a half-baked proposal, or will love be the icing on the cake? The December Deal: Lilia Carrigan needs serious cash to get her dad into experimental trials. According to his father’s will, Vincent Morgenstern must marry or lose out on inheriting the family business he loves so much. The crazy solution to both their problems is obvious. But as the holiday season works its magic, their platonic partnership threatens to get very personal. Will their December deal stay professional, or will real feelings ruin everything? Her Faux Fiancé: Hotshot lawyer Erik Sigurdson breezes into town determined to survive a two-week family reunion. He makes his ex, combat photographer Analise Thordarson, an irresistible offer: pretend to be his fiancée and he’ll pay off her grandfather’s debts. But when their fake engagement is complicated by a very real pregnancy, they must sort out just who is using whom and if this sham relationship could lead to a real future. Making It Real: After five years in prison, Kareem Henderson is on the right track as a barber, but he needs society connections to make his own shop a reality. Patrice “Neecie” Baldwin needs a shield to return home, so she makes Kareem an offer: Pretend to be her fiancé and she’ll introduce him to her well-heeled relatives. But they didn’t discuss what to do if a fake relationship becomes something very real. Waking Up to Love: When Scott McInney’s mom gets a slight case of amnesia, he convinces Ramona, the identical twin sister of his runaway wife, to step into her shoes. Ramona reluctantly agrees to help, but when the pretending gets too real, will Scott figure out that he might have married the wrong twin? Christmas Dinner: Amanda dreads returning home single for Christmas, but the only available man to play escort is Tate Ryan, her co-anchor and professional rival. When he agrees, much to her surprise, they see a different side of each other under the mistletoe. Sadie’s Story: When businessman Jordan Blaise walks into Sadie Rose Perkins’s bookstore, she’s hoping to sell a paperback or two. Instead he asks her to pose as his wife-to-be so he can convince his dying mother he’ll have the happily ever after she has always wanted for him. But even Sadie isn’t prepared for the adventure falling in love turns out to be. Hiding Places: Mona Smith is on the run to avoid getting mixed up in some dirty business with a drug kingpin. Will she find escape or more trouble in unexpected savior Linc Dray’s arms when he sees her presence as a way to fulfill a contract and save his family farm? Sensuality Level: Sensual

Christmas Wishes

8 Holiday Romances

By: Nicole Flockton,Casey Dawes,Peggy Bird,Robyn Neeley,Diana Jean,Alicia Hunter Pace,Dana Volney,Monica Tillery

Visions of sugarplums are so overdone--this year, invite love to dance in your head. These eight couples know just how to put the merry in mistletoe antics: Tangled Vines: Kyle Davis's tragic past has put the brakes on Christmas celebrations at his Australian ranch...until he arrives for some peace and quiet only to find caretaker Jordan Hastings in his shower. Jordan is trying to get her career as a winemaker back on track by bringing the neglected grapes on the property to life. Kyle is hard to resist, but falling for a man who controls her employment is not in her plans. Yet the more time they spend together, the more open they become to taking another risk on living and loving. Sweet Montana Christmas: Leaving behind her stifling Texas roots, Sue Anne Devereaux is busy getting a chocolate shop in Montana off the ground. The one big distraction: security guard Zach Crippen, who can't wait to finish his penance at Missoula's tiny airport, where he was banished after he made a huge career mistake. A casual fling--no strings attached--would be fine with him. Will their dreams cost them a chance at a future together, or will the holiday spirit help foster a lasting love? Lights, Latkes, and Love: Non-profit CEO David Shay can't get enough of the December festivities. As manager of a large retail store, Hannah Jenkins, on the other hand, turns into a jaded Scrooge every year on Black Friday. Can a nice Jewish boy--with the help of some Christmas lights, a little girl, and a latke party--teach Hannah the true meaning of the season and guarantee them both a New Year's Eve kiss to remember? Christmas Dinner: Amanda dreads returning home single for Christmas, but the only available man to play escort is Tate Ryan, her co-anchor and professional rival. When he agrees, much to her surprise, they both see a different side of each other under the mistletoe. His Hawaiian Christmas: Humbug in Hawaii? When Clara O'Fallen gets a promotion to paradise, she can't help feeling homesick for her Wisconsin winters, complete with real snow, family traditions, and Christmas festivities. But smiling surfer Kai Schmitt might just show this Scrooge how to hang loose and catch the spirit of the season--the aloha spirit! Nickolai's Noel: A chance meeting and a snowy ice storm bring together an unlikely pair--Russian hockey player Nickolai Glaznov and artisan quilt maker Noel Verden--on the most enchanting day of the year. A special connection flares between them despite his lack of roots and her overly involved family. But when the ice melts, will the magic disappear too? Christmas Clash: Candace Ellison is determined to stop the city council's convention center project from demolishing her new flower shop. Unfortunately, that means she'll have to cooperate with annoying Luke Carrigan, whose family pub is also on the chopping block. Will this Christmas bring miracles or the destruction of everything these old rivals love? Her Secret Santa: Neighbors and co-workers at Morgan Confectioners, Rebecca Sinclair and Ben Redding have been best friends since grad school. When their feelings turn more than friendly, will they be able to get past their fear of ruining their friendship? A holiday gift exchange might just bring the best present of all--Christmas love.

A Compendium of Tests, Scales and Questionnaires

The Practitioner's Guide to Measuring Outcomes after Acquired Brain Impairment

By: Robyn L. Tate

This Compendium is a comprehensive reference manual containing an extensive selection of instruments developed to measure signs and symptoms commonly encountered in neurological conditions, both progressive and non-progressive. It provides a repository of established instruments, as well as newly-developed scales, and covers all aspects of the functional consequences of acquired brain impairment. In particular, the text provides a detailed review of approximately 150 specialist instruments for the assessment of people with neurological conditions such as dementia, multiple sclerosis, stroke and traumatic brain injury. Part A presents scales examining body functions, including consciousness and orientation; general and specific cognitive functions; regulation of behaviour, thought, and emotion; and motor-sensory functions. Part B reviews scales of daily living activities and community participation. Part C focuses on contextual factors, specifically environmental issues, and Part D contains multidimensional and quality of life instruments. Each instrument is described in a stand-alone report using a uniform format. A brief history of the instrument's development is provided, along with a description of item content and administration/scoring procedures. Psychometric properties are reviewed and a critical commentary is provided. Key references are cited and in most cases the actual scale is included, giving the reader easy access to the instrument. The structure of the book directly maps onto the taxonomy of the influential International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (World Health Organization, 2001), enabling linkage of clinical concepts across health conditions. The Compendium will be a valuable reference for clinicians, researchers, educators, and graduate students, and a practical resource for those involved in the assessment of people with brain impairment. The book is accompanied by a password protected website. For a one-off payment, purchasers of the book can gain online access to the majority of the tests, scales and questionnaires featured in the book as downloadable PDFs. See inside the book for more details.

The Practitioner's Guide to Measuring Outcomes After Acquired Brain Impairment

By: Robyn L. Tate,Ian D. Cameron

Attention, brain injury researchers and clinicians! This unique compilation is a must-have for your bookshelf, as it brings order to the chaos wrought by the explosion of scales in this area. Professor Tate's judiciously - and meticulously - selected collection of assessment instruments offers an optimal blend of comprehensiveness, brevity and detail required to help you quickly identify the measures you need."- Bruce Caplan, Senior Editor, Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation and Private Practitioner in Wynnewood, PA, USA "This is a book that all neuropsychologists and clinical psychologists should have on their bookshelves - and within easy reach! Other professions, particularly occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, rehabilitation doctors and neurologists will also find it extremely useful. I believe it will prove to be a classic. To have all this information to hand in one volume is a treat and I am sure I will not be the only psychologist who will be referring to this treasure very frequently." - Barbara Wilson, MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge, UK "Tate's Compendium is an extraordinary and comprehensive work. Concise syntheses of each measure's psychometric qualities, utility, applications, and clear linkages to the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) greatly facilitate comparison and selection of measures. This landmark volume will find a welcome home on the shelf of any student, clinician, or researcher involved in the assessment of the sequelae of acquired brain disorders." - James F. Malec, Research Director, Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana, USA and Professor Emeritus, Mayo Clinic "The time consuming hunt to identify and understand the pros and cons of available outcome measures is over. Dr. Tate has compiled a comprehensive, scholarly, and eminently useful guide to help clinicians select screening tests, rating scales and questionnaires matched to their clinical needs. This book will be one of the most well used resources by clinicians concerned with documenting and measuring neurologically-based impairments."- McKay Moore Sohlberg, Professor of Communication Disorders & Sciences at University of Oregon, USA and Author of Cognitive Rehabilitation: An Integrated Neuropsychological Approach "Tate has identified the relevant information on a huge number of scales to save us much of the work and for that we should be extremely grateful. The book is an incredibly useful resource. I am sure clinicians, therapists and researchers working in the field of acquired brain injury will consult this book frequently - I know I will." - Jonathan Evans, Professor of Applied Neuropsychology, University of Glasgow, UK "With this book, Professor Tate is not only providing an incredibly valuable service in creating a compendium of what measures are currently available; she has also done much of the ground work for improving evidence-based practice for the future." - Huw Williams, Associate Professor of Clinical Neuropsychology, University of Exeter, UK This Compendium is a comprehensive reference manual containing an extensive selection of instruments developed to measure signs and symptoms commonly encountered in neurological conditions, both progressive and non-progressive. It provides a repository of established instruments, as well as newly-developed scales, and covers all aspects of the functional consequences of acquired brain impairment. In particular, the text provides a detailed review of approximately 150 specialist instruments for the assessment of people with neurological conditions such as dementia, multiple sclerosis, stroke and traumatic brain injury. Part A presents scales examining body functions, including consciousness and orientation; general and specific cognitive functions; regulation of behaviour, thought, and emotion; and motor-sensory functions. Part B reviews scales of daily living activities and community participation. Part C focuses on contextual factors, specifically environmental issues, and Part D contains multidimensional and quality of life instruments. Each instrument is described as a stand-alone report using a uniform format. A brief history of the instrument's development is provided, along with a description of item content and administration/scoring procedures. Psychometric properties are reviewed and a critical commentary is provided. Key references are cited and in most cases the actual scale is included, giving the reader easy access to the instrument. The structure of the book directly maps onto the taxonomy of the influential International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (World Health Organization, 2001), enabling linkage of clinical concepts across health conditions. The Compendium will be a valuable reference for clinicians, researchers, educators, and graduate students, and a practical resource for those involved in the assessment of people with brain impairment.

Single-Case Experimental Designs for Clinical Research and Neurorehabilitation Settings

Planning, Conduct, Analysis and Reporting

By: Robyn Tate,Michael Perdices

This book is a practical resource designed for clinicians, researchers, and advanced students who wish to learn about single-case research designs. It covers the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of single-case designs, as well as their practical application in the clinical and research neurorehabilitation setting. The book briefly traces the history of single-case experimental designs (SCEDs); outlines important considerations in understanding and planning a scientifically rigorous single-case study, including internal and external validity; describes prototypical single-case designs (withdrawal-reversal designs and the medical N-of-1 trial, multiple-baseline designs, alternating-treatments designs, and changing-criterion designs) and required features to meet evidence standards, threats to internal validity, and strategies to address them; addresses data evaluation, covering visual analysis of graphed data, statistical techniques, and clinical significance; and provides a practical ten-step procedure for implementing single-case methods. Each chapter includes detailed illustrative examples from the neurorehabilitation literature. Novel features include: A focus on the neurorehabilitation setting, which is particularly suitable for single-case designs because of the complex and often unique presentation of many patients/clients. A practical approach to the planning, implementation, data analysis, and reporting of single-case designs. An appendix providing a detailed summary of many recently published SCEDs in representative domains in the neurorehabilitation field, covering basic and instrumental activities of daily living, challenging behaviours, disorders of communication and cognition, mood and emotional functions, and motor-sensory disabilities. It is valuable reading for clinicians and researchers in several disciplines working in rehabilitation, including clinical and neuropsychology, education, language and speech pathology, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. It is also an essential resource for advanced students in these fields who need a textbook for specialised courses on research methodology and use of single-case design in applied clinical and research settings.

So You Want a BABY?

By: Robyn L. Tate

So You Want a BABY? By: Robyn L. Tate Many people, when they think about having children, only think of the cute and cuddly baby, all the while forgetting the other phases of life. This results in being ill-prepared and can lead to a devastating outcome. The author shares her personal story, her beliefs on parenting, and provides insight and information on what to expect with each phase of a child’s life from infancy to adulthood. For the childless, the insight provided is to inform you of what to expect and to give you things to consider before you have children. For those who already have children, whether biological, step children, or are guardians, the author’s desire is to aid you in becoming better parents/guardians and to prepare you for the upcoming phases of your children’s lives.
